It was a rainy Sunday in many parts of Spain, including the Canary Islands, and this morning we had some showers on the island of Gran Canaria, which is where I am writing these lines from. Rain or not, here is the compilation of the most viewed news on our blog in the week ending today.
It has been a somewhat atypical week and it is that for reasons beyond my control I have not been with you for almost a week. So let's get down to business and start with today's compilation.
The first news that we want to present to you is the one that spoke of recognition to what you are going to receive Tim Cook on behalf of the University of Glasgow. Next Wednesday, February 8, Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, will be awarded an honorary doctorate of science by the University of Glasgow. This has been made official by the university itself through an official press release.
Again we have here the promotion of Apple and the back to class in Australia, New Zealand and Japan, and in this case what we have is that the promotion will be valid from next February 7 to March 17, entering it the purchase of an iMac, a Mac Pro, the 12-inch MacBook, the new MacBook Pro with or without Touch Bar, the MacBook Air, and finally the new iPad Pro.
Another piece of news that has penetrated this week is the one that assured that Apple was going to present some supposed VR glasses. On February 5, in the well-known program “This week in technology”, the possibility was discussed by Apple, of presenting a helmet or glasses for virtual reality by the well-known firm of photography lenses Carl Zeiss. In the program they participated Leo Laporte, Georgia Dow, and Peter Cohen and host Scoble didn't give much more information on what's posted so far, but they did. they advanced a possible announcement for the summer of 2017 or first months of 2018.
It seems that the last beta launched a couple of weeks ago hints at references to the new Apple MacBook Pros. These teams that would be listed in the beta according to the medium Pike's UniversumThey will be the ones that will arrive at the end of this year 2017 and will have the Kaby Lake processor integrated with all the improvements that it can bring to the MacBook Pro.
As many of you already know, the construction of the new Apple campus in California It is in its final stretch and, if nothing unforeseen arises, before the summer arrives the workers will meet in the new headquarters. And although we thought we knew practically everything about the new building, now, a new report published by the Reuters news agency reveals more about this "spacecraft" Steve Jobs himself had a lot to do with its design.
To finish this compilation we remind you of the article that reported on the Microsoft Office compatibility with the Touch Bar. The compatibility with the applications and different work tools of the new OLED touch bar of the MacBook Pro 2016 is at least somewhat fair, but it is true that all the developers of applications and work tools are putting the batteries to include useful options to the new complement of the MacBook Pro. Apple already showed interest in bringing Microsoft's office suite to their computers a long time ago and now what we have on the table is the option of use these tools on our Mac with the compatibility in the Touch Bar.
Without further ado, we can only wish you a happy Sunday and that you enjoy the remaining hours of rest to the fullest before a new week begins that will surely come loaded with news and updates related to the company on the block.
