Adonit ships new Pixel stylus to compete with Apple Pencil

Adonit ships new Pixel stylus to compete with Apple Pencil: "One of the most important improvements is predictive touch, which should boost accuracy and reduce latency, two of the main perks of choosing Apple's stylus. The Pixel also has 2,048 levels of pressure sensitivity, offset correction, and palm rejection in supported apps. Full feature support must be implemented by app developers using a provided SDK — compatible apps so far include titles like Astropad and Autodesk SketchBook."

Tough sailing ahead, good luck guys!

Touch ID, OLED touch bar to highlight thinner MacBook Pro models in Q4

Touch ID, OLED touch bar to highlight thinner MacBook Pro models in Q4: "Specifically, Kuo believes Apple plans to introduce a Touch ID fingerprint reader into the new MacBook Pro chassis, which if true will be the first non-iOS implementation of the biometric security system."

More of the worst design; when ideas that are great concepts for mobile are incredulously stapled onto the Mac. Among the worst iOS features ever introduced on the Desktop: notifications which interrupt your train of thought to tell you some irrelevant and highly distracting "information" that you never asked for. My favorite feature of 10.8 is that notifications can only be disabled by removing the appropriate framework from the /System/Library folder. That works quite well.
