That falls well into the realm of "duh".
Yeesh, man, if you hate Apple so much, why don't you just stay off Apple threads? Underwater basket weaving is considerably more productive...
This wasn't a deserved attack as you put it, I was contemplating whether or not Apple would implement a strategy in which AC power would no longer work once the internal battery died. This IS possible to incorporate something like this, but just my suggesting this may be a possibility and I get a DUHHHHHHHH and Hey Blue, stick to underwater basketweaving. severe/insulting.
No, Blue, by the time that ctdonath2 posted this, you had earned it... in Spades.
It is a legitimate question... and a legitimate observation. Again, where is the personal attack? You don't seem to be getting anywhere in convincing us Mac users that we should abandon our delusions. Perhaps underwater basketweaving is more productive?
You were "contemplating whether or not Apple would implement a strategy in which AC power would no longer work once the internal battery died" which is something that in 20 years of Apple Notebook computers has never happened, lacks ANY foundation for such speculation, is completely contrary to the expectations of a company who tops the Customer Satisfaction surveys, every year, and who is completely dependent on the good will of its customers and their continued willingness to trust them by investing large amounts of money in their products. Such contemplation belongs solidly in the realm of fantasy and intentional libel that the idea just boggles my mind.
To post something so outlandish without evidence or foundation, based on a begging-the-question assumption that the new batteries ARE GOING TO FAIL before their rated life, is so off the wall that it DESERVES the question of why you hate Apple so much, and why you repeatedly invade Apple Mac threads with your misinformation and FUD .. and why would you repeatedly expose yourself to what you claim is abuse from us evil, mean DU like Apple users. You earned every bit of that very mild rebuke.
