    Looking forward to watching real world reviews of this new computer and monitor.  Yes it may seem expensive, but when you think that it's possible to get 10 years out of a computer this powerful and this monitor will certainly not be obsolete any time soon - is it really that expensive over time ?   Instead of buying 2 or 3 high end desktops\laptops in 10 years - just buy this... 
    I think it all depends on what you're doing. I doubt any serious professional (company) is gonna buy one and expect it to last 10yrs. For most companies the standard length they keep a computer around (Mac or PC) is 3yrs before its considered EOL (End of Life). That doesn't mean its useless, its just a standard some companies go by. 
    You are correct it does depend on what you're doing, I'm talking more about the average Joe who works out of his house - not some huge production company with truckloads of money to throw around.
    The average joe working out of his house is not going to spend $12K for the base model Mac Pro and display.  They likely switched to a PC after the trash can failure of 2013, or they bought an iMac Pro.  Apple made another 'designer' computer that is priced out of reality.

    It’s always funny to me when people reveal their ignorance of pop culture as if it were some badge of honor. 
    It's funny when people try to claim these no-name artists are actually significant.

    So Apple is going to have fake awards just like MTV?

  • Apple TV+ secures Oprah Winfrey film on music industry sexual misconduct


    More Tim Cook trash. 

    Yeah because people want to pay five bucks a month to see a mockumentary about sexual abuse.   Better yet why doesn’t 
    Oprah just do a film on Weinstein since she has so many smiling pictures with him. 

    Tim you’re trash because you don’t have a backbone to stand up to China 

    Oprah you’re trash because you know the predators in Hollywood which is why you’re crapping on the music industry when you’re 
    industry  is the pinnacle of pedofilia 


    Nailed it.  Oprah is too invested in Hollywood to trash talk the truth about Hollywood...so she would rather jump on allegations in the music industry instead.  I wonder how many would cancel their Apple Music subscriptions after she trashes the industry?

    The documentary, which currently does not have a title, will follow a former music executive who was allegedly assaulted by a major figure in the industry. The Apple TV film will observe the executive as they come to terms with the prospect of going public with the story, and likely how it could impact both parties.

    So if I understand correctly, someone without any evidence whatsoever, gets to publicly accuse another person of sexual abuse, play the "victim card" on national TV; and the accused must prove his/her innocence in the court of public opinion.  The accused may have their career/reputation/marriage destroyed either out of revenge, malice, or just to appease the ego of the accuser - without recourse, appeal or way to recover their reputation.

    All in the name of "entertainment".

    I am no fan of sexual abuse, in fact if it were up to me, it would be a capital offense - but we do have a legal system to handle this sort of thing, where the rights of the accuser and the accused are both respected, where evidence is required, and proof of guilt is required.  This is a mockery of justice, masquerading as a "Documentary".  If you want to do a real documentary on sexual abuse, there are countries that practice slavery, where children are sold as sex slaves - but that would be asking too much.
    You’re sure making a lot of assumptions here, so I’m going to guess that no, you do not “understand correctly”. You have no idea what evidence they have or what’s been vetted by these award-winning documentarians, whom I would venture to guess take this project quite seriously. 
    Apparently you don't get it.  The former music exec was ALLEGEDLY assaulted and NOW wants to go public via Oprah Winfrey, instead of through the legal system.
