  • Steve Jobs' mega yacht bashed a billionaire's boat in Italy

    My guess is the boat captain was a little busy getting a happy ending somewhere not in the wheelhouse.
    That may be true, coincidentally explained, as follows, in another thread today:

    Would be a life saver for table space, and mounting ass well.

  • M4 Mac mini rumored to get a redesign making it smaller than ever before

    ...5 paragraphs cut to save trees...
    Sorry for getting off track from the Mac mini topic, but I think both the Mac mini and Apple TV are products that can serve many different needs and could serve even more if Apple tweaked them up a bit more into being building blocks of modular, flexible, and extensible computing and media systems. The days of extensibility based on single product enhancements is over. Everything is sealed up tight. But extensibility via combining and integrating essential 1st party and 3rd party building block products like the Mac mini, Apple TV, HomePods, HomeKit, and mobile devices is still very much in play.  

    Thanks for all that information! It's just what I needed. One of the best Dell monitor features is its built-in KVM (on many models) which would be really handy for me.

  • New Macs in 2025 rumored to get at least one major design refresh

    I want Apple to make consistent designs and copy the "Action Button" hardware from the iPhone and Apple Watch to the iPad and all Macs.

  • Apple Arcade developers say working with Apple is like being in an 'abusive relationship'

    If this article is to be believed, it still doesn't say what developers want. E.g., "It's like an abusive relationship where the abused stays in the relationship hoping the other partner will change and become the person you know they could be." - okay tell us what you want Apple to be. Be specific. Don't be silent on specifics. Say something useful. How can we be persuaded by an empty argument? I suspect that they are being silent because they want "everything" including the user's email address so they can target the users with personal data. If Apple did gave them that information, without my permission, I would stop using Apple Arcade. I would pay lots of real money for games, as long as my identity is anonymized and hidden by Apple. But I admit probably 90% of all users care nothing about privacy, until the government gets access to their data. Then they will scream and cry. But give your data to communist China, and people won't care. The only enemy they hate is their own government.
