The whole thing dates back to 2009, feel free to read about the history here: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.m.wikipedia.org%2Fwik... The adoption of USB C was foreshadowed in 2014 by the Radio Equipment Directive which âoeencouragedâ its use. But the writing was on the wall. And here are articles from 2018 about it: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zdnet.com%2Farticle%2F... https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cultofmac.com%2F5682...

Appleâ(TM)s move to USB C - including in the iPad - came after the EU got involved.

That's not a very good argument given that the basic premise is that God gave you free will...

Are you sure? The guy killed himself over the divorce ruling, and the ex-wife rants about losing her source of income (because he killed himself). If one takes a step back it is all quite monstrous.

It was bad enough to push him over the edge. Neither of us know what was in the actual judgeâ(TM)s ruling, so we can make stuff up all we like, but the tone of the ex-wifeâ(TM)s email combined with the suicide makes me think the worse.

That $350 is what the got previously - if you read she became entitled to back payment and more money

Divorce law need to be changed. His ex-wife is clearly only sad that she lost her meal-ticket. What world have we created where divorce is a road to making one person a slave to another.

That sort of story was all the rage back in 1999, when startups were founded on similar statements, and then again 10 years ago when it was all about millennialsâ¦

They should have called it the US Spacy. Minmay would have been proud.

Will the specs were flawed, that design was amazing. Looking at it today, it still looks good. Those things look colourful, modern, and desirable (well if you ignore the CRT screen). I'd argue it aged even better than the very first Macintosh design, and will certainly look better in a few years time than the current iteration.

Again, care to back up any of these sweeping statements?

What source do you have for this "likelihood"?

Please explain to me why Greece going bankrupt would make the Euro fail. Your arrogance makes me suspect you don't know.

-12% over one year is the biggest variation and you are talking about the death of the Euro? Might as well be coherent and talk about the death of the US dollar and the British pound. Hell, by this standard all currencies are "dead" within 5 years.
