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.

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.

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...

pixel 2 XL camera focus

  For almost a year the camera focus has been irritating at times. Especially when taking close up pictures. The camera would focus on stuff that was further away because it took up more of the field of view. Then finally this morning the thought occurred, why not click on what you want in focus and see what happens. And here are the results.   Notice June 13 is out of focus.   By clicking on 13 the focus automatically changes and then take the picture.   I'm hopeful that Jesus will figure out some way to get those Google guys into heaven.    Here is an example of a fantastic picture ruined by focus problems.    Armed with the new knowledge of resetting the focus more fantastic pictures can be produced.
