  • How to change the volume on a Mac in small increments

    I wonder why Apple couldn’t have made it a single modifier key. 
    because each modifier does its own thing( I've just discovered.)
    Shift makes noise when you change volume which is normally a silent operation, Option opens sound control panel. Also good to know

  • The next Apple CEO: Who could succeed Tim Cook?

    Craig Federighi all the way. He’s got the hair for
    the job. 
    I'd be on Team Hair Force One

    Publically, when he talks off the cuff, it is very clear he's all about the customer, how the product drives them, and enables them. Look Tim Cook has done wonderful things and will continue to do so but he seems to  see customer satisfaction as a number that needs to go up, Craig seems to see customers as people who will surprise him and challenge him to design better based on how they invent news ways of doing things with the tech. 

    Would make a nice Tick-Tock A CEO with vision supported by people who understand how to be efficient because the last CEO was effecient surrounded by vision. Situation reverses each time.

    True on sustained performance, but the odd thing is that there's been almost no weight difference ("Air"?) for years when it was 2.8lbs vs 3lbs. Apparently the solution was to make the Pro start at 14" and 3.5 lbs, I'd still love to see a true Air show up at the 2 lb mark again. ߤ禺wj;♂️ 
    Thank you for pointing out that the Air stopped being "airy" long ago, with almost no weight difference vs MBP until the latest MBPs put on weight.

    Sadly, the second iteration of a "true Air" has come and gone: it was the Macbook 12" Retina. 2 pounds of pure joy. Not only was it my primary work computer for five years, but it was the choice of pretty much every top level exec at the top ten cable channel where I was employed. Sure, our video editors weren't using it, but the idea that you couldn't get "real work done" on the MBA 12" was just ridiculous. My current MBA M2 feels unwieldy and like an anchor compared to the super compact and lightweight MB 12" Retina. I keep hoping they resurrect it with Apple Silicon, but I doubt that will happen. 
    This is the problem with only one line. People want the extremes either super light and portable or enough benchmarking on power to be a desktop replacement. 

    There will be a sweet spot for either in different machines but never a sweet spot both. 

    Sure use what is learned from each to make  sure each is doing its job. 

    Ive was wrong to try and merge them and make the fridge toaster book.

  • Apple Vision Pro hands-on roundup: Weighty with a clunky virtual keyboard, but great overa...

    "when all you do is hammer everything looks like a nail"

    Ask Journalist about new spacial computers they all don't know what it is for and complain about keyboard. 

    Why did Apple not give review units to people who are known for what passes for spacial computing with flat display tech?
    Say Austin Meyers of xPlane or Reviewer for CAD software, 3D modeling gurus. People who do the nuts and bolts activities this thing is build for.

    Sounds like the right way to approach it. You also don’t want a bunch of randoms trying it out just for kicks and potentially braking something. Basically you want serious or just interested parties trying it on. 
    You mean like they do every other Apple product? Going in and trying something is one of the ways you discover a desire to purchase. 

    A supervised demo is fine for a fragile device. But a 25 minute speech means something’s wrong. 

    The whole thing is starting to look convoluted 
    25 min speech? 

    Either you didn’t read the article or you didn’t understand it.

    Apparently you didn’t read the part that clearly reads “SALES PITCH”

    buck up on basic vocab before embarasssing yourself further. 

    Whether spoken word only or with visual aids, a pitch is at its core - a *gasp!* speech. 
    That Part is the Headline - which rarely, if ever, accurately reflects the information presented in the article.
