You’ve probably already seen the video - or at least a still from it - but I just wanted to comment on the 🎵musical part - 🔗📼 just so good

🔗 Apple’s pro bundle makes sense, but making iWork freemium doesn’t.
CORRECT
A feature to make building formulas and tables in Numbers is, somehow, limited to people paying $129 a year for Final Cut? A feature to make it easier for someone to build a Keynote presentation out of their notes is only available for someone shelling out $129 for Logic or Pixelmator?

🔗 Mad magazine autostereogram, cutecore
