  • Next iPad may look more like an iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard support

    FaceID makes sense on laptops and phones. Touch ID is more natural on tablets because they are being handled by the edges when picked up. Also it’s hard to figure out the device’s orientation in the dark.  Much easier to feel for the touchID button. 

    Apple is all about usability, but here methinks they have misstepped. No one’s infallible, of course, but a smarter person/organization makes a U turn when the indications say so!

  • Tim Cook's leadership style has 'reshaped how Apple staff work and think'

    AppleInsider said: Also unlike Jobs, who thought Apple's cash was best directed toward research and development, Cook is much more willing to return cash to investors.

    For me, this is something, I would like to be opposite around.
    “Don’t court the bankers, let them court you” was the maxim that Steve largely operated under. If you are the leader Wall St. will chase you. After he took over, Cook has subtly shifted his priorities away from appeasing Wall St. and towards a single minded drive for excellence. 

    Unlike Jobs, who led from the front, Cook is managing from the back. Two different styles for different times. Personally, I would like to see a bit more Jobs, and I’m likely not the only one. 

    I never thought (and still don’t) that you can manage your way to great heights in innovation. So while I’m glad to see Apple continue to do well under Cook I hope he and Apple’s board are working hard to produce a winning third act.

  • What Apple's Nano-Texture is, and what it brings to Apple's new 27-inch iMac

    I wonder if two of these can be ganged together in a dual screen setup. With a high end display like this, a dual headed setup will be a must for some users.
