Maybe he/she met is a promoter of FastCompany.
I just met to show FastCompany's story on it. Cuz I liked it. (Disclaimer) Not a sponsor/promoter of them.

This. I was really hoping they would drop that bezel to make the new Mac absolutely awesome looking. Honestly I would have rather they done that than everything else they did. I was also hoping for a touch screen. While I don't use it a ton on my Windows machines with a touch screen I constantly finding myself to use it for scrolling.
If Apple went with a smaller bezel, they couldn't have a full-size keyboard.

Yesterday was the first time this year I was able to open pages from youtube on the first try instead of over a 20 - 40 minute process of refreshing, resetting wifi, resetting router etc trying to get complete page loads with playing video. I had entire days where Skype text messages was the only internet access I had. Apple's forums have ten thousands of posts on people's wifi being ruined like this for this entire…
Without a doubt, some people have issues, but I don't think you can gage the overall reliability of a product based solely on a support forum. No one is going there just to post that their system is running properly.

Fairly new OSX user and I kind of hate finder. My first gripe is of course the feeling that no one cares about these basic conveniences @apple. Some of these are also found from other people's comment but I want to highlight that they also matter for me. 1. The fact that most file browser has editable auto-complete location field. 2. That it doesn't show the size of the selected files in status bar. 3. That when you…
Having moved to OSX at work last August, I tried to approach it as openly as possible, and to learn how to use it the way everyone else in my company uses it. Finder is terrible. Window management is terrible. Installing uBar helped a bit with Window management. I'm going to be working in OSX for a long time, but for file and window management, give me Windows 8.1 any day of the week. Or Windows 10, which is purring…

Have you tried Dolphin on Linux? It's absolutely the best graphical file shell I've ever used: - integrated command line whose PWD matches the directory shown in the graphic view. This is killer. - automatic numbering if you rename a bunch of files. - a tab-completeable navigation bar. - integrated context menu items (e.g. send via email, compress, encrypt, convert file type). - pretty, Apple-style image previews. I…
> pretty I'd have comments on other points as well but if there is one thing KDE apps generally aren't then they consistently aren't pretty. I know, eye of beholder, but it's almost as bad as TK. In the link you provided there are: - grooved borders between every second UI element. - icons are way too colorful with gradients everywhere. - underscore hints on menus are ugly. - places panel takes up way too much space…
I love the sheer amount of customizability and options KDE offers.
I recommend Flattr icons[0] and the Hex QtCurve Style[1]

> integrated command line whose PWD matches the directory shown in the graphic view. This is killer. This does sound good. I have a keyboard shortcut which launches a terminal in the current directory so that is kind of a workaround. >- automatic numbering if you rename a bunch of files. >- a tab-completeable navigation bar. >- integrated context menu items (e.g. send via email, compress, encrypt, convert file type).…

Man... the folks at Dell are just terrible at marketing. Look at that page the OP linked and the apple macbook page. There is absolutely no comparison. I had to make an effort to find pictures of their product. Even then, the pictures are completely distracting because of those ugly award logos they put on it. If I was Dell, I would just sit down my entire design and marketing team and make a plan for redesigning and…
Word. The freakin top end laptop is out of view and requires a click to even see it. I almost bailed because I didn't see an i7 option. I was browsing on my 27" with the browser full screen too... hard FAIL, Dell. I have a M3800 and am not unhappy with it, although the touchpad is too touchy and the fan is too fanny. Somebody needs to get their shit together and actually push Apple.
Are the individual LEDs under the keys controllable with software?
Looks like apple has finally introduced a netbook or iPad with a keyboard. Frankly, I'm disappointed with this macbook as I was expecting a full scale retina macbook air. After seeing the Dell XPS 13, I was hoping apple will take the retinafy the regular air. Ah well, the wait continues. Let's see -- 1. Resolution of 2304x1440 which means at Retina this is 1152x720!. This is worse than the 11 inch air, much less the…
This is where I stand as well. I have the 2011 MacBook Air 13" and I just wanted a version of my current computer with a retina screen (plus the latest processor). I don't want anything smaller/lighter and certainly nothing less powerful. With this update, we effectively have three choices: 1) Low powered, nice screen. (MB) 2) Medium powered, regular screen. (MBA) 3) High powered, nice screen. (MBP) What I want is 2'…
