I read that the issue was actually with battery size/life.... Rather than having the displays.
Smaller form factor brings a smaller volume to fit the battery in. Retina needs a *much* bigger battery, so you either drop the run time, or the display. Apple wanted a consistent run time across tablets.....
Todays car has probably a 5 year factory warranty and probably will last for 150-200 miles.
I commute 300 miles a week, how do I get home on Wednesday!

It's also amazing how long it often takes before the phrase "I'd look at the logs" come out, or something like it.

"they are arrested for attempting to setup a joke and eventually deported" would work...
'but it requires massive amounts of deliberate engineering across an entire civilization.'
And a Dyson Sphere doesn't?
What percent of rape is actually reported? That's a valid, well known unknown. It can be guessed at, but that's about it.
Pervasive surveillance, socio-political engineering, pharmaceutical engineering, artificial birth - it's all there. I would assume you never actually read either book.
I wouldn't assume that. I'd assume the reader is young enough that they don't realise that those things didn't exist when the book was written.
Sci-Fi that's good enough that when the science catches it up, it looks just like fiction. Now that's a skillful writer!
"We need all your servers. Can we have the keys to your datacenter so that we can lock you out, it's far easier than actually removing the srevers?...."
I just tried this and it's amazing! Thanks!
