Isn't that called a blog?

I would disagree with the initial premise that it's about the pursuit of "perfect sound reproduction". There's many people who do that, but that's not what the audiophile world really has become. It's about a bunch of hand waving and big checkbook spending to impress other audiophiles. Oddly, that describes a lot of "hobbies".

Nobody who feels that a $4,000 power cable is important has any semblance of sanity remaining. It's the homeopathy of consumer electronics.

You should watch the film (Queen of Versailles). It's clear that 1) he's completely devoid of a soul; 2) he exploited the cheap money thing knowingly to build his business on subprime loans and didn't care who got hurt in the process (see #1). He's the perfect modern Republican. His wife comes off much more compassionately, and quite honestly, smarter, if likely insecure and troubled.

I don't know anyone who uses it, so I'm just not sure how this is a disappointment to anyone. Seems like trying to make a big deal out of Apple removing something nobody used. Also Apache is still installed on the machine, so you can run it if you want. It's just not push button.

I seriously doubt that any executive at Apple has given 5 minutes thought to Bitcoin.

One can only approach the limits of Adobe's stupidity, not actually reach it.

You are presuming that the TSA will ever reveal what "standard procedures" are. They're whatever justifies their current behavior, but you can't know, you dirty hippie, because that's national security.

So, we'll just ignore the Dynabook in 1968 that precedes them all? Having an idea is about 0.001% of "invention". The rest is all the "little details".
