   I can't work out the purpose. It feels scary and Orwellian but I don't know why they want to collect all this data. Who benefits? In a totalitarian regime it makes sense because you can use it to prevent political opposition. Bu

    Someone who knows more about this than me: given the significant negative reaction to the new MacBooks and the state of the mac lineup in general, is Apple likely to release a more suitable lineup in 2017 in response, or will they largely i
