Being visual and interactive is key, I believe, to engage with kids on what can be considered most of the times an abstract endeavour.

Crystal is a great language and surely has a bright future for those who love ruby syntax.

Those estimates were truly helpful and we could adapt in order to get more battery time. I don't feel good about Apple updates anymore. I used to be eager about beta tests and stuff, but nowadays I just hope they'll not touch anything else.

Great upgrade, btw. I want to see what are apple's next moves, I just secured more 4-5 years on a great and stable laptop.

Just speculating: maybe Tim Cook wants to force a decline in sales in order to justify the killing of the low-performant MacBook line? Hackintoshes are fairly common nowadays and external keyboard and trackpad 2 can keep the great interaction provided by OSX.
