  • How to take a screenshot on a Mac - the comprehensive guide

    Having to press to 4 and four buttons for a screenshot is excessive when you're using this feature often. I suggest changing it to Command-3 and Command-4 for saving the desktop and window, respectively, to the desktop. It's an easy edit in Sys Prefs » Keyboard pane » Shortcuts tab.


    but that is how i switch tabs in safari (command+1 or 2 or 3 or 4 etc)

    I use Cmd-Shift-] and Cmd-Shift-[ for that

  • The story of the iMac is the story of Apple

    You remember that it had no removable media at all.
    It came with 2 (12Mbit/s) USB ports, which people used for their USB memory sticks.

  • Apple now responsible for 2.4 million US jobs

    it's clear the vast majority of developers make little to nothing for their trouble.
    Not all developers need to be paid by Apple/Google/App Store Owners directly. There are banking Apps, ride sharing apps, food delivery apps etc. The developers of those apps would be paid by the companies who asked them to develop even though they are "free" in the App/Play stores.
    Good point. Which would also make the 1.9M figure substantially higher, since Apple can only count the registered developers, not the dev work that's outsourced.

  • Apple Watch vs Fitbit Versa: which fitness tracker watch is right for you?


    In two years Garmin will no longer make smart watches. And most likely shopping their IP to be bought out or go bankrupt. 2018 Net Income: - $694 million. It's imploding.
    Hmm, awkward post. When I look at their ticker I see they went up from $19 in Dec '08 to $79 now. Their watch lineup is more populair than ever. They are the #1 in the world for sport devices. Expanding their product line, expanding their IP portfolio (Dynastream!)

    After 30 years, not 'imploding'.

  • Samsung removes ads mocking Apple after removing headphone jack

    Maybe Apple should make a commercial about people mocking other companies and then end up doing the thing themselves that the mocked the other company for.

    But......I know Apple is bigger person and they would never do that. They move forward and never look back because they know they have nothing to worry about. 
    With 8 people fully agreeing on you there, this article is written by a 'not so bigger person'.
