		<description><![CDATA[&quot;It is extremely inefficient to drive a tank to the corner store&quot;

But you cannot deny that some people would think of such a mode of transportation as ideal. =)

I&#039;m somewhat adverse to &#039;smart-thingies&#039; as you call them, because I really don&#039;t like the idea of carrying an always-on GPS with me. We&#039;ve heard of Apple&#039;s crimes, storing information on users for prolonged periods of time. Android yes, but to a much lesser extent.

I hate even carrying a symbian cellphone around because I&#039;d rather contact people on my terms. I do enjoy anonynimity. 

Personal opinion aside, each computer you listed is a tool to get a certain job done. The general all-purpose PC is becoming less &quot;all-purpose&quot; and more &quot;general-purpose&quot;. You can scale it a bit, make it a small server, small 3d development or audio studio, can make skype/voip calls, can take notes, etc...
But a desktop is not mobile, and laptops are hard to use as phones and generally do not include touchscreens.

I wouldn&#039;t use Google OS if I could help it, but I can&#039;t help but admire their technical strength and the creation of valuable tools for IT. Something M$ has missed for years.]]></description>
