  • Apple upgrades 2013 Mac Pros with more cores & faster GPUs

    How about a MacBook Pro with a SIM card, HDMI, SD, USB A and C? That'll be a perfect all around Pro device. You can make USB-C only MacBooks, but pros need to be flexible and not have to twiddle in their bags looking for dongles and external drives.

    The USB-A part of your complaint is silly.  If you have USB-A devices, you buy a $5 adaptor and stick it on the end of your USB-A cable and never think about it again.  At least that's what I did.  For example, I have a USB thumb drive on my keyboard; since I got my MacBook Pro it's become a USB-A thumb drive thanks to a tiny adaptor.  Having legacy USB-A slots on brand new PowerBooks would be a mistake.
    You seem to not understand the meaning of the word "legacy". Apple's latest iPhones, iPads, and their own headsets, ALL come in USB A.
    Professionals who have to work in many different environments, not just at their desk, need the flexibility.

    Cool. They changed the size of the screen. Remember when Apple events used to be exciting?
    Sub 10 comment poster strikes again.

    AppleInsider can we please have stricter rules for new posters? I'm getting sick of 'new' posters coming here and every single one of their posts are negative crap. New posters should be screened and if they are only posting negative, then their account should be banned.
    AI I totally disagree with the comment above. Newcomers have valid opinions, this forum should never be purely for Apple zealots.

  • Apple exposes how it teaches new languages to Siri, staying ahead of competition

    "[Siri] staying ahead of competition" sounds a little far fetched. I would rather have Siri be effective with fewer languages than suck at all of them. I cringe at how much worse Siri must be with some of the lesser used languages.

  • Steve Jobs initially blasted Genius Bars at Apple stores, says former retail head

    Jobs always shot down ideas so they can return stronger and clearer than they were.
