This Week in Apple History
On January 27, 2010, the original iPad was announced. It did not start shipping until March. Here’s our review of the original iPad. PCWorld called it “a big iPod Touch.”
Macworld Mailbag
One important aspect [about Apple Creator Studio] is the Educational price. $2.99 a month! that is crazy. I remember back in 2003 when I went back to school I went to the bookstore and purchased Final Cut Studio…I paid $300.00 for it. And I felt lucky because the retail price was $900.00. So, I say that Apple is looking towards the next generation of creators. That is the true market.

Regarding the upcoming touchscreen MacBook Pro:
what if they added a new layer or sensor to the trackpad that supported features of the Apple Pencil such as hover and writing, along with all of the other supported feature features on iPad? They could expand the width of the trackpad to allow for more writing, and it would open up a new layer of creativity for Mac.
