it's almost as if the lovely keyboards with hacked-on fixes and the horrible thermal performance are causally related to the decision to cram a pro laptop and an iwatch into a millimeter-thick slab of aluminium

if your solution to "apple makes poo poo computers now" is "build a good computer, then thoroughly compromise my os by hacking it to bypass all the built in security at the lowest level", you may be a loving moron.

hmm, the only real advantage osx has had over windows in the last 20 years was its security, better rip that poo poo out and load unsigned kernel modules i grabbed off a forum

I should rephrase that if you're specifically targeted, you're as well as hosed, dependent on the motivation and resources of your adversary. I won't pretend that security and encryption aren't important

jony is going to force Apple to eventually stick low-power a-chips into everything as he eventually gets around to just pulling small rounded glass panels into a room and telling the engineers it’s his new form factor as the engineers scream and poo poo themselves the 2020 iMac is going to be slower than an iPad 2 but be so thin that someone will eventually cut themselves open on one and bleed out on their all-white marble flooring in their office
