> 3) Apple is now the first to use USB 3 Type C

Didn't the Chromebook Pixel 2 come out slightly before the MacBook?

Yes, the MacBook was released April 10, but the Chromebook Pixel was already shipping USB type-C in March. Someone in the other Thunderbolt type-C thread also mistakenly claimed that Apple was the first company to use type-C.

I believe the MacBook was technically the first USB-C device announced (and rumors about it go all the way back to last year), but the Pixel shipped earlier.

Actually, the Nokia N1 tablet was announced late 2014, shipped in China earlier this year, and featured a Type C port.

Color me corrected.

It's not a big deal. No doubt both products were being developed long before they were announced, so Apple and Google were both ready to be the early adopter.

Now I'm just waiting for something to connect to the Pixel via a Type C <-> Type C connector, other than another Pixel ;)

How about a 2TB SSD with a performance rating of 850 MBps?
