With the ability to carry Ethernet, FireWire, USB, and DisplayPort, you might think Thunderbolt , but, like us mere mortals, it too has limitations. Apple explains a few of those in a couple of Knowledge Base documents, but, frankly, we're not sure we're ready to believe that Thunderbolt has any sort of flaws quite yet.

You've got two Apple IDs with apps, videos, and other purchases attached both of them! Yes, it's a scene straight out of a stereotypical horror movie, but if a report at MacRumors is any indication, a hero might soon swoop in to save you--Apple itself. The company is supposedly working on a way to merge separate Apple IDs, which is good news for all of us tech savvy folks and the technologically-unsavvy relatives we no doubt support.
