  • A lament for the Touch Bar

    I’ll miss the Touch Bar. I totally understand why it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I wish it could remain as an optional extra for the small number of people who love it like me. 

    As others have said, the slider controls for volume, brightness and scrubbers are what I use most often, but I also like the share button to quickly airdrop, and the ‘OK’ ‘Cancel’ etc for dialog boxes - that’s the only one I’ve got some muscle memory for, probably because it’s one of the few features that’s system wide. 

    Plus I still smile at the ‘Unlock With Touch ID’ animation as it points me to the touch key; it reminds me of the magic when I held the first iPhone and saw that (then) futuristic ‘Swipe to Unlock’ animation. Beautiful. 

    Great article. It wasn’t all your fault Touch Bar! Now I guess it’s back to hammering the old ‘volume up’ and ‘volume down’ keys. 
    I agree. I miss the Touch Bar. Apparently we are in the minority.

    I loved the Touch Bare, and found it much more intuitive than the F keys. Each app would show me custom commands, which was brilliant. I used it all the time. Sad to see it go.

  • Apple doles out fourth visionOS beta to developers

    rmusikantowrmusikantow
    I am interested  in whether this device will succeed or flop. It is wonderful high tech, but will only be as good as the software  and video that supports it. I see it, for me, mainly as an entertainment device. I don't see myself working on my computer wearing this device. Not seeing the added value.

  • Apple expands test driver team for its 'Apple Car' autonomous vehicle project

    I used to be excited about driverless vehicles, but now I think it is way off in the future.
