I've done this on symbian phone many many moons ago, for sms and mms messages. We all been there :)

Yet they are rumored to be sourcing 2026 CLA engine from Chinese Geely. Nothing agains Chinese companies, but aren't MB suppose to be luxury brand? Geely will probably offer vehicle with same engine, more tech for half the price.

Normal users literally don't care. It was invented as touchpad so touch pad it is, no matter what Apple wants users to call it now. Don't see a point get butt hurt about that.

I'm not religious, but I'll pray every night for a miracle. :)

They should have called it "MacBook Hipster". Call me stupid, but this spring I bought mbp 13" mid-2012 model not because it's the cheapest one they have, but because that's the only one they had with swappable hdd, ram, battery and even with ethernet port that I personally don't care that much about.

I much rather have slightly lower specs but when the day comes and my ram is corrupted or i need ssd replacement I could order one online and get delivered the next day, rather than drive 200km to drop it for repairs, wait god knows how long and drive those damn 200km to pick it up.

Hispter glue sandwiches is not something I'm planing to buy as my next computer, I just really hope Apple will get their sh*t together and release another laptop for old school guys like me...

I understand that the longer the course is the less people will complete it, but at the same time, if you have to write 3-5 lines of code for each assignment what is the value in there? What does the certificate certify?

Just couple days ago I decided to give 5 weeks android course on edx a shot. I'm in week 5, spend like 3-4hrs to complete 1-4 weeks work (including time spent watching videos), wrote probably no more than 30-50 lines of code mostly something simple as "smth++". I feel like the quality went down dramatically compared to first courses they had, now its all about the money...

Because they bought it and as with everything they buy, they milk it until its dead.

I doubt ads is the main source of revenue. They do sell DIDs, VOIP calls to landline phones and mobiles (with insane rates) so ads (only in few countries) doesn't account for much.

M$ bought lots of companies before, that eventually came to EOL even though they were doing pretty well before M$ bought them, it's not particularly about the skype (even though we see it gets worse over the time).

Have no issues on osx 10.11.3 / skype 7.19(407). I did noticed some chat history missing couple times, but i can live with it.

I'm surprised M$ haven't killed skype like the next day they bought it as they often do when they buy/take over companies and their products.

Skype is actually the only M$ product I use, and I would be more than happy to move to anything else as long as there would be a good alternative to it...

They against havoc, littering, blocked roads, squatted trains, destroyed property, etc. Keep in mind that people never intended to stay in any of those eastern european countries, they all were going to Germany.

The sooner they gone the better. It's clear that they only here for benefits, not jobs, peace or freedom. Nobody wants to go to live eastern european countries (EU) as a refugee, though they equally peaceful, open-minded, but there are no benefits (or limited), no free housing and no free cars...

Btw, everyone suddenly forgot about existing unemployment in Spain (20%, dec data) or Greece(24%, dec data). Other EU countries also struggling, especially in youth employment...

I have late 2011 MBP 13. I did upgrade it with 16GB ram/512SSD and 32GB MiniDrive (SD). Don't see any reason to upgrade ATM. Looking at MBP 12'' single port insanity im scared to even think about it...
