i came in late, did apple show off their charging/display/usb hub for the new macbook? or are they really chasing that chromebook market and never expect people to actually plug things in to it?

to sum up, coming soon:

macbook now with rumble pak and inability to charge and use devices at the same time (with bonus accidentally-get-kicked-to-the-floor functionality restored)

susan komen warming up the lawyers to jump headfirst into the hot world of tech litigation

ios 8.2 now with undeleteable iwatch app

a radical redesign of traditional timekeeping where one day is only 18 hours long

idk whether i'm gonna get a the new macbook, or a new macbook air. i don't like that the new macbook only has one hole and it's a combined usb/power/video hole. that's not cool it just means you have to attach some ugly squid-like splitting device to it. i also don't like that it's only 12" and has hosed up arrow keys. plus i am really suspicious of it not having a fan; my air sounds like it's trying to take off if i leave more than half a dozen tabs open. and 1.1 ghz? cmon.

it wont because a smartwatch only has a limited number of applications (actually 1: throwing it in the trash)

most, if not all of them have lives longer than 5-18 hours

but they had equal or better performance. this is worse in pretty much every measurable way except for the screen, which is still questionable since its got a strange aspect ratio and isnt even particularly high res
