IBM has an one-atom thick graphene transitor? How long more before Apple changes MacBooks' unit of measurement for thickness from mm to atom? :-)
I’ve found these three broad principles to be the most helpful.

Just a note to say that I’ve left Macworld to work for a Cupertino-based technology company you may be familiar with.

That’s what we’re looking at today – iPad (and iPhone) guitar amp simulations, along with virtual effects pedals. And along the way, we’ll look at hardware to connect up your guitar to the iPad, and at some speaker options so you can actually hear yourself play.

Sometimes, unfortunately, new discoveries hide nasty surprises. Which is what happened to me when I realised that if blind or visually impaired people activate Voiceover on their iPhone or iPad using IOS 8.1.2, they cannot use a bluetooth keypad at the same time.
