Apple ios7 + neue iPhones 5s & 5c – Bewertung für Musiker

well – iphones may not be that interesting for us musicians since apple seems still not to allow USB MIDI Controllers via CamKit & Lightning (iPhone only, iPads work), so they / we need to stick with iPads – but the A7 and 64bit power could get interesting in the future, when the A7 will be part of the next iPad / iPad Mini. iPads and ios7 will take a while, so.. just sit back and have a nice day.. that’s all for now on the todays apple event.   Die musikalische Bedeutung…

Mac Pro läuft aus wegen EU Richtlinie

Apples Mac Pro wurde lang diskutiert. Nun bringt ihn irgendein schräges EU Gesetz zu Fall. Bis Ende Februar kann man ihn noch kaufen, danach ist Schluss. Der Verkauf geht dann nur noch außerhalb der EU. Damit ist kein „Pro“ Rechner mehr erhältlich bis Apple sich bequemt neue Mac Pros zu bringen, die auch kranken Richtlinien der EU genüge tun. So starb auch Yamahas WX Serie einst. Ganz toll. R.I.P. Mac Pro
