Apple is Closing a Unionized Store in the U.S. and the Union is 'Outraged' Apple to Close First Unionized U.S. Store in Maryland Amid Union Backlash Apple has confirmed it will permanently close three retail stores in the United States this June, including its historic Towson Town Center location in Maryland. The announcement has sparked a fierce response from the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM CORE), as the Towson store became the first Apple retail location in the U.S. to successfully unionize in 2022. While Apple attributed the closures to "declining conditions" and the departure of other major retailers at the Towson Town Center, Trumbull Mall (Connecticut), and North County Mall (California), the union has labeled the move a "cynical attempt to bust the union." Unlike the other two closing locations where staff were offered immediate transfers, Towson employees must re-apply for open roles within the company, a distinction the union claims is a direct violation of their collective bargaining agreement. #Apple #AppleStore #Union #Towson #Maryland #TechNews #LaborRights #RetailNews #IAMCORE #MacRumors #9to5Mac #FondPeace

Apple Mac Shipments Grew 9% in Q1 2026, Outpacing Overall PC Market Apple Mac Shipments Outpace Market With 9 Percent Growth in Q1 2026 Apple’s Mac shipments grew by approximately 9.1% during the first quarter of 2026, significantly outperforming the broader PC market's modest 2.5% increase. According to preliminary data from IDC, Apple shipped roughly 5.2 million units, securing a 9.5% share of the global personal computer market. Analysts attribute this surge to the strong reception of the M5-powered MacBook Pro models released late last year, alongside sustained momentum in the commercial and enterprise sectors.

Mac OS X Cheetah Successfully Ported to Nintendo Wii Developer Bryan Keller Just Ported Mac OS X 10.0 Cheetah to the Nintendo Wii In a breakthrough for the retro-modding community, developer Bryan Keller has successfully ported Mac OS X 10.0 Cheetah to run natively on the Nintendo Wii. The project, which was previously deemed a "zero percent chance" by skeptics, utilizes the Wii’s PowerPC 750CL processor, a relative of the chips used in early G3 Macs. To make the port possible, Keller wrote a custom bootloader, patched the OS X kernel source code, and developed custom drivers for the Wii's unique hardware architecture. While the system currently lacks sound and hardware acceleration, it supports essential peripherals like USB mice and keyboards, effectively turning the legacy console into a functional Mac system. #NintendoWii #MacOSX #Cheetah #Homebrew #BryanKeller #RetroComputing #PowerPC #AppleNews #TechInnovation #FondPeace
