Yep. I've been doing development work on a 2013 Air with an i7. It's not quite as good as my 2012 i7 Mac Mini with 16GB RAM for development (as that's quad-core), but it's still an excellent machine.

There's actually a supplemental spec, USB-PD(Power Delivery) which now accopmanies USB 3.0 and addresses this. It is carried over the USB physical layer but does not rely on the data layer for communication.
No, since they can all be connected to a single hub. This is way better than now, where you need one power cable, one, keyboard cable, etc.

As far as small USB hosts, an Android phone with a USB OTG cable would be a pretty nice way to connect to something like this and copy files back and forth. I don't think they're very vulnerable to most of the usual potential nastiness of a malicious USB device.

But no matter what sort of device you're using, it's pretty far from anything an actual spy might use. Any actual spy would want something discrete enough that you could be watched, videotaped, and photographed from multiple angles while making or picking up the drop, and even with endless analysis of the recordings, still have the security service not know that anything happened.

Some of Tom Clancy's books are pretty decent on realistic spy tradecraft, even if they're dicey on other subjects.

> But if you don't think there's a way to handle it, what good are exceptions for you - you might as well just barf.

They provide debugging information to you, as well as the ability to report to the user what went wrong rather than just that something went wrong.

> I think in practice people do use exceptions for things they both expect to happen, and know how to handle at that point.

This is true, and also causes terrible performance. Especially for situations like this where retries are likely to happen quite frequently.
Or you could just have it not throw the exception in the first place and test the return code, which documents your control flow much more clearly.
Other than cost (which is certainly a factor) I guess I've never understood why people schlep around a laptop and use the same laptop for their desktop by plugging in cables. I know people do this who could easily afford an additional more powerful desktop.

I use a MacPro driving 3 27' displays and also have a few portables as well. It's just a matter of synching info. I can't imagine having to deal with hooking up a portable.

Pixie is not officially connected to Clojure in any way.

The creator has been involved in Clojure's development, and is remixing parts he likes into a new language and platform. I would peg this more as a research project that the Clojure team could take some pointers from.
To answer more specifically; yes— not only is every node in the bus network addressable for power needs and capabilities, even each of the two ends of a cable is a separately addressable node (mostly used to figure out which way a swappable cable is oriented, I think).
So they can revoke your client at will? Kind of a non-compete? "Upon the request of the disclosing party or upon termination of this Agreement, whichever is sooner, the receiving party shall cease use of Proprietary Information received from the other party"
Netbooks around well before the air were also lacking optical drives, so Im not sure how it was controversial.
One of the execs at a client I work for bought a nice expensive Breitling. One evening at a function I innocently asked him what the value of such an expensive watch was. He told me that the value of it is that it can last generations. Watch straps can be replaced, but the time piece thing itself is there to last for as long as long.

So when I saw the price tag on this watch today, I wondered what would make it cost that much, anyone have insights?
I mean, the battery on the watch will at some point fail or need replacing. I get that the watch should be serviceable, but then; if the internals can be replaced, why price it so high? What's there to guarantee that 50 years down the line the thing will still be usable?
what college adminstrators will decide you need, and what you think you might need, can differ significantly
I agree, but the tech-savvy market slice isn't the target one. Don't doubt the mass appeal of shiny golden objects. These are jewelry first and foremost. The watches will end up impressioned on exponentially more eyeballs, I'd wager via celebrity appearances on TV, gossip sites, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc., than the number of purchases of the actual watch. They will further cement Apple products as the status symbols that they've become. Even if only 10,000 are sold... at least 100,000,000 people will see them, and a good portion of them will clamor for the lower end one. $349 sounds like a heck of a deal when X celebrity is wearing the $10,000 one.

The intended audience doesn't consider the Dell anywhere near comparable.

Personally I would love to have a Linux laptop with the same design and build quality as the MacBooks, and I'm pretty sure plenty of fashion conscious folks would like something more exclusive now that Macs are everywhere.

The fact that the XPS 13 is the only machine that comes anywhere close is kinda sad.
Structure: A Better Way of Thinking about Data
No, for two reasons:

* The cheapest model is not at all fashionable in a business casual setting (without swapping out the band).

* There is no clearly defined "this will make my life easier/better" function (yet).
Given the spec, maybe it's more of a gold scooter.
I still haven't tripped over my Magsafe cord, but I love being able to wave the cord in the general location of the port and see it snap into place.
It does, but it's not a requirement for all devices so you may or may not need a hub to provide power back to the laptop depending on the device.

