  • How to speed up working on your Mac by making windows snap into position

    Magnet is far superior to Moom. It has more choices for window sizes and locations. It also has keyboard shortcuts which, as we all know, are faster. I use it all day long. Moom would be a painful step backwards. I suspect Gallagher hasn't used Magnet. If he had, he wouldn't say Moom is better.

  • Jobs biographer slams Apple design and missed TV opportunity

    Walter Isaacson and Steve Wozniak should get together and form the "Look At Me! I Have Stupid Things To Say About Apple" club.

  • Adobe Fresco painting app for iPad boasts accurate AI-powered brushes

    So obviously this is a reaction to Procreate on the iPad. Adobe rarely moves first, they usually react. But the examples they are showing don't look all that captivating, do they?
    I'm trying to understand why this is: 1-only an ipad app, 2-has taken so long, 3-when they say 'professional level' does it support print resolutions or is this for on-screen only art production/production flows? I know a few illustrators who have done kid books on iPads. But for me, Photoshop still allows for the best paths in the process of getting work to art directors, making changes and dealing with trim size changes ETC. So is Fresco a 'doodle' app and perhaps for on-screen only art or not?

      BTW I draw for a living, using Photoshop every day for illustrations for books and animation dev.

    "Rarely moves first, they usually react." Where have I seen this method before? I think it was a very big company. Maybe Adobe is on to something. Why only iPad? Probably same reason as Procreate--something to do with the Apple Pencil. It says it will export PDFs and work with other Adobe apps. It looks like a good addition to Creative Cloud.

    I wonder if it will follow the current Adobe CC model: Release full of bugs, charge expensive subscription, ignore bug reports, add feature-bloat, ignore bug reports, shove Adobe Stock down users' throats, update with same old bugs and add NEW bugs, profit!
    It says "FREE" in the article!

  • Seven new MacBook & MacBook Pro models on the way

    I love the Touch Bar. If they can improve it, fine, but don't take it away. I have no problem with the virtual Esc key. It works even when you hit to the side of it. Having a top row that has keys germane to the app your working with is a huge step forward. If the compainers always got their way, we would still be using manual typewriters.
