In fact, the only way I was able to import my Facebook contacts before closing my Facebook account was to import them to a temporary Yahoo account first.

By retina display, I assume you mean displays with high PPI. Yes, it is still noticeable. Not everyone notices it of course, but people who notice it (like me) define it as "grainy" or having a "green tint".

Yes. They are stating that Macs are not susceptible to PC viruses. Yes, this is true. However this is not worth stating, so most people would infer that Macs cannot get any viruses from that sentence.

There are two possible ways to interpret this: 1. "A Mac is susceptible to viruses. But it is not susceptible to viruses plaguing Windows-based computers." 2. "A Mac isn’t susceptible to viruses, whereas a Windows-based computer is suscepti
