Because they're idiots who don't realize what they're dealing with, that's why.
The only way to prevent such waste is to increase the price of helium to such a point that everyone dealing with helium, when possible, will try to re-capture it once it's been used.
Considering how much they were pimping the A12X they should have put it in the new MacBook Air along with Rosetta 2. Couldn't be worst for average tasks than this expensive, low-end CPU.
The new rMBP keyboard SUCKS to type on. For those hunt-and-peck or 4-keys-per-day people who "love" it, more power to you. For you weird types that actually like it, you might want to be screened for brain damage lol.
They specified in the keynote that it had "four times as many pixels", so the new display should be exactly 2880x1800.
However, when you look at the MacBook Air page they write "13.3-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit display with IPS technology; 2560-by-1600 native resolution at 227 pixels per inch with support for millions of colours."
So either they lied in the Keynote, or said "almost four times as many pixels" and I didn't catch it, or the specs page is lying.
How about gravity/weight energy storage? No need for airtight containers, the only danger is at the bottom of the tunnel/shaft, etc. Probably at least on par with the energy storage and cost of compressed air, maybe even better.
They're still good in some areas, in others not so much.
If the so-called low-cost MacBook Air replacement also has that fucking nightmare of a keyboard (butterfly mechanism) then I'll be forced to start looking at OpenBSD/FreeBSD or something.
Whoever at Apple thought that a keyboard with almost no travel was a good idea should have been fired immediately after the launch of the MacBook Pro that used that keyboard. Instead we're now at the third revision of this pile of crap. Admit it's a failure, go back to the old keyboard design and increase the thickness of the laptops by 2mm to compensate. It's not the end of the fucking world. As a bonus, you'll be able to increase the size of the battery.
I hope they dock at Deep Space 9 once in a while and for the love of The Founders please get Armin Shimerman again to voice Quark and Max Grodénchik to voice Rom. If you want to see how good Star Trek comedy can be, watch The Magnificent Ferengi.

Oh yeah, mister smartypants? How do you drill sand?!
I'm guessing he's going to build windtraps.
I was waiting for the 2018 MacBook Air with ARM... disappointed it still uses an expensive piece of junk from Intel, dual-core only too.
Do not buy the new 2018 top-of-the-line i7 Mac mini, the i3 and i5 options without hyper-threading are safer. Got it.
Futurama did it.
The only trans movement I can't agree with is trans-fats.
And then your voice sounds funny when doing a Facetime call.
Just because he wants to blame the hospital for wasting helium doesn't mean Apple becomes free of faults.

That's perfectly fine since goolge does not exist and therefore has no products for you.

Why? Did you want it medium rare instead of well done?

And the ones working at Apple can't do shit because of the industrial-designer-in-chief wants everything flat and non-intuitive.
And yet there is an orange muppet who was a business man all his life, had never done any politics before and is now the president of the U.S.A.
Musk didn't cut any corners. He simply used "border-radius: 8px".
So... they pulled out too early?
Giggity.

Don't listen to him. I bought a big pile of 5000 Dogecoins two years ago and today they're still worth exactly 5000 Dogecoins.
I'm going to write a very angry letter to Ottawa!

Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge would like to have a word with you.

I have a nice 132 columns dot matrix printer right here, I'll let you rent it for the low, low cost of only USD$100000 per day! Shipping not included!
