Apple Mac OS
OS X. It’s what makes a Mac a Mac.
OS X is the operating system that powers every Mac. Built on a rock-solid UNIX foundation, it’s engineered to take full advantage of what the hardware is capable of. It’s designed to be as easy to use as it is beautiful to look at. It comes with an amazing collection of apps you’ll use — and love — every day. And it enables your Mac and iOS devices to work wonderfully together.
Software and hardware
made for each other.
OS X is built to bring out the best in your Mac, so you get a fully integrated system in which everything works together seamlessly. It works with the processor in your Mac to deliver the best possible performance. It works with the super-responsive trackpad in Mac notebooks so Multi-Touch gestures feel natural to use. OS X works with your Mac hardware to keep the entire system up to date while it sleeps.1 Advanced power-saving technologies help extend battery life. And OS X is designed for the gorgeous Mac displays, including high-resolution Retina displays, so fonts look crisp and graphics are vivid.
Mac and iOS are connected
like never before.
With OS X Yosemite and iOS 8, your devices work together in even smarter ways. Now you can make and receive iPhone calls on your Mac, even if your iPhone is in another room. Send and receive both iMessage and SMS text messages on your Mac. Start an email, document or browsing session on one device and instantly pick it up on another. And turn on the Personal Hotspot on your iPhone from your Mac so you can get online in an instant
Easy to learn. Easy to use. Easy to love.
From the desktop you see when you start up your Mac to the applications you use every day, everything is designed to be easy and intuitive. On a Mac, it’s easy to find, share and do just about everything. You can control your Mac with simple, intuitive gestures. The Dock lets you launch your favourite apps with a click. Launchpad gives you quick access to your full library of apps. The Finder lets you browse and organise your files on your Mac and in iCloud with ease. Spotlight search makes locating documents, launching apps and looking up information effortless. You can even have your apps and the operating system software update automatically. In fact, a Mac does so many things automatically, sometimes you don’t have to do anything at all.
The Finder is a simple way to access practically everything on your Mac and in iCloud.
With Launchpad, you can see, organise and open all your apps in one place.
Spotlight lets you quickly find information on your Mac.
Control your Mac with
just a click, swipe or press.
Using Multi-Touch gestures makes everything you do on your Mac easy, intuitive and fun. And with the Force Touch trackpad on the new MacBook and 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display, you can now unlock even more ways to interact with your Mac — right from your fingertips.
Multi-Touch, Mac style.
We believe the best way to bring Multi-Touch gestures to a computer is on the horizontal surface of a trackpad. So navigating your Mac using your fingers to tap, scroll, pinch and swipe feels perfectly natural. And because Apple makes both the hardware and software, Multi-Touch gestures are remarkably precise. When you scroll down, your document scrolls down. When you scroll up, your web page scrolls up. When you swipe
Pinch to zoom.Zoom in and out of photos and web pages by moving your thumb and finger in a pinch gesture.
Three-finger swipe.Swipe three fingers to move between desktops and full-screen apps.
Three-finger swipe up for Mission Control.Swipe three fingers up on the trackpad to get a bird’s-eye view of everything running on your Mac.
Pinch to open Launchpad.Pinch your thumb and three fingers together to see all the apps on your Mac.
Click.Click or double-click anywhere. The whole surface is the button.
One-finger scroll.Slide one finger up or down on the mouse to scroll through documents, websites and more.
One-finger swipe to navigate.Swipe left or right with one finger to go forwards or back in Safari.
Tap to zoom.Double-tap the mouse to magnify a web page or PDF.
Double-tap for Mission Control.Double-tap with two fingers to get a bird’s-eye view of everything running on your Mac.
Go way beyond a click with Force Touch.
The Force Touch trackpad on the new MacBook and 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display adds a whole new dimension to interacting with your Mac. With Force Touch, the trackpad now detects variations in downwards pressure and reacts accordingly. When you add a little more pressure to a click — a gesture called a force click — you can reveal the definition of a word or look it up on Wikipedia. When you force click an address, a map will pop up. And when you force click a date, you can quickly add a new event in Calendar. You can also use your trackpad as an accelerator to fast-forward through a QuickTime film at varying speeds based on how hard you press. In addition, the Force Touch trackpad responds with haptic feedback when you do certain things, like aligning annotations on a PDF, which allows you not just to see what’s happening on screen, but to feel it.
