Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

For me it's more annoying that there is only one USB port which doubles as the power. I know Apple is pushing to to get everyone to use wireless technology - but still annoying.

The new Broadwell Macbook Pro is much more attractive to me, and twice as fast as its predecessor. http://www.computerworld.com/article/2900330/holy-smoke-the-new-macbook-literally-is-twice-as-fast.html

Oh, and Sift of the week.

This achievement has earned you your "Golden One" Level 6 Badge!

I'm the only one on my dev team who is using a Windows laptop instead of a MacBook. Every time someone else needs to present, it's a scramble for a dongle, and then their WiFi drops and it takes five minutes to get reconnected.

Yeah, my ThinkPad looks like an industrial accident compared to those admittedly sexy MacBooks, but unlike those, my Windoze machine "just works (TM)."\

A natural comparison...people want to idolize Steve Jobs for what he did with Apple...iphones...macbooks...imacs, etc. And thats fine I guess.

But Bill Gates is someone who should be idolized. What he is doing with his foundation is remarkable and world changing. Helping scientists, engineers, researchers to flourish and bring in technology like this is fantastic.

wow, nasty prank against anyone with a solid aluminum macbook

No webcam on home PC and have a piece of elec tape over my macbook pro's isight.... /noproblems....

So, for all three platforms (Lenovo, Macbook Air, Android phone), it did indeed appear to need some or all of the following actions:
1) You had to not update the OS's
2) You had to go to "bad" websites, at least one connected to Sochi duping
3) You had to click on things and do deeply unwise stuff once you were on the site.

That makes me feel better.
A little.

Christ. Why is he destroying that Macbook Air box like a gorilla with an orange?

Finally Tyrone will be able to justify his MacBook Pro Retina display purchase... http://videosift.com/video/Tyrone-aksin-bout-RetIna-MacBook-Pro (plugging my old submission)

I just read Alan Rusbridger's comment on this mess and the following was more than I can take at 8am:

And so one of the more bizarre moments in the Guardian's long history occurred – with two GCHQ security experts overseeing the destruction of hard drives in the Guardian's basement just to make sure there was nothing in the mangled bits of metal which could possibly be of any interest to passing Chinese agents. "We can call off the black helicopters," joked one as we swept up the remains of a MacBook Pro.

GCHQ thugs destroying Guardian property on Guardian premises -- I did not expect it to escalate this quickly. The fact that Rusbridger published it on the blog section of the Guardian indicates to me that some sort of gag order was placed on the Guardian and that he stepped up and did this at his own risk.

Makes you wonder what kinds of data Snowden liberated from the NSA: the recipe for soilent green?
