Making software not-backwards compatible is fine and normal but if files expire in a few years Apple is saying that the things you do on their computers are disposable.

To get to the point, as a 12 year old coming from a home with absolutely no disposable income, free was the only option I had to try my hand and building a website. I had just built a computer the year before and thought it would be a nifty idea to try my hand in programming.

It goes into the dangers of the tiles, how the costs would spiral, the danger of relying on a single launch vehicle, the benefits of disposable rockets, and other warnings that ended up being right. The article talks about how unlikely the shuttle was to achieve the expected 500 flights, and would more likely only have 200 flights.

What I completely fail to understand with all the Snowden revelations and stories like this is that Silicon Valley tech folks have enormous salaries and high disposable income.

The "more efficient and longer lasting" case materials he brags about are irrelevant in their disposable products made of low quality components that are not user serviceable or upgradable.

In the 60's the Swiss freaked out because the Japanese started producing cheap, disposable watch movements. The result of this was a huge loss of Swiss watch companies as they struggled to compete. One of the ideas they came up with was to produce a large number of cheap watches, but they couldn't just drop prices, they also had to retool and drop quality, substantially. The cylinder escapement was not a new invention in the 60's, but it started to get a lot of use around then. On a personal note, these are terrible things. They were designed to be disposable, and subsequently were marketed to kids quite often.
