No USB-C? edit: ah, techcrunch called them 'lightning ports'. The Apple press release calls them Thunderbolt 3 ports which are USB-C. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2017/06/imac-pro-most-powerfu...

Where did you get that? I am pretty sure all those Thunderbolt ports are USB-C compatible.

Something just feels so off when their closing announcement is a glorified speaker.

There's an underwhelming feeling to this that is accentuated by the fact that isn't a novel breakthrough in the slightest. Literally introducing a speaker that does, more or less, what Amazon's echo has done for over a year.

Yeah that's what I thought. Why the fuck would that be an argument to build on top of the apple ecosystem?

It's this thing called comedy. It's a form of entertainment.

It wasn't really arguing anything, it was a comic skit featuring post apocalyptic selfie sellers and face swap surgeons. It's purpose was to entertain.

Whose economy? The US's is in danger of overheating.
