Yep, or Guias Baltar gives the Cylons access codes to the defense mainframe!

macOS/iCloud keychain does the job for me, but agreed that that user experience can be much better. If not a Safari password that's not setup for autofill, opening Keychain access,…

I agree. Bringing back the old design would immediately solve a lot of problems, but Apple won't do that. Even with a new redesign, I assume the system will still be designed to ac…

What are the chances the new Mac Pro will simply be a smaller, higher-density form factor of the cheese grater Mac Pro? Also glad to hear the Mac Mini's not being killed off.

A disappointing update, but would still consider it to replace my mid 2010 Core2Duo mini if the Thunderbolt ports supported Multistream Transport (MST) so I could daisychain 3 x De…
