I agree that the market will decide - I just find the cheerleading nature of the article distasteful.
While I personally would not care for a single physical port computer, I’m sure there are others that won’t mind, or even prefer it.
I’m glad at least one person got the fact that I was commenting more on the writer’s enthusiasm than the technical capabilities of the computer. Maybe I’m OK with this English thing, after all! LOL
Have a great day.
The Apple threads are funny that way. I don’t fit the archetypes - not an Apple fanboi or a “hater” - I just like keeping up on technology. In this case I just thought the writer wasn’t doing anyone any favors by being a smug A-hole ;’)
I've seen a few. I believe Samsung sells a combination USB stick that has the older USB connection on one end, and the USB-C connection on the other end. In this manner you can "sneaker-net" files between machines.
All valid concerns, we'll have to wait until the real deal is in people's hands. Are you speaking of charging another device's batteries via the Macbook port? Personally, I don't do that except for a pair of external mini-speakers I use with my old Macbook (I like to crank up the sound for videos and the speakers have rechargeable batteries). I also use external USB hard drives for storing large movie files as well as for backups. But usually have the external AC adapter connected to the Macbook most of the time.
I mistakenly said Samsung, no, SanDisk is one of the first to market with its Dual USB Drive with Type C connector. 32GB, price unknown until it is on the market in second quarter.
I agree. Apple fanboys are really annoying, even when they’re right.
Apple has had an astonishing run, but it seems likely to me that sooner or later they’ll bobble a big one.
I suspecxted that with Jobs gone they’d lose their edge, but it looks like they’ve still got it. For now. It’ll be interesting to see if this watch thing goes over. It might turnout like Glass, a system that works but that doesn’t really have much of a demand.
Apple is gay
I'm really not interested in your fetish. Take it somewhere else.
I like SanDisk and have quite a few of their thumb drives. I consider them high quality
So you cut and pasted Corbin Bernson from a 1990 Saturday Night Live. It was watchable back then and got me laughing.
Apple is gayer than an Ungaro spring frock.
Uh, that’s Dana Carvey.
Agree. How can you make a living as a journalist (or editor) and not know that plural’s don’t get apostrophe’s.
Apple, without Steve Jobs, not so much.....
The jury is still out on Tim Cook. So far, it doesn't bode well.
I agree Cook doesn’t yet have the track record Jobs did. But my understanding is that the iPhone 6 has been a roaring success.
It is said that many closet homosexuals who are repressed and embarrassed about what they are lash out in hate towards others they believe are homosexuals in an effort to draw attention away from themselves.
Normal people couldn't care less about another adult's sexual preferences so long as they are not "in their face" about it. What they do with other consenting adults is their own business. I don't see Tim Cook marching in any homosexual parades with a bare chest waving sex toys around. In fact, I don't think he's even spoken about the subject except maybe if it came up in an interview question.
They say hate is like drinking poison and expecting the object of your hate to die. Actually, hate is a very self-destructive emotion. The only person you hurt with hate is yourself. So good luck with that. I hope you find some peace in your life.
Getting back to the subject at hand, I have several ports on my MacBook Pro. I never had a situation where I needed more than one of them, and that was usually to plug in my iPod - the same iPod I've had since 2006. Everything else in my home is wireless. So the one USB port in the new MacBook makes sense to me.
>>They just need a home server!
Quite a few people I know have a NAS on the home network for large mass storage and for backing up their home machines. Synology is the preferred brand. I have a 4-drive unit. It has been great.
I’m not on this thread to discuss Apple products other than to say this
Tim Cook is a fag.
That’s all I need to know.
I won’t buy his products.
Faggots are destroying America.
Conservatives shouldn’t support fags.
This “closet homosexual” BS is exactly what the leftists say when the right wing calls attention to what the faggots are up to.
I hate homosexuals and communists and what they have done to this country.
Go ahead and imply I’m an communist now too.
Hitler hated a lot of people, so did Che Guevara and Joe Stalin.
They hurt lots more people than themselves.
Hate is good. Hate works.
Sam Adams hated the British.
