  1. Only two thunderbolt 3 ports on Apple Partnered With Blackmagic On An External GPU For MacBooks (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Not sure what led Techcrunch to report otherwise, but there are only two Thunderbolt ports... one of which is used to connect to the host Mac, so it merely allows you to daisy chain other Thunderbolt devices.

  2. Call your congressman on Dangerous Apple Power Adapters? · · Score: 1

    Where is Ralph Nader? Demand revisions to these unsafe at any wattage adapters.

    And don't buy into Apple's propaganda. The fact that these no longer ship with new apple laptops? Disinformation. The design is six years old? How convenient. Such an obvious flaw couldn't have possibly taken six years to be discovered. Wild conjecture. And those new magnetic adapters are clearly just more Apple spin control.

    And don't get distracted by so-called timely shortcomings... like the absence of an Empower or other aircraft adapter for the new MacBooks because Apple won't license the freakin' connector. Come on Apple, give us an aircraft adapter, or step aside so someone else can.

  3. Re:Applying the same model to video and linux on Is iPod the Razor or the Blade? · · Score: 1

    > As a fellow who remembers what a Steve Jobs Apple can do with absurd pricing models (e.g. late eighties mac and laser printer markets) Steve Jobs left in 1985. Apple prices at the time were high, but reflected the costs of innovation. That Apple was still charging obscenely high prices by the late 1980s and early 1990s falls at the feet of Mr. Sculley.

  4. Re:IMAP and Gmail on Gmail Adds POP3 To Email Accounts · · Score: 1

    Since IMAP is essentially a subset of POP, why not support it as well? There are no real technical hurdles. Or is this an effort to limit the bandwidth cost of refreshing imap directories?
