  • Intel-based iMac refresh will launch in the next week, leakers claim

    razorpitrazorpit
    I believe it. Even if it’s a minor update engineers still spend design and test hours, they need to recoup those costs some way. This work was probably done in parallel with ASi, not knowing when ASi would be announced. And it gives all the ASi holdouts one last opportunity to purchase an Intel iMac.

    What a revolution! The Microsoft Surface Pro has featured hand writing recognition for many years now, with a tightly integration with Windows and a high success rate. 

    Sometimes, I wonder whether the copiers aren’t working the reverse way. 
    The Newton had it in ‘93. Surface Pro was out before that?

    Whew, glad to see I'm not the only 'hater' on this one.  ;)

    Surprised Apple hasn't already baked something like this in to Mac OS.

    I know I'm going to be the "hater" here but I have to question "makes the iPhone a much more affordable solution than buying a standalone camera". Thirty dollars buys you a decent camera. Eighty dollars buys you a really nice camera.

    I know Apple is trying to push subscription plans for software, but this is basically you leasing a camera. Use this software for 1 year and 1 month and the "value" of it is gone.

    This is inevitable. Post-pandemic, the sooner studios realize that streaming is a viable channel, equal to brick-and-mortar venues, the sooner they will profit. Just to cite one local example, I watch a lot of shows/movies, but even before COVID-19 my theatre attendance had dropped from 1-2× a fortnight to once per year, simply because being around people sucks.
    Agreed - our problem with the theater has never been about sound or screens getting better at home, or cost of soda. It’s that more people are jackasses at the theater, on their phones, etc. 
    That and you can pause the movie to get more popcorn or go to the bathroom.

    Bring on James Bond “No Time To Die” this November.
    I was hoping for Tenet in July!
    If Apple did just one of these big movies per month I’d consider renewing. As the service stands now there is no chance of that happening for our family.
