A few Mac thoughts
I agree, the original ipad was and still is the perfect tablet size / weight ration. Imagine how much more stuff they could have added to that shell instead of needlessly following the crowd by reducing the dimensions. It always amazes me this need to make stuff smaller or faster at the expense of progress or efficiency.
Think of cars - if they had put a cap on power 10 years ago and said enough is enough, cars would be many more times efficient... for example, a new BMW 520d with the same speed as a 10 year model (ample for most) would be able to reduce emmisions by even more than they have managed.
I don't want an Imac that's thin on the sides, I never see behind the thing, and it looks the same dead on when I'm working at it.
Iphone 6plus could be a mill thicker and have twice the battery life. I have one, it's great and the battery life is very good but it could be bigger, thicker etc
Mac wireless keyboard doesn't need the number pad removed - it's on a desktop so it doesn't need to be small, but it feels like a toy to the professional, especially when working on a £3000 27" imac.
So Cookjob couldn't get the parts for the Ipod Classic? What's wrong with an SSD? Apple could buy a 120gb for a few dollars...
I have a nice watch, why would I throw it away to wear that? If I didn't have a watch (which I assume many new gen haven't) then perhaps... but everyone I've spoken to already have watches. One rumour was that Tag were making a version, that it would cost £1000 plus. Now that might be aspirational.
M-Audio iControl - now there's a thing! Didn't work with Logic 8 - just Garageband. Now it works fully with Logic X on Yosemite - brilliant!
