Dollar being weak? The dollar is surprisingly strong right now. It’s hurting a lot of U.S. companies that do business overseas.

Apple tends to underestimate their battery life figures by an hour or more. The 2012 MacBook Air, with 12 hours of battery life at launch, tended to get 14+ in real work testing. So yes.

Every time Pixar comes out with something I think...wait what? There’s no way this will work. And then they amaze me. So I’ve learned to reserve judgement until I see the movie.

Honestly I hope they don’t add any of these to the show. I think most of them are too outlandish and would make it harder to suspend disbelief.

No one got that you were quoting the book.

Fair enough and I appreciate your response. I have less trust in computer users, working in computer support, but I understand your point.

Exactly. Same for me as I frequently need root access for my job and I will likely turn it off. My problem was with the ton of the article. For instance I read an in-depth analysis of it on ArsTechnica and they also showed how to turn it off but also recommended that most users leave it on and showed how it was a good…

I feel like you should make it more clear that general users should not be disabling SIP. SIP is a great feature and 99.9% of users, maybe more, should leave it enabled. I also feel like it shouldn’t be listed under an “annoyance” of El Capitan. SIP is an important security step and one that protects the vast majority…

Nice! At least if she had AppleCare she can get it replaced, since it probably doesn’t work anymore. :)

Artists have never made significant money from music sales. If that’s a problem, it’s a problem that goes all the way back to when consumers were being forced to buy entire albums to get one song. Artists make money from concerts and endorsements. Radio and music sales are meant to drum up popularity for their music…

Siri integration was the killer feature for me. That puts it above any other music offering. 99% of the time I listen to music I’m driving so the “Hey Siri, play...” has made me use it more than I’ve ever used any other service.

Staying far away in King of Prussia...which is also mostly shut down.

Everything comes down to poo...

It’s kind of ridiculous that anyone thinks that Apple made a proprietary connector for their SSDs rather than taking a moment and realizing that they’re not proprietary. PCIe is a standard protocol.

They should make the PCIe versions that fit into the new Macs and other computers that use that standard.

Old people. That’s why.

So wait...they get to be astronauts and live in space AND they get early streaming to the best space movies!?

If Apple uses Planned Obsolescence, like some people claim, they suck at it.

The problem is when people who don’t know how to write a military fiction or war fiction try to do it. Hunger Games was not a war fiction; it was a personal story. Then suddenly it becomes a war book/movie and it’s obvious that the author just doesn’t understand how war works. They don’t understand how people react to…
