Plastics do not have good heat conductivity. I can't stand plastic over-year headphones because my ears get too warm. Apple seems to have solved this problem with fabrics and metal construction.

This is good news for cryptocurrencies. Mastercard/VISA offer no value in 2020 and are an anachronism to an era that no longer exists.

Apple has >60% profit share of the entire PC market. Marketshare is irrelevant and has been for quite some time.

Apple wants to be the next SGI and from the M1 is it clear where they want to make profit -- memory and storage upgrades. I expect these monsters to have oodles of HBM, and the Mac Pro with a TB or more could approach house-levels of pricin

Uh, no. Arecibo was quite a low priority for the NSF/NASA for good reasons -- there are other, better, telescopes and facilities to fund.
