O ex-designer da #Apple, Jon Stoa, compartilhou em sua página pessoal alguns dos projetos nos quais trabalhou na empresa entre 2006 e 2008. O mais intrigante deles, como destacou a #Macworld, possivelmente é o conceito de um "iPod retrô" de edição limitada, que seria projetado com um visual bem ligado ao ano de 1984 (baseado no #Macintosh original, na tipografia clássica e no logo em arco-íris na parte traseira).

O conceito ia muito além de um design vintage. O material… https://www.instagram.com/p/DVM20JhjYWZ/

Reading a 1991 #MacWorld article about "low cost Macintoshes" ($2,450 to $8,850 in today's money, lol).

Kind of surreal how it predicted #Apple's then-future financial woes, although screaming Chicken Little over the supposedly paltry 30% profit margin is already a very late-stage-capitalistic mood. One very interesting tidbit is that Apple up until that point spent an average of 750 USD marketing EACH UNIT (total marketing budget / yearly sales, I'd surmise). WOOOOOOOOW.

Also, there's an inset article asking if Sculley (the CEO that fired*/took over from Jobs) was worth his 16.7 million** USD salary/bonuses/benefits.

lol, that'd be a budget McCEO today!

*More like Jobs tried to fire him, but he had too many friends on the board, IIRC.

**Early 32-bit era humor/irony or just coincidence: 16.7 million is also 2^24, a.k.a. the number of colors reproducible by a non-HDR "truecolor" display

Notice how quickly the image opened on the old Mac running the old macOS when Steve clicked the image. ~2005. It should be using HDD even.

My MacBook Pro M1 Pro slower on the same task. Crazy.

Very cool old tutorial. First you open HUE / red channel then make a range smaller to pick up only dark red areas, shift HUE to the most left, to see the selection better, tweak the range again, to perfectly match areas that you want to fix. And then move HUE back from 0 to right, more to yellowish side. Very cool.

#Macworld reports that the next version of #macOS will be called macOS 26 instead of macOS 16. If #Apple hadn’t dropped the OS X name, I guess they’d have to start calling it OS XX.

Dan Moren Questions What It Means To Be An Apple Fan These Days

The headline of Dan Moren’s final column for MacWorld says it all: I’m An Apple Fan In 2025. What Does That Even Mean?

Moren has been writing for MacWorld and been a sensible voice inside the Apple community for close to 20 years. He’s signing off his regular column gig for MacWorld, but he’ll still be around on the likes of Six Colors, podcasts, and I’m sure other places. Which is good, because his voice is an important and reliable one.

In his farewell, he raises the question many are asking of themselves, and the questions many are asking of Apple in its current state and our own state of affairs. As he puts it in a nutshell of a statement:

As Apple started becoming more and more successful, I’ve become increasingly skeptical that one should ever really consider oneself a “fan”of a company.

It’s a well thought out and well reasoned post and one that I think should be read by anyone considering themselves a fan, or a no longer fan, or even someone who just doesn’t care for Apple or its products.

A big part of the self-examination I know quite a few folks are going through in assessing their current relationship with Apple deals with issues bigger than just the products. For lack of a better description call them corporate issues. Even using that label — corporate — feels dirty to type in ways that seem damning in more dangerous ways these days. But that’s a fungible feeling and thinking that’s becoming increasingly tangible.

Here’s the thing. Technology advances. Humans advance. Nothing that feels foundational or allegiance adhering, or even worth being infatuated about is going to ever stay the same. Nor are our feelings about what we first might have fallen in love with, regardless of how the object of that affection itself grows and changes. Change is constant.

Microsoft had my allegiance back in the Tablet PC days because they won it when those much maligned devices provided a better, more productive way to do my work. Microsoft changed. I did too. iPads replaced what Tablet PCs were for me in my work and my play, and those are the tools I still use today. Do I think that will be forever? Not a chance. I mourned the loss of Tablet PCs. I’m sure if Apple stopped making iPads, I’d go through a similar grieving process. But again, that’s change. That’s life.

That’s also growth. But growth on the human side of the ledger rarely equals growth on the corporate side. In my brief time on this planet the two have never added up to successful equation that yields anything other than diverging results. That’s one thing I don’t ever expect to change.

