MacBook Air 13″/MBP Retina Next Generation Mid 2012 – no user serviceable parts inside, SSD apple prorietary! RAM soldered – Retina MBPs

MacBook Air 13″ Mid 2012 Teardown – Page 3 – iFixit. tells us – you can not replace SSD or RAM yourself, since RAM is soldered and the SSD has a very special apple only connector, which is for the sake of apple being the one and only a very own unique one, so – you CAN’T do anything or buy SSDs or RAMs at fair prices anyware, same for the 11″ MB Air. so, guess what I think – the same thing on the new next generation Macbook Pro…

Nodal – Generative Music Software

Nodal – Generative Music Software. Generates Sequences and even „Beats“ algorithmically. What is Nodal? Nodal is a generative software application for composing music.

These voices play the musical events as they encounter them on the…
