OS X 10.10.3 and Photos

by
Apple released the update for Yosemite, 10.10.3, yesterday. You can get it through the Mac App Store if it doesn't show up as an update or you can download the combo updater if you didn't updated to 10.10.2. With 10.10.3, comes the new Photos app. iMore.com has a good post about using Photos with multiple Macs. The post assumes that the different Macs are using the same iCloud account, however. If you are using different iCloud accounts on the different Macs, you would use the Shared tab and create a Shared Album.

Article: iPad Air 2 Review: Why the iPad Became My Main Computer

by
Federico Viticci at MacStories.net has an interesting article about how he uses an iPad Air 2 as his main computer for both work and fun.
I'm typing this article on an iPad Air 2 using Editorial in portrait mode. This has become my favorite way to “create and consume content” and it's a good demonstration of the iPad's raison d'être for someone who also owns an iPhone and a Mac... ...I can write blog posts, respond to emails, look up recipes, prepare for podcasts, and watch videos while I hold my iPad upright as a book and it feels great. This isn't just a marvel of engineering – it's a profound approach to truly personal computing. I have a 10-inch display that's always connected to the Internet and can come with me anywhere. Isn't that awesome? There's more, however, to the iPad Air 2 than its profile and heft (or lack thereof).
