  • Compared: Apple's 2020 13-inch MacBook Pro vs 2019 13-inch MacBook Pro

    If I'm doing this correctly....
    For 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD, the cheapest 2020 model would be $1399 and the 2019 one is $1569.  Hmmmmm.  Should I pull the trigger or wait until the newbies get discounted a bit?

    So this spyware only needs a physical access to the device and an admin password to work?
    Sounds like an old joke about viruses on Linux - they work if you find and install correct versions of all necessary libraries.
    The main way it gets onto your phone is if you click on a link that is sent to you via email or SMS.  I *believe* it can get onto your phone via other ways, but would love to hear how.  It is possible it is secretly embedded in other, random Web sites around the world, and there are possibly ways that they can do it that they won't disclose.  Citizen Lab has done a great job attempting to keep track of this company's activities.

  • Kuo: Demand for new MacBook Pro models tepid due to high prices, disappointing specs

    Honestly, I would totally a buy a new MBP right now if it were not for the price.  I am in disbelief at how expensive they are given the minor improvements YoY, and it's amazing the number of people who defend Apple's practices.  I think if the same 13" laptop were $1999, some of them would still support Apple.
