Bought the top of the line Retina 15" MBP when it came out (in late summer 2012) and it still is my main machine – battery still has 93% capacity after almost four years, the display is gorgeous and it is fast enough for almost everything. (I could use more RAM sometimes, but even the current models do not offer more than 16 GB.) With machines that good, and the progress in CPUs being virtually zip... It is hard to deliver reasons for an upgrade. These dynamic function keys could be that reason, but without HDMI-out (something I need every day), not even that may be enough. I certainly will not buy more dongles – the amount of times I ended up somewhere without my Ethernet adapter and could not do nothing has taught me that. I want an Ethernet port, a sleep light and an external battery indicator (the things my 12" PowerBook had over a decade ago)... Add in an option for 32 GB RAM and they can have my $4k+ today.

Apple could have done things differently - shown variety of streaming services (including its own) within the pop up on the Music App, so it was on an equal footing. Instead it only advertises Apple Music. Apple has an inbuilt advantage and actively exploiting it in a way which undermines competition.

I expect, frankly, this cannot continue in the way it is now. I expect the EUropean COmmission to investigate properly and intervene like it did with IE on Windows - it'll take years and may end up a nul and void point, but i think Spotify has a point. 

The Commission has no business here. Apple is not even the market leader in any EU country, and certainly miles away from a monopoly or a market leading position. MS still has 90%+ of the desktop market – iOS market share isn't even 20% in Europe.

Before they target Apple, they have to target Google (which owns the market and finances it through another monopoly in online ads), they have to target Amazon (they don't even sell you competing products and certainly do not advertise anything else but Prime on their site, despite being the only relevant online retailer). As long as nothing happens to them, nothing will happen to Apple.

Sorry guys, but the quality of the comments on that is far below zero. So far, nobody here has the faintest clue what SharePoint is, and what it is used for... It is neither a Wiki, nor a competitor to Notes. It is a collaboration platform with deep integration into Active Directory, MS Exchange Server, a publishing endpoint integrated into several other products (e.g. MS SQL Server Reporting Server and Business Intelligence), provides a pretty complete discovery and compliance solution, and absolutely serves a purpose for companies using these tools. You might say it is ugly (which I would agree with), or that YOU don't need it, but it is the best collaboration platform for MS environments out there (and most likely the best collaboration platform available), and it absolutely server its purpose well.

There are definitely points worth criticizing (from the early death of workflow functions after version one, to the abysmal documentation, to the pretty unclear future development path since MS tries to shove the hosted/cloud version down people's throats), but bringing these up would require at least basic knowledge of the product.

Well, file size is not really my main concern... I would love to know if it is 'last item only' or multiple clippings? Can't seem to find that information anywhere...

Imagine if Apple took months to fix a bug? Last I remember Apple having a bug they fixed it within days and the iHaters are STILL mentioning it.

Well, to be honest, Apple had major DNS and WiFi issues from 10.8 to 10.10. And I remember their handling of Titanium PowerBook hinge problems all too well. And do not let me get into the severe issues of the single CPU 1.8 GHz PowerMac G5, which btw have never been fixed by Apple. These things do occur. What drives somebody to buy a $4k machine from a company without any hardware expertise or experienced support though... Sleep issues in Windows are nothing new at all either; it has never worked without problems and they happen on all kinds of hardware.
