  • Apple rolls out minor updates to iWork apps

    iWorks is a joke. Just another hobby of Apple to keep people in the ecosystem. Only maintenance updates, no cross platform compatibility, zero innovation. 
    What do you mean, "no cross platform compatibility"? You can open and save to Word/Excel/PPT formats from their respective counterparts. I haven't needed Office for anything, ever. And how does it "keep people" when there's nothing forcing you to use it at all?

  • Beware of fake CleanMyMac installers that will infect your Mac

    CleanMyMac X is not malware. It’s a nicely designed set of useful tools, made by a legitimate software company in Ukraine. I’m an expert Mac user and find uses for CMMX regularly.

    Looking forward to gen 3 or 4. Samsung finally showed of a genuinely great transparent LED display just recently. Sony or Samsung will boil that down to sunglasses size before too long. No need for camera footage of the world around you when you can just see it through a lense. Lighter device, better battery, less bulk, a form factor that gets out of the way, definitely looking forward to that. 
    That's not how this stuff works. Transparent AR glasses use tiny micro OLED displays that project light into waveguides that are integrated into the lenses to refract light back into your eye while you look off into the distance. You can't just put a transparent display like what Samsung and LG demoed at CES in front of your eyes, as you can't focus on a plane that close up and especially not while also focusing on things in the distance.

    Yawn NBD.      

    Call it what it is a paid beta program the Vision Pro will be from finished product, but Apple needs to see how people will actually use it,  shake out the bugs, and start the Fanboys running their mouths about it.    Also Apple need to workout how they will sell it in the future to the masses especially in places that aren't close to Apple stores.  Apple needs developer to get onboard and start writing apps for the Vision Pro and they need them to test with.   This will also generate some funding because the R&D expense on this thing must be outrageous.   If Apple called this an Early Adopters program or similar name they would sell as many but putting it out as a 1.0 will get people with deep pockets to hop on board.   

    My guess is the actual Vision Pro version ready for the masses will come out in about three years. 
    Every. Single. Time.

    I'm still bewildered these weren't ready for the M3 iMac.
