Well don't just present me with FACTS! How do you expect me to defend my un-researched position? >:~|
Still, I guess what I was getting at is that every *default* configuration for every Mac sold is the ~80 key keyboard. The laptops are fixed at ~80 keys anyway, the default keyboard shipped with the iMac is ~80 key, and the Mini and Pro don't ship with keyboards unless requested.
If I don't see at least at least one freddled gruntbuggly come the iPhone 8, ground-break for the intergalactic highway will begin in Cupertino! (and the rest of the world a few milliseconds later.)
...this little Apigee stayed at home. This little Apigee had roast-beef, and this little Apigee had none. And THIS little Apigee got bought by Google and went wee! wee! wee! wee! all the way to the bank.
Yay, you can no longer listen to headphones at your desk and have your phone charging. Listen all day at the office, phone is dead for the walk home. GREAT Idea.
The new phone has 40 hours of audio playback battery life.
In a peculiar way, I'd imagine this move will *improve* battery longevity over time for those who use their phones this way. You're essentially forced to discharge it when you would otherwise be keeping it at 100%, which is not good for long-term battery health.
x265 is not very important except for 4K content and mobile phones
I think a 20% overall reduction in bandwidth for an in-demand and still-growing medium is *very* significant no matter what the resolution or device is.
So is the cost (as in RTFA). HEVC or h.265 is not free. VP9 and x264 are.
Bandwidth and storage is a fixed quantity. A terabyte is a terabyte wherever you store it.

You don't think all this will have died down "within the next few years"? You don't think the market will be flooded with whatever the alternative will be?
Tech-years are shorter than dog-years, and Apple support their old pups longer than any of the other kennels.

Yes, someone caught me on that already.
Still, the original post got modded "Informative" somehow. Probably because of the corrections.

Except you can't, because some countries use the weird 104-key layout and the rest of the world uses the wonderful 105-key keyboard.
Apple keyboards have 78 keys. They don't make a 100+ key keyboard any more.
And yet.
This keynote was a complete sapiens-fest!

...is how /. works. Sorry forgot about that.
Kotaku says that Miyamoto got it wrong: It'll be a free download with an in-App purchase to upgrade to the full-game.
...according to the App Store listing.

We'll see I guess.

Processor speeds improve year over year.

He did have a quick vibrato, but not *that* quick!
So how many intergalactic littering laws have we just broken?
...apparently not, but it looks like Christmas might have something to do with it.
RECALL JESUS.
"Success is moving from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm." --David Guy Powers
You are technically correct. The best kind of correct.
Whatever happened I'm willing to be won't happen again.
...not with this rocket at least.
Is there independent confirmation of this, because I'm not hearing that?
Here.
What was blown up: AMOS-6
What's being launched on a reused rocket: SES-10
Sorry, but that quote is wrong. The first reused booster is (was?) scheduled to launch SES-10 later this year.
Correct.
You do know that everyone in the U.S. and Britain has a government "minder" assigned to them to watch their every move, yes?
Yes, but they can't be trusted. That's why we have minder minders who keep an eye on the minders.
But who keeps an eye on them you ask? Fool! It's minders all the way down!
I don't think you can put "consumers", "take" and "given" in a sentence like that.
I suppose touch-screens were forced down our throats, too.
I don't disagree. Perhaps a few of us will indeed go through the whole "can I put that on a flopp... oh shit, nevermind" process again.
Pioneers and trailblazers all of them.

In fairness, the Apple's popularity has exploded since the days when they could change/drop interfaces without Mr. Average User really noticing.
