Re:Why 24-Bit Music Downloads Make No Sense

Chris “Monty” Montgomery (a creator of Ogg Vorbis and I believe Opus) explains why you never need more than 16 bits of bit depth for audio playback.
The video segment in question starts at 8:40, though the entire video and its predecessor are well worth a watch.
Monty also tried making the argument against 24/192 music in written form in the past: https://web.archive.org/web/20130115154647/https://people.xi...

There's basically nothing new in the Bloomberg article.

As C++ is the native language for the UWP, surely it would map more neatly to the platform?
And the well-known performance and memory advantages, however small, are critical for mobile devices. I don't think Microsoft should commit long-term to C# on mobile just as both Apple and supposedly Google are migrating to Swift as the future of their platforms, for good reason.
My two cents.

This is the first disclosure on the S1's CPU and several other things, for those interested.

There are good reasons to think that they really are separate products.

Actually, I would buy right away. Apple generally sources higher-binned (higher quality) components early on. i.e., only Samsung panels when the Retina MBP first launched in 2012.
Broadwell will be perfectly capable of driving the display.

Good catch. I'll update the post.
To clarify, what I meant by three-tier:
11.9" Retina Air - slightly thicker than the current Air
13.3" Retina Pro
15.4" Retina Pro
And the older Air would stick around for a while.
I really doubt Apple would throw away the Air branding or thinner design.

A Retina Air would be more like a thicker Air than a thinner Retina MacBook Pro.
As for power, I deliberately didn't go into detail, but the short answer is Broadwell.

It's my first blog post, simple as that.
Will probably write about other 2014 Apple products next.

I have more to share. Unfortunately the post isn't seeing much traction :(

I unfortunately think the only option for you will be the 13.3" Retina MacBook Pro.
