Jesus christ, and where do you think choices come from?

The adjective was in reference to the powers that are making these choices, obviously.

What's the alternative, exactly? It's an arbitrary choice in the sense that plenty of people enjoy and rely on headphone jacks and that the benefits of switching aren't exactly major. Besides, just because the removal has so

I've loved my 2011 Air ever since I got it, but now it's 2018 and call me crazy but I'm seriously considering making my own computers and possibly software. I'm really hating the direction that tech is taking lately, get

I've been doing web-design work on a 13" MBA, and while I love the 12" Macbook form factor and would have loved to adopt that machine, I find that the base resolution offered on the 12" display is just too small in scree
