I think he/she meant that it was listed for a lower price on Walmart.com than in-store at Walmart, and that Walmart couldn't pricematch to Walmart.com...

One of these should work fine http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=12908
Here's an alternative... surprised Apple didn't introduce something similar today https://griffintechnology.com/us/breaksafe-magnetic-usb-c-po...

> While you should be migrated to version 3 already, this book covers both versions 2 and 3 - when there are differences or new functionality in a later version I make a point of saying so and offer solutions to users still on version 2.

Yeah, I guess I just don't understand why I "should be migrated to version 3 already" when a non-dev build has yet to be released. Seems like a nice book otherwise.

> a few hours of assembly/disassembly time

for replacing the RAM on a unibody aluminum MacBook Pro? it's one screwdriver (Phillips 00), maybe 10 screws to remove from the edges of the back cover, and the RAM modules are easily accessible without any additional tools. One of the easiest RAM upgrades I've ever done... maybe 10 minutes max.

(not that it matters anymore since the retina models aren't user-upgradeable)

"some worry that Silicon Valley's penchant for technology and marketing might not be compatible with medical research”

I would say that a good portion of medical research IS technology and marketing, for better or worse.

NextBus (or NextMuni, specifically) tracks buses and light rail by GPS... so what you're looking at isn't the actual bus schedule, but the estimated arrival time. Bus schedules are published on the Muni website and I doubt that mang of them are followed strictly.
