turn off force touch


On both my Mac Pro and Mac Air I catch myself using both force touch and tap to click at random times. I have no idea why I do both, but I do.

That slab of pixels IS beautiful..but I can't justify a reason to buy it . What about it makes it a must for business savvy users?

Also..what is the point of go pro app on the watch? an expensive Bluetooth controller?

Surface Pro runs full Windows and supports Google play apps.


The pencil accessory looks a lot more sophisticated than the typical pen stylus you get with the Surface and other tablets.

EDIT: I thought it was rumored $799 starting price, same as Surface Pro 3.

What I don't get is why they're sticking to iOS with the Pro... why not OS X?

Seems like a missed opportunity to be a surface killer, but an OSX iPad Pro would really eat into MBA and MBP sales, and Apple tends to avoid cannibalizing.

EDIT: Damn, Microsoft and Adobe.
