Apple's Disappointing Refresh

Apple recently announced the most magical, insanely great, life-changing computers in their history — or did they?The new machines are thinner and lighter — and more expensive, and less expandable than ever.  
First, let’s talk about the machine.
  • the new MacBook Pros are thinner and lighter than their predecessors. That’s great, but the last thing I care about is how thin my laptop is (within reason), and, by the way, this is only 3 millimeters (or a tenth of an inch) thinner than the old one.
  • The top of the line configuration (and you’d better buy that one if you want this computer for the long haul, as there is literally zero user upgradability in the ones with the Touch Bar) costs a blistering $4,300 — and still only has 16GB of RAM. Let’s hope you don’t need to run any virtual machines.
  • Thunderbolt 3/USB-C is a “total nightmare.” I almost ended this section with just that sentence, but seriously, go read that post. It’s amazing how poor the compatibility is with the “Universal” ports on the machine.You may be able to plug your machine into a USB-C power supply — but if you use the wrong cable, you may physically damage the machine.

A historic event in India Rs.500, Rs.1000 notes Banned | New 500 & 2000 rupee notes | SBI working to make Rs 100 notes available

Image
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today announced the demonetization of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 currency notes. Deepak Kanakaraju of DigitalDeepak.com puts forth his opinion on the historic move.. First, people who have a lot of cash, legally earned, will deposit it in the bank. This will increase bank’s deposits by a huge margin. This will also increase the lending activity because banks have a CRR (cash reserve ratio) to maintain and with more deposits they can do more lending. Credit (loans) will become easier and interest rates may come down. More loans given out increases broad money supply and creates inflation. But this will happen slowly, not over-night.
