Although Mac and iPad are still two different products, Apple is trying to bridge the gap between desktop and mobile platforms, introducing a series of continuous interoperability features such as Handoff, Universal Clipboard, etc., to give users a seamless, cross-device experience on Mac, iPad, and iPhone. And Apple’s move to further narrow the difference between the two platforms is the “Project Catalyst”, which will make it easier for developers to migrate iPad apps to Mac.

Starting with macOS 10.15 Catalina and Xcode 11, developers can use UIKit to create iPad apps for Mac. UIKit is a development framework for Apple and has only been available for iOS apps so far. However, after the Project Catalyst starts, adding macOS support for iPad apps will be as simple as opening an Xcode project and clicking a Mac checkbox under General > Deployment Info.

Apple’s developer documentation shows that the iPad Apps ported to macOS can run the same framework, resources, and environment on a Mac as a traditional Mac App.

The iPad Apps for Mac support many of the macOS features as default, such as:

– Default menu bar for the application
– Support for touchpad, mouse and keyboard input
– Support for window resizing and full screen display
– Mac style scroll bar
– Copy/Paste support
– Drag and drop support
– Support for system touch bar control

Users who have been paying attention to Apple WWDC should not be strangers to this project. Last year, Apple previewed the project codenamed Marzipan on WWDC 18, which is designed to allow developers to port iOS apps to macOS. In fact, earlier than that, Bloomberg News has revealed Apple’s iOS – macOS application migration plan for the first time.

After the Marzipan project was announced, Apple used the first-party App as an example to port the ipad version of Apple News, Home, stock and voice memos to macOS Mojave. Now “Marzipan” has been renamed to “Catalyst”, third-party developers can Following Apple’s approach in macOS Catalina. Third-party developers can follow Apple’s approach in macOS Catalina, bringing their own apps to the desktop and moving them to a broader application scenario.

Then it will start to request permission for downloading other apps, including three adware i.e. a fake advanced Mac Cleaner, browser hijacker Safe Finder, and hotel reservation app Booking.com.

Unfortunately, Mughthesec didn’t alarm the built-in protection of macOS. Malwarebytes believed the only wait to eliminate Mughthesec is to reinstall macOS.

Apple is preparing a big update to its MacBook Pro line of laptops. The company is planning to replace the function keys on the MacBook Pro with an OLED touch bar, and now Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is confirming the initial reports, according to KGI Securities analyst Ming-chi Kuo. The new MacBook Pros are said to be slightly thinner than current models, with a wider trackpad and an option for amd polaris graphics in at least one model.

Bloomberg says that Apple doesn’t intend to launch the new MacBook Pros at an event on September 7th, where it’s expected to release a new iPhone and additional Apple Watch model.

Apple is also expected to include USB Type-C on the new MacBook Pro, alongside a Touch ID fingerprint reader. Bloomberg said, “Apple has tested versions of the upcoming laptops that integrate the scanner beside the new function key display.”

Apple is also rumored to be considering gray, gold, and silver color options for the new MacBook Pro.

The most intriguing addition to the MacBook Pro is the secondary display above the keyboard. Designed to replace the function keys, Bloomberg reports that it will be a strip like screen that shows functions on a task-by-task basis and will simplify keyboard shortcuts. The panel could show media controls when iTunes is open or cut and paste commands when Microsoft Word is running.

However, Apple hasn’t announced an official date for its iPhone event (rumored for September 7th) yet, and it is possible the company could now refreash its MacBook Pro line without an onstage event.

It can be annoying when you have to wait for a long time to browse on the web page. To make the browser faster to run, Google introduced a new compression algorithm last September, which is called Brotli. According to Google, Brotli will be able to make Google Chrome to load web pages much faster than you’ve experienced up until now.

Brotli is an open source data compression, and an completely new data offering 20-26% greater compression than Chrome’s existing Zopfli. 2013 saw the first release of Brotli in 2013, this version is built for off-line compression of web fonts. Another release in September 2015 by the Google engineer contains enhancements in generic lossless data compression.

Google announced Brotli in September last year, claiming that this this new compression  algorithm will be able to compress data up to 26% more than the currently used compression engine, Zopfli. The improvement is such a meaningful jump.

Google Chrome mainly rivals to some famous browsers like Firefox, IE, Safari. Associated test showed that Google Chrome ranked the first in the browser speed test. Packed with new algorithm, Chrome might continue to maintain a leading position.

Google’s web performance engineer IIya Grigorik said that Brotli was ready to roll out. Chrome users would be able to see a bump in load time when Google launched the next version of Chrome.

“lower data transfer fees and reduced battery use” is what users can experience with the new compression algorithm. Google also expresses hopes that Brotli can be adopted not only in Chrome, but also some other browsers before long. One of Google Chrome’s counterpart Firefox seems to follow Chrome and adopt the new compression algorithm in its future updates. With a faster web page loading, this new algorithm might be seen in more browsers in the future.

The Chrome users can expect to experience a faster web pages loading this week.
