In the US you are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Until then you are a suspect.

You are right, of course, when we are talking about courts. This isn’t a court case and words have meaning. 

noun | a person thought to be guilty of a crime or offense: the police have arrested a suspect.

per-pe tra•tor l noun a person who carries out a harmful, illegal, or immoral act: the perpetrators of this crime must be brought to justice.

In this case, the perpetrator of the crime made a FaceTime call and proved they did it. There is no suspicion here. 

We only know what the media tells us. The evidence could end up being fake, or it could end up being a case of mistaken identity, etc. It's dangerous to label someone a criminal or perpetrator when we only have a third hand account of evidence. Just ask Richard Jewell (google him)

Why didn’t Sweeney go after or even mention Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft? Don't those consoles have exclusive app stores too?

Interesting. The obvious question is this: how inefficient is it?

No doubt the answer is "extremely". Wireless charging gets more inefficient the further the device is from the coils, which makes this inefficient by design.

I think that is jumping to conclusions. You can’t charge your iPhone directly on the device itself or it sounds like you would wreck your iPhone. You have to have a piece of wood or plastic in between the device and the iPhone by design. So I wouldn’t jump to the conclusion that it’s inefficient. 

That would make it @timusca ;correct then. If it has to charge through wood or plastic, it's going to need more power to charge your phone. Even more than regular Qi chargers, and even more than plugging it into a lightning cable.

I'm a bit disappointed in the state of external displays for Macs. macOS no longer supports sub-pixel antialiasing, so any display that is not of a "retina-level" resolution results in blurry text (or if you set it to HiDPI mode, very large UI elements)

A 4K display should be 21-24 inches.
A 5K display should be ~27 inches.

Ultrawide displays should be shooting for much higher resolutions not larger sizes. I'd pay a lot for a 34" Ultrawide 6880x2880 display that I could run in HiDPI mode.

Really? What post did you read? Because the one I read pointed out two different examples of Apple needlessly deviating from standards, just by swapping pinouts around, therefore making their products proprietary and (for years, if not forever) impossible to source on the open market. He also made some comments on margin that were less clearly factual, but still pretty self-evident. The deviation into tax issues, as we've all agreed, was not helpful to his main point, and I excluded it from my support.
