Here are a few other bits and pieces rounded up from this morning. I nearly didn’t make it to the end after a 40 minute recap of stuff everyone already knew about iOS 8 & Yosemite right at the start. Oh and the dad jokes. So many dad jokes.<\/p>\n

Dammit Hair Dad, stop making that Keynote document and get on with the freakin’ hardware specs.<\/em><\/p>\n

Of course, there was the iPad Air 2<\/a>, and iPad Mini 3<\/a>, but what else?<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"imac-retina\"<\/div>\n

iMac with retina<\/strong> was announced with a ridonkulous<\/em>\u00a05K display (that’s\u00a05120px by 2880px, for those playing at home).<\/p>\n

They made a big deal of the tech in this thing. I learned that timing controllers are a thing, oxide TFTs are good, and something something organic passivation.<\/p>\n

It starts at AU$2,999 and goes up to\u00a0AU$5,368 if you max it out (of course, I know you will do this yourself too).<\/p>\n

\"macmini\"<\/div>\n

Mac Mini<\/strong> got an update for the first time in about a thousand years. Nothing massive, but a nice little bump to bring it back into the year 2014. I look forward to the next update in late 2018.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Macs, OS X 10.10\u00a0Yosemite<\/a>\u00a0should be available now, and it’s free. I’ll be doing that on my MacBook Pro this arvo.<\/p>\n

iOS 8.1<\/strong> is on the way, and promises to be a bit less buggy and generally annoying. I also noticed that a few apps that were in the last iOS 8 demo (for Health.app, and iOS 8 actions) were gone. No applying a filter via VSCO Cam, and no Fitbit. Hmmmm….<\/p>\n

They’re also rolling out a beta of the new iCloud Photo Library, if that’s your thing.<\/p>\n

Apple Pay<\/strong> stuff is on the way in the US next week, but\u00a0no word on when it’ll come to our shores.<\/p>\n

They kept mentioning the Apple Watch<\/strong>, which\u00a0<\/strong>totally-exists-and-haha-we-are-using-them-and-you-can’t-haha<\/em>, but still nothin’ for details or prices. Comes out early 2015, which we already knew.<\/p>\n

Finally, Eddie Cue did this to a security guy.<\/p>\n
