IIRC the iMac and the PowerBook were among the last computers to get an update after Apple announced that they were switching to Intel, and they were also the first computers to get Intel processors.

So this probably doesn't mean anything in that regard.


Having corporate insurance doesn't mean employees aren't subject to paying premiums that could increase next year.


Although corporate insurance for companies the size of AT&T is generally self funded, rather than insured, so the state of the insurance market doesn’t always reflect their premiums.

When I worked there (long time ago), that wasn’t the case, but seems you are correct now anyway.

Apple has a bottom bulge on their notebooks whereas Microsoft doesn't: http://www.pcmag.com/media/images/427048-apple-macbook-air-1...


Thanks, I think that explains it. That bulge provides space for ventilation and makes it easier to lift.


It's mostly to make the laptop look/feel thinner. Has nothing to do with ventilation.


Indeed, compact cameras have been doing this for decades

Accomplishments & Fun Facts:

Join the Windows side. We have Dark mode.


Yeah, and actually Windows 10 Mobile feels even blacker than before.

I think that's because the fonts have become smaller and all the vector graphics now use a very thin stroke style, so there's less lighted pixels against the black background.


I would consider it if MS cared more about privacy.

IIRC, 10.7 was buggy as mad hell.

I'm surprised Microsoft still hasn't fixed the dual interfaces problem, though.


It's nowhere near being "worse" than the article states. The Next plans are literally just $0 down, 0% interest installment plans. It's exactly what T-Mobile is doing, except AT&T does a really shitty job of explaining how it works and, instead of having you pay $10 for Jump to trade-in whenever you want, you can opt to trade it in a few months before the payments finish.

My friend's T-Mobile phone broke halfway through her installment plan. She had to buy a new one and still pay for her old, broken one for the next year.


It actually is worse than the article states because he calculated it at 24 months but he should have calculated it at 30 months. And if you lose, break, or even crack your phone before the 30 months--which isn't at all uncommon--you still have to pay for the old one and a new one.


How is that "worse"? They have two other installment duration options.

Again, though, that's the same thing that happens if you break your phone on T-Mobile before 24 months if you don't have Jump, which not everyone has.


Depends on what level of education; K-12 is generally funded out of property taxes.
