Maybe I'm living in a bubble, but since when has SMS been a painful experience for messaging? If I'm texting whoever, whenever, I can send a snap and I have the bonus of not having to take a picture for every text I send. Plus in

Mavericks was tough to give up, stable, fast. No discoveryd. IMHO, its the best release of OS X. Maybe everyone has amnesia but pre 10.3, OS X wasn't really usable full time. Each 10.2.x release was a whirlwind of changes. Early iOS h

I imagine it has its own appeal as most people in non-tech industries where Slack is unheard of understand Facebook. Plus it has the double whammy of servicing linkedin-like features. The video shows a fabric company if that says anything a

You and me both. 2012 Mac Pros have retained their value quite a bit because of Apple's 2013 debacle. The Firmware upgrade (if you can score CPUs) makes the 2009 the best bang for buck.

Here you go, I imagine some of these are underhand pitches for the HN crowd, but here you go. There's a few that most users are simply unaware of, such as replacing the Airport card with one that supports ant continuity and handoff and

Does it really take much to maintain a user modifiable tower? I imagine the amount of engineering the 2013 Mac Pro took, was greater than simply maintaining a 4x PCIe slot box with whatever the latest and greatest Xeons are. Apple could hav

I'm still on a Mac Pro 2008, and I've written several articles about upgrades which drives the majority of my blog's traffic. I've done everything from jam in a nVidia GeForce 760 GTX, to SSD, to mini-PCIe wireless A&#x2

Agreed, the folder metaphor works as its a direct visualization of the hierarchy of the computer.

I had the same thought. While looting mobile for some our better interactions (Swipe gestures for OS X), I don't see how this is more efficient that what we have. Mobile work flows are far more convoluted and time sucking that current

This isn't a web problem, this is a division of labor problem. There's plenty of specialization to be had to as you advance career wise, and by logical progression of the web platform. It sounds like you haven't found the rig

This seems to be a theory based on the assumption that the person(s) are already having more than their base needs met: (decent housing, food, entertainment, retirement). Salary is one hell of a motivator if you're struggling to meet t

Atom Helper sometimes gets a mind of its own and runs rampant on the CPU, sometimes eating 100% of a single core even an i7 2015 MacBook Pro. Quiting Atom doesn't seem to stop Atom helper. It takes firing up the Activity Monitor and qu

I tested out VS Code, seemed nice enough. Hopefully it'll get the tight integration with Git that Atom has. I have a love / hate relationship with Atom right now.

Years ago I installed a mouse driver for iOS on a jailbroken iPad 2 on iOS 6, it more or less worked for most applications that didn't require two finger gestures. I was able to paint with Brushes and such. It wasn't a pleasant ex

Apple isn't immune to not-so-great design choices: Hockey puck mouse (personally never had a problem but most did), the iPod Speaker system, iPhone antenna issues, the yellowing cases in old MacBooks, the ever breaking Apple Pro Mouse,

Sketch always seemed hampered by the Mac App store. I'm really hoping this opens the door for more flexible licensing for Sketch. The Mac App store is a bit of a pain for multi-seat licensing and upgrade pricing.

As a front end dev, I've noticed the steady increase in job offers. Most of us had the benefit of growing with the technology. Its why when you see a group of Front End Devs, you'll see a group of mostly early 30 somethings to 40

I stand corrected, I assumed that you could as you can rename what Siri calls you. Learn something new every day.

There's a few things that seem key to this: Leaving "hey siri" and "ok google" on at all times, requires relatively noise free environment. Also, with the always on feature, you need to properly address one's p

Once Apple ditched DiscoverD, my wifi and bluetooth woes disappeared instantly. I had a problem where my connection speed suddenly would drop to no more that about 7k as second through wifi which required zapping the PRAM on my 2013 MacBook
