Damn you Apple. Why did you put in 32GB? What will all the pretend haters who claim they run multiple VMs whine about now?

It’s 2018 now. Everyone knows a machine can’t be “Pro” unless it ships with 64GB.

Apple's Federighi promises APFS boot support for Mac Fusion Drives 'very soon'

This headline couldn't be more wrong. Federighi said, "We intend to address this question very soon". All it means is that Apple will answer the question. It doesn't mean the answer will be affirmative.

But in reality there are two groups of people, "Americans" and "non-Americans"

I think you're missing the point. If the US government can divide the world into those two groups, Canada can do the same for "Canadians" and "non-Canadians", and the UK can do the same, and Australia and Russia and China and the EU and so on... But governments share data freely. The NSA can't spy on Americans, but Australia can--and they share with the NSA. In the end, everything is open to interception and no privacy remains. 

As usual, Appleinsider writes that Apple "wins" patents. As has been stated numerous times, patents are "granted" to inventors. They aren't won. It's not a competition.

Appleinsider editors cannot understand that patents are not "won" no matter how many times we remind them. It's not a competition. A proper headline should say that the patent was awarded or granted.

...the Now Playing app is always open and active on the watch and takes over the watch face.

This is by design. I like it. You can turn it off in Watch > General > Wake Screen > Auto-launch Áudio Apps. Even if you don’t turn off this setting, your watch face is just one crown push away.

32GB RAM, 4TB SSD needed

Not enough. 128GB and 16TB!

The author of this article is sorely mistaken.  The ability to make (and receive) phone calls on your Mac using your iPhone (yes real phone calls, not FaceTime calls) has been around for more than a decade!!  It launched back in 2014 with OS X Yosemite and iOS 8.  That feature has been around so long that they didn't even call it macOS back then.

It has been possible to initiate a phone call via the Mac since a while now. There are 2 ways of doing it : 
1. Go to the contacts app > open the contact you want to call > click on the phone icon to initiate the call. 

2. Go to FaceTime > search the contact you want to make the call to or type the number in the search bar > hit call. If the number is not linked to FaceTime, the call will be initiated as a regular phone call and not a FaceTime call. 
 

What you're both referring to is called Wifi calling, and it's a feature provided by cell phone providers in which your Mac can make a call over the internet as though it's a phone. This new calling feature is an Apple-added continuity feature that relays calls between the Mac and iPhone. It's using the cellular modem of the phone to make the call.

So essentially...a font store.

Stolen devices do not exist in vast numbers, certainly not enough to matter is any significant way. Apple should do nothing beyond what they already do—activation lock exists, and is widely known to deter theft.
