BigDann said: Let's correct a bit of the Keyboard problem. The 2016 & 2017 had the most issues. The 2018 & 2919 are better for sure! They are still failing just the same. A lot of it has to do with different keys wearing out. Dependi…

entropys said: I would say there was a hiatus in MacBook updates too. And it has to have been some internal political reason for the long gaps between Mac updates that don’t reflect parts availability. Other companies have had no trouble reg…

fastasleep said: You didn't notice the big ol' "Editorial:" at the beginning of the headline? It wasn't even just a category tag this time. I doubt Jobs ever actually thought Adobe would "fix" it: "And Adobe has been painfully slow to ad…

lmac said: One of DED's favorite forms of storytelling is rewriting history to make Apple and Jobs seem to have thought of everything, but let's remember that we don't write articles about flops. You never see DED defending the genius of Ping…

crowley said: Bit weird to cut the article on Jobs disparaging 7" tablets without mentioning the iPad Mini being released in 2012. The reason why it's not weird is that Jobs said that in 2010, which was 2 years before 2012 in historical term…
