It looks that Uber just don't want to deal with any legal issue.


I absolutely agree with the touch bar, I think it's more like just a gimmick feature and don't have any real function. In addition, sometimes I accidentally mute my computer thanks to the Touch Bar button on the right side.

I also heard about the keyboard problems, but so far I didn't experience any, it works well, but yeah, the feeling is different and you can dislike it.


I have a touch bar. I find it kind of neat and occasionally useful but I would not pay extra for it.

The keyboard is fine. I don't have a strong preference for it vs. the older Mac keyboard or vice versa.

My speculation is that the touch bar is a toe in the water of software defined keyboard interfaces. In the future they could make the entire bottom panel of the Mac a haptic software defined interface. The touch bar API and chip/platform would be the basis for that.

On the rest of the machine I agree that "thin and light" has become a cargo cult at Apple. I'd like more battery, more RAM, and a faster process more than thinner and lighter. But the machine works for me and it's still overall better than most alternatives.


I wouldn't give up the thin and light build, but I travel a lot with it, even in the office :)


I hope it won't mean less feature. However, I don't like the new Adwords either, the UI is better, but the whole UX is a crap, I have to read tons of articles to find the good old features.


I don't think it's a bad thing by itself if children have access to the main communaction platforms to chat with their friends and communicate with their parents. However, I agree, parents should be prepared when they let their children to use the web.


You are welcome! :) I use PH a few times per month, so I don't know how I could miss it so far, it was absolutely new for me. Its a great collection by the way! Nice job! :)


According to the Product Hunt, it is the KintuLabs and it's CEO (?): https://twitter.com/KintuLabs


It really depends on the company culture, but in a lot of cases, going for a cigarette break is not equivalent with taking time away from your work. There are a lot of brainstorming and work related discussion can happen, jut like in a tea or coffee break.


I'm just interested in one thing, when will the itunes app get a facelift? :)


I turned off all the unnecessary notification like Twitter, Facebook, Messenger... etc. both on my computer and smartphone, I only check them when I have a little spared time to do so. They started to disturb me and actually they didn't help to keep the flow at all :)

It's still not completely mobile-phone free, but now I'm absolutely okay with the amount of my smartphone usage time.


I just can't believe this can happen in 2017... like if we were in the 90s. HSBC doesn't have a clue how a business works nowadays.