Is the world really as obsessed with smallness as Apple thinks it is? From what I keep hearing (and this is anecdotal, of course), it seems that most people would prefer to (reasonably) maximize the battery life with the downside of adding a bit more heft.
Of course, there's always a balance that has to be stricken, but it seems like Apple always pushes much more to the side of size over battery vs. what seems to be the desired balance (leaning more towards improved battery life).
You mean that portable USB hard drives should be used with desktop computers, not portable laptops?
And the sooner it withers up and dies so people stop spamming Twitter with it, the better.
Noted, but I'd argue that contributing to existing open source projects is better for the general populace than reinventing wheels.
Maybe it depends on who builds your devices, but I have had several usb prongs break off on me even when I was careful. This happened on one desktop and several gaming consoles.
Social Media unfortunately is a new favorite propaganda playground for nation states, both to cause instability and revolution in enemy nations (e.g. the USAID attempt in Cuba [1]), to push their narrative in another country (e.g. US use of Twitter to try to deradicalize Muslims [2]), and to cause confusion to disrupt the narratives of others.

What can be done about this? This article is the first step: preliminary fingerprinting of the low hanging fruit.

No; the price is ludicrous compared to even existing smart watches.
Here at Microsoft all our meeting rooms are supporting wireless display tech - apple air play included. This seems to be in line with apple's history - ditch technology that is approaching its end of life and force the newer tech to take over. There's still the ability to do wired external displays, but it's at the same convenience the usb cd drives were when apple phased them out.
Specs are interesting - 8gb ram,256 gb flash drive,1.1/2.4 turbo ghz, but 1300$ ? way too expensive,as it cost as much as the mb pro.A price under 1000$ would have made way more sense for a macbook. But I guess they have the data that show people are ready to pay that price for that item. Still , the pricing strategy between mb,mb air and mb pro is a bit confusing.

I wonder if it would be possible to build a USB-C charger where the tip is connected to the rest of the cord with magnets. I don't see why we would need to give up the disconnect-when-tripping-on-the-cord just because the final connector now becomes more solidly connected to the laptop?
Why wouldn't they include 4G/LTE in this?

It's a serious question. It's basically a "mega-tablet," a high-end mobile device with a "real OS." It's designed for doing serious work in an ultra-portable fashion.

I can tether to my phone of course, but this seems like an option they should have considered.
Apple were about the first to drop them in consumer stuff; most previous companies to drop them did so in ultra-expensive (think those $4,000 Vaios Sony used to do) ultra-portables only.

Strictly speaking, Apple has not dropped optical drives across the line; you can actually still buy a 13" non-retina Macbook with one. Though given that it's worse in practically every way than the Air, and more expensive, I doubt that anyone does.

Android compatibility looks feasible since the kit will be open source [1]. That should open up the ResearchKit demographic quite a bit!

This is one of the great things about buying an Apple Cinema Display. My Displayport model provides audio/video over one cable, camera/microphone over another, and a third MagSafe connector. The Thunderbolt design allows for audio/video/camera/microphone/ethernet/firewire/even more thunderbolt, plus a magsafe connector.

I think we'll see a lot of small USB hubs with a USB-C connector to your laptop and all your USB/audio/Displayport/ethernet out, so that getting back to your desk is one cable to plug in and not a half-dozen.
Note that the Apple Watch Sport starts at $349, the naming scheme is slightly confusing.
Genius, pitch your service disguised in a genuine question. :)

But in all seriousness, with the team you have, it sounds like you need a full time business development person. Ideally that would be you but maybe this is not part of your skill set. To feed those mouths you need revenue and getting work through the door is a full time job.

A bizdev person can be expensive but the idea is that they pay for themselves (easier said than done). Rather than hiring a full time bizdev, you could instead try to build a network of bizdev people around you. They could receive a bonus if x% for any lead that turns into a contact (again, easier said than done).

Other thing that might work is to get into contact with recruiters (I know, I'm out of a limb). You can let them know that you have a team of devs ready to go that they can fall back on in case of emergencies or what ever.

The apple store only offers a two year guarantee, three if you pay extra for apple care. And since this thing requires a paired phone, even if the hardware is usable after that, there is no saying the software will be compatible with new iphones.

Where do you need the battery life? (I mean what scenario)
It's an interesting attack vector, recently covered by Person of Interest episode, in which an abusive husband got killed by having his insulin pump wirelessly hacked and making him overdose the drug. While fiction, I'm pretty sure this kind of thing will happen (after all, no one writes bug-free software, and even if, you can always steal the keys...) - and initially will be very hard to detect because of its uncommon nature.
> I can tether to my phone of course, but this seems like an option they should have considered.

I think you just answered your own question. It seems to make more sense to have one channel to the mobile data world (that being your phone) and reduce costs/complexity of including a mobile interface on the device itself.

I wouldn't be too surprised if Apple removes this for iPads as well at some point.
If the root cause of vaccination refusal is declining trust in institutions, and established corporate brands can be considered institutions, then intentionally diluting or weakening an established corporate brand can be seen as contributing in a very minor way to vaccination refusal.

