why ?

 

When Google got into the browser business it made sense. They have a product that is the envy of their worst competitors, Google search . And the search product is completely dependent on those same cheating lying backstabbing competitors. It's enough to make you worry.

But why get into the phone business? Only one company has a long standing reputation for making all the software and hardware themselves, Apple. Microsoft has tried, but generally fails. And even Apple customers use Google search, in fact everybody uses Google search. It feels liked Google has gone Apple on us. They want it all. All your business, all the money, all the markets, all of everything. Frankly they even sound like Apple. We are going to take away features because...WE don't want them. The strange paradox is that the more successful these guys become the more we the consumer will lose. We lose those lean hungry young companies that are desperate to win your business and throw in tons of cool features nobody wants, just to make you happy. Instead we hear things like, nobody wants a headphone jack, who needs an SD card, not you. Please quiet down and buy another Pixel phone.


Well Google, where is Atari today? Where is Sears? Not to mention the Roman empire. You're never too big to fail.

pixel 2 xl , 3xl, 4xl

 I currently own a pixel 2 XL. At this point it is a 5-year-old design. It still gets pretty good reviews on the internals even for being so old. Apparently some of the progress has kind of slowed down. Processor improvements and even camera improvements are minimal. It took excellent pictures 5 years ago and it still takes excellent pictures today. Having said that the pixel 3 and pixel 4 are starting to come down in price quite a bit. So let's talk about that. The pixel 3 has some improvements but nothing major. The big thing that everybody points out between the pixel 3 and the pixel 2 is the screen. The pixel 2 screen is somewhat faded looking compared to the typical phone. It's still very sharp the colors are still in color and it works just fine, but really it doesn't look like something that used to cost $950. Still that's what they sold it for. So that alone really doesn't make it worth upgrading to pixel 3. The pixel 3 screen is slightly bigger but the pro...

spirits

  It's becoming evident that the planet is saturated in spirits and, dare I say it, demons. They really are everywhere. If you get an uneasy feeling, you most likely are under attack. They are real, it's not some psychological anomaly or left over distant frustration from your childhood.

God

  Throughout my life God has been working to bring things about and make things available when needed. A while back my wife and I divorced after 33 years of marriage. Shortly after that she died. Throughout the entire process there were many many things that occurred that just came together. For instance an apartment just happened to be available the same week that it was needed. Then other apartments became available as they were needed. Without looking much. Also my company fired me shortly after her death. But they also insisted that they would pay unemployment benefits. This just happened to coincide with covid-19. So my unemployment benefits were more than normal because of covid. Also medical benefits were made available, which was unexpected. Then my car died and another car was made available at a rock bottom price. It was a great car and did well for over 70,000 miles. There were many other small things that came into play. It's really incredible to see how God does things...
