Yup. Here's how Apple lost[1] creatives: - The laptop lineup only offers Intel graphics or AMD's weakest mobile GPUs. I suspect that Metal has something to do with why they've pretended Nvidia doesn't exist for the past

Business Insider is a pretty trashy "news" website, and to me most everything the article says could apply to modern Silicon Valley culture in general—Snap[chat] just happens to be in LA instead. In fact, I see a lot of HBO's

El Capitan is a refining-things release, much like Snow Leopard was to Leopard or Windows 7 was to Vista (although comparing Yosemite to Vista is admittedly a big stretch). If you're using Yosemite, just upgrade to El Capitan. There ar
