  • Apple Maps still calls it the Gulf of Mexico, and politicians are upset

    It's worth mentioning that Mexico has more miles along the coast with 1,743 miles compared with 1,680 miles for the USA.

  • Apple Notes in iOS 18 looks to up the ante with Microsoft OneNote

    If Apple Notes is to truly compete with OneNote, then it needs to be cross-platform. I use a Windows PC at work, and as such, use OneNote for work-related notes. In a way, it's useful that it is separate from my personal notes, but it would be useful if I had direct access to my Apple Notes within Windows. Or at least update the cloud web browser version to bring feature parity with the native mac/ios versions as it's currently missing crucial features.

  • Masimo CEO: Apple users are better off without Apple Watch pulse oximetry

    When my wife was very poorly after having Covid, the GP gave her an oximeter and told her to use it several times a day, log the results and if it goes below 95%, call emergency services or go straight to A&E.

    She didn't have to continually measure nor did she have to wear it overnight. 

    As such, I would guess for most people with these types of health problems that need occasional monitoring, the Apple Watch oximeter is just fine. If you have a health problem that needs continual monitoring, then obviously an Apple Watch isn't up to the task, and nor is an off-the-shelf oximeter. You'll probably be in hospital.

  • Apple insists 8GB unified memory equals 16GB regular RAM

    Regular people do not load 40GB of RAW picture(s) image on their laptop or desktop.
    Regular people do not compile application and test complex enterprise software.
    Then those people don't need a Macbook PRO. A lesser specced Air would be more than ample.

    Why the professional people complain about RAM size? Either your company willing to pay what they need or your own business can paid off higher RAM upgrade.
    It is business expenses.

    If regular people think they need more RAM then they still stuck on old windows experience.
    I disagree. Not every "professional" person can justify and write off the cost. I have a work-issued PC in the office for my job as a graphic designer. But I still want a high enough spec machine for my own work outside of my job - and I just happen to prefer mac rather than windows for my personal stuff.

    There's plenty of amateur photographers and other creatives who like using Macs who do process loads of raw images on a regular basis (actually, I do this too)

    Or there's the army of video bloggers and youtubers who regularly process ultra-HD footage as a hobby.

    If I'm going to be plonking down a substantial amount of money for my hobby and personal work, I'd rather future-proof it by getting more RAM than the base model so it will last me at least the next 5-7 years.
