Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo Says A-series Macs Really Are Coming
The clues are all there. Apple has a mind to move its Macs to the A-series CPU. We discussed this at length on our TDO podcast recently. And now, Ming-Chi Kuo of TF Securities has confirmed it.

The World's Largest Apple Collection is For Sale
An Austrian computer repairman has amassed what is possibly the world’s largest Apple collection, and it’s currently for sale.
Over the years since he began working for a company that repaired Apples in Vienna in the 1980s, Roland Borsky’s collection has grown to roughly 1,100 computers, he says – far more than the 472 items at Prague’s Apple Museum, which says it is the world’s biggest private collection of Apple products.
Now that his income has dried up, Borsky says he cannot afford the rent on his warehouse. He hopes that a benefactor will put his collection on display and pay off his debt of 20,000-30,000 euros ($23,000-35,000).
If someone doesn’t buy the collection it will have to be destroyed.
