Which kind of makes the one port thing a joke. You have to buy (and carry around) a multi adaptor to use it! Plus I bet it wasn't cheap.
Design over function. Can't we have both?

I just check the Apple store, that contraption is $79! Yikes!

But I guess with more than one port, they wouldn't be able to sell that item.

The new MB would be more functional if there were two ports, one on each side. It would be awesome to be able to plug the Mac in from either side!
 
accessories for the bicycle:
Velo plush seat with springs in the bottom. this thing is huge and comfy, my butt will thank me.
Bell radian 650 lights with led's and theft resistant mount system

Saddles like that are actually more uncomfortable than you think if you do any length of riding more than down the street to get ice cream.
 
I take it you don't ride that often maybe?

I'm running a super-slim, lightweight seat on my XC-machine. My butt only hurts during the first one or two runs of the season. You get used to it pretty quickly! :)

Agreed. I run a Specialized Phenom on both of my fixed gear bikes and they are both comfortable on long rides. I also have a Specialized Avatar and a Selle San Marco as extras and they are equally comfortable.

How long do you ride? Time and distance. My butt starts hurting around the 35 to 40 mile mark. I haven't gone much over 50 miles in a ride yet but that has always been the case with me. I am a little bit hefty so my weight probably doesn't help my butt much. I ride about 5 days a week to work. 10 miles round trip, then Saturday morning I usually do about 50 miles and it takes about 4 hours. Not a very fast pace, but if I pick up my pace some maybe I could be done before my butt hurts.

Have you checked out the price of the new 5W folding power adapter for Apple Watches here in the UK? £25 or $39.40. Yep.

Are you riding with any type of padded shorts for these longer rides? 10 mile round trip doesn't necessitate it, but a 50 mile ride definitely would.
 
What type of bike is this on, and what type of riding do you do, i.e. mileage, terrain etc.

29" mountain bike... urban, city terrain

I love tube audio, so I ordered this tubedepot.com Tubecube 7 amp for my secondary Mac Mini setup which includes my old Monitor Audio 700 Gold MKII loudspeakers. It's only 3.5 watts per channel. That said, I don't listen to loud music anymore. In case you didn't know, tube power blows away solid state amps of the same power rating. This will be more that adequate for my near field setup..

That's cool. I've never seen anything like that before.

Picked up a used Monopoly Premier 70th Anniversary Edition. Comes in a decent quantity wood cabinet. Can't wait to break it in.
