So, Mac users can now have two toolbars specified in their chrome, and everyone can lose control of how the browser is displayed? I'm not sure, I'm reminded of: if (event.button == 2) {alert "no clicky!"} While there should be a

Apple's displays don't have that second port, but you are correct about the daisy chaining, I see.

Since there's only one port, you'll most likely need a splitter to use both the data and video simultaneously, unless you want your existing monitor to be at the end of the daisy chain. (DP was brought to market for terminal devices, not pa

Yes, my example was a bit anecdotal and the rest of my friends have no issues with their plethora of Android phones. However, the need to preventively maintain it was a pain to find out when we needed to use the camera in an emergency.

This is marketing 101: create an original position, a USP. [1] What's going on now, is a bunch of suits and managers who want to ride on Jobs' coattails and build me-too products for a market they don't actually understand one bit. The ferv
