Apple’s latest iPad Pro arrives powered by the M1 chip that has graced its most recent Macs. Alongside its 11-inch Liquid Retina display, you’ll be able to count on all of the power of a MacBook thanks to Thunderbolt connectivity and Wi-Fi 6 support.

Magic: The Gathering Arena will be implementing a unique new card animation in its next update, allowing players to acquire 3D versions of cards they already own. The new feature will be called “card styles” and will be introduced in Arena’s next major update, following a long period of the beta remaining relatively unchanged outside of a few select quality-of-life changes. Magic Arena is the central conceit of Magic’s esports plan in 2019, and will soon feature as the platform of choice for Wizards of the Coast’s Mythic Invitational tournament....

It’s called Mailtrack. Mailtrack is a free Google Chrome extension that brings the delivery marks you usually get on instant messaging applications, to email accounts (it supports only Gmail for now). The tool is fairly straightforward, a single tick next to your email dictates that it has been delivered to the end server and a double green check suggests that it has been read by the recipient. You can even hover over the mark and see the receiver’s computing platform, how many times it was opened, and the time of course....

Apple dropped prices on current MacBook Air refurbs last night so that the base model now starts at just $829. That’s $30 lower than yesterday and could mean Apple’s clearing some inventory out for a refresh, perhaps as soon as WWDC. Or, perhaps not. Thanks Jay!

Apple recently launched the 2022 refresh of its lightest MacBook, but the 2020 version, with its M1 chipset, is still going strong for me. I bought a gold 8GB/256/7 core GPU MacBook Air in early January 2021, making it a year and a half of ownership since then. The MacBook Air form factor has always been my favorite – the early ’90s HP Omnibook 300 spoiled me for any notebook over three pounds – and I’ve owned a half-dozen since the 2nd generation SSD version....

It’s not surprising that Mac sales dropped for Apple in 2016 as they experienced their first year over year sales decline since 2001. What is interesting, however, is that as Mac sales dropped roughly 10% and personal computers overall dropped 5.7% for the year, the top four leaders in the market all saw growth as Apple was pushed to number five. Although Mac sales were up in Q4 2016 compared to Q4 2015, an analyst note today from Bloomberg’s Anand Srinivasan and Wei Mok has revealed Apple has dropped to the fifth largest PC vendor, with ASUS (ASUSTeK) overtaking fourth place....

Cross-platform media center Plex is one of those programs that you’d expect from Apple. Sure, Mac OS X has FrontRow, but seriously – when was the last time you enjoyed your media in FrontRow? It’s a lousy media center replacement that most people avoid so no wonder it’s lingering in a state of limbo. I’ve been using Plex for years to manage and enjoy my media collections on my desktop. Their awesome iOS app that lets me stream my media effortlessly to iPhones, iPods and iPads was the only missing link....

On the surface, the progress made by Magic: The Gathering this year leading up to the Magic World Championship XXVI has been staggering. Going from a mostly tabletop offering supplemented by a pretty bare bones online client in Magic: The Gathering Online to a lucrative esport with star-studded invitational tournaments is a vast improvement aesthetically. In a world where League of Legends and CS:GO routinely pull massive viewership numbers on Twitch thanks to the dynamic elements in their play, a card game even coming mildly close to that same reach is a testament to just how fertile the ground MTG Arena planted its flag in really is....
