  • Windows 11 leaks invoke Windows 10x design, tease new Start menu

    zimmermannzimmermann
    I was under the impression that every version of Windows going forward would be Windows 10. 
    I'm looking forward to Windows 11. I wonder if it will be a free upgrade or a paid one. 

    I bought a Windows 10 physical copy for dual booting on my iMac a couple of years ago. However, on my Mac Mini, I had Windows 7 installed already and was able to upgrade it to 10 for free (I can't remember if I went from 7 to 8 and then to 10, or directly from 7 to 10).

    On eBay one can - very cheaply - get a key for Windows 7. After installing you can (still) upgrade to 10. I used this method to get a legal copy to run on my MacBook with Parallels.

  • Siri whistleblower says Apple should face investigations over grading controversy

    It all sound so un-Apple, meaning: not well thought out. Not thinking things through. Strange.

  • EU may force Apple to make iPhone battery replacements easier

    Let's all go back to the 90's, where phones were fat and they all had these little battery compartments, what a wonderful idea!

    The EU is just absolutely disgusting and there is apparently no limit to the amount of idiotic and braindead ideas that they come up with.

    They need to leave American companies, Americans and all other normal people who are not a part of the EU out of their schemes, because we will not partake in their lunacy.

    If the EU wants replaceable batteries, then they can get Nokia or somebody to provide all phones for them. The EU does not deserve to use modern smart phones or to partake in the modern, civilized world.

    Apple should seriously consider telling the EU to take a hike.

    The EU is bad for innovation, bad for tech, bad for freedom and bad for all humankind, in my honest opinion.

    What's the next ingenious idea that those EU retards will think of next week? I can hardly wait.
    As I understand it rules and regulations oftentimes stimulates innovation. For instance, because of strict regulations innovation in car engines has surged. And don’t we trust Apple to come with the best removable battery ever? Come on guys, don’t take the easy route of simply EU bashing.

    Apple should just get out of India altogether.  It's not exactly an iPhone-like place. 

    There's plenty of other countries in the world with more wealthy people.  That is where Apple needs to expand.

    Ban India!

  • Hands On: Keymand 1.1 brings touch-screen options to your Mac from a connected iPad

    zimmermannzimmermann
    I'm trying it out right now, but as of yet I don't seem to get it to work on a web based program. The buttons Keymand shows are (of course) how to control Safari, but the program I'm running from Safari is not shown, and I don't seem to be able to make the buttons work for that program. A pity. Had high hopes to make this web based program, I use every day, a lot smarter.