If a person has never once encountered an institutional representative that is trustworthy, it is natural by human psychology (but not by formal logic) to conclude that such people do not exist. Then, when someone approaches, and relies upon institutional trustworthiness to accomplish a certain purpose, such as by invoking the CDC, the AMA, and medical colleges around the world to convince parents to vaccinate their child, what you absolutely do not want is for them frantically searching the paperwork for the checkbox that has to be unchecked in order to not give the kid autism (especially the Ask.com toolbar form of it) with their immunity.

It may be obvious to you that Oracle and physicians are different. But to many people, medicine and software are just different types of magic, and equally confusing. They might as well be alchemy and thaumaturgy. For them, using software is like following a recipe or performing a ritual. Everything they do not understand is equally magical.

Oracle contributes to the undermining of trust in the same way as the quick-lube mechanic that charges to refill the blinker fluid, or the home renovation contractor that does a bait-and-switch with the estimates, or the banker that issues a bunch of liar loans, or the public retirement plan administrator that invests in businesses owned by friends of the mayor, or the fed-cop who uses parallel construction on illegal surveillance data to catch a crook.

It creates an atmosphere of mistrust. That alone is not sufficient to bleed over into medicine, but the health care industry in the US is an enormous, corrupt clusterfuck. Anecdotes are not data, but a well-told story shapes public opinion in a measure far beyond statistical significance. One video documentary on YouTube is more impactful than a 200-page CDC report. If the CDC has no inherent trustworthiness, people will preferentially believe the thing they can understand.

It isn't Oracle's fault, in any measurable way, but they certainly are not helping. We need to be able to trust someone to not sell us out for a fraction of a penny.

I have a 1.7GHz 2012 MBA, and have used the more recent 1.3GHz Haswell version, which is a little faster (clock speed is not everything). It's fine for programming, though it does perhaps push Scala compile times into annoying territory.

You can do both at once over the port, you'd just need a hub.

It's not really the new "full powered" MacBook. Look at the processors it uses. It's intended to a a good performance, lightweight laptop.

Realistically, they can't support 2 USB-C ports as it's unlikely it could support a full power draw on both ports (100W each).

There Is a Lack of Research on the Longterm Effects of Cyberbullying
On my desk I have two monitors, keyboard, mouse, microphone, webcam, laptop and an Antec USB charger which charges my phone, bluetooth headset, kindle and vita.

My laptop is connected to the power via magsafe and the monitors with HDMI and USB. Keyboard/mouse/webcam/microphone are connected to the monitors.

With the new USB-C plug I guess I'll be able to buy the hypothetical Antec "Super USB Charging Media Hub", which all my devices connect to. My laptop then only needs to plug into one thing.

I would really like PC manufacturers to standardize on this; it would make using laptops as nice as using non-Apple telephones/tablets/ereaders is now.

The decision to not include a single USB port is of course mind-boggling, especially given Apple's market. How are you supposed to share large files? No USB drives, no memory cards etc on the go.

The scenario where you're on a long flight and need to heavily use your laptop to catch up on things, or just pass time.

The scenario where you forget to plug it in at night, and don't realize it until you're ready to head out for the day.

Just to name a couple. And both of these scenarios have happened with my phone, which has arguably better battery life.
It also looks like (finally) the complete modularisation of the power supply. You should be able to have a localised wall cable, power brick and separate USB cable to the computer. In principle this should mean an end to ridiculously overpriced power supplies (currently north of £60). It's even more galling given that they realised the cables were so poorly made that US customers have a special return program for fraying while the rest of the world doesn't - hooray for litigation culture?

The new 29W brick currently costs £40 and the 2m USB-C cable £25. Typically it's not the brick that fails, it's the poor strain relief on the laptop cable. Being able to replace just the cable with (probably) an aftermarket product is a massive step up.
parent's point is that your laptop now spends far less time plugged in during use.

I bet consumer behavior has changed, and that laptops with 10+hr battery life probably get charged more like phones: overnight and in a safe location.
If a person lives in the States and is willing to subsidize, iPhones are about as cheap as a lot of other offerings.
Medical data is significantly more sensitive. Financial data says almost nothing about you other than what money you make and how you like to spend it.

Medical data discloses your sex, drinking, smoking, drug, and physical habits, along with any mental issues, genetic pre-dispositions, where you live, who your family are, where you have worked, etc. With only a little inference you can get financial information from a person's medical records.

TLDR;

• Financial records are designed to track accurate exchanges of money.

• Medical records are designed to keep an accurate representation of you. The goal is explicitly more personal.

People writing MacOS software do not typically target a particular number of pixels; it's a windowed operating system. One point will be 2x2 pixels, as on the retina MBP and iMac, and on all retina iOS devices except the big iPhone (where one point is 3x3 pixels).
