It was just a couple of months ago that I noticed somebody misusing "reign" for "rein", and now it's everywhere.

This article is very interesting, but it's unfortunate that its title says little about its content. I had no idea it was about Apple when I opened it, expecting it to be about the Go programming language instead.

> Why the 7th generation Intel chips?

I suspect the author meant "6th generation", or "why not the 7th generation Intel chips", because the new MBPs have 6th-gen (i.e. Skylake) CPUs.

The answer is simple; the 7th gen mobile quad-cores are not available yet.

Trust me, this mistake has been ubiquitous for decades. You're just now realizing it. (cf "recency effect")

I know, and as a horse owner, it irks me.

I wonder if Mac-users realise that  isn't actually an Apple logo, but is just a private-use character which Apple display as their logo (while every other system can do whatever it wants).
