  1. They are just the middleman. The NSA stores the data.

    They keep it nice and safe.

  2. Did it go up in flames?

  3. Apple has a simple fix for that last one: eliminate legacy support for paper.

    Oh right. Thank You. If you don't hold it there for 0.5 seconds, that gesture opens Claris Works.

    Best not to get those two confused!

    Well, on the upside, technically, Apple's new feature is actually a find of Biblical proportions.

    They have done what no other has managed to do. EVER.

    They finally found the ANY key and are giving it to us on a shiny platter.

    Guess this just shows that 'sex does sell'... Even when it comes to hardware and software design.

    Drat! I should have not thrown away my old Atarii 800.

    Not for professional video editors... see the improved Final Cut Pro X
    Not for professional programmers.... see Apple Swift
    Not for professional hackers... see Linux
    Not for professional media creators... see the utter lack of new Mac Hardware

    Oh, you mean professional students.

    Kindergarten.

    That is DoubleNegative Bad...

  9. ...And in our next exhibit, a headphone jack resting on the Esc key.

    It took humanity great courage to make this evolutionary leap, but it was worth it!

    So how much money does the average Esc key cost these days?

    Is it more than a large space bar? Oh but the space bar has no print, that's gotta be cheaper.

    I bet the next to go is the space bar!! Siri will auto correct!

    I like to use Windows Key + L to lock my computer.

    As for the rest... yes my domain joined computers still do prefer I use the three fingered salute.

    Does Windows 10 still require Ctrl-Alt-Del for domain login?

    That requires the use of an old thing they once called the 'keyboard.' The new way is to use 7 fingers and swipe across at a 76 degree angle for 11 cm to initiate the refresh gesture on your full-sized itouch pad.

    Perhaps Apple has ran out of useful features to add to their new products and have been forced to resort to this.

    Just look at how much more gorgeous the new iPhone 7 looks without that ugly cowardly headphone jack!

  20. Long live notepad.exe!

    Windows doesn't crash anymore. Ctrl-Alt-Del is there to provide emotional comfort for those who do not have enough courage to move on. ;)

    I suppose the Esc Key will be an option on the new OLED panel. Perhaps it's not lost, just moved.

  23. All 2 of them?

  24. I think the Apple Watch is an early Beta of this future product.
