While I think the Mac Pro is too expensive for my needs, The monitor stand pricing is just plain ridiculous. Even this guy thinks so:

Next article should read "Non-pro users on why Mac Pro is too expensive".

I was reading that the lack of Nvidia support is a deal breaker for some when it comes to the Mac Pro. I can't imagine that you couldn't build a comparable PC with Nvidia cards for less than the price of a Mac Pro. But then there's the OS. That matters for some. For others, it's the tools that matter. 

But the OS can ruin the tools. I used to work in recording studios and they didn't dare touch Windows because it would freeze mid-recording after 6 hours of work and the engineer forgot to save or would crash and delete Gigs of sessions. Eventually Windows computers in low end studios would upgrade to fix these issues. All high end studios had Mac Pros.

Also Windows can't run some tools like Logic.

Yep, There have been issues with Windows in the past and I'm sure there are instances of issues with the current version. But let's not pretend that these things don't happen with Mac OS too. If you're using software that works on Mac OS only, then that's the platform you need. Most third party software works on both so at least you have a choice. The current version of Windows is pretty solid and I've had no major issues with how it works. Kinda the same as my current Mac OS version.

Is the OS not a tool?  

I guess you can consider it a tool if you want. In that case, both Mac OS and Windows accomplished the same thing in different ways. It's a matter of preference.

I'm not sure if I should cringe or laugh... If you can't beat 'em... copy (wait, no, what?)

Copy what? something that doesn't exist.

Well it does exist, on certain Huawei phones for instance. On the iPhone there are several longtime Apple users here who are saying Apple won't be one of those using a similar camera array. Google surprisingly has confirmed theirs.

From another Apple fan site:

"The strategy is quite revealing for a phone that isn’t usually announced until early October. However, it brilliantly allows Google to control the narrative of what its next device looks like rather than face a torrent of renders in the coming months. This is in sharp contrast to the near constant leaks that plagued the last two Made by Google phones.

Of course, there are still many unknowns about the Pixel 4. Google did not release what the front of the phone looks like. The lack of a fingerprint sensor nearly confirms the use of face recognition, with current rumors suggesting a full-width bezel up top to house everything."

Agreed, but I was referring to Apple which I believe is what marsorry was referring to.
