It is quite hard to make a "Pro" machine targeted at professionals with a product line up of 4 laptop (and maybe 4 laptop total in the whole Mac line) with very little configuration options. That's the most obvious conclusion

In about any discussion related to tech and government, there is always a good representation of libertarians in the comments. HN is the #1 place where I ever see Libertarian arguments that are not braindead stupid. So that's a good pl
