Brian Stucki with the announcement:
In short, I’ve decided to sell ownership of Macminicolo and merge it with another company. I will stay on as President of Macminicolo and also serve as a Vice President of the parent company, MacStadium.
I truly hope this works out, as this is a company I absolutely rely on. I do have a lot of faith in Stucki and give him the benefit of the doubt — he’s been a huge part of keeping this site going.
Kiril Savino on moving to an iPad Pro:
While the iPad as a whole is going through an awkward phase, this feels like the end game. App developers need to realize that this is the platform of the future, and get their apps optimized for the iPad Pro.
Steven Levy, in an article titled “How Bill Gates Predicted the iPad Pro“, writes:
The unresolved question is the one where Gates and Jobs diverged on their answers. Gates argued that tablets would become the norm, replacing the laptop. Jobs found success by creating a media delivery system that could, in a pinch, do some work. The serious stuff, you could do on a Mac.
Levy comes so close to hitting the key difference between Jobs and Gates, but fails to close that loop. Did Gates predict where the iPad is now heading when he thought up the Microsoft Tablet? Yes. Did Jobs also see that? I don’t know, but likely yes.
Nice thoughts on Apple’s Classroom app from Fraser Speirs. I really think this is going to be a killer tool as it matures.
