"If I had my way, I would require every device with a battery -- whether it is a phone or laptop or tablet or whatever -- to include instructions on how the user can change the battery. This would, of course, require a battery that is easy to change. (I'm looking at you, Samsung.) I would also make it illegal to block third party batteries that otherwise fit for purpose."

Stop shitting on your 'creative professionals' and dedicated followers, the groups that kept Apple alive when times were slim, very slim, so slim they relied on Microsoft.
And yes, I will never forgive Apple for dropping Aperture, the shitty plant pot MacPro 6.1 thing with no Pci-e and so called MacBook Pro you can't change a hard drive or battery.
Utter bastards, I'm not sure if I hate them more than Microsoft.

So much for the Apple watch.

You're lucky, I spent God knows how long identifying an endless stream of fire hydrants, shop fronts, bicycles, cars, buses, 'cross walks' what ever they are.
Anyway I hope it get blown wide open and pasted all over tinterwebs and the sooner it's burried the better
Mean while, they could at least make the dam images interesting.
Maybe not, but then in some roles 'using a computer' isn't that important and to some it's a pain in the arse.
A pain that could be eased by some consistency in the user interface by those Microsoft twats, but no the chief twatspanner always has to thrust his member into the works to bugger up what used to be simple.
"I didn't even mind Edge that much functionally but the constant popups of "why not try edge" when I clearly DO NOT WANT TO USE EDGE get on my tits.
This goes for all manufacturers. So fuck Chrome as well."

1. Fuck it all up for you
2. Format your hard disk
3. Or just piss you off and lose all your work
Make three choices from the above list.
