El Capitan is fun to say , but that ’s not the best thing about it , not by a tenacious shot . The next version of OS X might not have C of new lineament , but the improvments it does have could make a moderately bounteous difference in the quality of your digital life . Easier muting of autoplay telecasting ? Easier room to create young Calendar upshot and Contacts card from inside Mail ? Natural language Spotlight queries ? Sign us up for all of that .

But what would OS decade be without the Mac ? We also discuss the recent , uh , indecent proposal in the Wall Street Journal that Apple should terminate making the Mac . Besides just making all of us * very * pitiful pandas , it ’s just a bad idea . A better estimation ? Keeping abreast of security situations like the XARA exploit and the LastPass breach , so Glenn will say us what we require to know about those .
