I have to believe that the 100 square foot apartment comment is hyperbole. That's a bedroom not an apartment.

Netflix has never been decent in Canada, so while there may not be anything better, it's hard to say it's the best: they all suck currently here.

Of course. Really the only products of Google's that aren't still beta quality are search and gmail.

I meant terminal emulator software, which Microsoft ships a completely broken pair of examples thereof.

Are you running Snow Leopard? If so check out http://silversshadows.com/Portfolio/Entries/2012/5/22_Ambience__A_Mac_Application_To_Cycle_The_Desktop_Colour.html

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Yeah, but not this time, they lost $0.06 per share, plain and simple. That's roughly .2% of the company right there.

Airplay mirroring, iMessages/Facetime from your phone number, properly synced iMessage read-history, notification center, power nap, big safari update, VIP mail, big preview update, fullscreen on 2+ monitors, encrypted and distributed backups.

Not so much OpenGL 3, so much as 64 bit graphics kexts which were never written for the older models.

This is through the Mac App Store, and that's where the requirements checking is done.

In the computer does no good when you already have it full and need more storage thus the external ports. As for "everything else" being in usb's favor, the only things usb has going for it are price and adoption; it has no benefit over thunderbolt as a technology.

Honestly I'm not sure, everyone on my team is rather confused about that. And we developed the control station for this thing.

I'm not suggesting behavior to anyone, I'm criticizing what THEY choose to do. Learn to read.

$40 for the full (client and server) upgrade means I will be.

The product IS inferior, the cost and adaption rate have nothing to do with the quality of the product, rather with how cheap consumers are.

You can't daisy chain usb, you can't use it to power as many devices (thunderbolt pushes more watts), it doesn't easily support video (vid over usb is a nightmare to implement), thunderbolt transfers at 20 Gbit/s over copper because it's dual channel @ 10 Gbit/s and that's already 4 times the theoretical max of usb…

USB is terrible in comparison, but cheaper. It doesn't have half the functionality or a tenth the speed.

It's Intel's tech not Apple's anyone can implement it, but all the other companies know their customers are too cheap.

A few, but honestly until the prices come down people will stick with the inferior usb product just like they did with firewire/usb.

Don't have one, but when I do I'll likely use it for amongst other things, ethernet when I need to manage certain family members computers. It's just easier for me to drive from my rig.
