  1. Imagine the fanbois if the Macbook Pro was spotted on the ISS?

    As long as it's one in Space Gray.

  2. People are buying the older-hardware MacBook Air instead of the the newer-hardware MacBooks and MacBook Pros because of the keyboard difference.

    No, but they do have baseball caps.

  10. Oh yeah, everyone should stop using computers and smartphones at age 25.

    Idiot.

  11. ...fixed-width websites that can't even make use of a full HD screen...

    There's a good reason for that.

    http://psychology.wichita.edu/...

    Pick some keywords out of this and you'll find plenty of studies done on the subject. It's also the reason why newspaper have columns instead of writing text the full width of the page.

  12. Still on 10.9.5 here and I don't want to look forward.

    Someone, kill that stupid bitch Jony Ive by beating to death with a flat dildo.

    Just to humour him, beat him with a flat dildo with rounded corners.

    Oh wait, that's just a regular dildo.

    Thank you, mother nature, for the hurricanes. You employ construction! We need more hurricanes. We need more broken windows, pollution, and inefficiency.

    Maybe Trump does believe in climate change (or whatever the fuck we're calling it now), he just doesn't want the situation to improve for all the reasons you mentioned.

    Miku is probably a poor example of loss of jobs and revenue, she may be virtual but it's still people designing the 3D models, making that 3D model move in music videos. It's still people composing songs and music and it's people paying those people for the media they create. It's a total loss of one job, generating dozens if not hundreds of jobs in order to make the idea appear alive.

    All those workers have to live close to the shipping warehouse, meaning the workers have to move in order to work for the big corporations and/or the death of stores in small towns.

    The worst thing from Apple, still to this day, is the smooth plastic connectors to connect anything. Other companies have texturized plastic or even rubberized connectors, making them easier to handle and to pull.

    Most people learn by doing, not by listening/watching. This means modern schools with a teacher at the front blabbing for hours and students taking notes is just bullshit.

    Shop class - I mean "Industrial Arts" class? That's the proper way to teach.

    Apple removed skeuomorphism because it was "Scott Forstall approved" and Jony Ive had to put his own flat-looking-hardware-design into the UI itself.

    That's the kind of crap that happens when you put an industrial designer in charge of software user interfaces. By the same Apple logic, my day job is foreman on a construction site so I should be able to design prettier birthday cakes than a pastry chef, right?
