Four months with Android: reflections, grievances and some tenuous metaphors bundled up into a weighty tome
OR, The longest, most awkward dinner of my life
tl;dr version: I’m really glad to have an iPhone 4S.
(Note: this was written over multiple days, spaced weeks apart.)
I approached this experiment with a lot of questions, the primary of which was quite simple: why do people use Android? I had my own preconceived answers — they dislike Apple or couldn’t get an iPhone for one reason or another — but I dove in with an open mind regardless. After over four months of Android 2.3 on a Nexus S, I’m left mostly answerless.
That’s not to say I didn’t learn a lot. I have a solid grasp of what makes Android Android, the ins-and-outs of the OS, and, yes, there are even a few really great features I will miss as I transition back to iOS.
But at the end of the day I’m left with mostly a bad taste in my mouth. What follows is a summation of four months exclusively using Android. They’re my opinions. I’m not trying to sway anyone away from the platform, and I’m not looking to troll Android fanboys. I am but one man who likes stupid gadgets and decided to conduct a dumb experiment. Let’s go.
My god :-(
I can’t wait for the iPhone 4s. My current phone blows soooo hard!
In Kenya, a lion cub fell down a steep cliff, but fortunately his mother was there to save him. And fortunately for us, a photographer captured the whole touching scene on camera. aaaaand I’m instantly in a better mood.
Wow. Amazing :)
Deformed puppy, rescued from trash, learns to walk | Today
Harper the pit bull was born with a condition called “swimmer puppy disorder,” and most dogs that have it don’t survive. The disorder causes rigid limbs and tight muscles, leaving puppies lying flat on their chests with their legs splayed out.
After being found in a garbage bag and taken to an animal shelter where she was scheduled to be euthanized, Harper was rescued by shelter worker Erica Daniel and can walk now thanks to hydrotherapy and love.
