  • Apple's new 15-inch MacBook Air with M2 processor is 12x faster than Intel's version

    In the days before the announcement, I heard podcast pundits speculate that it might have been priced anywhere from $1500 to $1800. But at a starting price of just $1,299 (and with the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pros at significantly higher price points), the 15-inch MacBook Air is going to be a huge seller for Apple.

    Agree, this could be one of their biggest selling Macs in quite some time.

  • Polestar cars now get full-screen Apple Maps on driver's display

    I'm kind of hoping that Volvo/Polestar have chosen Google/Android temporarily and will move to full Carplay once Apple has it fully developed to serve as a car operating system. Or maybe they'll offer both and you choose one at the time of purchase.

    Thank goodness for Kaspersky! Shame on all of you who baselessly denigrated them. 
    Don't give them credit.  They probably stumbled upon it while they were trying to figure out how their fellow comrades phones were being hacked by the NSA.

    Simple rule: NEVER trust the Russians.

    This is still a RUMOR.  Don't believe anything until Apple announces it. If Apple is going to try and sell it at $3K, it's going to be a failure.   Yes, some people will pay for that, but most won't.  If you don't have enough people buying it, it's going to fail.  You need high enough numbers for developers to make games for it.  Few games to no games, bye, bye!!!  I think it'll have a hard time selling at $500.  First gen product is another wait and see also for many.
    It's fairly obvious that at a $3k price point the device is a field beta with a buy-in. It's not for you or for me, it's for people with money and irrational desires to be first all the time. Which works fine for Apple - they'll get s little income to offset part of the costs and will get invaluable data back from all the beta testers who shelled out the bux. It's not going to "fail" because this is not the final product.
