That New Apple Stuff
Last Thursday was yet another Apple event. A few things to roll out of that tent were: a new Mac mini – still small and still inexpensive, a giant iMac with an insane resolution of 5180×2880 (that’s like I can see the zits on your face from high school and you are 50 years old and 2 miles away), Yosemite just came out – new free great OS for Macs, Apple Pay is operational as of two days ago, and we have a new Air 2 (iPad) and mini 3. Revenue is up 38% over last year’s quarter, a 1% year over year. But hey, 1% of a ba-jillion dollars tells you why they work so hard to upgrade everything so fast. What will the new “thing” be? (Tablet after smartphone after the laptop after the desktop, etc.) Maybe you will be the one to come up with it. I’m waiting for the Minority Report/Ironman computer. I want one of those.
