Is Apple taking the lazy way out with the MacBook Pro 13?
Apple debuted a "new" MacBook Pro 13 during WWDC. The older design mixed in with the newer lineup makes Apple look sloppy and lazy.

Users can easily root their phones to install custom ROMs and custom kernels, use powerful automation tools like Tasker, and do much more. However, rooting or modifying an Android phone does have a few downsides. For instance, some apps and games simply refuse to work on modded devices. This brings us to our discussion topic for today.
