Tim Cook needs to do the right thing and hold a VP accountable for this, as well as for the thermal throttling and T2 bugs, flex cable failure, iPad chassis deformation, AirPower vaporware, etc. Phil Schiller? Dan Riccio? John Ternus? Sound

macOS/iCloud keychain does the job for me, but agreed that that user experience can be much better. If not a Safari password that's not setup for autofill, opening Keychain access, searching for the right credential, then authenti

I agree. Bringing back the old design would immediately solve a lot of problems, but Apple won't do that. Even with a new redesign, I assume the system will still be designed to accommodate standard-sized GPUs and other add-in cards, u

What are the chances the new Mac Pro will simply be a smaller, higher-density form factor of the cheese grater Mac Pro? Also glad to hear the Mac Mini's not being killed off.

Lately, I've been thinking about how important or relevant industrial design is to something like the Mac Pro. Had Apple continued to use a tower form factor with yearly revisions, would we even be having this conversation? Faster CPUs

If Santa Cruz had the will and might, what would stop it from becoming "New San Francisco"? Seems to me that creating a competing city is easier and quicker than reforming one.

While everyone's heard the minimum wage-automation argument many times over, wasn't POS kiosks the inevitable next step regardless of wages? Sheetz and Wawa have been doing this for decades in the Northeast US, so why hasn't

Companies like them and Deloitte still offer traditional auditing and accounting services, but their cash cow is mostly in IT contracting for government and Fortune 500-type companies.

I think it's great because it exemplifies the spirit of the Web, like back in the Geocities days. He probably wrote the site himself and really has nothing to sell or market. His name, the domain, his work, and his CV are all that&#x27

Loved the photo's caption of the "laptop brigade", lol. If there's a point where a significant portion of a community become knowledge workers, then it would be advantageous for local coffee shops to adapt to a co-workin

A judicious combination of solitude and social interaction is key. I've long had to battle the problem of leaving social events early because it was just too easy to stick around until something was over, only then feeling guilty after

I'm curious if there's any effort underway to refine Ubuntu's desktop UI. It's a great distro for my needs, but am always underwhelmed by the UI and how large all the buttons and elements are, plus it's use of earth

Thanks so much for this. I finished your book over the weekend and loved how clear and concise the writing was. Discover Meteor was difficult to follow as a beginner but am more confident that I can follow along now. Thanks again!

I'm with you. I'm using a Logitech TrackMan Wheel, and though it operates at a low resolution, is still a very efficient means of moving the mouse across high resolution/multi-screen setups. Microsoft must have something agai

A disappointing update, but would still consider it to replace my mid 2010 Core2Duo mini if the Thunderbolt ports supported Multistream Transport (MST) so I could daisychain 3 x Dell U2415 19x12 displays.

Anyone have a clue on the attack vector? A reddit post said that the presence of the "/Library/Application Support/JavaW" indicates an infected system. Flash? Java?

Are we to assume that with this update, we can finally get rid of the old "Google Voice" app to do text messaging and playback voicemail? For my use case, I ditched my iPhone 4S last year and got a Retina iPad mini with a prepaid

What Microsoft should do is bring more artistic people into the Surface team, perhaps engineers with artistic abilities, and by doing exactly what they did for Gabe: study how artists work. The end result is a much better product without th
