Your companies? How many companies do you own?
Shouldn't it be company's* servers? As in, the servers that belong to your company?

I agree. His fascination on cramming everything into the smallest space has left us with Macs that are not worth upgrading. It blows.
His touches on the UI are like cancer since he applies principles from designing hardware shapes (Industrial Design) to UI design and THEY DO NOT FUCKING APPLY THERE. Minimalist UI is bullshit. Context matters. You wan to eyebell the UI and understand what each part can do without having to interact with it.
If text looks just like a button, then you can't tell the difference between an item you can interact with and a static design element that you can't click or tap on. This confuses the user. This creates crappy and confusing UI.
I remember looking in Xcode for the longest time for an option in the far right panel. It just wasn't there. Well, his dumbass design principles replaced the arrow that shows the items can expand next to the text with NOTHING. I had no idea that the item was expandable because the visual cue that it was expandable was removed. I wasted 1/2 a hour on this and I'm not the only one who has.
I could go on, but there are so many cases of this now in the UI. It sucks.
And all the motion in the UI? We are wired to divert our attention to things that move or dart. It happens before we think. Every time an item darts or jumps or bumps, it's a distraction that pulls out attention to that item and away from the task we wanted to accomplish. The UI becomes an ADD machine. It's terrible.
All this thanks to Jony Ive. I say no thanks. When not in the office, I use Snow Leopard (10.6.8) because it's simply so much more usable a UI.
Ever since he's gotten his "design direction" on the Mac OS and iOS, their design have gone to shit.
Everything's animated whether it needs to be or not and you can't turn it off. Everything is ultra skinny and harsh blue on glaring white. Common standards of "don't make the user guess what's functional in the UI and what's not" have been thrown away and the UI of the Mac OS has become a distraction machine that gets in the way of the user. Too much darty motion is ADD fodder as it innately draws your attention to the little darty thing as opposed to keeping your attention on the task at hand that you are trying to accomplish.
I don't want animations that get in the way of me doing my task, or ones that pull for my attention. I want a goo d looking, non distracting UI that lets me do my job, not one with crap sliding all over the place and with hideous colors.
Ugh. This is crappy crappy news for the Mac. But then, we already have too much animated crap in the UI.
It's nice to see positive news like this coming out of Russia.
Really nice.
Seems like if you had more than one device or virtual devices, and more than one ethernet cable on more than one ethernet port, you could stagger your installs.
More hot chicks in science. Then they are all sexy.
Everyone's a winner!
Would be a nice low cost machine to develop for the Mac or iOS.
Can it run Mac OS?
Stupidly worded question.
Use compressed air storage or large water reservoirs where water is pumped between levels and energy is regenerated by hydro generators when it flows back down.
These are established technologies.
