This place is getting scarier than the back room of an abortion clinic. I click "tech news" but somehow keep ending up in "fuck you conservative America. DIE! DIE! DIE!" I think it's my TCP/IP settings.

To promote national stability. This is at the heart of why the Civil War was fought. You can't have a geographically and ethnically diverse nation controlled by a few city states. People will refuse to be strong-armed into policies they dislike and will actively work to undermine the system...

I think quantum dot displays still use a backlight and liquid crystal layer. The big difference is that the dots are on the surface of the screen, generating RGB without any filters in the way. You get LCDs quickly improving contrast ratio (6000:1 and growing) without any of the viewing angle...

No kidding. Even Ars and Lamell concede her Effective Copyright Policy is cryptic, filled with "flowery language," and "hard to tell what it really means." Hillary is a career politician skilled at filling a room with words that mean nothing. Like the general electorate, the Democratic party is...

Review suggestions: Did the 3.5mm jack lose its digital optical output? Apple no longer mentions it in the tech specs. How well does the palm rejection work now that the trackpad is twice the size? Is the haptic feedback effect reduced due to the larger area, such as when clicking the corners...

We're proud to announce that we're releasing our thinnest Macbook Pros yet! We think you're going to love it. :p

The 2012 screen was decent if you bought the high-res screen option. The CPU performance is still great. All it really loses out on today is idle battery life, GPU performance and thinness/weight. It was one of Apple's high-water marks. There's a reason people were buying the 2012 model new...

Well, I saw them demo it for like 45 minutes. No professional is going to use that Touch Bar to edit video, pictures or music. They'll use shortcuts, keybindings or dedicated hardware. All I could think of in the back of my mind was, "What does this solve?" Fast user switching via the Touch ID...

That was pretty uninspiring. The Touch Bar is gimmicky, thin Butterfly keys, no OLED displays, no MagSafe, don't care about thinness anymore, too many demos, presenters are too fake. I really used to look forward to these, but I don't know if I'll be watching the next one. :/

They're probably going OLED, as Alienware and Lenovo have already done. A calibrated OLED display would be a major upgrade. Much bigger than the move retina screens were.

It's the Apple logo superimposed over bursts of colored powder, like you see in a lot of 4K television advertisements. Here's an example narrated by Jony Ive's brother.

Jumbo iPads. Does that count? :p

If you plan to keep a Macbook for a few years, a hardware 10-bit 4K HEVC/VP9 decoder is a big deal IMO. I wouldn't want my future self to be stuck watching Netflix/Youtube/etc. on my $$$ laptop in 1080p or 4K via software decoding. Otherwise, yeah... Kaby Lake is mostly just Intel's way of...

No speaker holes are better than speaker holes. I show you a 13" Macbook Pro with no speaker holes. This article shows the new 13" Macbook Pro with speaker holes. I say that is a regression. I rest my case. BTW, both iterations of the Macbook Air and the original Unibody Macbook never had...

Nary a hole in sight.

Nice straw man. Where did I hold the Google Pixel as the paragon of design? I'm complaining about a regression in Macbook Pro computers.

Ok, give me a moment ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... OK, I found this on the web for 'press releases on Formula 1'

That was my first thought. How are you supposed to clean such tiny holes? The minimalism afforded by under-keyboard speakers were worth the negligible sound quality loss, IMO.

Your computer is more than 5 years old? That's just sad.
