Please, no! Then we'll be back to "This has a virus. Buy me something else!!"“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

Quoth RealUnimportant View PostA quick search online shows (sponsored) articles demonstrating a tiny improvement in battery life on Androids, mostly extrapolated from meagre datapoints. I also saw a link to a version on the App Store; purely due to how iOS sandboxes everything and prevents apps from intercommunication I would expect no benefit at all in that situation. No report of harm though.

Quoth Buzzard View PostReading further down in the comments shows a darker fate in store: The advertisements. Their products are a rather kind of a side effect tacked on to ad delivery, and the ads aren't exactly ...healthy for you."If we refund your money, give you a free replacement and shoot the manager, then will you be happy?" - sign seen in a restaurant

Quoth Nunavut Pants View PostI already know that, but no way in h**l am I going to point it out to her!!!!
Turns out that my boss had bought them for pretty much that reason. This created more problems than it solved, the biggest of which was that there was no way to set up software that could deal with student printing (we charged for students to print) - our workaround was this tedious-as-shit process that I hated BIG time.
Thankfully for my current job, the only folks who have Macs are the publishing team and the website design guy. Everyone else uses Windows (although we do have some slight issues with some of the laptops still using an older version of Windows)
