In the week since we last spoke , Susie reviewed the MacBook Pro models with the new Touch Bar . She finds the Touch Bar very useful , a refreshing change in how we use our Macs , and absolutely in bank line with technology ’s recent focussing on putting the material you need in front of you when you need it .

Then Apple announced a vanity project that really stretches the word vanity : project by Apple in California , a coffee table book slash wordless design manual that could be a cool idea if the proceeds were going to any number of charities . ( Spoiler : They are not . ) So we share our feelings about that , and then extend the discourse to Apple ’s posture overall lately . Let us have sex your intellection , too .
