  • Apple TV+ review: 'The Mosquito Coast' a slog that wastes a strong cast

    Also, I think it’s great they didn’t turn the show in to an iPhone commercial. I don’t think that should be a requirement. As a plus it will not give away the bad guys

    Two episodes in I think you can only judge if a show is watchable or not. Too early to say if the show is good, but it’s holding my interest so far. The first episode was great. The second episode felt as if nothing notable happened, but I’ll reserve my judgement. The car scene with the militia wasn’t to show suspense over survival. Of course they will survive. They were showing how coordinated Allie and Margot were in a tense situation. That was the best scene in the episode.

    Was on line at 8:00am (EST) as noted and couldn’t  connect until 8:15am. By then the May deliveries were gone - now into late June. I guess when you live in Canada you don’t count. I am very disappointed Mr. Cook. 
    I'm in Canada as well (Vancouver) and was able to finalize my order by around 5:02am PST so don't blame Apple or being in Canada. 
    In the US and was able to complete the order in the first 5 minutes and got a June delivery. Supplies are limited.

  • A 24-inch 4K monitor & Mac mini is a good option versus the Apple Silicon iMac

    InspiredCodeInspiredCode
    No it is not. Monitor in 24 inch size is way too small and it is ill idea of someone who does not understand principles of human vision. It is the same as marketing foolishness from years ago about 32 millions of colors while human eye can recognize about 300,000. Selling on technical specs does not pay off.

    If you really want to squeeze more information on screen that is expressed with 4K resolutions then you need minimum 27 inch monitor or better: 32 inch monitor. Tiny fonts do not work when you have to start using eyeglasses to see them. 24 inch monitor is for 1080/HD resolutions and it is old standard at this point, but popular with many applications including some office work.
    That DPI might be fine for video games, but I want a high DPI screen for work. A 32” screen would be great, but that should be at least 6K. A 1080p 24” screen would be a pixelated mess. There should be a minimum of 4 pixels per point. The PC market only really builds gaming screens.

    All of these displays are so ugly. I’ve tried to pull the trigger on one for my MBP, but I can’t do it. I don’t want to support poor design.
