Google fangirl?
Sounds like the wife was a Google fangirl. In all honesty, Google fanboys and girls remind me of early Microsoft fanboys and girls of the late '80s / early '90. But I won't go there (as I'll get everyone against me).
In any case, as a Linux professional, I'm honestly tired of the crap that is turning out in Android. Apple has done it better, by far, and shows what BSD UNIX can do. Google might understand content delivery, but they have a lot to learn about the platform experience and support.
And that's why I had no problem buying my wife an iPad, even though I'm an Open Source fanboy. What baby wants, baby gets. Why? It's simple, baby gives head. And the iPad is a solid design too. Of course, baby gives head.
