Do you use Google?
You are carrying around a mic with you at all times.

You don't carry around a phone? Good for you.
Pretty sure you know what I was getting at.

I have a work phone that I use at work, but other than that, I don't carry one around.
I like being unreachable for at least a couple of hours every day.

You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.

I liked the WWDC this year. It felt like Apple was at least listening more to the performance complaints their last releases faced. MacBook Pros are hella expensive but I want one so I'll try and expense it. AppleTV has been a great update to my living room. Way nicer than other boxes I tried... but I'm not really in to the idea of living room assistants. I can't see HomePod solving a problem I face.
My friend Kevin without fail yells XBOX HORSE PORN LOUD LOCK. At any speakered device in our friends' houses.
The new Google Chromecast for streaming video to TVs seems like a better choice and it's only $50. I stream a lot of TV (and sports). Fix this and I'd gladly buy another addition to my Apple echosystem.
This is highly irrational. For Google or MSFT it makes more sense because your accounts are openly mined via interconnected cloud services. But for this a hacker would literally have to target your specific device to access your home network.
If a world class hacker is sourcing out your device on a closed network and talented and motivated enough to crack in... you're fucked pal. Your laptop is a much better honeypot too.

It does feel like the 2016 MBP was a wake up call for Apple, that they really are losing what has always been a very important segment of their user base. When graphic artists and shit even talk about getting something like a Razer Stealth over the new MBP something is wrong.
That hasty "we r working on a new Mac Pro, we swear" thing is just totally unheard of. Maybe they'll bring back Aperture!

I don't believe anyone in any volume actually switched over. From my own investigation Windows still can't run certain applications at the OS level they need to. Even a level abstract from that some base-level commands don't even exist. The most popular app design tool - Sketch - doesn't run on it.
It's probably problematic I did an investigation in the first place though. If Windows had been competent a switch may have been scheduled 3-6 months out.
As a side note -- the new touch bar is legit amazing. It puts shortcuts and efficiencies at my fingertips that were otherwise impossible.

There may still be niches where macs are preferred or required, but from what I've heard from friends in vfx and graphic design, macs are no longer viable.
There are only two macs left where I work, and the one in print is going to be replaced with a windows box this year. The other belongs to one of our software developers, and he's not switching any time soon.

Yea I've heard both things.
Touch bar is something I shit on when it was announced, tried it in the Apple Store and was like dammit.
It's great.
