We've been expecting an iPhone SE and an updated iPad Air. But last-minute rumors point to a potential Mac bombshell.

When you need to scan a line of text, or even whole paragraphs, the pen-shaped Scanmarker Air gets the job done quickly and efficiently. Its optical character recognition quickly and accurately digitizes text. Then, the portable scanner sends the captured data to your iPhone, Mac or other device via Bluetooth.

Between air raids and missile strikes, MacPaw's Julia Petryk works in her bathtub. It’s the safest place in her Kyiv apartment. She and other MacPaw staffers tell their stories about life during the Russian invasion.

A growing number of Ukrainians are without water, power and food as Russia's assault continues. They need all the help they can get. If you want to do your bit, you can donate to one of many charities that are now working to support citizens by providing food, water, blankets, clothes and other essential supplies.

Using a "headless" MacBook Pro with a broken screen (or no screen at all) is a cost-effective Mac mini substitute.

Apple has a whole bunch of exciting Mac upgrades planned for 2022, according to recent rumors. But if it’s a new Mac Pro or iMac Pro powered by Apple silicon you’re after, you could be waiting until next year.

As we know from looking at lots of computer setups, having at least two monitors is popular, and so is having at least one of those in portrait mode (vertical). But what if you have dual displays and both are ultra-wide screens?

One more thing ...

"The primary reasons to buy a computer for your home now are that you want to do some business work at home or you want to run educational software for yourself or your children. If you can’t justify buying a computer for one of those two reasons, the only other possible reason is that you just want to be computer literate. You know there’s something going on, you don’t exactly know what it is, so you want to learn. This will change: Computers will be essential in most homes." -- Steve Jobs in 1985 on the future of computing
