    iMac Pro

    I recently upgraded to an iMac Pro to help speed up the 3D modeling work I do. Is anyone else here running one? What do you think are “must have” apps for it?

    3D Printers, anyone?

    I'm just curious if anyone else is working with 3D printers. I've got two that I designed and built that I'm having a lot of fun with. I printed this 8 foot long model of the USS Discovery from the movie, "2001: A Space Odyssey."

    Steve Jobs : The Lost Interview

    I just watched the documentary, "Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview" on Amazon Prime. It was an interview that was recorded in 1995, about a year before Apple bought Next and brought Steve back on-board. Steve was very candid on a variety of subjects. It's a very interesting interview for those who...

    Phone companies pushing back at Apple?

    It looks as if Verizon and AT&T are starting to push back against Apple's high pricing/subsidies. I'm a little surprised that it has taken this long. Is Apple's Golden Goose About to Be Cooked? - TheStreet MP

    What are your favorite OS X apps?

    Since we have threads for iPad and Android app favorites I thought I'd start a similar thread on OS X. It should help me with software selection when my iMac gets here.

    iBook Author

    I've started converting my first book to iBook format using iBooks Author. It's a pretty amazing program. It will be interesting to see how well this format and program are adopted by writers and publishers.

    Interesting read. The top 10 Android apps represent over 40% of all app usage and the top 50 apps represent 61 %of the usage. That leaves 250,000 apps to fight for a very small piece of the market. Most Android Apps Sit Idle, Top-50 Make Up 61% Usage: Nielsen | FoxBusiness.com

    iGIFTS

    A man buys his son an iPAD, daughter an iPOD, himself an iPHONE and his wife an iRON. His wife is not impressed even after he explaines it can be integrated with the iWASH, iCOOK & iCLEAN networks. This triggeres the iNAG service, which totally wipes out the iSHAG function.
