On USB-C durability, only time will tell. They're still too new. Present day regular USB ports suck. I tell people to plug in hubs to wear them out instead of the ones soldered to the board Even on my own machine it's a fight to get a connection, push the connector in, nothing happens, gotta pull it out a tiny bit, wiggle it just right to get it to work. Bump into the cable and whoops... And, going back to my original post, I will always insist that removing the MagSafe (and headphone on the iPhone) was a dick move, totally bogus. As for the others, they could remove them after the market for them dies off a bit. This is just part of their eternal upgrade treadmill. Every time sales drop off they just give Malibu Stacy a new hat. We don't want your damn adapters. Whatever, MacOS is on its way out too. This is the future.
Regardless what I think, the decision was purely marketing, not practical. And the market has spoken. Whaddami gonna do? Guess I'll get a Razor Blade, with a matte screen.
Great! Now plug in your hard drive at the same time. The other thing is that the USB port is not very robust. All that plugging in and out makes them pretty flaky in a very short time.
Practically this was a very bad move. The sales stats say otherwise. The owners manual needs to state 'some assembly required'
Apple has no practical reason not to provide built in ports. It's purely a marketing gimmick, but since it's not costing them any sales, I don't expect them to revert back. We don't need the headaches of losing all those extra pieces that we'll have to schlep around. If they make everything wireless, then no problem, but we're not quite there yet. Monitors might work, but storage needs a fast connection.
Cry all you want about Trump's win. I revel in Clinton's loss. And now she can take Kissinger's place for the next 20 years at all those state dinners where real foreign policy is made. Trump will be calling her every night asking what to do next.
Well whaddya expect? She's a moneymaker... You don't have to take her to court to get paid. It's strictly business and machine politics. The democrats and republicans are a tag team with the same goal.
Regular machine politics that exploits natural animal cravings. I would like to think we'll evolve out of it, but it's so rewarding that it looks doubtful. It's a reminder that the cortex serves the brain stem.

Well, are you in a wonderful mood! You're a funny guy...
The US intentionally destabilized the area. The reasons are understandable, but I disagree. It isn't for 'security'. It's for empire.
No, the actual spill was directly caused by the EPA, accidentally of course, but they did it.
Talking point outrage.

:-) You shouldn't assume anything. Along with the more famous reason, it blinds you to simple truths.
:-) Classic!
You mean this EPA?
resisted with military force.
Yeah, and take a wild guess who sold them the weapons.

That's the problem. I don't want to have to buy a bag full of adapters.
I still want my MagSafe
There will never be any net 'neutrality' until we can work around the ISP problem with real ad hoc P2P networking.
You don't have to worry about the wind drift. The Pringles can is able to squeeze the signal real tight.
No, you read it wrong... That is not my fault... Eh, do what makes you comfortable.
:-) Still at it,eh?

Can't work. Too much drift. We need to stick with geocentric.
It's utterly disgusting.