Built for power. From the ground up.
Making powerful things simple requires some seriously advanced technologies. OS X is loaded with them. It’s built on a rock-solid, time-tested UNIX foundation that provides unparalleled stability and industry-leading support for Internet standards. OS X takes full advantage of the multicore Intel processors and fast flash storage to handle any task. And the incredible graphics capabilities in OS X supply applications like Final Cut Pro with impressive video editing power. Learn more about OS X advanced technologies
Advanced features for power users.
And everybody else too.
As a desktop operating system, OS X offers powerful ways to get work done as efficiently as possible. For example, you can organise, view and find files in your system any way you want. With Finder Tabs, you can consolidate multiple Finder windows into a single window. And you can label your files with tags so you can easily organise files by project, without having to move them into a folder. If you like to work with multiple applications at the same time, Mission Control gives you a bird’s-eye view of everything that’s running on your system. And if you want to use a second display with your Mac, just plug it in — no configuration required. If you have an Apple TV, you can even use your HDTV as a fully functional second display over your wireless network.
iCloud. Everything you love,
everywhere you go.
Thanks to built-in support for iCloud, whatever you do in apps like iTunes, Mail, Contacts and Calendar on your Mac happens on your other devices too.3 So, for example, a contact or a calendar event you add on your iPhone also appears on your Mac. Add a meeting to your calendar on your Mac and receive an alert on your iPad. Buy a song in iTunes on your Mac and it can automatically download to your iPhone. Even start a Messages conversation on your iPhone and finish it on your Mac. And iCloud Drive lets you access all your documents on your Mac and iOS devices. So your files will go wherever you do.
Security was our first thought.
Not an afterthought.
Every Mac is designed with advanced technologies that work together to constantly scrutinise, encrypt, update — and ultimately keep your Mac safer. For starters, OS X includes a host of features designed to protect your Mac and the information on it. Gatekeeper makes it safer to download and install apps. FileVault safeguards data using powerful encryption. Sandboxing protects your system by isolating apps from each other, as well as from your system and your data. Find My Mac helps you locate your missing Mac on a map, set a passcode remotely and more. Customisable privacy settings keep your personal information under your control.
The best way to keep your Mac up to date with the latest security features? Just install software updates — the Mac App Store notifies you when you have an update. And because OS X Yosemite is available as a free upgrade, it’s easier than ever to keep your Mac safe with the latest security features and enhancements.
Compatible with Windows.
The versatility and power of OS X help a Mac fit in just about anywhere — including Windows networks. Want to transfer your files, photos and other data from a Windows PC? OS X lets you do that easily with Migration Assistant. If you want to run Windows on your Mac, you can do that with Boot Camp.4 OS X has built-in support for the latest version of Microsoft Exchange Server, so you can use your Mac at home and at work and keep all your messages, meetings and contacts in sync. And, of course, you can work with popular file types such as JPG, MP3 and PDF, as well as Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents.
Accessibility built in.
OS X comes as standard with a wide range of assistive technologies that help people with disabilities experience what the Mac has to offer, including many features you won’t find in other operating systems — at any price. For example, the built-in VoiceOver screen reader, available in over 30 languages, makes it possible for those who are blind or have low vision to control their computers using key commands or gestures on a Multi-Touch trackpad. Switch Control makes it easier to navigate menus and operate basic controls such as volume, brightness, eject and media playback. OS X also offers out-of-the-box support for more than 40 braille displays (including Bluetooth displays) and many other accessibility features, such as dynamic full-screen magnification, playback of closed captions and a scalable screen.

Amazing apps for everyday things.
