Here’s why I still like Facebook. A friend shared a posting by Piaw Na<\/a>, regarding the new MacBook laptop computers<\/a>:<\/p>\n

First they came for the optical drive, and I said nothing, because I didn’t need it. Then they came for the removable battery, upgradeable RAM, and upgradeable Mass Storage, and I said nothing, because work paid for my computer and they replaced it every 2 years anyway. Then they came for my ethernet port, and I said nothing, because I had great WiFi. When they finally came for my magsafe connector, USB-A port, and SD Card slot, there was no one to speak up for me, because only fashionistas were in my market segment. (With apologies to MARTIN NIEM\u00d6LLER). (Note I’m not a Mac user, and don’t really care — Apple does not cater to me with ANY of their devices. I’m just watching the blow-back with mild interest, like a cyclist riding around a massive car crash that’s caused a massive backup for the car drivers stuck behind it)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
