OP doesn't account for all the dongles you would have to buy, that could easily come out to about ~$200 per Macbook - which puts the price much closer to the Surface Book's with equivalent ports.

FYI Google's codebase is also heavily Java. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to judge companies/projects based on the language they use. [Edit: Okay, maybe I misunderstood that part]

Did the other interviewers also ask similar questions?

Hmm. I think data showing hiring vs time for companies would be more relevant than average tenure of an employee.

i.e. The faster a company grows, the less likely/harder it is to maintain culture and enforce hiring/recruiting standards - I can see how that may lead to shitty interview questions.

I don't think this post fits well with the HN guidelines - http://ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html

It seems superficial and cynical, and doesn't seem to have anything useful to say. (Also, the post is tagged as 'Industry News'...??)
