Anytime I need to see your face I just close my eyes
And I am taken to a place
Where your crystal minds and magenta feelings
Take up shelter in the base of my spine
Sweet like a chica cherry cola

LOL the new 13" Macbook "Pro" only has a dual-core CPU (no mention if it's Skylake or whatever) and only integrated Intel GPU. Gotta push those users towards the more expensive 15" model somehow, I guess...

Also LOL at the 15" Macbook "Pro" having AMD GPU instead of nVidia.

And just SMDH at no desktop Mac updates.

the thing about android gimmicks is that they are half hearted efforts and get dropped in a year

apple will spend billions making the touch bar work and it's here to stay

most of the services revenue is the App Store

do you think that's from people buying omnigraffle? it's for coins/credits/gold/etc. for candy clash of Skinner box

Apple is a slot machine sales and service company. in 2030 "iPhone" will be a brand of pachinko machine
