Keeping your work space tidy is important. There are a variety of ways to do this, and it all comes down to the devices you have in front of you. And how you want it all to look, of course. So this week we're looking at some great stands for your MacBook Air and/or MacBook Pro.
In early June, Tim Cook, Apple's CEO, confirmed that the company's plans to have people back in the office were moving forward. Namely, the company would be leaning into a "hybrid" work-from-home and in the office experience for its corporate employees. But, even with this newfound flexibility, some employees aren't thrilled.
Qualcomm is still a leader in chip technologies for a range of products, and that probably won't change in the near future. Mostly because there are other companies out there that need chips of all types besides Apple. But while Apple is making strides, and huge improvements, in this market, Qualcomm's chief executive believes his company can overtake Apple.
Apple considers in-person work part of the experience. Part of the company culture at a very basic level. But working from home has become the go-to option for many companies and people, a forced result of the global pandemic. So plans had to change, and they keep changing.
Technically speaking, Spotify users who upgraded their computer to a Mac outfitted with Apple's custom M1 processor didn't lose support for the music streaming service's desktop app. However, the official, public version doesn't natively support Apple's new chip architecture right now.

Earlier this week, Apple seeded the first public betas of iOS 15, iPadOS 15, watchOS 8, and tvOS 15 to the public beta testers out there in the wild. Unfortunately, macOS 12 Monterey did not make the initial cut. But now Apple's here to fix that issue.
It hasn't been all that long since Microsoft officially announced the next major update to its wildly popular Windows desktop operating system. With Windows 11, the company is welcoming a lot of big changes to the mix, some major polish across the UI, and much more. And support is in the works for macOS, too.
In today's age, Apple releases both minor and major software updates for all of its platforms as a free update. Which is good! But, there used to be a time when that was not the case. Now, Apple's making it possible to download older versions of Mac OS for free that used to not be.
Apple is already a couple of developer betas in for the next big updates to its major platforms, but the time has finally arrived for the first public betas to make their way out into the wild.

Back in January of last year, it was reported that Masimo, a health care technology company, was suing Apple. According to the company, Apple was stealing trade secrets related to health monitoring features baked into the Apple Watch.

And now things are ramping up again.
