Touchscreen MacBook may emerge despite Steve Jobs warning
Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs), Apple\'s co-founder, opposed adding a touchscreen to the MacBook, arguing it was not suitable for long use. At a 2010 \"Back to the Mac\" event, he said prolonged screen touching could cause fatigue and reduce precision, favouring trackpads and mice instead. Apple kept that policy, though it later tried the Touch Bar. Recent foreign reports say Apple is preparing an OLED touchscreen MacBook Pro, though there is no official announcement.

Apple macOS 27 seen focusing on performance and polish, Snow Leopard-style update draws attention
Apple\'s next Mac operating system, macOS 27, to be unveiled at WWDC 2026, may focus on performance and stability rather than adding new features, according to a report. Industry watchers compare the approach to 2009\'s Snow Leopard, which emphasised speed and reliability. Bloomberg\'s Mark Gurman has also pointed to software quality and foundational performance as goals. The update may refine the Liquid Glass design in macOS Tahoe to improve readability and usability.

Mac OS X runs on Nintendo Wii, with mouse and keyboard support
A porting project that runs Mac OS X directly on Nintendo\'s Wii has been unveiled, drawing attention for executing the operating system at the hardware level rather than through emulation. Engineer Bryan Keller succeeded in booting the 2001 Mac OS X \"Cheetah\" on the console by analysing PowerPC compatibility, working around Wii\'s 88MB memory, and modifying open-source Darwin code. The work included a new bootloader, custom device drivers and video output conversion, and now supports mouse and keyboard input.
