Love that Apple keeps adding "features" like this. Not even SlimBatteryMonitor still works thanks to this update.

What a time to be alive, watching Apple choke on their own arrogance.

Their one shot at a big comeback is the iPhone 10th anniversary edition. If it is as much of a smash hit as Robert Scoble keeps heralding then Apple will be golden for another decade.

This hilarious Scoble piece?

I wonder what he has been smoking.

I love this sentence:

"You pop it into a headset which has eye sensors on it, which enables the next iPhone to have a higher apparent frame rate and polygon count than a PC with a Nvidia 1080 card in it."

That's quite an insult to pot. Robert Scoble is just an idiot.
Definitely not pot. Probably bath salts.
You can smoke things other than pot...

Interesting. Ive said that the touch bar was the first step in a new paradigm. Maybe the next step is connect your iPhone as the display. That would explain why Apple stopped investing in displays.

I'm using Battery Monitor (http://www.rockysandstudio.com/index.html#freeapps) and it works great.

Of course, it would've been better if I didn't have to install a third-party app and I had one less icon in my menu bar, but whatever.

Bonus points: easy to add in tmux-powerline running fullscreen in iTerm2

Maybe it'll be a special collector's piece, like the Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh.
