A couple of days ago, I was at a popular mall in San Diego. I noticed that this mall had both an Apple store and a Microsoft store. I also notice that the Apple store was very busy and the Microsoft store was almost completely empty.

I wake up early, because it's already 100 degrees outside and the air conditioning is having a hard time keeping up. I turn on the computer, wait for it to boot - let all the useless programs load into my task bar.
I pop open a Diet Coke for breakfast and look at my iPhone. I don't know why. Back to my computer - email has just popped up.
