I agree, not every change is an unalloyed good. Who stops and looks for a physical departures board in 2026? I already know the gate I'm going to because I've had ample time to check my smartphone while I'm waiting for all th

Hand-waving away ride-sharing as not much of a change makes me wonder what you would actually consider to be significant. It completely upended the taxi business. 2007: arrive in a new city, figure out who to call (or maybe text) for that p

Air travel has changed a lot. Booking, boarding, change/gate notifications, rebooking options, customs and immigration is done via phone. Transit to/from the airport via Uber or a transit pass stored in your smartphone wallet. Bag

The taxpayers, on the whole, voted for a pathological liar. And that is what they got.

The criminality and pathological lying is what sets him apart. Not just from Democrats, from all presidents in recent memory.

It is not effectively a 2-party system at all. 6 of the last 8 federal elections have resulted in minority governments.

Canada doesn't have a two party system.

The Democrats didn't have a primary, so I'm going to vote for the criminal/fabulist/sex pest who is also obviously declining. I find it difficult to buy that logic. The inescapable conclusion is that a large number of Am

Better integration with your iPhone is a very compelling reason to buy a Macbook Neo. The edu price is $499. Of course that seriously competes with the base iPad ($329 without keyboard).

12" MacBook, PowerBook Duo, PowerBook 2400, and first-gen MacBook Air were attempts at making the smallest possible Mac notebook. The Neo is their only attempt to date at making the least expensive possible Mac notebook.

They sell hundreds of millions of iPhones every year. The iPhone installed base is in the billions. I think there are many users who will be interested in an inexpensive laptop that neatly integrates with their iPhone. Same as there were ma

The first sentence doesn’t: “ Since writing about Mac external displays in 2016, not much has changed.” Quite a few Mac-oriented 5K and 6K displays have been released in the last few years. LG, Asus, Dell, Samsung, Benq, Viewsonic. Maybe so

Yes, America chose adjudicated rape, tax fraud, conspiracy theories, serial dishonesty, and a track record of being the worst President in living memory over Kamala’s “policies” of being non-white and a woman. That’s the problem.

Dunno. More than half the country was either enthusiastically in favor of electing a convicted criminal pathological liar or too apathetic to do anything about it. How do you fix that?

I see a lot of rationalizations that blame the Democrats: but Kamala or but Biden's age or whatever. But the Republican party had options too, and they picked the criminal.
