The requirement is for a D-shaped handle ie the plastic moulding. There is no need to change the spec of the connecting bit (aside the fact that the design is diabolical). Same applies to HDMI. Look at PS/2 keyboard/mouse connectors - also useless operationally, but at least you know which way is up!
More performance is better from my POV as the sooner phones can replace desktops for some uses the better.
I presume you do not spend a lot of time designing/maintaining databases then. Massive numbers of pixels ON A HUGE SCREEN are ideal for SQL.
What is the name of that app that allows people to write PHP by throwing cow-pats at the screen? (I know there must be one, cos most of the PHP I have seen looks like a pile cow dung!)
The reliability of tape has been very low when I used them in the past.
You might want to find out why. You probably are not doing it right. Tape may not be perfect, but its better than anything else long term for high capacity (Paper is better for ruggedness and lifetime, but wont work for 20TB).
It is because if one party talks louder, the other party assumes thst more volume is required and an increases his volume too - result: positive feedback (procedure works in absense of phone).
When one party talks so loud that the microphone is overloaded, the other absolutely screams to blot out the distortion!
Actually, I seem to recall that they did. In about 1970, there was a fashion for hammers with metal handles coated in rubber. They looked very shiney. Unfortunately, the metal handles were prone to fatigue failure where they joined the head - unlike wooden handles which have a modcum of spring in them, and the rubber grip made your hands sweat, so they tended to slip from your hand and drop on your foot.
Windows 8 is not the worlds first update disaster (think of New Coca-Cola)
Think of the average level of intelligence - 50% of the population are stupider than that! (Some say not all of them are PHB's, but I have yet to see the evidence;-)

AFAICR, Albert Camus was not American.
Thinks: Politicians are idiots, so its not going to ahppen anytime soon
Disclaimer: The stats are for America!

Where do I put the damn SCSI card?
I propose a fibre optic verion of Lightning: I am going to call it "Frightening"!

The benefits of tape are:
Data will probably last 30 years (I have read 30 YO tapes myself) HD interfaces go out of fashion every few years.
You can have a pool of tapes, and recycle them when you no longer need the data.
Tapes will survive serious abuse. (A lot more than HDs anyway) definitely included the back of a station wagon (except in tropical climates).
You can use Amanda, Bacula or tar for free. (I recommend tar if you want to keep the data for 30 years).
Of course, you might want to make more than one copy of your data. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B006K1FSKA
Because they are Apple. No other reason needed.

I have never seen a Blu-Ray disk, and I am not too sure anyone I know has. You must live in the USA (not a device for connecting hardware).
Or perhaps not. The results could cause serious depression.

This is well documented in the annals.
Who the hell has a credit card these days? the charges are outrageous. Most people have debit cards. Maybe the US is different.
Call me back when I ran run my Captain Keen from Floppies!

OTOH, if you bought HP, you are already stuffed.
If they dont support locally served content, they will lose the entire market to someone who does.
Damn right - Dyson's company is constantly trying to recruit highly experienced motor control engineers at janitorial pay rates.
