In 7 years, either the screen or the built in computer inside this iMac will be obsolete. I’d rather buy a separate mac mini and a wide curved screen. The mac mini is simply so small and fast that buying an iMac makes no sense.

There should be a limit for ten years that manufacturer was allowed to restrict access to their devices. After ten years has gone, manufacturers should be required to publish software to help owners jailbreak their devices. Think about it. All game consoles and cell phones in use today will be bricked in ten years from now if they are not jailbroken.

There is nothing wrong with nostalgia. Some property developers makes money from nostalgic architecture. Fashion clothing is often a mix of new and nostalgia.

The next step after this is to have AI and bots build a real house. Great work!

Dating services should be run by private foundations that receives public grants. More foundations competing would be good too.

Will Tinder be blamed for the sudden decline in fertility rate? Is there any other plausible explanstion to South Korea’s sudden and dramatic drop in fertility rate to 0.8? No matter how bad the housing market is or the job market is, there has never in history been such a drop in population.

We had a similar company in Norway in the 1980ies. Norsk Data (literally means Norwegian Computers) made computers, a multi taskin operating, a word processor thar inspired MS Word, a relational database on the same level as Oracle, the firsr web server was made by Tim Berners-Lee on one of their computers. It all went down because the managers kept insisting that they were a hardware company. The software was supposed to help selling their hardware. They were not good at making hardware.

As a fellow Norwegian I must say that this is pure art by the developer Arne Munthe-Kaas.

This shows not only how highly inefficient the land use is in LA, it also shows when it started happening. Towns that were planned before cars were introduced, have a much more efficient use of land. I.e. less space used for roads, but more greenery and the same amount of people and businesses. Barcelona and Paris was planned and built around 70 years before cars become commonplace. The city of the future is built around peoples quality of life and what is good for the economy, except the car industry. US car industry is slowly dying anyway, so the US should start making the country just as attractive to live in as Europe. Disclaimer: I am the founder of the architectural uprising in Norway.

This fits neatly in the backpack with the MacBook Pro, if I need more compute power.

So many different looking buttons. Wish there were more standards.