With every new Mac, you get a collection of six powerful productivity and creativity apps: Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand. And you get more great apps for the things you do every day: surf the web, make FaceTime video calls, send messages, get driving directions, manage your contacts, send email and more. If you already use an iPhone or iPad, many apps will feel instantly familiar. And because they’re built by Apple just for OS X, they’re fully integrated into the operating system and with each other. So with just a few clicks, you can do things like view a map of an address by clicking a contact card, set up a calendar appointment from an email, or share a photo without switching apps.
Because they’re native apps — not web apps in a browser — they also take full advantage of the power of your Mac to deliver the fastest possible performance. In addition, whenever there’s an update, you’ll get it automatically. And with the Mac App Store built in, it’s easy to find more great apps

Steam Boxes and the Steam Controller
The biggest news at CES this year was the introduction of the Steam Box, a gaming console designed to fit in your entertainment center and bring PC games to the TV in your living room. Sure, you could always connect a PC directly to your TV and play video games, but this isn’t quite the same thing. To confuse things a little further, there are at least 13 different Steam Boxes of all shapes and sizes. Confused? Keep reading.
This is one of many Steam Box designs
Valve, the company behind Steam, the game distribution platform on Windows, Mac, and Linux, decided a few years ago that they weren’t happy with Windows 8, so they created SteamOS, a version of Linux that basically boots directly into the Steam client, so you can play your PC games easily. A Steam Box is just a PC that runs SteamOS and is designed to look good in your living room, and there are at least 13 different manufacturers that have already signed up to make their own Steam box in all sorts of different designs and specs.
What makes all this work is the Steam Controller, which uses touch pads instead of analog sticks for movement and looking around in the game. The left pad is used for moving around in a game, while the right pad is used to mimic using a mouse in a PC game, and it works surprisingly well. It’s the first time that somebody has figured out how to bring the PC gaming experience to the living room with the accuracy of a mouse, but in a console-style controller more friendly for the living room.
Playstation Now Puts Gaming into the Cloud
This game was actually being played on a cloud server somewhere
PlayStation Now is a cloud-based streaming game service that brings you PS3 games on a variety of devices like the PS4, PS Vita, PS3, new Sony TVs, and in the future, on a lot more devices. The only thing you need to bring to the party is a DualShock controller.
How does this work? It’s simple: Your TV or PS4 or PS Vita will need to have the PlayStation Now app installed, just like having the Netflix app today. That will connect to the internet and the games will actually be played in the cloud and streamed to your TV — obviously this requires a pretty decent internet connection, but for those that have one, it works well.
In our testing, the games work almost like you were playing them locally, with no lag between pressing the controls and seeing the action on the screen. One would imagine they will continue to refine it, and over time the internet will grow to handle that type of thing, but it was so fast that using it in person we didn’t know that the actual game was being played on a cloud server somewhere.
What makes this such an impressive feat, beside the obvious fact of PS3 games being played off a cloud server with nothing but a controller in your house, is that it brings backwards compatibility to the PS4, in a way. The games will be subscription-based, and you can login anywhere to play your games, assuming you have a controller.
The Pebble Steel is a Really Stylish Smartwatch
We’ve already talked about the Pebble, the smartwatch that just works, and now they’ve decided to launch a new version that does all the same amazing things, but looks great at the same time. You can still get your notifications from either iPhone or Android, you can customize the watch face to look like anything you want, and you can look good doing it.
The new Pebble Steel is made of either black matte or stainless steel, comes with leather or metal bands, and costs $249, a full hundred bucks more than the regular Pebble watch, which you can get on Amazon for $149, but it often goes on sale for even cheaper. And no, the original model isn’t going away.
Mophie Space Pack
iPhone battery cases are always popular, largely because everybody who has an iPhone is always complaining that their battery is almost dead. None of that is news for anybody — so what makes this product interesting?
The Mophie Space Pack has extra storage for your iPhone along with your extended battery. While it can’t directly extend your built-in iOS storage, Mophie has an app that you can use to access videos, files, and pictures, and you can plug it directly into your computer to load it up with files.
