Re: All the Gear
You could align me with Microsoft, but I run a Samsung phone, so that's out. And I have nothing against Google either, they just don't do anything worth paying for, unless its advertising.
Speaking of which, I'm about to ditch Chrome as my default browser. I'm starting to get all sorts of issues and Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 is bloody good.

Re: All the Gear
I've tended to stick with Firefox. Edge support of new stuff is problematic at best.

Re: All the Gear
A browser is pretty much, err, a browser
I tend to use Chrome but also use Firefox and IE/Edge
I've never understood browser wars - they do pretty much what it says on the tin. Okay, maybe not all equal - Safari is electronic crud

Re: All the Gear
As for Linux, I've recently built a HTPC running Ubuntu (mainly because I didn't have a spare Windows licence) and so far, so meh. It's okay and obviously has a different learning curve but it's nothing special IMO
I'm yet to be convinced

Re: All the Gear
While Samsung have been building exploding phones and Apple have been churning out their latest ifashion accessories, Xiaomi have been developing this beauty:
Xiaomi are coming up like a freight train. I've just ordered a new Xiaomi Note 3 Pro for my wife because she's smashed the screen on her existing phone (same model)
- just over AUD200 on Gearbest
It's an incredible phone for the money. You get 90% of the functionality of a G7 or IP7 at 20% (or less) of the price. Unless someone else is paying for it, why bother IMO. Despite what it states in the above video, it also comes with an international version of their Android with Google Play already installed

Re: All the Gear
VR - I'm a bit ambivalent about it. It has its place but is not the 2nd coming as some would have us believe
This brought a tear to my eye though:
VR transports WW2 veteran to French town he helped liberate | Alphr
