There it is!
Nothing. It's just a True Apple Believer's attempt to introduce some FUD.
Wow! This is really bad if it's not going to get any better. I've already switched from Apple several years ago (when there was no more viable desktop "Pro" option for me), and I suspect more true "pro" users will do the same.

Maybe Apple simple doesn't care about (or need) pro users. That's fine, I guess. They want to go in other directions. It could be that 'pros' are too expensive to have as customers.

Apple sends hardware to movie production companies. They’ve been doing this for years.
Pros need an escape key.

Read the article.
"Obesity a bigger problem than world hunger, Lancet study says"

https://www.smh.com.au/healthcare/obesity-a-bigger-problem-t...

For that matter, why wasn't this more widely publicized?

It's just what happens....some people capture the public's hearts and minds, and some don't.

He only seemed slightly overweight. I think this is only to be considered when a patient is significantly overweight or obese. Dementia rates are certainly higher in the Obese population.

In any event--this man had a confirmed genetic condition that was the definite cause of his dementia. He was going to get it, no matter what actions he took.

While it may be true that some dementia in obese people may not have manifested if that person did not overeat, that is not the case here.

I recommend you read the article.

Light switches should disappear. Lights should turn themselves on as needed or when asked to.

My piano has 92 keys. (Bosendorfer 225). 85 keys was pretty common until the 1920s. And the third pedal is relatively new. Some pianos (Fazioli) have 4 pedals.

Re:Millionaires Flee California After Tax Hike on Friday July 06, 2018 @10:49PM (#17476664)
I just stopped working. Between state and local taxes, I only got to keep 46 cents of every additional dollar I earned. I shut down my business, let 6 people go, and stopped.
There are some very popular consumer products like Dyson fans and vacuums that enjoy patent protection. They've expanded the market and spurred new innovation in a stale market.
Of course there are instances where copyright and/or patents have helped an economy.

You don't think that popular books and movies like the "Harry Potter" series helped the economy? People pay for the licensed content and entire industries are born that don't hurt anybody, and nobody is coerced to partake in it.

Huh? I am not "Patrick Naughton"

This may be an acceptable format for some electronic versions of scanned books, but it's not a "PDF Alternative".

Also PDF is an open format.
