This might well be the dumbest thing I see all day and I read political news. Is Joe Wilcox​​ really trying to claim that a smartphone, any smartphone, is more productive than a laptop?

Quick! Someone, anyone, how many words per minute can you type on an iPhone? Joe claims kids are more used to touch screens, but conveniently forgets that Chromebooks come in touchscreen format. And then there's the nearly $1000 pricetag for the next iPhone, whose technology will still be a few years behind Android, vs. the couple hundred dollars for a top of the line Chromebook.

He also conveniently forgets that Chromebooks beat iPad market share in education a few years ago and no one but Apple has cried over it.

If Windows 10 mobile can get off the ground it could take over this area as well.
Contrary to "popular" opinion, it's really not that bad of a device.
If the app playing field could be leveled, there would be slot of surprised people out there.

Colin Fahey, I enjoyed Win10 (mobile) when I played with it. Nothing wrong with that software at all other than the lack of an app store, but remember when the iWhores also said the same thing about Android?

Apps are the failings of anything that issnt android or ios.
It's a shame to. There are other awesome OS out there.

That's why we need better mobile experiences and less "download our app now."

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
