The Verge redesign: an analysis
Disclaimer: this is a translation from the original post in Spanish at Incognitosis, my personal blog. The Unshut was a project to write in English about tech, but I decided to stop a couple of years ago and it hasn’t been updated since. This post has been translated with DeepL and lightly edited. Apologies for…

The Apple M1 changes everything
Forty-nine minutes were enough for Apple. Boom. That’s how long yesterday’s long-awaited keynote, with a very special title, ‘One more thing’, lasted. During this time Apple focused totally and exclusively on presenting its first computers with the Apple M1 chip, a processor that, I believe, changes everything. It does so because it proposes an unparalleled…

Waiting for an ARM MacBook based on iOS
We will talk about this again in a couple of weeks, but it is impossible for me not to write a post about it today, of course. I can’t hold it in. I never have. Next June 22nd Apple will hold its WWDC 2020 event – only in the online format because of the COVID-19…

Welcome to Microsoft’s definitive surrender on smartphones
In May 2017 Satya Nadella made a revealing comment. “Our next phones won’t look like phones,” he said, opening the door to a return to a field in which they had failed completely with Windows Phone and that Windows 10 also tried to conquer our smartphones. It did not succeed on that occasion either, so…

Google Glass is back, but nothing is really different
When Google Glass was launched in April 2012 almost everyone got excited. Augmented Reality was the star of the hype cycle back then, and the possibilities for the device seemed endless. Three years later the product collapsed. Privacy and security issues proved to be too important both for Google and users, which became less and…

Apple: thanks for making the iPhone more expensive, dear journalists
Apple knows well how to play with expectations. They usually disappoint when they launch products, but the disappointment isn’t as big as it could be thanks to big and small media sites. Those sites (like The Unshut) are happy to talk about every single possible and hypothetical detail on the future Apple smartphones, and all…

Nokia 3310: the immortal phone
I do not remember the exact model, but my father had a Nokia with incredible speakers. I would say that the whole building was aware of when somebody called him, but that technological prodigy (at that time) also had other advantages shared by the devices of the time. Among others, of course, was those batteries…

The ARM MacBook that will (never?) come
Apple Inc. is designing a new chip for future Mac laptops that would take on more of the functionality currently handled by Intel Corp. processors, according to people familiar with the matter. The new report comes from Bloomberg, and there we can find (not much) information about the codenamed T310, an ARM chip that would…

Nintendo Switch and the curse of being original
I’ve never been a Nintendo user. This legendary maker has always developed consoles and franchise games which always seemed childish to me. Too simplistic, too faithful to a type of games that no longer were what I was looking for. Too loyal to their heritage. I did my little experiment a few years ago with…
