I tend to prefer some of the more 'flat' modern designs in many ways, but I do think people are too binary about the skeuomorphic stuff. They could have modernised the design and still kept some of the useful skeuomorphic cues. I

That Pro is the old design. It's just Apple's usual thing of keeping an old design of a product around to serve some kind of gap they see in their market - it creates a confusing product lineup because this means you have: New Mac

It may eventually go that way - but I believe the Linux version was the first electron version. 1Password started out as a (well regarded) native Mac app, that they then developed a native Windows app for. By the time they came around to Li

Yep, Apple's operations and logistics are second to none in this industry. Watching AMD, NVIDIA, Sony, Microsoft and others struggling so much manufacturing their products, and then having Apple launch: - 2 new Apple Watches - 4 new iP

No. Even if Apple terminates the 'Epic International' account - nothing will happen to existing Unreal Engine games on the store by other developers. The issue is that Epic will lose access to Apple developer tools and will strugg

I hope Agilebits considers adding local vault support. I’m a long time user and even a subscriber, but I don’t actually use the account I pay for, for anything except license to use the software - I still use local vaults. I’m happy with th

They offer fundamentality different experiences so I'm not sure we should be grouping them together as much as we do. It's like saying "It seems like cars are a lot more practical than boats" - but they're intended

The thing is, Apple does allow this sort of thing. Look at apps like Google Play Movies. You can't buy or rent from within the app, so google doesn't get their cut - you can only buy and rent from google play movies on the website

I've really appreciated ghost, been using it pretty much since launch in one way or another. Been really cool to see it develop over the years.

Because it's a standard. You're no longer required to spend a lot of money on Apple's proprietary chargers, anyone can make a good charger. And you can get magsafe-like USB-C chargers. I don't see why, given that option,

It's the same, except it has a built in battery and is rechargeable with a lightning cable (which the port is located on the bottom of the device, so you can't use it whilst charging).

Yeah, Apple taking so long to update their Macs (for instance) isn't a manufacturing issue, it's their own development issues (all of which were brought on themselves).
