Appletell reports: "As you likely know by now, Apple has quietly changed its wired keyboard so that it no longer includes a number pad. One with a number pad can be swapped out if you buy online. In store, though, is a different story.
An Apple representative told me that in store purchases will come with the standard (no numbers) wired keyboard. This isn't unexpected, as order customization has never been available at Apple Stores if you buy a computer "off the shelf." The logic behind the change, though, is not really there."
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
A lot of Laptop keyboards don't have the number pad either. I can't say i really miss it all that much.
Well, they blatantly copied the macbookpro's design. even the 17" laptop doesn't have the number pad. (I have the 15.4" model) Wht's cool however, it's aluminium finish.
I think they removed it because it is more productive to type numbers when they are just above letters, imstead of being completely aside.
It sounds to me that Apple has a plan similar to Obama's election campaign: "CHANGE (even if it's pointlesss)"
@Nofansland: if you ever have to work your way through a spreadsheet or entering large amounts of data, you will love a numberpad.
Haha! Who needs two sets of numbers anyway.
Apple keyboards aren't intended for office monkeys.
When I worked in a office I would always use the keypad, but at home I rarely use it. Apple's keyboards are for home use.
Besides, I think Apple keyboards would be dangerous in the office. I wouldn't want hitting around the back of the head with a metal keyboard.