We can only assume that in the very near future, everybody will be making cases combined with storage space and the market will be flooded with knock-offs. But for now, this is a rather interesting idea that nobody has come up with before. Kudos to them. And whatever the opposite of kudos is to Apple for making a phone that has such a small battery that an entire industry of battery cases has spawned from it.
You can get it in either 16 GB or 32 GB models, and it’ll be shipping in a few months.
ChefJet Candy Printer
Yes, that is 3D printed candy.
3D printing has been all the rage for a while now, with the couple of main vendors constantly improving their printer functionality. What was originally just 3D-printed plastic has been adapted and improved to the point where now you can use 3D printing to make amazing things with all sorts of different materials. Many of these printers are actually affordable to own in your own house — sure, they aren’t cheap yet, but they cost less than a big screen TV did just a few years ago.
ChefJet in action
Now they’ve taken things to a completely different level with the 3D Systems ChefJet printer that can print candy in any shape you can imagine, using flavors like chocolate, mint, vanilla, and even watermelon. They have one that prints in monochrome and runs $5000, and then a pro model that prints in full color and costs double.
So maybe it isn’t practical yet for the home user. But imagine if you own a bakery or a high-end restaurant — you could print out all sorts of weird and interesting combinations for after dinner mints, or make a cake topper with the Eiffel Tower in candy.
Get ready for some really weird looking candy.
Curved and Bendable 4K TVs Everywhere
Everybody’s got a super high resolution 4K TV these days, and everywhere we went they were on display in all their glory. It doesn’t matter how close you get to the TV, you aren’t going to see any pixels, though you will get a weird look from the rep when you’ve got your face planted half an inch from the screen. How else are we supposed to see if there are pixels?
There’s nothing really new with 4K TVs this time around, other than everybody having one. What is new, though, is the plethora of curved TV models, some of which bend on command. You can literally press a button and the TV curves towards you to give you more of a feel of being immersed in the content, almost like 3D without glasses. As if we needed to inject Geico ads into our brains more easily.
The one thing that you really are going to need to watch out for is the refresh rate on monitors and TVs — some of the vendors are pushing models that drop down to a 30Hz refresh rate when using the 4K resolution, which is different than the usual 60 or even 120Hz. You don’t want to go cheap on the refresh rate.
While the 4K TVs are amazing and beautiful in person, when viewing 4K content, it’s probably not worth even thinking about upgrading to one at this point since there isn’t much, if any, content for them, and they are going to be really pricey.
But boy are they pretty.
The Linksys Blue Router is Back
That’s right, the Linksys blue router is finally back. After being acquired from Cisco by Belkin, they have decided to bring back the blue router that we know and love, and make it modern, open-source, and really interesting.
This new router will support 802.11ac, has a dual-core 1.2 GHz processor, eSATA and USB3 ports for hooking up a network hard drive, gigabit ports, and it’ll support up to 1.3 Gbps over Wi-Fi. They are actually releasing all sorts of information to open source firmware developers to make sure that there is support for the Open WRT firmware, and DD-WRT / Tomato will probably be right behind.
The only knock against this router is the price, which is definitely not cheap at $299. But it’s got a ton of features, so choose wisely.
MetaWatch and Cogito Smartwatches
MetaWatch’s Meta is on the left, Cogito Original is on the right.
Yeah, we’re definitely fans of the Pebble smartwatches, but at CES there were a ton of choices, including a few that stood out from the crowd. The MetaWatch displays a lot of information in a really nice looking watch, and the Cogito goes minimal with the data but looks good, and has one killer feature: the battery lasts for a year, and is replaceable. Neither of them are available quite yet, but we’ll be getting some review products in the door at some point, and we’ll let you know then.
The External Battery Pack that Can Jump Start Your Car
We already talked about this one the other day, but we liked it so much that we decided to include it again. This external battery pack not only has dual USB ports for charging your smartphones and tablets, but it comes with jumper cables… so you can jump start your car if need be. Did we mention it has a 3-function LED flashlight too? You can get your own right now on Amazon for under a hundred bucks.
