  • Play more Windows games on the Mac with the new CrossOver 24

    I asked them, and here's their answer:

    "I believe the price is 24% off today (not $24.00).  I believe the promo code for the deal is:   WineNine      If you go to our website:  www.codeweavers.com/store  THEN enter the promo code in the promo code box and <click> on the arrow, you will see the discount applied before purchase.  "

  • New MacBook Air predicted to have 'marginally faster' Apple Silicon M2 processor

    The new MBAir is unlikely to have more or different ports than its predecessor, which is not enough for me. I hope that a DGRule hub (https://www.dgruletech.com/) will be made for it. I have one for my 2020 Intel MBAir, and it’s great. (I’m only a happy customer of theirs with no financial interest.)

  • Leaked Apple Silicon roadmap hints at new Mac Pro, MacBook Air

    While the question of where and by whom something’s made (slave labor or somesuch) isn’t inconsequential, it seems to me the more interesting news here is not politics or human rights, but that Apple can create machines which work better - better than last generation, better than the competition. If they’re now manufacturing that in “bad” places, they can do that in good places as well, and, with enough pressure, will do so. Political correctness has its place, but that, too, can become fanatic overkill, with unintended consequences.

    And AAPL after hour trading drops over 1%. What kind of WS bullshit is that?
    As always, Wall Street doesn’t care about what you did today, it’s about what it thinks you will do in the future. And the Covid-19 delta variant has thrown a monkey wrench into the financial crystal ball, all because 50% of the population are dumb, ignorant morons. There’s also a study out that reveals 1-in-5 believe the vaccines contain microchips. That means 20% of the population are certified idiots.
    Hey hotshot,  you do know that these “vaccines” are experimental and rushed out to the public with no data on long term side effects.   Do you think 50% of the population are morons because they are concerned about such things?  They dare to question about rushing to use such things instead of not even thinking about it?  That makes them morons??  2 of these so called vaccines are not even real vaccines.  There are a number of doctors who have gone public about their concerns and what they have seen going on.  I guess they are morons too?   Sadly,  there is however data on bad reactions and lingering problems after getting these vaccines.





    Aside from being clearly OT, your post simply spreads ignorant misinformation, half-truths and untruths. This isn’t the place to go into detail, but it’s worth noting that over 90% of covid patients in the hospital, some of whom die, weren't vaccinated.

    What are you people carping about? Help, help, the sky is falling!!! AAPL’s down 2.3% today!!!

    C’mon, get a grip. Today's “shocking” closing price is 11% higher than one month ago. Apple just reported record earnings. You all believe Apple’s a bad investment, and you’re ready to cash out before Apple goes down in flames? I hope you do, so I can buy some more at an even more favorable price.
