Why would you want to run a non-touch aware OS on this?

That's fair. The question was about innovation. Lots of innovative things start out as not quite there yet. I don't think there's much question that MS is beating Apple in terms of innovation lately.

You do know that the Big Mac outsells the entire iCrap line, right?

Pretty much the whole Surface line. The Studio is amazing.

Yes, in part, it is Amazon's fault. But only in part. The problem is complex with many parts so it's only natural that the solution will be as well.

But then the executive will have to decide between the yacht and a third home. Think of the staff they'll have to let go! /s

This is an opt-in thing. Don't share with burglars, technology-aware or not.
If my boss asks for a connection I will be looking for a new job asap.

Amazon has really improved the online shopping experience. Sure, that's not the same thing a trying to put people on mars but it has a more tangible effect on more people.

Are you really happy to get rid of millennial? That sounds like a short sighted strategy.

Guy that rich can afford *real* assassins.

You sir have not seen me tweet!

I don't mind them adding the touch bar. It looks like they've nailed the deep integration in a way that Apple is pretty good at doing. What I could not believe is that that was it. I literally sat there after the show was over half expecting them to do the "one more thing" bit to show us why they even bothered with the press conference. Such a minor, gimmicky feature doesn't stretch very well to take up as much time as they talked about it.

I don't own a high end table saw because I'm not a professional woodworker. Does that make high end table saws crap?

This is aimed at the pro artist set who use Wacom Cintiqs. It's only $200 cheaper than a Cintiq which doesn't come with a computer.
As you noted it's clearly not aimed at you.

Apple of 2001 made computers.
Apple of 2016 makes phones. The fact that they're now making fewer phones just means the phone market is maturing as the computer market matured. The real question can the revolutionize yet another industry? Steve Jobs? Perhaps. He was smarter than me so maybe he could've come up with something.

Not an Apple fan in general but now I feel a bit sad.
