    Interesting predictions on what could happen in the Mac world in the coming years. I want to bookmark this article and come back to it following the WWDC conference. #macOS #apple bs_labs: Re-engine, Not Re-imagine

    I hope the redesign of the iMac will be ugly as hell so I don’t get tempted to replace my 2017 21.5 iMac. 😂😂😂 iMac Redesign 2020 - Chin or no Chin - MacRumors Forums

    Question of the day: what’s up with Automattic and Tumblr? 🤨🤔🧐 This question came up to my mind this morning as I reblogged a post from someone I follow on Wordpress. The reblog action was popularized by Tumblr if I’m not mistaken. Since Automattic bought Tumblr for a few pennies, I was just wondering. Continue reading →

  • On software quality slowly going down... my take.

    Interesting piece (see link below) about software quality going down in a world where hardware quality is culminating to levels never seen before. Here are a few of my thoughts on this subject. First, I think the law of entropy is much more active in software than in hardware. We are actually witnessing the slow disorganization of software (both in features & code), hence the quality goes down with it. Continue reading →

    Thought of the day: thanks to COVID-19, this year’s online-only #WWDC conference will be the only one I can attend just for the fun of it and because I’m an Apple “fanboy”. You could say it’s like a dream coming true.

    I feel deception about Apple announcing a live stream for the keynote. I hope the experience won’t feel too “weird”, “awkward” without anybody in the room. #wwdc #wwdc2020

    iTunes U is the next victim after iBooks Author. I’m not sure Apple’s Classroom and Schoolwork are fully replacing iTunes U’s features set. Let’s wait and see. Also, this change of direction from Apple creates a big opportunity for Google which is already well established. Continue reading →

    Great take by @gruber on rumoured ARM-based Macs. Still a lot of lingering questions though but this is exactly what makes this so interesting. Daring Fireball: On Apple Announcing the ARM Mac Transition at WWDC This Month

    As iPad is getting more and more powerful (in hardware and software), I wonder if I will ever buy a new Mac in the future. Many are probably in the same situation which is interesting in light of possible switch to ARM-based Mac by Apple.

    Seems like ARM-based Macs is a go for this year’s WWDC. The news comes from a source that I don’t like (remember the “Big Hack Story”?) so I’m not sharing the link. In summary: a bit faster CPU, much faster on graphics, ML processing unit, low power hence cooler system, new design enabler. Long transition time expected. Unknown is how are third-parties will transition their apps. Will a DEV kit be made available. Continue reading →

    Today, I read on a website that Polarr is a good alternative to Snapseed. Well, truth to be told: it is far from being the case. Polarr is not free. Very hard to replace special effects like Grunge. #photography #photoapps #applications
