On Friday, 2 February 2018, at 19:00hrs, HDD Gallery will host a discussion with Boris Ljubičić, one of the most important Croatian designers of the older generation, an internationally recognized author whose work left an important mark, not only on the design scene, over a span of more than four decades. The occasion for Conversation with Boris Ljubičić is his exhibition, the Singularity of Plural – Symbol, Sign, Logo, Brand which is set in the HDD Gallery until 6 February.
The moderator of the conversation is the curator of the current exhibition and the head of HDD Gallery, Marko Golub.

EXPERTS SLAM ZUCKERBERG: FACEBOOK IS NOT FOR KIDS
Experts have addressed an open letter to Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg, stressing that making an app for children younger than 13 is an irresponsible way to encourage children to use Facebook.
Experts believe children are not ready to have profiles on social networks, the BBC reports.
An app that they are complaining about, better known as Facebook for kids, is a simplified version of Facebook with limited content.
In an open letter signed by 110 children’s rights activists, it is stated that children are not mature enough to understand the complexity of the online world relationships, which often lead to quarreling even among older users.
APPLE WILL ALLEGEDLY LAUNCH THREE NEW MACS THIS YEAR WITH A PROPRIETARY APPLE CHIP
Apple plans to put custom processors inside at least three more Macs by the end of the year, according to Bloomberg. There are no details on what the chips will be used for, but the report says they’ll appear in updated laptops and a new desktop.
Though Apple has been making custom chips for its phones, tablets, and wearables for years now, the company is only just starting to bring its house-made chips to the Mac. That started in a small way in 2016 with the high-end MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, which included a chip that was used to run the Touch Bar and Touch ID. Then last month, Apple included a custom chip inside the iMac Pro that handled, among other things, audio, camera processing, and encryption.
Apple’s increased usage of its own chips could mean big things for the future of the Mac. It shows a reduced need to wait on other companies for improvements, and it allows Apple even deeper integration of hardware and software. But perhaps the most important thing here is that it seems to move Apple ever closer to using its own chips as the core processor inside the Mac.
With the iPhone and iPad, Apple has shown that it’s able to create processors that hugely outperform rivals. There are a lot of hurdles stopping Apple from just swapping in its own chips in place of the Intel-made ones that are currently inside Macs, so it’s not likely that’ll happen anytime soon. But the more Apple-made chips that make their way into the Mac, the closer we seem to get to that perhaps inevitable future.
