50: Disk Light Observer Effect

from Accidental Tech Podcast · host ATP

Follow-up on why an iPad "Pro" needs to be larger and why iOS is "better for people". Can iOS add more power-user functionality without harming its simplicity or usability? Whether Macs should ship with ARM CPUs, how such a transition would be challenging today, and whether Casey should just buy another power adapter. The 30th anniversary of the Macintosh and the experience of using its power switch (photo from iFixit's awesome teardown). Disk-ejecting usability. Using iStat Menus to monitor your performance and assist future hardware decisions. (Or not.) Lenovo buying Motorola's pillaged carcass from Google, and whether they ruined the IBM ThinkPad. After-show: What will we reflect on in 20 years as being the obvious sore spot with computers today? Sponsored by: HelpSpot: Simple, powerful, customizable help-desk software with no monthly fees.
