The smaller battery is disappointing. Yep, the CPU uses less power but that only counts if your MBP is more or less idle. In the end, footprint matters and not thickness … Apple abandoned too much battery capacity IMHO.

I've just tested the VPNs I use: The DNS server doesn't change, i.e., it's the same DNS server as when I go online without a VPN connection. What could be the reason for this result?

I belong to group 1 – but because of the low battery endurance of the newer models. And the touch GUI and the apps aren't that great either. If I don't need a rugged camera, I can directly use my iPhone.

Rather extradited – to Sweden or the US, the latter maybe via Sweden … that seems to be the real issue, not the rape accusations (although rape accusations are known as a powerful weapon to destroy enemies – although that does of course not

Not guilty until proven? And the stay at the embassy is for political reasons – and like a prison sentence (in a civilized country where prison sentences are about the loss of freedom and not the loss of living as a human being).

Same problem here. My 3 year-old i5 Retina MacBook Pro is often slow because Dropbox uses 100 % of one CPU. And it gets hot too …

Yeah, and now US banks and Delaware-based entities are in the same business … cui bono?

1Password is moving to its own cloud service … although you can still use the traditional app with third party syncing for now.

I had received the mail but was not prompted to update my password when I signed in … should I be worried?

Isn't it annoying if you cannot transfer data from your Internet computer to your offline computer? And what's about cloud services?

Yep, that's my experience too. Now, why is it an American thing? Is there any deeper reason?

Easily mitigated by washing your hands and keeping up with other standard hygiene measures. With the words of Douglas Adams: Don't panic! :)

It's the local EUR price including VAT for the 1 TB subscription I guess.

I don't know why Dropbox doesn't let me pay a few dollars a month. I don't need 1 TB but I would pay for 50 GB … there's no such offer.

Interesting: The article understates the persistence and power of RSS and omits subscription as a category. The article is still great of course!
