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

    greg.edwards69greg.edwards69
    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.

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

    Apparently there are some issues with Adobe's memory management with apple silicon. If this is resolved, then I guess Apple might be correct!
    Adobe.  *sigh*.  They go their own way on lots of things - they also got caught flatfooted on the switch to Intel.  That part where Jobs reminded everyone that they'd been telling devs to use Xcode for years, so now you can flip a switch on the compiler?  Yeah, Adobe was rolling their own and spent the better part of a year before they had PS native on Intel.  For contrast, watch this ( skip to the portion from 11:00 - 16:00)

    Yes. And the frustrating thing is, that so many "creatives" like myself use Adobe software almost all day, every day, and many of us choose MacOS over Windows to run it on. I would even go as far as to suggest that Adobe users are the core user base of Macbook Pros.

    Considering how close Apple and Adobe's relationship has been over the years (pretty much since the invention of postscript), and they were at the M1 launch (IIRC) espousing how easy it was to transition software to Apple Silicon AND their own system requirements recommend at least 16GB ram for most of the creative suite. There is no sense in releasing a Macbook with the Pro moniker with only 8GB ram.
