Damn, dayglored, and here I was, dusting off the Popcorn Cart. . . and about to ping ThunderSleeps so he could sell Cotton Candy. . .

Shoot. Reason broke out. Just when I needed a little cheap entertainment. ;-)

Google Chrome sends personal data to Google by default, but it doesn’t have to. We’ll show you what information each feature sends to Google and why, so you can get the goodness of the Chrome browser without sacrificing privacy.

Each option provides an advantage, so you’ll lose some of Google Chrome’s features by disabling many of these options. Still, you can make informed decisions if you’re worried about Chrome sending data to the mothership.

“Next recession Apples PC share will tumble. Only idiots spend 5 times more on an Apple laptop.”

Only real idiots flap their gums without knowing what they’re talking about. You, for instance.

Look at the new Surfacebook Pro. It’s most expensive configuration is more expensive than a comparable 15” high-end Macbook Pro - and it’s only a 13”. Plus, you don’t get all the excellent included software you get with a Mac...or a Unix OS. Instead you get the most malware-riddled OS in history, along with its Achilles heel single point of failure, the registry. Count me out!

Perhaps SBP will be a decent Linux platform, we’ll see...

Hell, your own ping to the Apple list got beat by publius911 jumping in the slander Apple customers as perverts.

What I find a hoot, is that "this" horde, the one with ~90% marketshare - accuse the 7% of being a cult. Yet, when you look at the behavior; who is more cultish? Who cannot tolerate anyone deviating from their established pattern? How dare anyone in America have any choice of tools in how they do their personal business?

I find that as most Mac users are well versed in using Windows machines. I have worked R&D in the PC industry for over 25 years, there isn't a whole lot that goes on in that motherboard that I'm not intimately aware of. I know how Windows works, better than most. And, I find that most Mac Users are fully versed in using Windows - they typically use them at work.

Yet, the average Mac hater doesn't have a clue as to even turn a Mac 'On'; or perform the most basic task on a Mac. Yet, all Mac users are perverts, hippies, and idiots. I wonder it this group includes Rush Limbaugh, who is a well known Mac enthusiast as well as a member of the Mac Developer's group?

“A quick look at Amazon shows the most expensive surface book pro about $500 less than the most luxurious macbook pro”

The most expensive Surfacebook Pro is $2699, $300 more than the similarly specced Macbook Pro model (16 GB RAM, 512 MB SSD) at Amazon.

There’ll probably be a MBP update soon to the Skylake processors.

The ONLY reason it would come down is that it isn't selling. . . because the law of supply and demand forces the price down to sell unsold inventory, DennisW, showing you again have only a tenuous grasp of economics.
