Support the EFF and Creative Commons. The war is coming, and they're supporting you...
In 2013 the iPhone 6 will be released, and in 2014 the iPhone 7.
You mean a product that is released every year is going to be released again this year? This is very exciting and unexpected news.
Someone is going to come across your comment a few years down the road, and the context of your joke will be completely lost. Dear future reader: sorry, but I'm not going to fill you in on this joke either. We'll just have to see how good your google skills are (is google still around?).

Apple Defence Force, ASEEEMBLEEEE!!!!!
Somebody is going to come across this whole friggin web site, sit down and go
What the Holy Hell was exactly going on at that time?
No wonder the whole civilization collapsed.

What political party do you join when you don't like Bible-thumpers *or* hippies?
640x480 is enough for anyone.

Maybe youre right when it comes to Mac users, but I have a feeling there will be droves of employees rushing out to buy one when they realize that in order to connect to corporate network on their Mac they need ethernet.
Er, what? Your color blind friend can't see color (in nature?) but can see it on an iPad 3?
They are a magical thing. I used to have herpes before I saw the iPad 3 display
I could build 3 high performance desktops for that much.
Or 2 gaming windows laptops.
Or even a god damn server.
Wow, your backpack must be huge.

The MacBook Pro with a Retina Display of 220ppi sounds great, but I have a serious question.
Has Apple fixed the problem with the system font being sized in a fixed number of pixels? My parents' 17" MBP with hi-res display is almost unusable with my parent's aging eyes (or even my middle-aged eyes), and it doesn't have a ppi anywhere near 220. I'm incredulous that Apple has allowed this UI flaw to persist for so long -- my parents cannot be the only ones who would appreciate a larger system font.
Yes, Apple has a solution for you. It's about time you upgraded those aging parents for new shiney Apple parents! Your children are likely due for a parent upgrade as well.

Requiring a dongle for an ubiqitous need like USB is just stupid beyond belief. That alone is a reason I will never own an ipad, even if it was not a walled garden and a DRM trap, which it is, so there are two more reasons I will never own one. Just saying.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
low resolution displays are the entire reason...helvetica...became popular.
I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt here and assume you simply experience the flow of time differently than corporeal beings.
How can I believe you when you tell me what I don't want to hear?
