By all means, enough with the lies.

Yes, it is. Homelessness has been rising over that time. Very capitalism, much progress.

This is a good description of what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians right now.

If you want to see some real anti-Semitism, look at how Israel is treating the Palestinians, who are more semitic than the Israelis on average; both are descended from the same people so this is basically family attacking family on a national scale.

It's upsell. Back when you could upgrade it, a lot of people would just pay Apple prices to avoid the hassle of finding compatible RAM and dealing with potential warranty issues arising from/with it. Keep the base price low for the headlines, so people are interested and can talk themselves into the upgrade.

Nowadays you can't upgrade the RAM, or the SSD, so there is even more pressure to take the upgrade. Apple have zero competition so the prices are ridiculous.

He's both ignorant and malicious. He still keeps saying it's anti-semitic to hold Israel responsible for the Holocaust* it's perpetrating against the Palestinians, when they are literally more semitic than the Israelis, which Israel attempts to prevent its citizens from finding out from their end.

* An old English word not even used by most speakers of Hebrew

It's Apple's fault they're charging 32GB prices for 8GB of RAM.

It's iFanboys' faults if they fall for it.

And also a stone cold SSD killer.

They can't get this kind of performance (for those short-running tasks that actually perform well on an inadequately cooled system anyway) with modular RAM. It would also take some of the profit out of the machine, or they would have to charge an even more ridiculous price in order to maintain their enormous margins.

You do realize that Safari is basically just an inferior version of the same browser, right? If Safari ever gets updated enough to be as good as Chrome, it will use just as many resources. Using less resources only makes it slower, it doesn't make it better, unless your criteria is "better on a machine with an inadequate amount of RAM". For what Apple is charging, 16GB ought to be the absolute minimum.

Safari isn't magically efficient. It just unloads stuff you are trying to use, and then reloads it when you switch to that tab again. If the delay is tolerable to you, fine. It's slower than not unloading and reloading, and in any case Chrome has an option (enabled by default) to do exactly the same thing when there is memory pressure on the system.

The real problem with 8GB Macs is that they can never, ever be upgraded. If you could upgrade them when your needs increase, no problem. But you can't, and the same goes for the pathetic 256GB of SSD you get on the base model.

Maybe their contribution will be an IKEA Esabnom flat-pack moon base.

Japan is already providing the rover, probably a modified Toyota Tank Custom G-T that runs on hydrogen. Sadly they didn't offer toilets though.

There used to be peace between those two groups, before Israel existed. The problem is Zionism, get rid of that and in a fairly short space of time things will improve dramatically.

Of course many of the residents of the occupied territories will have to leave in the short term, maybe forever. Fortunately almost all of them have dual citizenship they can rely on.

Sorry if I came over a bit angry there, I'm just kinda fed up of it. Not least because the same shit is happening in my country, the UK, and "China is worse" seems to make people think it's okay. It's actually illegal to protest in the UK if the protest causes "annoyance", and it's only down to the restraint of the police that there are any protests at all now.

While it is almost impossible to attribute a specific event to climate change or any other cause, looking at the frequency with which these things happen, there is a very clear correlation.

The only way to prove it would be to undo what we did, and see if the frequency decreases. If it doesn't... Well, we cleaned up the planet for nothing.
