  • Google snubs Apple TV users with Nest login migrations

    Maybe because Apple users do not want to touch any Google product with a 50 foot pole.

  • Bob Iger: Disney and Apple likely to have merged if Steve Jobs was alive

    I just do not see this, Steve was such a fan of keeping the company focused. Disney has its fingers in to many pies for Steve.

    I was a user of the Mac IIfx, $9,000 and $12,000, and at the time it was an incredible machine. I think a high end RasterOps video card at the time was between $6,000 and $10,000. This is what was needed to work on complex Photoshop images at a decent pace. That is what pro meant back then no one dreamed of the audio and video editing of today. Hey Apple that is one killer piece of hardware.

    I bought a Mac 128 and ImageWriter in my last year of high school. I had no complaints at all, it got me through English that year and was a great help with many assignments. It was a vast improvement over the VIC 20s and Commodore 64s my friends had and the Commodore Pets my school had. Or the Unisys ICONs that they got before I left school, you can look that one up on Wikipedia.

    I am no Mac Mini enthusiast or buyer, but I can relate to the user’s arguments of a reasonably cost effective Mac for those who aren’t seeking portability and who already own a monitor, keyboard etc. For Apple to slap them with such high prices is not going to go well. There should’ve been a well configured option for $499, then charge whatever  for the pro. They sure know how to pull off such options for the iPad. 
    You are right but I am hoping that this was the plan all along. If Apple switches to A series chips for some to their macs next hear or the year after I think this leaves room for one more mac. Perhaps a "Mac Nano", in a form factor of an enlarged Apple TV with a couple of USB-C ports an HDMI port and thats it. Perhaps two storage options and a price range of $299 - $399. This would totally be a consumer machine. I could see dozens of uses for tiny macs.
