So far my Macbook Pro 13" fully loaded has done a great job of replacing my Macbook Air. What does bug me though after spending over $2.5k (sales tax) for a brand new 'state of the art machine' I can't even play the new

First of all, i’m pretty sure the Macbook Pro has always been a mobile workstation (and their only computer) for 10s of millions of people since it was released. Second of all, This isn’t about you. nobody is saying you’re not a professiona

As much as that would be appreciated, its no longer Apple. Those users are typically building their own hardware to hackintosh spec instead - better than nothing but still many (myself included) would rather buy such a solution from Apple t

Couldnt the US Gov just use Medicare as a private health insurance option that runs not for profit and offers a lower cost than private insurers? It could then negotiate low rates with pharma companies and hospitals on behalf of its custome

I think you’ve nailed it - this is a branding problem more than anything else. They have tried merging the Macbook Air and the Pro into one computer and its just pissed off both fanbases. If they had just called these the Macbook 13” and 15

It’s really the "Macbook Air Pro” imo. Portable and powerful is PERFECT for digital nomads and business travellers. A portable powerhouse that can be thrown in a day bag and taken to cafe’s, coworking spaces, lugged through airports an

As a digital nomad I need something thats capable enough to let me run my business while traveling but is still light as possible. I upgrade every 2 1/2 years or so and was always skipping over the Macbook Pro for the fully optioned 13

I own an app that pays social media celebrities to respond to fans, we pay them 60% of our profits. Apple broke their own app store rules stating we would be disqualified from IAP and forced us to use it. So after we pay out our partners of

Accountability? What about accountability from FOX news, CNN and all the other programs that do an even worse job and aren't comedy shows? Shouldn't they be accountable first and foremost?

Except Braintree are owned by PayPal and, just like PP, they love to just randomly kill your merchant account. I know plenty of people this has happened to for no good reason other than 'sorry you no longer fit our risk profile'.

Yeah, things have changed in recent years in HK. HSBC HK has a horrible reputation now and they are very resistant to do corporate account openings and prefer your company is resident or doing business in HK. Regarding long stay visas in Th

Hate to tell you this but you chose the worst time of year to come. Google “Burning Season Chiang Mai” - I’d recommend sticking to the south of Thailand, particularly the islands, and then come up around April 10 for Songkran. Punspace is t

Hong Kong is a great place to incorporate for tax advantages, but a terrible place for getting merchant processing or a bank account. Remote openings are not possible. You can fly to Hong Kong and open a bank account in person, and they may

This is huge. As someone who is involved in the digital nomad community here in Chiang Mai, Thailand - getting incorporation and processing set up for a lot of people here is very difficult. Although places like Thailand are a great place f

What I don’t understand is - Why is there not a serious competitor to Skype? If there was a cross-platform Skype clone that worked on OSX, Linux, Windows, iOS and Android that was stable and secure - the whole world would jump onto it. All

My favourite takeaway from this article - "Google does not want me to love their products. Google wants me to love Google. All of it." Couldn't agree more.

As an Australian living in Vancouver who travels to Seattle quite often, the best way is to take the Amtrak. You have to pass immigration at the train station but it's a breeze, and they board the train and check everyones papers are in ord

I wonder how much of this story is real? It certainly felt real. Still, a thoroughly enjoyable read.

Am I the only one who believes that this notion of 'piracy stealing jobs' is simply a catalyst for Rupert Murdoch and his billionaire friends who collectively own this industry to personally control the Internet? This is absolutely a power
