There’s still a need for something in between Apple’s Mac mini and Mac Pro. That is not an iMac. Professionals, like me, that are professional consumers, or prosumers, still need something more than the Mac mini and very much less than the Mac Pro.
The new Mac Pro went on order last Tue and shipped out today, and yeshk it’s a beast !!! They sure engineered the crap outta the thing. It’s a marvel of engineering prowess and excellence. Both the Mac Pro and the Pro Display too.
I had been waiting a long long time for the 2018 Mac mini refresh. When it finally did arrive, it didn’t go as smooth as it should have. In spite of that, I still would have to do it again because, well…. its still an Apple. Although I’d change some things, because it was quite a mess. Here’s my saga…
There have been many rumors about Apple shipping an iPhone with a fingerprint sensor under the display, and they are missing some big things that cause the whole idea to make NO sense.
Adding up to – That’s just not how Apple does things. And these rumors seem like more proof that some reporters and analysts still do not understand how Apple works.

This article discusses the requirements I have for a WordPress theme. I’ll be using this list to compare WordPress themes to determine which one I will use for my WordPress sites, including this blog and my personal web site KennethAdams.com.

Another Android vulnerability has been found and fixed, but Google, Samsung and others have no idea how many Android customers are still vulnerable. And it’s the unknowns about Android security that make using Android so very scary.
Color me surprised !!! Google’s Stadia streaming gaming platform is running into some troubles.
Wouldn’t be the first time that Google has stumbled with products old and new. They kinda have a history of shipping half baked products. Basically their product strategy seems to be to throw stuff on the wall and see if it sticks. Google’s Stadia will be in some good, and some bad company. Can anyone say Motorola acquisition ?

Not as bad as the HKmap.live app embarrassment. But it is in the same knee jerky, dumb assery, short sighted, premature moves, ill informed department.
Samsung has been havin’ a time of it !!! What with the colossal, calamitous, jaw dropping, really just awe inspiring disaster that has been the Samsung Galaxy Fold.
Boy, yikes…. there was the epic fail of a launch back in April. Then the relaunch in Sept. and the “it’s all good now” but full of warnings to, like, not use it like normal stuff, or ELSE !! Then the, awe so sad, still doesn’t work – that immediately followed. Well, at least Samsung doesn’t let that keep them down.
Did Apple hold a large internal meeting for 1,000+ employees on Apple’s plans for Augmented Reality (AR) headsets and glasses ? Nope. I’ve worked at Apple, and Apple just doesn’t work like that.
According to a Nov 11, 2019 MacRumors report titled Apple Said to Release AR Headset With 3D Scanning in 2022, Followed by Sleeker Glasses in 2023 on a story in The Information:

I’ve been writing about technology longer than anyone rational would wish to admit – since high school, which was, sadly, well before the Internet. I’ve written as a paid professional writer, and much more often, just because I was driven to. And I started this blog back in 2012 to have a place to vent ideas.
