We're also in an era when the speed of laptop and desktop CPUs has essentially stalled. Put another way, if our apps hog more resources there aren't necessarily faster machines we can buy.

Same. Nilay Patel and Mossberg have a great rapport.

App Store revenue is a drop in the bucket for Apple. The App Store's raison d'être is to drive more hardware sales.

It's such a broad statement that it's impossible for it not to be true.

Sure, I just don't think we should make broad claims about the will of the people vs. consent to govern in broad way. To put another way, Americans may be happy to say they are against regulations, but yet still may favor a particular

I don't remember this issue coming up at all during the presidential election. Although, I'd wager even if it had, the outcome of the election would not have been altered in any significant way.

It feels less bulky, sure. But it's so slippery you basically have to use a case.

I really hope Apple squares off the sides of the next iPhone. The current 6-era design is a slippery mess.

Unless you're a celebrity, Tweeting for change is probably worse than pointless, but it can be cathartic. Meanwhile, protests have actually spurred change throughout history. See Gandhi, the Civil Rights movement, Tea Party protests, t

Join protests in your area if you can. We can't afford to merely hope that others do the work of being a citizen for us.

Serious question, does this guy actually know how to deal with populism? Chavez died of cancer, he wasn't defeated politically. Current day Venezuela is led by Chavez's former Vice President.

Have a look at the 8th slide "Thermal Core" on the official Mac Pro page: http://www.apple.com/mac-pro/

How so? It's an elongated version the trash can Mac Pro design.

Agreed. Vader staring at Leia's ship as it escapes would have been a better ending. I'm not sure why the writers put so little faith in the audience to connect the obvious dots.

Yes, it's OK technically, morally, and legally. The most important thing is that your project does what it sets out to do.

by ChrisLTD 10y ago
Yep. They should have recast him like they did with Mon Mothma. CGI Leia was also really bad and unnecessary.

Republicans filibustered everything. So it's not impossible.

Why? Dash is still for sale on Mac through the web.

I'll take a look. Thanks!

I'm hoping my 2012 MBP lasts another 6 months so I can pick up one of these machines from Apple’s refurbished store. $300 cheaper the new models look a lot more compelling.

Insightful conclusion: "If [Apple’s] future is going to be characterized by such hostile decisions as the removal of the headphone jack from the iPhone or the scything off of the beloved MagSafe and SD card slot from laptops, maybe Ap

There is no guarantee even if you paid for Instapaper that it would continue as a service.

At Apple's last event they said they were the number 2 watchmaker by revenue. They can't have gotten there by only selling to techies. Anecdotally, I see tons of Apple Watches around Manhattan.

Yeah... the utility offered needs to be super compelling to outweigh the weirdness factor. I think that's partially the genius of something like Alexa (and eventually Google Home). You're in your own space so you're more like
