- How to tame cable clutter
Look at the immaculate setup picture below. There are no visible cables, a feat that took a fair bit of effort on the part of a Mac fan known as Basic Apple Guy.
Former Apple design chief Jony Ive -- who also hates cable clutter -- would be proud of this pristine setup.
If you’re sick of the rat’s nest in your setup, read the post for some surprisingly intricate cable-concealing inspiration.

As Apple TV+’s hit basketball show Swagger closes out its second season, our critic says it’s one of the best shows on any network.

Today is the day in Apple history that the Mac first got proper multitasking — way back in 1987 with an extension in Macintosh System Software 5. It’s a fascinating piece of Apple history.
Right now, I wouldn’t recommend anyone buy a Mac that’s not based on Apple silicon. But if you need an old beater, this $250 refurbished MacBook Air is hard to beat.

One more thing ...
I love it when you can bring really great design and simple capability to something that doesn’t cost much. It was the original vision for Apple. That’s what we tried to do with the first Mac. That’s what we did with the iPod.
