    Mock me if you will, I’m a launch day adopter here. Wallet. Keys. iPad and maybe glasses!  Lol!

    Not sure why you’d need for an iPad?

    I will concede on the multi-monitor support though, which they point out in one of the ads. With that being said:



    The MacBook Air (M1) doesn't have a touch bar, and they are showing what looks to be a 15-inch MacBook Pro -- without a Touch Bar????

    Limited creation applications? 😑

    If AirTags aren't announced at the next event can we stop talking about them?
    Why?  I happen to be interested in them.
    Im very excited about these. Our tile (for my wife’s car keys) has become glitchy and now just a couple days ago, basically inoperable. Would much rather go with this Apple solution as a replacement. If it works on our older devices that is...

    These air tag thingies could be a real disaster for Apple if they screw it up. That anti-stalking stuff has to be flawless. Apple has made privacy its signature, marquee product and anything that is rumored to or even alleges that it has failed will make antenna gate look laughable. If "don't hold it like that" turns to "be sure you check your notifications  to see if someone with a restraining order has been watching you in the last few minutes" Apple is...well...dooooomed.


    I dunno, I mean are there a bunch of horror stories about tile trackers? I live under a rock so this is an actual question. Either way I imagine Apple would do much better than tile at security and ease of use.

  • Salesforce to acquire Slack in $27.7 billion deal

    Well, at least those pricey contracts now have something to show for themselves...  ;)
    And yet still unprofitable...

    chasm said:
    I appreciate that Slack is popular and in wide use, and that the server farms that must require are not worthless, but ... $27 billion? That seems about $20B overpriced to me, at least.
    Yeah, I clearly don’t understand how any of this works. what could be soo valuable if the asking rate isn’t covering operating costs.....
