i like how every few months, there's a new rumor of a:

1) super high end windows labtop made by microsoft
2) an ipad pro
3) some sort of mid-range mac that fits in between the mac mini and mac pro, but is a separate computer box
4) a new dual display phone with notifications on the second screen
5) wearables being a thing
6) windows phone being a thing

reminder that at least with canadian bestbuys, they tore apart all of the employee break rooms so they could standardize every single one into the same layout, even though every single building is different. So then you had things like cupboards that could(n') open into a wall, and microwaves above sinks located right in front of a pillar.

I wonder how technical this rule is. Can you ship a computer which on first boot only sees 2 gigs but then a first-time BIOS bridges another module and gives you 4 gigs? Or one of those plastic tabs like what some devices with small batteries come with to bridge the RAM's connection? What if they just throw in a loose 2 gig module and some really easy way to slot it in?

let's be real here
