If you are buying electronics, buy it from Best Buy, Costco, Target, Walmart or another retailer with a physical store. Best Buy matches Amazon's prices and their merchandise is not fake.
I write journals and notes on OneNote. Microsoft has done a really great job with OneNote, it works great across platforms, I use it on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android.
I disagree with passion. The vision of Larry Page and Sergey Brin is responsible for Google's success. Jeff Dean, Sanjay Ghemawat executed Page and Brin's ideas, but they were not the key decision makers. Did Dean and Ghemawat decide to buy and then build Android? Did they decide to build Google Maps? Did they decide to buy YouTube?. The answer is no. Page and Brin would have hired other smart people if Dean and Ghemawat weren't available or had they left Google.
