Twitter finally updates Mac app

After Twitter has neglected its Mac app for so long, it’s good to see Twitter has kept good on its word to release a newly redesigned app to match its other desktop client, web, and mobile app counterparts. This new version gets features like inline video, animated GIFs, and Notification Center widget support. The look of the new app also works more with the design aesthetic of Mac OS X Yosemite and El Capitan. The app even has a new dark mode to match the dark theme introduced in Yosemite.

It also now supports group messaging, the ability to mute specific accounts, and it supports new quote style for retweeting. Unfortunately, it doesn’t support Twitter’s new poll feature just yet. Let’s hope Twitter continues to update this app and not just make this a one-off thing.

Apple Beat: Choices and Decisions

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

I recently posted my reviews for both the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus. I marvelled at the fact that in 2010, we had one iPad and one iPhone (albeit in different capacities and price points). Fast forward to 2014 and Apple has expanded their iOS device line considerably and there seems to be something for everyone.
