It was widely derided at the time because most people don’t have much experience with design patents. Like many companies, Apple typically files a design patent for their products. This gives them some leverage when going after clone produc

Someone posting “Why is X?” questions, should first have to show that X is happening before we have to argue about the why of it.

And the paid ones are cheap, not a significant source of revenue for Apple.

That’s why there are dozens of their-party apps to provide keyboard or drag methods to snap and size windows. Rectangle, Moom, BetterSnapTool, and others give you different ways to doing window management.

The old scroll direction was tied to pushing the scroll bar button up to move the screen down. “Natural” scrolling ties the movement to the window content and makes much more sense once you get over the old habit. I took me about half a day

By requiring full screen windows that method is a non-started for those of us who don’t use Apple’s full screen. I find that it isolates app from each other too much. I’m almost always working with multiple apps at once.

I think, for now, the answer to that is to plug in power through USB-C if you need more than 2 hours of continuous usage.

I’m curious. What do you find more useful about a tool like that rather than the built-in bookmark manager? i used to do folder-based organization but eventually just started throwing bookmarked into larger buckets of general topics and the

Why would you take it off to have a drink? What is wrong with peeking down? Both seem quite doable in the VP.

It could certainly replace mine if I had one. My husband doesn’t like to watch things on that kind of screen and we have very different tastes in viewing so we are generally watching things separately. Our together time is doing other thing

If the earphones were AirPods you would be able to hear each other talk wiht transparency mode turned on. It doesn’t block external sounds.

Not so much the implementation of mobile but the impact of a new way to interact with information.

As attested by people who have had the Vision Pro demo at WWDC, afterwards, looking at the screen on a laptop feels very limiting and artificial. Your engagement is quite different when you are fully surrounded by an environment and can int

Since you are working within a 3D space, there should be areas where you can shift your gaze that would be the equivalent of that window and are not full brightness. As to having a drink or snack or other activities, the crown control lets

In any given group of people something like this will appeal to some and not to others. From the limited about of information that leaked out, it is pretty clear that most people in Apple didn’t really know much about the device and only ha

Yes, the old grid layout was not good for anything that you didn’t access frequently. It was sometimes hard to find things if you didn’t already know where to look. I agree that the actual settings controls and panel layouts are not as good

It's not in the US, but it seems some people have become socially fearful. I think that there is an artificial sense of risk possibly driving by 24x7 news and social media that prey on people's fears and anxieties.

it does cause problems sometimes when there are embedded scrollable panels (that may not even scroll) where the scrollbars get in the way.

Marco Arment was invited to WWDC as he is north a developer and operates a Mac focused blog. He is frequently very critical of Apple’s tools and actions. I don’t think Apple just invites ’yes men’

For what scenario? Gaming? What about use as a virtual screen? What about social interaction? What about some of the other scenarios that were depicted in the wedc demo?

Non-GPU PCI cards. A lot are I/O for audio and other scenarios.

The Greek athletes were not completely naked. They typically wore twine on their foreskins to keep their phalluses from flopping around. This was nicknamed the “dog tie” - basically “leash”. It was only feasible if you were uncircumcised.

Japan, Korea, and China also have different charging standards within their countries. It is probably a minor annoyance for the manufacturers but other than that, what is the problem? Vehicles can rarely be moved from one regulation zone to

I’m not sure why you are bringing abortion into this. The Carthaginian’s would not consider what they were doing abortion and most modern people would also not consider this related to abortion. Is there some correlation that you wanted to

That is such a well done podcast and give a detailed look at a series of cultures as they grew, prospered, and faded. Fascinating stuff.

In that video, she was wearing AirPods Pro under the headset for private listening. She might have to plug into the USB port for power or bring a second battery pack for longer viewing.
