People who are upset about the scrolling -- are you mostly upset because of how it feels on desktop & ipad or do you also hate the behavior on phones? 

It's not as bad on phones, but i still prefer without it. It's form over function. Make the function as smooth as possible and then make it as pretty as you can without affecting function. I only ever read AI on desktop, though.

Interesting board!   I can see Apple charging $1500 for this card.   

LOL. Good one.  However, if they did why wouldn't you just buy from AMD?

Because the stock model won't come with Mac firmware and as a result you won't have a boot screen unless you flash the card or you keep the card that comes with the Mac Pro and use it when you need boot options. Also, I don't think you can use FileVault without a card running Mac firmware.

Something to look forward to when I eventually move to Catalina. Can someone explain why ad blockers need permissions to "read sensitive information from webpages including passwords, phone numbers and credit cards"? I have Ghostery which comes in two parts, the content blocker which doesn't require that permission and effectively blocks some ads, but not as many as adblock (which requires those permissions) and the UI component which does request those permissions. So what's the UI extension doing it needs that for? It doesn't sound like it's just UI. It would be nice if Apple could grant access to page data but not form data so passwords/payment info were safe!

If this is true is it going to replace the 8 and if not why would someone purchase that for $50 more with a 2 year old CPU? Are they just going to reduce the base storage?

A motorcycle helmet with a heads up display please.  

That would be awesome. Existing bluetooth systems are a bit clunky and I don't like having the controls protruding on the side, it doesn't feel safe. But I just can't see an 'Apple Helmet' being released… it seems a bit niche.
