Some say "streamline", some say "offering choice" - nothing wrong with either side.

I wonder where Apple is headed these days…

I know some people would snuff their nose up with the mentioning of Apple these days…with Steve gone…but all the same…who knows?

The one thing that bugs me right now about Apple is quality control. Don't get me wrong, I think the latest Apple products are of great quality…but the one thing that still burns in my mind - where does this end?

So are PC manufacturers removing the Optical Drive even though customers still want one included as well?

When i recently came over to Mac I discounted getting a retina as it didn't have an optical drive. Since i got my macbook 3 months ago I haven't used the optical drive once.

I've only had to burn a CD three times, and that was just for one class. Could have easily done it at the Library iMacs or in class actually.