The Crazy AORUS X7 Dual-GPU Gaming Laptop
Just like the previous item in the list, we covered this announcement the other day, but any time you put two NVIDIA graphics cards running in SLI into a single laptop that measures less than an inch thick, you deserve to get a second mention. This thing is a beast of a laptop, with a blazing fast i7 processor, up to 32 GB of RAM, dual SSDs, and support for 3 external monitors. TheAORUS X7 is a crazy laptop that is much more than most people would ever need to use, and with pricing at well over $2k, is more than most people can afford.
But that’s exactly what CES is all about.

CES 2014: Top 10 trends to expect from the biggest technology and gadget show in the world
If you’re a fan of technology, then set your sights towards the bright lights of Las Vegas for the next week.
The annual Consumer Electronic Show begins on Sunday, and as one of the world’s largest gadget exhibitions, it usually sets the tech tone for the 12 months ahead.
It's usually a head-spinning amalgamation of bleeding edge technology and bleeding stupid ideas that offer an insight into what the digital future holds.
Everything from washing machines, televisions and car accessories are going to be on show next week.
So what can we expect from the showfloor? Here are the top 10 trends to watch for at the best gadget show in the world.
10. Wearable Technology
The tech talk of 2014 will be around gadgets that you wear - from smart watches on your wrist to gizmos embedded in your
9. Quantified Self
This is the term used for technology that allows you to monitor your health and fitness, such as gadgets that check how far you’ve walked or how well you are sleeping. At CES 2014 we are likely to see the start of an expansion to wider medical monitoring and care within your home keeping a healthcheck on you 24/7.
8. Connected Home
From smart meters to monitor your power consumption to the Internet of Things joining up all of your home appliances, this year should finally be the one when technology merges more closely within our houses and flats - controlled via mobiles and handheld computers. It will build on already clever advances such as the Nest smoke alarm which hooks into your broadband router to send you alerts.
7. Connected Cars
Vehicles like Nissan’s 100% electric LEAF can already be turned on and warmed up from your phone - and 2014 will see technology front and centre for car production. Connected to 4G as you drive thanks to a car-based SIM and with features controlled via smartphones, embedded tech will become standard. A range of futuristic concepts are expected from the likes of Audi and Ford, including solar-powered fuel and driver-less cars.
6. 4K TVs
The next-generation to today’s high-definition television sets, 4K has come down in price over the last two years as more manufacturers adopt it. This week saw Polaroid announce a 50inch one for under $1,0000 and CES will see many more makers of TVs show off their own. Greater competition in this market will drive down price allowing the quality advance in pictures to invade more living rooms.
5. Bigger Tablets, Less Computers
Once the CES showfloor was filled with rows and rows of desktop computers and laptops. This year their number will have shrunk to just a handful replaced by large screen tablets and hybrid touchscreen/keyboard portables. More high profile tablets will be unveiled at Mobile World Congress in February but this should give a flavour of what to expect.
4. Curved TVs
Samsung and LG are experimenting with these displays to provide a different sort of viewing angle to the traditional flat straight panel. It will be a long while until they become cheap enough to be mainstream but it’s an exciting glimpse at the future of a gadget that’s the mainstay of most of our lives.
3. 3D Printing
Cheaper 3D printers are needed if this technology is going to take off. And CES will be the place to find them. It’s expected prices could be as low as $500 for an entry-level system, way down from the $2000+ of a couple of years back. This could allow many more schools and colleges to experiment with this new kind of manufacturing.
2. No Apple appearance
Apple don’t go to CES but their influence will be felt all around the show. Gadgets and devices designed to work with its iOS operating system will be in every corner and apps for the iPhone or iPad will be on display, connecting or bridging the gap between devices. Google won’t be quiet though and we could see the arrival of the latest Nexus 10.
1. Random Highlights
CES always throws up a host of technology that makes headlines and looks good in pictures or video but is unlikely ever to find its way into your own life. From the world’s largest TVs to golden or jewelled-encrusted devices, you’ll find a wealth of random and often downright weird tech on display to whet your tech appetite.
