If Windows laptops can manage to include both USB type C and USB 3.x ports, a MacBook Pro should be able to do the same. My MacBook Pro looks ridiculous with 4 dongles hanging off it.
Note that Apple has changed their focus from "unit sales" to "activated iphones" to mask the effect of flagging sales. And this happened because they jacked up the price of the flagship phone from $500 to $1500. Most people simply don't have that much disposable income, and even the "lower priced" $700 model is adequate for 3-5 years.
I wish Tim Cook would stop talking and do more: 1) listen to customers. the keyboard on the MacBook Pro is fucking unusable for anyone who needs to type for more than a couple of minutes. It's frustratingly horrible. 2) Mac Pro doesn't need to cost $10,000+. Just add Thunderbolt, USB-C and USB-3.x to the damned thing, along with support for new Xeon processors 3) Mac an inexpensive laptop in the $500 range for education. It doesn't need to be the thinnest - it needs to be indestructible.
As long as Tim Cook doesn't promise 'Magical' products I'm ok with it. However I'd like to ask him personally if he thinks having a shit-ton of dongles hanging off your products was Jonny Ive's best design.
I constantly get calls from a robocaller on my phone. all attempts to block have failed, as they keep using new random numbers with the same prefix of my google voice number - which is different than the Verizon number assigned to the phone.
The calls to my work phone started 6 months ago and the number is always blocked. I rarely receive phone calls at work, so the robocalls are the most frequent use of that phone.
AppleTalk could use inexpensive phone cable instead of expensive serial cables. I installed Ethertalk (the CAT5 version) at a bunch of K-12 schools from 1991-93, while their Apple II labs were running phone-cable based Corvus networks, and their PC's were using LANtastic, phone cable based networks.
Apple's Mac ran 4 channels of audio onboard at a time when PC's required sound cards and dicking around with IRQ's. the "Bong" chime when it booted was a chord; if RAM was bad or seated poorly, the chime played with the 4 notes separated.
Not that long after the Mac: 1990. But by Jobs stealing Apple's "Supermac" team, he set Apple's engineering back many years as they dorked aound with the less-impressive LC and Centris models.
The big fix that NextStep brought to the GUI was using display Postscript instead of QuickDraw, which meant what you see was REALLY what you get. Display and Printing would be much more similar after that, rather than 2 completely different systemns.
The Mac Plus (1986) could be outfitted with 4096K RAM, and that's the upgrade I pursued with my 128k Mac. I think this was in 1989 when I was a junior in college. By the time I was a senior, I purchased a 100mb SCSI hard drive, and it rocked.
The problem isn't simply that houses cost too much, it's that there's not enough property available for sale. Simply giving out loans to help people buy property doesn't fix the underlying problem that there are not enough HOMES for sale.
the change is probably in software, not hardware, designed to prevent your phone from crashing if the cpu requests more power than your battery can provide. it's a little bit of speed reduction traded for not crashing.
The school would determine what you need to get trained in, as their ROI depends on students maximizing their 20% donations. High-paying jobs are the ones students will be trained for - creating an excess of workers in such positions, thereby lowering wages for high-skilled jobs, which is the eventual payoff that Peter Thiel seeks. Fuck that guy.
I've been Zucked for the last time. I quit Facebook and I'm never coming back. Zuckerberg is a sociopathic liar and I refuse to volunteer for him to sell my information to advertisers.

Mark Zuckerberg's lack of ethics is the problem. We're the product and we don't want to be bought, sold, or processed.

Why canâ(TM)t Twitter add a spellcheck or an edit button so we can fix typos? They keep adding features nobody gives a fuck about.

Not much distance between erasing a map of a tribe's territory and deleting the entire history of the tribe.
