This week in Australian tech — ‘Facebook News’, Aussie Nintendo Switch Kickstarter and Mackenzie ‘Mac’ Book
It was a big week for the newly relaunched glossblog.com.au. Here are some of the bigger stories:
Microsoft travelled to Australia to meet ‘Mac Book’
Normally I’d say these kinds of weird attack ads are lame, but Microsoft’s new Apple diss is presented by an Australian guy named Mackenzie Book, or Mac Book for short. A+ to whoever thought it up.
But what does Mac Book prefer? The Surface Pro 2 of course.
CommBank gave its app another go
One of the design tweaks is an increase to text size, which has become a trend of late with plenty of the default iOS apps and Samsung’s One UI going for big headings and font bumps. The app now also has a set of “wallpapers”, moving away from the weird ‘beach’ background used in previous versions.
