How to change the sorting order for iTunes albums »
One major annoyance I had with iTunes was how it sorted albums. I love how iOS sorts the albums by the year they are released (starting with the most recent). This allows me to easily listen to an artist’s back catalog or newer albums. On the desktop, all of my albums were sorted by title. After some digging, I finally found where I can change that setting.

512 Pixels: New MacBook Pro rumored »
It’s always exciting to speculate on shiny new hardware updates from Apple, and that’s exactly what we got this week. Stephen Hackett (512 Pixels) summarized a rumor from MacRumors that tells of new 13″ and 15″ MacBook Pros. Following the lead of the new MacBook, the Pro line will be thinner, but also include some completely unique tricks, like an OLED display touch bar for function menu items, Touch ID, and more. We won’t know for sure until much later this year (Q4 2016!), but it’s always fun to speculate.
