  • Hands on with visionOS -- using the Apple Vision Pro operating system

    You know, this thing could actually be useful (if it runs Mac apps) or completely useless and stupid (if it doesn't). 

    I wonder which one will happen?

  • What keeps the Mac relevant for Apple, despite iPhone dominance

    darkvaderdarkvader
    I find it hard to believe that the iMac is outselling the mini. 

    It's just a no-brainer that the mini gives you more computing power for less money, and you can have any screen size you want, not just a small 24".

    The only place I'm recommending iMacs for my clients is for front desk locations, and that's just for appearance reasons.  Home user?  Mac mini.  Workstation?  Mac mini or Studio, depending on user requirements.  And absolutely NO Apple monitors, those things are highway robbery.

    I'd rather they do pistols at dawn, with both of them getting a fatal hit.

  • Rumor: All iPhone 15 cameras will be 48 megapixels

    Ugh.  The last thing I care about is the camera.  If I want to take great pictures, I've got a real DSLR with real lenses.  My phone camera is for taking quick snapshots to document work, I don't need high resolution.  Just give me an iPhone 5 camera with no idiotic bulge.

  • macOS Sonoma beta review: Few major updates, but very welcome

    darkvaderdarkvader
    The single most annoying thing they changed was that clicking on the desktop is like hitting function-f11.  I had to fix that immediately (System Settings > Desktop & Dock > Click wallpaper to show desktop items > set to Only in Stage Manager).  And of course everything in System Settings is still completely scrambled, nothing is where it logically should be, same as with Mac OS XIII.  It's a computer, not an iPad, System Preferences worked just fine.

    There's still no apparent way to set an auto power on schedule without using the command line.

    The extra clicks to see your current IP address are still infuriating.

    Sharing is still stupidly under General.

    Getting a system report still requires 3 clicks and a scroll.  What was wrong with a single button in About This Mac?

    At least it doesn't seem slower than Mac OS XIII.  It's still ugly, as every Mac OS X release since 10.6 has been.

    Still no scroll arrows.  I want my scroll arrows back!
