Apple 13 Inch Retina Laptop: A Review (Contains References to Fire, Alcohol and Bananas)

This morning I was going to write something clever, or maybe even funny, or at the very least less incoherent and probably less about ducks. I was going to raise the bar. As the bar is on the floor after the last couple of weeks of fever posts I thought this would not be hard. […]
