As an Air user (not a casual one: I use mine for programming and such), I'd be happy with it. One hub on just one side rather than four different connections on two sides (display, hub, power, ext. HDD) would be neater.

I find that my Air plus dongles is still more portable than something thicker and heavier. I expect the same to be true of this, too.

Windows Explorer got the ribbon interface in Win8 too, and it's actually a massive improvement. Makes it much easier to find features.

Perhaps it's as a courtesy to people who've suffered violence or something, I don't know. Or perhaps it's for consistency: if you can't show 17+ content in an app without requiring parental permission, then you shouldn't be able to see 17+ content in app store screenshots. EDIT: Ah, turns out...

It amuses me that the https://www.tibanne.com/ homepage still says they're hiring. But I suppose Mr. Karpelès has more important matters to worry about just now than merely fixing a website.

Would people playing those mods need Warcraft III? Presumably not?

Not quite: the factories producing goods officially at least have to abide by Chinese labour law.

Depending on the fake, it's either really crappy, or made to exactly the same specifications and indistinguishable. So it's hard to say whether it's unsafe or not.

I imagine licensing plays a role: for Nintendo games this is easy, but there must be a lot of negotiations with publishers for 3rd-party titles. Also bear in mind that many Nintendo games aren't truly 1st-party, they're 2nd-party (though I assume Nintendo would own the rights in those cases...)...

Was that supposed to be "it's sold"? I had trouble parsing that.

Godwin's Law doesn't really apply for legitimate comparisons to the Third Reich, and this is one of those.

I don't really see what's so objectionable about blocking a rather crass rape scene.

That's almost reasonable. I can't believe it, the Australian censorship board makes a somewhat reasonable decision? Has hell frozen over?

If the Government can legally bug my house by posing as an electrician, surely I can legally rob someone's house by posing as a plumber? Oh wait, I forgot. One set of rules for them, another for us.

Will this be plagued by the same issues as the previous process?

Well, that's perfectly reasonable. And good for people watching: if you're busy on your Google Glass, you're not watching the movie!

<inb4 conspiracy theory about NSA murdering elderly dissidents> In all seriousness, sounds like a good idea. These things seriously need more scrutiny than they get.

Not at all: Chip and PIN is flawed, certainly, but it at least requires authentication. I'm not sure if that's snark or serious.

Good to see the US is slowly catching up to where Europe's been for a long time. Well, it would make sense to do both at once.

That's $142m/yr. Not bad at all.
