Somehow Firefox interpreted the backspace key as a keypress on submit.
Anyway, picking up where I left off unintentionally-

Apple is slowly turning the world of computing into a crapshoot. Their new
Macbook features a fused display (which is incredibly expensive to
replace), a proprietary SSD, RAM that is *soldered to the motherboard*, and
a battery that is glued to the inside of the case. Three words come to mind
after reading about this: "stuck with it".

If you wanna cringe a little, the rundown is on step 22 of this article:

<Gena> I read something a while back about this new technique to safely
weld plastic, to make things completely seamless.
<Gena> Soon, this will be all Apple products, I think.
