  • Apple may be working on two new Studio Display models

    One of those suspected monitors may in fact be a new iMac model.

  • PNY Elite-X Type-C Drive review: Small size, huge convenience

    The Elite-X Type-C is available in 64GB, 128GB, and 256 GB capacities, with the 64GB tested for review purposes. 


    It's an almost dangerously small USB-C drive, one as thin as someone's pinky finger. Still, it is useful for sharing files across your and others' iPads and Macs. 

    "Dangerously small" is right - who can exist with less than a terabyte these days? :wink:

  • Apple stock hits new record high after Apple Intelligence reveals

    The stock bounce was a given when Federighi donned his hair helmet and led a parachute drop out of the Phil Shiller piloted Apple plane, best intro to WWDC ever.
    As much as I am tempted to deem your statement frivolous, I have watched the stock market long enough to know that a company's stock price is affected no matter how ridiculous the idea.

    Hopefully more investors will look at AAPL as still being undervalued.

  • Tiled window management comes to macOS Sequoia, but it's hidden

    I'm starting to feel unsettled by how many Windows idioms are being translated to the Mac. First the ability to resize a window from any edge (which means you can no longer be confident that your intention to drag a window will be respected), and now this window-snapping feature - which, thankfully, requires a modifier key to activate.

    The historical advantage of the Mac is that it has eschewed the gimmicky features that seem cool or useful in favour of the provably better process that makes it harder for a user to do something damaging (an old example: making sure that the target of a copy operation has enough space to hold the files before starting to write them). I don't think the same forethought and diligence is being practised these days.

  • How to adjust the flashlight's focus and beam shape in iOS 18

    I am disappointed that one cannot set it to "lightsaber" - but to be serious, this seems like a feature added because it was possible rather than useful. I can see some scenarios where it will help, but the added complexity cost is much greater than the benefit.
