Mac Doesn’t Clash … Yeah Right
I think it is pure marketing gimmick when Apple has sold the idea that Mac will never clash. I mean for the last two weeks, my Macbook Pro has been going weird for me. For some unknown reasons, it will go into the ‘circle of death’. For some who are unfamiliar with what this is, [...]
