Here's the video where Jobs introduces MagSafe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeqF7zcBOVA It's amazing that they're getting rid of it given how it clearly solves an actual problem. Personally I've had

As someone who has programmed a number of languages and currently mostly programs either Ruby or Go I have to say I would greatly prefer a Rubygems/bundler type system to the one Go seems to be heading for.

It's something of a self fulfilling prophecy I suspect. People use Intel because people use Intel. "Nobody got fired for buying IBM" etc. As a sysadmin (who admittedly doesn't deal with hardware much) these issues with I

At a guess there's a decent number of pretty well paid people at Amazon who don't need a raise. The people who are struggling to make ends meet at the bottom end could do with one though.

I'm not sure that CryTek have the moral high ground here as you seem to suggest. CIG have moved to Lumberyard, a tech based on CryEngine, so lines of similar looking code are seemingly expected. And the license was negotiated for a sin
