I totally agree it takes away from the experience of being there. My daughter played a lot of softball growing up, and sadly I don't have any videos of it to enjoy now. Mainly because the few times I tried, I just didn't feel like I was watching the games. So I put the camera down and enjoyed the event.
I know a lot of people use linux, but our shop uses exclusively Apple macbook pros for developers. The system admins lobbied for it because they claim they are much easier to maintain, and OS X gives us a BSD-based system to develop on. Apple is fantastic for professional developers, not just grandma using Facebook.

How about, "I don't have time to write tests."
