  • Microsoft 'Photos Companion' iPhone app allows for easy transfer of pictures to Windows 10...

    Not a normal poster here, but this app makes me want to weigh in...I like the concept...problem is someone else has already done what this app offers only better. 

    Check out http://rambax.com/simpletransfer

    There's a free and a paid version, but honestly the ease of use is so much better with Simple Transfer than this app.

  • Editorial: The future of Apple's Macintosh

    This editorial was great. As an Apple-focused IT professional, I love seeing how macOS continues to be a great software platform, but it seems like we get little love these days from Apple's hardware guys especially on the desktop side. When building our instructional labs (with a mandate to have them last 5 or so years), I dislike having to choose from 2 year old hardware that hasn't been refreshed as the basis for my build, though Apple's laptops are quick to get refreshes (maybe not so much from the author of this article's view).

    If Apple would re-open the clone program for desktops knowing that their bottom line wouldn't change too much, I could build some great Mac labs on newer hardware and deal with a company like Dell or HP (or a big name vendor like).

    Let these guys handle the supply chain issues, give them a reference motherboard that they have to base the design on and a licensing fee to pre-install macOS. Then that vendor could sell to us in a market Apple's doesn't have the energy to focus on.

    My two cents
