Apple removed the ESC key from the latest MBP line up, one of the most important keys on the keyboard if you are a software developer, one of their most important markets.
Just that the picture is cut just below where the ESC key is on my MBA keyboard, but it shows a key there for something or other.

The ESC Key now sometimes appears on the TFT touch strip at the top of the screen, the problem I imagine is that the app has to tell the Mac what keys it wants in the strip, and most existing apps wont know how to. See the picture on Apple.

By the way, is it my imagination or are the new MacBook Pros completely, absurdly, ridiculously expensive? Two and a half thousand pounds for the 15 inch model; that's a grand more than a similarly spec'ed Surface Book. (And that includes a free Xbox One.)
No escape key. But Microsoft has recently announced some very, very expensive Surface laptops aimed at the graphics market.
They're A THOUSAND POUNDS CHEAPER - 1,500 vs 2,500 - on a like-for-like basis.
You're not just paying for the hardware, one of the reasons I go for macs is no blue screen of death.
Wouldn't a coke habit be cheaper ?
We have regular, random drug tests at work, though I do know when they are happening.
Ah, but more importantly, do you know who's being tested ? *Cough*
We once ran a major public event for young people for a new logo for a youth service.....we had a celebrity and press.... All the better entries had something of Goebbels about them, angular and menacing, so I had to get an artist to do something at the last minute and say he was an 11 year old from Gravesend. Surprisingly he wasn't there to win his prize. The logo still is there.

Shock Horror - NI court rules that NI is part of the UK and that UK decisions get made by UK PM. Can they please tell this to wee Jimmy Krankie!
@EdConwaySky: Last night Apple quietly raised the UK prices of its computers to reflect the fall in the pound. So a 4K iMac that was £1,199 is now £1,449
And there are the expats dealing with a 30% increase in living costs (no sympathy at all from the Brexiters)- I could get over 1.43 to the Euro a year ago/ now its down to about 1.08 (on my exchange).
But surely we are living in some parallel multiverse....yesterdays economic news, a slowdown in growth, and the continuation of Nissan- they all seem to be put through the prism of Brexit crapness whereby anything that isn't that crap is viewed as a resounding success for Brexit.
If remain had won I doubt very much we would have all been creaming our undies on slowing growth rates of 0.5%, or Nissans continuation of the NE contract.
Meanwhile the exchange rate is shocking, stagflation is coming, business investment is stalling, the deficit is increasing, the current account increasing....we are eight years from the last economic shock....and after Nissan yesterday we have shown just how open we are to blackmail from industry and the EU because of Brexit.
I don't think we could have picked a worse time to put us through the uncertainty of Brexit....when (not if) the next economic shock hits us....it'll be tough.
I think that a little dismal, though agree the supposed Brexit good news is merely bad news that hasn't happened.
My view is that things are rarely as good as they seem or as bad as they seem, just boringly in the middle.
By this principle a Wall St crash on a Trump victory would be a buying opportunity, as was Brexit. I made about 20× my Brexit gambling profit by buying back the shares that I had sold pre Brexit. Quite a nice little earner.

When did ESC last actually do anything other than (in some applications) exit full screen?
If you use vi - which is an old-school text editor that wires your brain directly to the document you're editing - there are two different modes of operation, and you use ESC a lot to switch between them.
However, ESC is a little bit far away, so it might be better to remap this to another key that you don't use much. I take it Apple haven't removed the Windows key?

Bangladesh lost 9 for 49, that scorecard looks like when Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis were at their pomp according to Derek Pringle.
Only two batsmen with more than 13, not a nice scorecard for the Banglas - but let's wait a couple of hours before too much gloating!
As someone who started following the England cricket team since 1990, I know it is wise never wise to gloat.
I remember 46 all out when we had dominated a test match.
Yes, don't remind me of '90s English cricket!! It was 2005 before we really found our mojo.
I became a cricket fan and a Tory in the 90s, you can't call me a glory hunter, apart from 1992 it was a grim time until 2005 when we won The Ashes and David Cameron became Tory leader.

Most interesting theory about the Nissan 'deal' and why the government isn't making it public.
Nissan are staying because they've been told we're staying in the single market and the customs union.
Mrs May will then announce a plethora of companies who will only stay on if we stay in both, and force the hard Brexiteers to be associated with an economic disaster.
On topic, the interesting thing about currency effects is that they should mess with the odds when you're betting in the currency in question.
Suppose Mark Carney wanted to do huge-scale helicopter money that would halve the value of the pound, but Theresa May thought it was a bad idea, so they agreed to toss a coin. Normally you'd expect the markets on a coin toss to be evens, showing a 50/50 probability. But if you bet in pounds, your winnings if Carney wins the toss would be worth only half as much (denominated in hard currency, like MacBooks) as your winnings if May wins, so you should require much better odds than evens to bet on Carney.
The upshot is that if Trump is very bad for the dollar, USD markets should appear to overestimate the likelihood of him winning, and that overestimate shouldn't be there in the GBP markets. We saw this in the opposite direction in the Brexit odds, meaning that the UK markets actually represented a higher probability of Brexit than people were claiming.
I don't think we're seeing this divergence? If I'm right then the markets don't expect Trump to represent a Brexit-style apocalypse for the US dollar.
Watching Trump rallies in Ohio this week, I'm reminded why they're held a lot in schools, factories, college towns, etc. Better a hostage crowd of kids or employees than people with lots of free time on a Thursday afternoon.

It's the Customs Union that represents the shackles of the EU - the inability to do trade deals elsewhere. If we stay in the CU then we haven't really left the EU in any meaningful way.

Zac Goldsmith today urged voters to send a message to Theresa May and help him fight a third runway at Heathrow— as the first poll in the Richmond Park by-election showed him clear favourite to win.
The former Tory MP would be re-elected with a majority of more than 10,000 if the vote were held now, according to the exclusive BMG Research survey for the Standard.

There is little doubt there will be a free trade agreement on automotive industry. The Nissan deal is the other side of the coin from "Germany wants to sell us all those cars". The big question marks are over services, especially finance, which are Britain's USP, and agriculture, which is always an intractable trade issue.

Single market yes, customs union probably not. Remember that goods originating from Norway are not subject to customs control despite Norway not being in the customs union.
The question is, and has always been, what measure of control on EU migration the government can achieve within the single market. I'm going for "not very much". I think by the end of 2020 we won't have tax credits and benefits will be paid on a contributory basis which will stem the flow of part time Romanian "self employed workers".
I also think over the longer term education reforms will mean a much less flexible labour market like Germany or Switzerland. That means the UK labour market will be a more like a closed shop with young people requiring qualifications to do almost anything, those without will need equivalence certification which will result in fewer arrivals.

I think the most important bit of the Nissan 'deal' has been missed.
At this point, the trade situation between Europe and the UK after Brexit is in flux. No matter what the UK government promises *on it's own*, it would virtually impossible to give assurances to keep Nissan happy. Even promised to pay all import duties in the EU wouldn't do that...
"UK government promises *on it's own*"
This strongly suggests to me that as part of the pre-negotiation negotiations between the UK and the EU, some kind of basis for an agreement has been sketched out.
Something that the UK government was given permission to show to third parties such as Nissan, in confidence. There would have had to have been permission - otherwise such a disclosure would have killed the pre-negotiation negotiations.
ADDED - Thinking about it, it is extremely probable that Nissan has also been sitting down with the EU side directly. So their happiness is a function of what they heard from the EU + the UK.

Norway is not a major part of the automotive supply chain, which is predicated on the customs union.