Kudos to Dan on a job and career well done, (and still going) and kudos for a lovely farewell column in MacWorld.

@BasicAppleGuy Amazing OS X is 24 years old, 25 if you include the Public beta and its unveiling at #Macworld 2000 with Aqua. In 2001 when OS X launched, Mac OS 9 was 17 years old. So, OS X has a more solid foundation, jumped two CPU architectures, switched file systems, multiple redesigns, spawned multiple offshoots - iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, Vision OS.

Twenty-five years ago, Steve Jobs took the stage at Macworld Expo in San Francisco and unveiled Mac OS X. That moment on stage in January 2000 redefined the Mac for 25 years and counting.

If you’re looking for a new #keyboard for your #Apple #Mac, #MacWorld has a nice feature with a load of deals for #BlackFriday. Now, I had (until recently) an MX Keys for Mac I accidentally dropped and a corner of it just shattered, so it’s not quite as sturdy as they claim. I replaced it with an MX Keys Mini (refurbished on Amazon for $45) and whilst not as massive, is still very nice and has updated function keys. #hardware https://www.macworld.com/article/668394/the-best-keyboards-for-mac.html

I guess it’s fair that #Macworld’s David Price put ‘confirmed’ in quotes, but it is potentially misleading. Sure, a Barclays analyst has seen clear evidence that the #iPhone #SE4 is likely shipping early next year, but nothing is for sure with the #Apple of today. Mid-range phones are hot these days, however, so I think this #rumor has merit. As always, we must wait and see. #tech https://www.macworld.com/article/2528294/new-iphone-se-confirmed-to-launch-in-march-2025.html

What is going on with Macworld? So many of their stories are negative-focused clickbait. They used to be a beacon of usefulness. #macworld

Here is a vintage #TTRPG tip, use archive.org Magazine rack to view old gaming mags.
Lots of #TSR #Dragon magazines are available.
https://archive.org/details/magazine_rack?query=dragon

I had success finding issues of #Dungeon, #Polyhedron, Pegasus, and Fantasy Modeling

#SciFi and #Traveller related, I found #Ares, High Passage, Far Traveller, and The Space Gamer.

Other titles of interest...
#SciFi Mags like Galaxy
#Apple Computer mags like #MacUser, #MacWorld

Could be my new way to pass time while waiting at the DMV.

Cuuuuuube.

What a curious flop. :) :apple_inc:

Intel Macs: Downfall-Schwachstelle entdeckt – Vorsicht geboten!
Neueste Entdeckung eines Sicherheitsforschers: Ein möglicher neuer Angriffspunkt auf Intel Mac

Almost nobody knows that I was an editor at MacUser magazine. That's because I got hired just about 4 months before the merger between Ziff-Davis' #MacUser and IDG's #MacWorld.

I ended up bouncing to PC World, where I stayed for a decade.

I was hired because I was an inveterate Mac tinkerer, while just a novice editor. So imagine my surprise as I literally just discovered a feature I've never seen before in a Mac system.

I knew the (OS 8.1) system's text editor, SimpleText, had text-to-speech tools built right into the front end. What I didn't know is that, among the range of voices you can choose to read aloud whatever is in the text editor, is a voice called Pipe Organ that literally sings whatever text is in the document in a style I can only describe as 60s-robotic-Gregorian Chant.

And the best part? The tune the voice kind of sings along with is March of the Marionette, otherwise known as the theme song from the TV series Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

You have *not* experienced "new features" documentation about software until you've had it sung to you by a mournful robot with a Hitchcock fetish.

Absolutely in my experience too.

My iPad makes a great personal device sitting beside my work laptop. One keyboard, one mouse, two different contexts: work and personal (with copying and pasting between also supported).

And yes, this means i liveblogged the original iPhone announcement for #TUAW, which was absolutely one of my crowning achievements.

I used this janky-ass setup with my... Samsung? HTC Windows smartphone? for tethering. Apple didn't consider us press at the time so we had to buy our broke-ass ticket into the #Macworld audience.

The people around me kept asking questions about how I was live-blogging, what phone, etc etc. Weird but amazing experience.
