I'm using a Nokia N8 and while it has the whole slew of smartphone applications, most of them are outdated or don't work anymore. But I hesitate to part with it because of the badass camera and some unhealthy attachment for Nokia Belle (Symbian). I find the two current options (Android and iOS) inferior in terms of performance and flexibility.
It's troubling to see people asking for the internet search business to have one less competitor. Less competition is always a bad thing for the consumer.
Hell, google already gets away with pretty much any breach of privacy, data mining, remote software execution, etc. they like. Imagine them when there are no other options in terms of web search and related services?
I guess it's because they have to market these planned obsolesence devices somehow, make people think they need the latest device with facebook integration and iPhone controls, because otherwise, there aren't significant advancements in the last few decades in terms of fridges, or toasters or washing machines. To sell a new one to someone with an already functioning device, they have to make it shinier, more exciting, with connectivity to their latest iOS and android device, so the customer feels like he's living in the world of tomorrow, today.
In reality, the novelty wears off after a couple of weeks, you never use your TV to check your facebook and the fridge just turns into a fridge.

Also when you die in the game, you die for real.

He didn't even bother singing the free software song.

Of course; minors would never use the internet to browse porn.
It is a bit better in terms of privacy, since you can unplug a windows computer from the internet and it will still work.

Did you know Space Cop took 12 years to make? That's amazing!
Joel never really did any episodes with Bill Corbett as Crow. You're probably thinking of Trace Beaulieu, who also played Dr. Forrester.

Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett aren't involved, so no, thanks.
Most of us here do not have Lenovo laptops, and never will.
