Apple puts a lot of effort into developing new platforms, and doesn't modify existing product platforms too much, aside from component updates/refreshes. The result is that there is some incoherence when it comes to comparing models. But you are generally looking at the limits of production engineering feasibility at…

As is, I can make it work. I will probably go from from two external displays to a single one, but bit the bullet on a 4K one.

I wouldn't have put money on that either. There will probably never be a retina refresh of the air. Apple will usually just build a new platform, and make disruptive changes along the way, rather than try to cram stuff in to an existing design.

Specs say it will do one external display, up to 4K, with the device clamshell open.

Lower angles would be nice on a lot of these. High shots are often unflattering to human proportions.

Yeah, seen this implemented and it's terrible in Chicago traffic. ABS or other extreme braking scenario only.

Not sure about anyone else, I know at least I'm in the minority, but I did not get Pacific Rim. Totally fell flat for me. Seemed reminiscent of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers in quality, believability, writing and energy. And I'm all for giant monsters and mechs.

This, besides the single port fantasy/tragedy and poorly mocked keyboard has me excited. The 13" is a great device, 12" would be even better. A 2" mac would be a great portable, provided it has a thunderbolt bus.

Yeah, seriously. That would be a great strategy—get people to throw parties showing it. Make it bigger as a political statement than it would have been as a commercial property. Redub it in Korean for a SoKo release too. Hell, all Asian languages.

Yeah, exactly. I always shake them to test if they are broken before buying, rationalizing that the chocolate layer might seal out oxygen and prevent the flaky stuff from turning into one big stale crystal. Nearly all are broken though.

Wake me when they find a cure for brittle Butterfingers.

So everyone gets a useless armrest that doesn't let you actually rest your arm fully on it, and at most awkward intimacy where your arm is resting against your neighbors with a thin cardboard divider?

A lot of those tractors are Volvos too, even in America... I suspect Volvo trucks division is aiming for safety as well.

There is an appropriate disclosure with each of these Volvo articles.

Still, while Volvo is busy developing more and more active safety features, manual overdrive will always be there to keep you in control. Flooring the gas pedal switches off everything and lets you get out of the place immediately, even if that means crashing into something. The choice remains yours.

Had this at my school. Double press was a cancel. Genius, should be standard.

Yeah, give devs a few slots where they can place the notifications area. Don't make the user do it—it would take a dev 20 minutes to do it if implemented well.
