Which kind of makes the one port thing a joke. You have to buy (and carry around) a multi adaptor to use it! Plus I bet it wasn't cheap.
Design over function. Can't we have both?

I just check the Apple store, that contraption is $79! Yikes!
But I guess with more than one port, they wouldn't be able to sell that item.
The new MB would be more functional if there were two ports, one on each side. It would be awesome to be able to plug the Mac in from either side!

Saddles like that are actually more uncomfortable than you think if you do any length of riding more than down the street to get ice cream.

What type of bike is this on, and what type of riding do you do, i.e. mileage, terrain etc.

I take it you don't ride that often maybe?
I'm running a super-slim, lightweight seat on my XC-machine. My butt only hurts during the first one or two runs of the season. You get used to it pretty quickly!

Agreed. I run a Specialized Phenom on both of my fixed gear bikes and they are both comfortable on long rides. I also have a Specialized Avatar and a Selle San Marco as extras and they are equally comfortable.

How long do you ride? Time and distance. My butt starts hurting around the 35 to 40 mile mark. I haven't gone much over 50 miles in a ride yet but that has always been the case with me. I am a little bit hefty so my weight probably doesn't help my butt much. I ride about 5 days a week to work. 10 miles round trip, then Saturday morning I usually do about 50 miles and it takes about 4 hours. Not a very fast pace, but if I pick up my pace some maybe I could be done before my butt hurts.

Have you checked out the price of the new 5W folding power adapter for Apple Watches here in the UK? £25 or $39.40. Yep.

Are you riding with any type of padded shorts for these longer rides? 10 mile round trip doesn't necessitate it, but a 50 mile ride definitely would.

No but I have considered buying a pair of padded riding shorts. I would say that is my biggest issue with going further than 50 miles. Is that it starts getting uncomfortable.

I love tube audio, so I ordered this tubedepot.com Tubecube 7 amp for my secondary Mac Mini setup which includes my old Monitor Audio 700 Gold MKII loudspeakers. It's only 3.5 watts per channel. That said, I don't listen to loud music anymore. In case you didn't know, tube power blows away solid state amps of the same power rating. This will be more that adequate for my near field setup..

I've been wanting something like this for the longest time, but the prices were more than I wanted to spend. This little amp is only $179.95 and got great reviews. Read this if you're interested.

It arrived. Within it's power limits, it sounds fantastic. I've got about 30 hours on it so far.
