  • Veteran designer Christopher Stringer leaves Apple after 21 years

    Could have been working on the Mac Pro design team and just got bored doing nothing for 3 years.

  • Editorial: The future of Apple's Macintosh

    I know I am in the minority, my business benefits from the most modern computer components so the iMac, being a laptop mounted behind a beautiful screen does not fit my needs. Its hard for me to justify buying a new monitor every 3 years, more memory is helpful and we have had soo many heat related issues with the iMac over the years. Not the typical user I am sure, but I would love a Mac that has more flexibility.  

    Having built a Hackintosh, just to compare the MacOS and windows on the exact same hardware, I can say the MacOS is far more responsive and runs incredibly on modern hardware. Now that the latest graphic drivers for some cards won't be updated I am afraid the Hackintosh is dead, not that I would recommend it for anyone doing work that there jobs depend on. 

    I would like a option for full blown desktop. Aesthetic tastes aside, Apple was the company that displayed the internals of the hardware with the first iMac.. It would be great for a portion of the community if they built, allowed, or licensed hardware/software so that we can have some options.

  • Apple investigating hide-able, attachable Apple Pencil storage loops

    The new Mac Pro!

    Seriously though, I wish the Apple pencil was ubiquitous.  Its too good of product to be just used in a limited manner. My favorite Apple product in years, maybe they are waiting on the second generation to fully integrate it. 

    Hopefully once Apple moves into the spaceships the product teams will work more closely with each other. The best job at Apple is being the Mac Pro team... had the last three years off.

  • Microsoft claims Windows licensing gains are chipping into Apple's 'premium' computer mark...

    The Surface Studio looks like such an amazing design, first time I have been tempted to purchase an all-in-one desktop since my iMac debacle(s). Too bad it runs Windows. Hoping the competition will make Apple rethink what they are doing.
