Of course he was given a Zune. You really think he can find a copy of iTunes in order to use an iPod? I mean the odds of finding a USB interface and music in a supported encoding are already astronomically small... But at least with Zune you can just copy the files over, instead of using proprietary software.

It's been years since I've used linux, but my muscle memory for copying/pasting in the terminal is still there, to the point of it being the reason I can't use non Mac layout keyboards in OSX. I'll just keep pressing shift if I'm in the terminal.

Are you kidding me? "Which Android" doesn't even make sense in terms of the browser, it's not tied to OS releases and is therefore the same on every phone (except freaking Samsung... Their browser is even worse than Safari). Maybe WordPress sites that need a "carousel" work better on iOS, but I can't tell you how many times I've had to go back and fix something because it won't work on iOS right. I can tell you, however, that that number is now higher than it is for ie10. So yes, it IS the new internet explorer.

This. Whatever Atom's flaws are, the fact that it's not just one developer releasing updates once a year gives it an edge in my book.

If all you do is use a browser, the real answer isn't Linux, it's a Chromebook.

Which of course is Linux. But still.

I feel like Apple is killing smart watches. Android watches are cheap enough that they can make incremental improvements and everyone would be fine with it. Even then, I have the huawei watch, and it's already so, so much better than the apple watch. And cheaper. So I worry that people are going to get fed up with the apple watch before Android watches get a chance to really take off.
