Vibe coding app's victory lap cut very short by the App Store open_in_new

The vibe-coding app Anything was pulled from the App Store, but the developer claimed victory after a return. Victory was fleeting, as the app is gone again, and nobody is saying why.
App Store boots Anything, again
Anything, a vibe-coding app for iOS that was pulled from the App Store, made a triumphant return on April 3. It celebrated by launching a $5,000 weekend hackathon and a credit giveaway on X, but that was seemingly premature.
Checking the App Store on Monday, Anything is nowhere to be found. It doesn't appear in searches, while a direct link to the app warns it's not available.

Apple at 50: Michael Spindler, the CEO who brought in the clones open_in_new

Apple Insider

He's Apple's Chief Operating Officer who became the CEO — but he's not Tim Cook. Instead, this was how Michael Spindler replaced John Sculley, and made himself ill trying to save the company in the 1990s.

Michael Scott was the first Apple CEO, brought in by Mike Markkula, who became the second CEO when Scott was shown the door. Markkula was then responsible along with Steve Jobs for recruiting John Sculley, until he was also shown the exit sign.
But while it was Sculley who made Spindler Chief Operating Officer, and then it was the board that made him CEO, Markkula was again behind all of this. It was Markkula who recruited Spindler to join Apple in September 1980.

AMD or Nvidia eGPUs can work on Apple Silicon Macs, but not for graphic acceleration open_in_new

Apple Insider
• 3d ago
Apple has signed a driver for AMD or Nvidia eGPUs connected to Apple Silicon but there are some big caveats, and it won't improve your graphics. Here's what they're for.
An earlier time when you could use eGPUs with Macs
When Apple announced the use of eGPUs with AMD Radeon cards in 2016, we were pretty excited. Full support shipped in early 2017 and for a few short years, Thunderbolt provided an excellent graphics-accelerating one-cable dock to our MacBook Pros.
But even then, Apple has stubbornly prevented modern Nvidia GPUs from working with Macs. And, with the change to Apple Silicon, Apple effectively killed off any real use of an externally usable Nvidia GPU with its Mac lineup.

Google finally bringing Gemini app to Mac after Apple partnership open_in_new

Apple Insider
• 2w ago
As everyone waits for the new Apple Foundation Models trained by Gemini, Google is pushing ahead on bringing a native Gemini app to the Mac. It'll be similar to those offered by Anthropic and OpenAI.
Macs could finally get a Gemini app
Apple and Google have always been uneasy partners. Google Maps predated Apple Maps on iPhone, and Google is always slow to adopt new Apple APIs in its apps.
Some of that has shifted in Apple's favor since the Gemini partnership was announced. First, a native YouTube app was finally released on Apple Vision Pro, and now Gemini is getting a native app on Mac.
