That is the only time I ever come across Google or Reliance (this awful local giant whose ceo Ambani could give any of your creeps over there a run for their money re awfulness - they treat their employees pretty badly I have heard) anymore.

He has an Android and it is a nightmare to use imo.

I could not pull off a switch to a Mac though. Too used to the damn pc.
