  • Apple executives say creating Mac Studio was 'overwhelming'

    DavidEsratiDavidEsrati
    This computer would never have made it to daylight if Jony Ive was still at Apple.
    Ports- plenty of them- even in the front? Unbelievable.
    Looks like it can cool itself- and isn't a funky shape that no one knows what to do with- ie Cube or Trash Can Mac Pro.
    Still not upgradeable- no slots- while every PC in this price range can and does do both.
    I'm waiting on one. We'll see what it runs like when it shows up.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud Pro offers over 200 million assets for professionals

    Gee thanks Adobe.
    I used to have an amazing service called Dollar Photo Club- where I paid a buck a piece for each photo.
    Then you bought it- and gave me some credits for my credits- but- made them expire.
    Now- you want to give me "unlimited" access- but- raise my cost $40 a month.
    Can we say monopoly?
    And what happens in my small business- can I get pro- and the rest of my team- not pro?
    Or is it buy one license- all licenses have to be the same?

  • Apple declares 13-inch MacBook Pro from 2012 'obsolete'

    DavidEsratiDavidEsrati
    The last great, user upgradeable Mac.
    Sad.
    No dongles. A good keyboard. Ports galore.
    I'd give anything for the exact same thing- with a USB C port, USB A port, Mag Safe power as well as USB C as an option. I'd be willing to concede the DVD drive- although I'm really starting to wonder about archiving all this 4K video- if someone is going to come out with a new solution....
    Hard drives go bad...

  • Intel takes aim at Apple, instead shoots itself in the dongle

    DavidEsratiDavidEsrati
    I hope it wakes the morons at Apple up.
    My 2020 Mac Book pro barely qualifies as pro.
    A "pro computer" that I need a dongle to hook up to an external projector, monitor or ethernet.
    A pro computer that ditched the brilliant mag safe power cable.
    A pro computer than no longer allows me to stick an SD card in it.
    A pro computer that requires a dongle to connect a USB A jump drive- the industry standard way of walking files.

    And- they gouge me on the price of RAM, Storage by 3 to 10x what everyone else charges.
    With no user replaceable parts- and barely serviceable.

    And that was my Intel machine.
    Now- my M1 MacMini- can't connect to my Drobo- which is a 72 TB paperweight.
    Gee - thanks Apple.

  • Select 2013 and 2014 MacBook Air, Pro models to be declared vintage and obsolete in April

    DavidEsratiDavidEsrati
    I refuse to give up my 2012 MacBook Pro- with a real keyboard- and user replaceable HD and RAM.
    And - a magsafe connector- and a DVD drive- and ethernet- I only need 1 dongle- to do video to a projector...
    Can't beat it.
    Sorry, Apple- what you now call "Pro" is a joke.
