The butterfly keyboards were a travesty, surpassed only by the arrogance of Apple's "you are holding it wrong"-attitude.

Ive had to go, before they were able to admit that it was a flawed and unworkable design.

I don't disagree with that statement. That said, the changes (magsafe, much needed ports and the removal of that god awful touchbar) are pretty much bugfixes of the hardware.

It is clearly a good thing that the hack Ive is out. Now add some decent cooling and we may have a decent device again.
 

As with every other event, I'm sure that Boris will attribute this to brexit.

Dear Uber. We appreciate your ideas and input. However, we appreciate things like minimum wage, sick leave and holiday pay more. Do you have other exciting ideas on how to reduce the middle class to serfs?

When did slashdot become macrumors? Maybe wait until there is an actual product?

It says everything about 2020 that your awesome comment is modded "insightful" instead of "funny"...

I agree with you analysis.

If Mr. Trump is so worried about his image, he should lose some weight, get a haircut, pay his taxes and stop spraying himself orange.

You assume:

A: 10% have probably been infected
B: 1.000.000 confirmed deaths

And conclude a death rate. But your argument rests on the premise that you can multiplying an estimate with a confirmed number and derive a correct rate of deaths. That premise is false and thus you your conclusion is wrong.

It is a disaster that Covid has been made a matter of politics. Given your last question, I assume you are American: You should be afraid of it, because it already has a confirmed death toll of 200.000 thousand with no end in sight.

Finally some positive news from the WH! Mr Trump passes a test without cheating.

I live in Denmark and I can tell you that very few people outside the extreme left believes that the 70% will be achieved (this includes Dan Jørgensen).

The 70% figure was the price that the social democrats had to pay to the left in order to form a government. The way that the government are purposing to meet the 70% goal is through technical innovation sometime in the future - they have shown a, totally not made up, hockey stick figure where everything is fixed in the laste couple of years - long after the government session has ended.

In other words. It is nothing but BS.

The only thing that this government is interested in is raising taxes and handing out money to potential voters. They do not care about the environment or economy.
 

I wonder how many masks could be purchased for the money Apple tax dodges every year...

They should take a page from Salk and ease the suffering...

But then again, I am getting old. Doing the right thing neither provides reelection nor shareholder value.

To be fair: They did do away with the whole "Don't be evil" thing and they have shareholders to worry about. In short, they are just another soulless corp.

Many of these assistants are, potentially, spying on you via "smart" speakers. There is a pretty good idea floating around called Alias:
