Why let users send messages in the first place? Tell me how you can get any more secure than that.

If Apple had their way, they would LOVE to sell you a $2000 aluminum brick with no screen, speakers, microphone, etc., that still required a proprietary cable to charge.

Don't forget that the founder used to work for Apple and used that fact to demonstrate their expertise. Are we sure Humane Pin wasn't Apple testing if this was possible? (I'm joking. Apple already knows the answer)

I love my occasional comments that get downvotes.

Helps me know I’m alive and not a cog.

Now come on, that's not fair. The apple pro display stand is an inert piece of metal with a hinge and some springs and it only costs $999.

A set of four castors. Like the bottom of a shopping trolley. Yours for $699

Tell your friends! "Each castor costs one hundred and seventy five dollars. It costs four hundred thousand dollars to run this computer... for twelve seconds. Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!" (https://youtu.be/jHgZh4GV9G0?t=19)
