Allow me to be crude for a second: half the people in software are likely autistic so I'm not surprised they struggle with building or maintaining relationships.

The science publication complex is incredibly problematic.

Great perspective that I wouldn't have considered. Thanks for sharing!

Logic Pro for Mac is regarded very well. When they make a focused effort in professional software, Apple can deliver.

Pixelmator as a product is literally what Apple would have built anyway if they made an attempt. The difference here is how aligned the original team is with their acquirer...down to the corner radius on every button. With other products li

Best photo editing tool out there for most people. Incredible interface design and integration with the OS. And such a natural fit of acquirer. This makes total sense and I'm excited to see what comes out of this!

This isn't directed at you. I just happened to read a bunch of comments before yours. Stu2b50's response seemed like a good enough place to point out the dynamic.

Exactly this. It cuts through the noise and frames the benefit for the people who are most likely to upgrade. The nerds will find the relevant information anyway so no need to cater the high level marketing to them.

A lot of people in this thread commenting without making an attempt to understand who this is for.

I replace my computers before I ever feel a need to upgrade them. Computers are fast and performant for a long time now (4+ years, especially for non-professional use). And as someone who works with computers all day long, I never ever want

> Yes, Apple has been blind to the actual humans using their products for some time now. This is a ridiculous take. There is literally no evidence of this. There are over 2 BILLION iOS devices in the wild and I doubt it's because &q

I think the Watch is certainly more straightforward of a product cycle and happened on a faster time scale. I think iterations of Vision Pro will take years and the final cost will not be what it is today. What everyone sees today is a deve

This is exactly how it'll happen. This is also exactly how Apple Watch happened.

I'm glad you're bringing screenshots to the conversation because so often people just talk about what they feel without grounding it in anything. What the screenshot makes clear is that you'd have to be a single-celled organi

It's likely they're repurposing slightly older display inventory to preserve margins, recoup R&D costs and to bring overall component costs lower since this is meant to be a cheaper device.

Apple Notes is the greatest note taking app of all time. I literally don't need anything else.

You articulate this position well. I've tried to convey something similar and it's tough to find the words to explain to people. I really like this phrase: "Words are words. Writers are writers. Writers are not words." I

Any thoughts on synthetic data?

Why was this exact situation so common in the 90s - why did every friend group have a person who lied about an uncle working at specifically Nintendo?

Ok well, my second sentence was just a Pokemon reference. For the fans.

It's advice you give other people but secretly don't take yourself. Because you want to be the very best - like no one ever was.

Absolutely worth it because of the environment that it put around me for four years and the peers who inspired and pushed me to do better (and also helped me grow socially, become more independent, etc). There is nothing in adult life that&

This isn't really that groundbreaking of a story... Of course they'd do this! How did people think feed ranking worked? The only reason this is being reported now is because there's a chatbot and I guess that feels different

I think it was meant to be tongue-in-cheek humor. You can tell based on how they shot the scene.

Solid list. We don't need to overcomplicate code review. It's a sanity test and we're all humans at the end of the day. Give good feedback if there's any to give, and don't force it if there isn't - get the cod
