'Love Notes to Newton' is documentary about the before-its-time '90s Apple product
Everything prior to Newton OS 2.0 was meh. MessagePad 130 with OS 2.0 was good, but the device was huge compared to competition. MessagePad 2000 was great, handwriting recognition was so much better, but again the thing was huge in size. Stock eMate 300 was slow, but with memory upgrade speed improved dramatically, but the thing was enormous. Meanwhile PalmPilot was small, but the OS was limited.
The biggest fault of Newton introduction was that they focussed so heavily on handwriting recognition. If they just build in a great on screen keyboard the platform would have had better success. But the onscreen keyboard of the OS lay on top of the interface, hampering the view of the software. Funny thing is you could purchase Grafitti character input for the Newton OS, and that worked great. -

Apple to launch entry level 13.3-inch MacBook with Retina display in Q2, report says
With the current 12" MacBook being more "Air" than the 13" MacBook Air, what are they going to name this new 13" MacBook? The "Air" naming scheme has already been dropped for the iPad, so MacBook will follow suit.
I think they are simply going to drop the price of the current 12" MacBook to entry level price -- probably $1099 for base model 128GB MacBook -- and then place this new 13" MacBook at the current 12" MacBook price. That would make much more sense.
Knowing Apple, the new 13" MacBook will only get two USB-C ports -- one of which will be to charge -- no SD and no thunderbolt. It will cost $1299 for the 256GB model and will replace the entry level MacBook Pro (the one without Touch Bar).
