I agree there might not be a wide range of choice but this runs the most popular operating system, has arguably one of the best keyboards from legacy phone manufactures who's focus was keyboard input and up to date specs. Not only is it not "no choice" it would probably be one of the better choices had we a wider range available.

I often search for things at home on my personal laptop only to see them on my facebook at work on a different location/machine.

I assume its due to the fact your amazon has been linked to her facebook account at one point or another as you were logged in to both at some point.

Rarely as a Japanese businessman can you quit a job and find another job at either the same or higher pay grade.

The market here revolves around hiring university graduates up to a year before they graduate and then training them from the start in whatever position you want them to do. Very few people change jobs and if you jump from jobs every 3-5 years its seen a negative sign on your CV.

Thats kind of my point. Its been almost 4 years and apple hasn't made the devices (at the same price bracket) any more performant.

Will the software they make over the next 4 years stay at the same level of requirements and run just as smoothly as everything seems to run on my air after 3 years?

I am not sure that is the case looking at how the OS is moving and how they are treating performance.

Do you honestly believe that the current macbook (note the 12" not the new pro) will not wanes in performance in the next 4 years as we have historically seen with the macbook air?

I ask because while my macbook air coming up to 3 years and feels almost like a brand new machine - the current 12" is actually slower than my air. Can i really expect that to have 4 years of solid performance updates on the macbook?

In that case should i expect my air to last me the next 4 years and do just well for a solid 8 years of great performance?

Probably because its recently been linked here with the address.

I still don't understand the business though. Why focus on subscription websites when all you seem to be doing is design and hosting? Does it come with a subscription e-commerce platform built in?

Interesting. Is that a single account or multiple as Google charges per use right?

Have you not found any risk in users using the service as a cheap design and build and then hosting the sites else where after?

Seems more than suspicious when every question reads like an FAQ of yes we do this. Specially when some strange examples like calling the USCIS is brought up.

|1. Content creators have to be paid, or much of the web I know and love will cease to exist. 2. Life without ads is much better.

One of the nice things about ads is that it allows many users to browse content for free - subsidised by those that interact with adverts.

If advertising were to go away and micro-payments replace it - how do users get free access to content subsidised by the masses? I can freely browse the most internet today from anywhere in the world regardless of my income situation. A micro-payments barrier to entry isn't going to allow that.

Also those who are most likely to pay for a solution like this are likely the most affluent who are likely to be the ones clicking and buying products through advertising.

You use this as an example to how Google no longer subscribes to "don't be evil".

At the same time how can Google protect its UI/UX if the patent system allows for cases like this? What if Microsoft or Apple went for the same patent and stopped Google from using it?

Sure, so how long has Linda been using the Apple Pencil?

Also how many of the packages designers are using are available on iOS?

Also no mention of the surface. Seems like we are missing a much better direct comparison.
