- throw03172019 7y agoNew MacBook Pros no longer glow!
- sq_ 7y agoTo be entirely honest, I miss the glow. I thought it was a cool little feature, even if it didn't do anything much other than look pretty.

- tarsinge 7y agoI’m not a particular fan of Nike and I can’t avoid people with Nike t-shirts, so what?

- meerita 7y agoExactly.
- erik_seaberg 7y agoI enjoyed finding a foil sticker at jwz's club that turned the glowing apple into a glowing double helix. https: //www.dnalounge.com/store/stickers.html
