If this is of any help, 2019 is simply marketing. I've been chatting to the Mac devs for a while, "Office will be called 2019 whenever the marketing team decide to call it 2019". They have only just forked for VL and boxed versions of Office at version 16.6.2, they have released version 16.17 which has no changes in features. Office 16.17 available for O364 subscribers and is still called "2016".
This is the only official notice people had for Mac updating:
"A BIG reminder to everyone that installer divergence will occur tomorrow around ~10am. If you use macadmins.software or direct FWLink download to get your packages you need to make sure you deploy the correct version for your users. O365 activated users on macOS 10.12 and later can use 16.17 (FWLink 525133). Everyone else, including 2016 VL and O365 on 10.10/10.11 will need 16.16.2 (FWLink 871743). If you have scripts and workflows and don’t have time to implement the separation logic, stick to 16.16.2 for all users as it works for all scenarios until 9/24, when 2019 VL comes along."
There has been one major f'up with updates, from the above paragraph. 16.16 will become deactivated if upgraded to 16.17, which many people have done accidentally. When I mean many, I know of organisations with thousands of workstations. Windows requires a manual install because it uses the click-to-run installer and cannot be deployed any other way, and there is no support for terminal servers anymore so there is no easy way to get Office running. Macs are easy as you can install using a PKG, however, it is not possible to discern between what should be O365 and 2016/19 versions, and then some will only work on macOS 10.12 or later, so everyone is being kept back on 2016 if at all possible.
I agree also. Had Motorola phones, they run almost vanilla Android. However, after a year they get forgotten about. It is not the lack of new features that necessarily irks me, it is they never release security updates. There are some very bad malware out there, latest problems with 'disk in the middle' attacks, and the latest attacks using AT commands https://www.usenix.org/confere... are scary! Wil Android hardware manufacturers update their devices, maybe Google and Samsung, the rest maybe not.
I wouldn't blame the emulator, blame Oracle. The emulator runs off a VirtualBox player VM. I have also found VirtualBox and VMWare to have kernel modules installed on my Mac as well.
Only thing that has ever held 10Gb/s Ethernet back is price. They need to drop to near 1Gb prices for the enterprise to give a toss. £200 for a 10Gb NIC compared to a 1Gb for £15. 10Gb switches are horrendously expensive.
This is like a car dealership putting the price of the car on the outside of the windscreen, you go up to the car and changed the ticketed price by changing the price form £9,000 to £8,000 by joining the 9 up. You then go tot he salesman and purchase the car at the price you changed it to, salesman sell it to you at that price. You later tell the dealership they should put their pricing behind the glass in the locked car so the price cannot be manipulated.
However an unpatched PC or server would break laws relating to compliance. PCI compliance for example, all security patches must be installed within 30 days of the patch being released.
Well, Apple didn't invent, Acorn did. ARM was at the time Acorn RISC Machines. Apple did however co-develop the ARM processor with Acorn in the 1990's, and had huge shares in ARM Ltd that they created with Acorn and VLSI. Desktop ARM processors in the early to late 90's performed quicker than 386, 486 and Pentium 1 processors, then Acorn went bump.
Both have 16GB RAM, the nVidia 965m is rated as approximately the same as the Radeon Pro 455 (which is the fastest one available for the MacBook) and with the performance base is claimed to have a 16 hour battery life. I can't find the CPU specs for the surface book but the chips are the same generation. While the MacBook has a touch bar the Surface has a touch screen plus a pen and can function as a tablet as well but only a 13.5 inch screen. In Canada it also costs ~$500 less than the 15" MacBook Pro with maxed out GPU. It also has a USB-A port.
The new Surface Book uses the i5-6300U and i7-6600U CPUs, they are the U series so have 15W TDP. Apple have gone for the i7-6820HQ and i7-6920HQ HQ over Iris Pro versions as the HQ allows all four cores to go in to Turbo Boost at the same time whereas the Iris model only alllows one core to be in Turbo mode at a time, to keep the TDP at 45W. GPU is impressive in advertising but it is a 'variant' and we're yet to know how it really performs.
They're different tools. MacBook Pro as limited it seems to be, is a powerful machine and the 4 Thunderbolt ports opens it up. Just those freaking dongles!
I'm struggling to get a Lenovo P50/P70 or Dell Precision 7000 series to cost similar to a MacBook Pro. Massive and bulky, cost more for a similar spec, or you can go overboard and get Xeon CPUs and spec a laptop for £13k!
It has a terrible trackpad, and only a 15W CPU, slow SSD, screen isn't too good, no Thunderbolt so they use horrible dock connector. X1 is more on par with the old MacBook Air.
I'm in the UK so get forwarded to http://www.ukispcourtorders.co... which lists lots of sites to get even more things from. Thank you British government!
8k isn't coming until 2020. 4k UHD 1 is being tested this year and launched next. UHD Bluray is not the same as the television standards that are coming.
UHD TV standard that is coming to broadcast has to support 120 and 100 fps. This is the second screen to be revealed that will be compatible with the new standards that are coming. Current TVs on the market will not be compatible with what is coming, they may fudge it by giving yo a downgraded image however. Blame TV makers for rushing to the market before the EBU, ATSC etc have ratified their standards, DCI have pushed something through the door with UHD Bluray but misses a lot of good features.

Surely anyone that uses Bing always searches "Google", then they use Google - they'd never see this. Microsoft has nothing to worry about.
They must have had thousands of directors to go with those VP jobs too.
Now Office is updated once a month. The version number are out of control like Chrome and Firefox. :D

It is certified by the FDA for AFib and ECG.

So, stats were overstated around the time they had their IPO.

Car analogies only at /. please!

So this is a USB type socket. Are they using USB sockets but for different purposes, such as mains power?

You can buy them in most high street electronics shops and even in Tesco or Asda (Walmart).
But it wasn't illegals he disallowed in to the country, but also people that were legally allowed in to the USA. An example, those with green cards.
Apple did own 45% of ARM Holdings at one time, then 14.5%, which they then sold off to Softbank. Apple still own the rights and a lot of ARM patents.

It is there, but wont show up in your current machine. I had a few old Macs the other day, did an Internet recovery and they downloaded Lion.

Apple have had an ARM CPU in the trackpad and keyboard controller for years. Nothing new here.
