Yeah, that's pretty much it. Apple sells more branded smartphones and, I believe, more personal computers and laptops than any other single brand. But that's because the technology of non-Apple devices is more open architecture and has been since the 1980s when you could build an IBM-type...

More people use Android. Apple has the largest market share, but a minority of devices.

Yeah, I've been plugging my phone in, everywhere I go, for years rather than use the Sync system. Good call.

It's funny, but I've found the converse to be true as well - especially this last year, discussing pandemic response with my European friends. Of course they're well-informed enough to have some sense of the scale of this country, but it's often not intuitive. They think of the U.S. as a...

Absolutely all good points. It goes without saying that as a civilization we've made greater adjustments in short periods of time as we transitioned from various technologies to newer ones. Also, as far as getting away from fossil fuels sufficiently to make the necessary impact on our...

Exactly. I think it's great that the option exists. Given the choice it seems likely that more and more folks will move in the direction of EVs and honestly that's good for our grandkids. I also think it's reasonable for the government to offer incentives for people to make certain purchases...

True enough. Any government will eventually violate human rights in pursuit of its goals. The virtue of democratic republics is to limit government power by putting tools into people's hands that enable them to correct and punish those excesses when they occur. That's the ideal version...

Closed captioning is a useful feature of most Youtube how-to videos. I often turn down the sound and read along, pausing the playback where necessary to see which menu item the instructor is clicking on the Photoshop toolbar, and so forth. And sorry, it's just a lot more helpful to see how a...

The best use for Youtube is instructional videos. Aside from what I've learned about doing (minor) things with my car, I'm currently teaching myself Photoshop using Youtube. It's an incredibly powerful and multi-featured product, and you can find step-by-steps to even some of the most...

I dunno, the similarities to the S550 are so great that you'd have to wonder who at Ford would say "You know, I think the evolutionary approach has paid off for Camaro, we ought to follow their lead..." OTOH, stuff like the rear treatment and side pipes are trivial at this stage in the process...
