    OMG, Elf is like the worse movie ever.
    Clearly, not everyone would agree with you. I think it's definitely one of the better seasonal movies. And it has a heart.

  • Apple's Tim Cook takes close seat to Donald Trump at tech summit

    I heard there were suggestions that they should all boycott the meeting. Better to be present to try to persuade, or at least have your voice heard minus the filter of the media and the background noise. Trump may be polar opposites to Cook on many issues, but I'd hope he'd at least listen and possibly move closer to his points of view on issues like security vs privacy.

  • AppleInsider podcast talks scaling back production of iPhone 7, external GPUs, and Nokia back from

    OMFG - I just could not listen to this past the 15 minute mark. It sounded like one of you guys was eating. It's pretty revolting to listen to someone masticating and talking at the same time. Can you imagine sitting down to watch the news and the newsreader is tucking into his lunch live on air?! Don't you care about your listenership? Seems like you really don't. Unbelievable.

    It's bad enough when podcasters can't even be bothered to mute their phones and tablets - thereby making the listener think any audible notifications are from your own phone. But this just takes the biscuit!

    I don't think I'll be listening any more.

  • Reported 2016 MacBook Pro graphics issues likely caused by third-party software [u]

    Other reports claim it may be related to File Vault 2. Couple that with your own mention of the Photos app, I'm not sure there's a strong enough case to be made (yet) to say it's "likely third party software" at fault.

    It does seem troubling that such an issue could strike these new models so soon after release, and especially after similar graphics problems had impacted some MBP 2011-13 models.

    One wonders just how much emphasis goes on Q and A these days. Perhaps they need to spend a bit more time and money on that. Otherwise it's going to cause damage to Apple's reputation at a time when patience is already wearing thin with many pro users.



    "In a serious case chronicled by a MacRumorsforum member Jan Becker, a new 15-inch MacBook Pro configured with an optional AMD Radeon Pro 460 GPU encountered trouble and ultimately crashed while transcoding video in Adobe Premiere Pro. Becker consequently took the machine into an Apple store for replacement."

    "The incident did not go unnoticed by Apple. Becker said he received a call from the company's headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., where a team of engineers asked him to help replicate the glitch over the phone and requested access to the affected laptop for further investigation."


    ^^^

    All part of that "Q and A" you thought smart to bring up. 

    Apple's is from cradle to grave. Good on them. 


    After the fact.
