  • Steve Jobs' mega yacht bashed a billionaire's boat in Italy

    My guess is the boat captain was a little busy getting a happy ending somewhere not in the wheelhouse.

  • Epic Games & Spotify unsurprisingly unhappy with Apple's latest DMA update

    I wish Apple would/could take a cue from diners and post a sign on their App Store proclaiming their right to refuse service to anyone.  

    Epic and Spotify should be permanently banned from ever being allowed in the App Store.  They are digital Karens and I'm just fed-up with them.

    What would be the 24" - 27" monitor of choice to pair this with these days? Anything out there remotely as good as an iMac display but less expensive than a Studio monitor?
    Back in the spring when I realized there would be no new Macs at WWDC, I bought a refurbished m2 pro Mac mini to replace my 27 inch iMac. 

    I initially bought a Dell monitor to go with it, thinking it was a great deal relative to the Apple studio display. I was horrified by it. It looked so much worse than my iMac when I saw them side by side. I sent back the Dell and shelled out the money for the Apple. The web cam is as poor as reviews say, but the most important thing by far is the display quality. 

    Maybe Apple will make a less expensive 24 inch display….
    It's not necessarily that the Studio Display is expensive, it's that the competition is all low-price junk.  If the LG 5K uses the similar display, but everything else about it is cheap quality garbage and people think Apple should drop their quality to compete.  

    I've always used iMacs, but since Apple has abandoned the 27" display, and what will replace it now has me considering a Mac Studio.  That means buying a display.  The Studio Display (imho) is still the best display on the market and expensive as it is, it will be a better investment than anything the competition has.

    It doesn't really surprise me.  There is so much empty space in the chassis due to the Intel component sizes.  I guess maybe it was just cheaper (for the time being) to use the current design.  

    If they do shrink it down to the size of an ATV footprint, that means it could essentially be mounted on the back of an external monitor and practically forgotten about.  It would be interesting to see what they do.

  • Apple removes Control-click option for skipping Gatekeeper in macOS Sequoia

    The whining from a certain group is getting old.  If this bothers you, go to Linux or Windows.  There are choices.  Most users of MacOS are regular users, not power users.  The majority of users I would think would support this. 

    Just look at the mess that happens with the wild-west that is Windows.  If that is what bakes your noodle, go right ahead to that yard.
