...or you can track the NSA guy who now tracks LaurV and get the info from him using a $5 wrench.

Are you kidding? There is no way that wrench is only $5.

It seems that redheads may bleed more freely and require more anesthesia than those with other hair colors.

Many people probably wish this was an April Fools joke:

Apple's New 12-Inch MacBook Air to Push the Limits of Thickness, Input & Output | 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...

The new MacBook's single port comes with a major security risk | The Verge

And on a lighter - in the 'what were they thinking?' vein - note, video of a popular local TV show interview with one of the engineers at Apple's Mexican design facility, 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).

There is a simple solution to the single port problem: Don't buy one. If it is no longer cool to have more than one port then be bold and be not cool.

I've no intention of buying such a device.

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