    I am interested in the MacBook. I absolutely love the form factor and would love for it to be powerful enough for my needs. I suspect it may not be and so I am also very interested in the 13"mbp. But the MB is just so... beautiful...

    I have interviewed many people over the years. 

    There are only really 2 question that  I try to find the answers to, all the supplementary questions try to find these out and are based on these 2  simple questions:

    1) Can  this person do the job? Aka. Do they have the skills, or are they trying to pull the wool?

    2) can they fit in lto the team (aka are they a total cancer / asshole?)

    if you are trying to  find a job all you have to do is not come over as a complete ass and know what you are doing. Simple really!
    You need to get a job at Apple and tell'ed how its done!  Tell'em to simplify an not be assholes. I am sure with your experience and approach you'd be a real asset.

    I'm going to give @seanismorris the benefit of the doubt and assume he heard East in reference to a road labeled East.
    I agree. Some roads are known to be East / West routes and the signposts use that designation. Around here I may take the 40 East or West, and Apple will tell me that. But when it comes to filtering or lane changes Apple will never say East or West.

    Still Hot garbage.

    Why oh why are they not listening to thier users, the market, thier competitors or all the people that have died when Siri let them down in an emergency. Oh thats right - they’re dead. Who would know. 

    Buying a company to strip it for thier macros but not  improving the abilities of the mic (or at least matching the Apple  watch) nor utilizing the immense leverage they hold over the oems that rely on Bluetooth WITHOUT THIER MAGIC CHIP (u know every car and non Beats earphone that’s made) is really shitty business. 

    They love themselves too much and the marketing they wield has poisoned the look aid. 

    The future is an OS u don’t need anything to use but your voice and we’re years from this but how do you win a race with your feet tied together by an invisible cord (privacy) and with the other runners already running freed from said cord. 

    You cant. 

    This is Windows 95 and MS’s OEM blind dominance over Mac All over again. They were wrong then and they’re blinded by thier love of themselves all over again. 

    Years away but an impossible lead they’ve let lesser more hungry competitors have over them.

    While they took courageously took away a gead phone jack or used forced upgrades to build out the utilization of thier OS while hoping no one discovered they were (rightfully tinkering) with battery’s.

    surprise and deceit are not the same thing 

    and what happens when there isn’t any real surprise anymore? 

    Just deception oh I’m sorry - marketing
    What the fuck are you talking about?
    My thought exactly. I read it for entertainment but had no idea what or who it was about. I wonder if it was just an elongated brain fart?
