compostable

It's one more thing to lug around, keep charged, etc.

Android is a deal breaker though for many people. For example, I don't want to worry about whether I have Ice Cream Cookie, Yogurtland, Lolly Pop, etc. I don't want to have to run Norton Antivirus on it. In fact, I don't want to be forced to think about security at all. I want an app store with trusted apps, not hackers.

A Chromebook has a great advantage for creation when used for things like Google Docs. Many kids become prolific writers, especially since they are teaching typing in 3rd grade. It's amazing to see your kid bang out a story for fun.

It's one more thing to lug around. No one is saying that a mouse is hard to use, the point is that touch screens are even more intuitive. I have heard anecdotal evidence of very young babies, like 9 months - 1 year, using ABC apps. They just "get it" and for them, "it just works".

This is a real shame. Our family has really enjoyed our iPad Minis. They have lasted so long that it makes more sense for the kids to get MacBooks next ( in addition to needing iPhones anyway ). But otherwise I would have happily refreshed them by purchasing the latest model. The form factor is ideal for kids.

Honestly, cancel the trip. Meet in Canada instead.

Did you ever have to stand outside in the winter, in ice and show, with the hood propped open, spraying starting fluid into the carburetor, and manually holding the throttle open, so that your engine could get to the proper temperature?

Did you ever floor a car and have the engine shut off because there was too much fuel?

No thanks, I don't want to go back to those days!

Isn't the point of inspection so that you can perform a REJECT, based on some rejection rate parameter ( which is chosen by business economic reality )

This is the core of the TQM/Six Sigma theory

Your credentials have been accepted.

Hmmm, we are going to have to check your credentials. In your opinion what is the best Chinese restaurant in either LA or SF?

Some guy went to jail for doing this.
