@skematica Every company has an area where they suck rocks through straws and fart dead pigeons. For apple, it's anything to do with the cloud that isn't called iTunes.

Don't make me come over there. It'd mean airports and those just make me more cross.

No idea what it is with Ubuntu and I. I've used more distros than I can even recall. Built it from scratch. Even downloaded just the kernel back in the late 90s. Nothing has given me headaches like Ubuntu from Ibex on.

@skematica Not so much preaching as expressing bewilderment that I'm using multiple apple products.

This is combining two things I have been at war with. You saw how ubuntu and I got along a few days ago. Combining it with that Nexus 7 would result in bloodshed.

@skematica It's funny because I had loathed Apple products from clear back in the 8 bit computing era. But, they make excellent devices. Not as hackable or fun from the geek side as Google bug definitely solid, fast and trouble free.

Even more amazing is the aforementioned tiny device has been at it for over an hour and has 93 percent of its battery remaining.

Sometimes I have to stop and boggle at the fact that I am having conversations with people from all over the world, updating my calendar, answering customer questions and listening to New Age music on a single device smaller than a steno pad.

Seems like yesterday I was checking FIDO, opening QWK packets, scribbling notes on a bound ledger and listening to a 300 watt Pioneer and Polk Audio Studios.

Where did the time go?

I've been avoiding that stuff for a while because it sounds like just the sort of rabbit hole I would get lost in. :)

First time I've loaded up the music app on this thing in a while. Painfully obvious that I'm going to have to move away from apple for music soon.

They are so broadcasting their punches with the cloud-only music thing.

Okay. It's bourbon and relaxing music time. My day featured 5.25 floppies. I deserve this for my suffering.
