It seems that [URL="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/12/07/1043223/-The-science-of-Red-Hair"]redheads may bleed more freely and require more anesthesia[/URL] than those with other hair colors.

Apple's New Uniport Line of Macbooks
 
Many people probably wish this was an April Fools joke:

[url=http://hypebeast.com/2015/1/apples-new-12-inch-macbook-air-to-push-the-limits-of-thickness-input-output]Apple's New 12-Inch MacBook Air to Push the Limits of Thickness, Input & Output[/url] | HYPEBEAST

Note most articles I found about this tout the USB-C-only aspect as a 'sleek, minimalist, way-kewl design', but the reality is that ya gotta pay $80 extra for the adapter, and now you got some dangly add-on port-jack hanging off the side of your MacAir. 'We call that a dongle', but hey, as long as it comes in solid gold model...

And on a lighter - in the 'what were they thinking?' vein - note, video of a popular local TV show [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHZ8ek-6ccc]interview with one of the engineers at Apple's Mexican design facility[/url], on the subject of the design 'planning' behind the new single-port models.

('Jony' refers to Apple's legendary master of design, Jony Ive, notorious for hating any to-him-needless cutting of holes in his creations, e.g. for comms ports).

I've no intention of buying such a device.

And yet another stealthy AFD gag is victimized by its own stealthiness...
