Our core target users in the Creative Industries are (or aspire to be) in the business of producing creative deliverables. This includes users engaged in advertising & marketing, architecture, design, film, music, performing & visual arts, publishing, R&D, software, and games. The Problem Today, creative workflows demand above average time away from the desk. Solutions must simultaneously power mission-critical, professional creative, as well as, standard office software. This necessitates full-featured, pro desktop apps and workstation-level performance, deployed across a mobile environment. However, Apple splits its mobile offerings into macOS-based notebooks vs. iOS-based iPhone/iPad tablets. Clearly separated through their distinct interface paradigms (mouse/trackpad on macOS and touch on iOS), Apple has carefully crafted their feature sets and positioning so as to complement and integrate with each other, and not overlap. Tablet form factor with pen-input are designed into the iOS devices, whereas laptop usability, workstation-class performance and expandability are reserved for Mac notebooks. Apple’s suggested solution is to purchase devices from each platform and use them in tandem. These offerings lack either the performance desired, the level of integration required, or both. The Solution Our mid-level Modbook Pro is an enclosure conversion kit that transforms an original Apple non-Retina 13.3-inch MacBook Pro notebook into a slate-style, pen-enabled macOS tablet computer. With it’s dual-core Intel i5/i7 processor options it represents the only slate-style tablet Mac solution on the market. Our upcoming Modbook Pro X is an enclosure conversion kit that transforms a top-of-the-line Apple Retina 15.4-inch MacBook Pro into a 2-in-1 convertible, pen-enabled macOS tablet/laptop. This combination of power and versatility makes the Pro X not only our high-end offering, but in effect also the “best” configuration of an Apple Retina MacBook Pro.

BOUND is the leading stablecoin protocol aggregating institutional-quality stable yields across blue-chip DeFi protocols. Unlike traditional approaches that bundle stability, yield, and governance into a single token, BOUND cleanly separates these functions across three distinct tokens. DFY is a USD-pegged stablecoin collateralized by professionally managed DeFi strategies focused on stablecoins and real-world assets. DFY+ is its yield-bearing counterpart, representing the accumulated protocol revenue generated from the collateral reserve. BND serves as the governance and utility token, offering holders fee reductions, value capture, and ownership over the protocol infrastructure. BOUND represents the first generation of protocol stablecoins designed to provide retail DeFi users with institutional-grade, hands-off exposure to diversified stable yield opportunities. By aggregating blue-chip yield strategies across multiple protocols and chains into one unified solution, BOUND is building the industry-leading infrastructure for automated stable yield farming in decentralized finance.

This is a group of Vivek Ramaswamy’s top 1,000 supporters who decided to “put their money where their mouth is” by investing $6,600 into his campaign. This is the maximum amount allowed by law for an individual to contribute to Vivek’s primary election campaign and additional $3,300 for when he will be the GOP’s chosen candidate for the presidency. Join us if you want to restore America to a meritocracy-based society and by putting an end to a system that doesn’t serve the American people for many years by now. Paid for by Vivek 2024.
