It feels a bit disrepectful to reference the title of Tim O'Brien's book for a review of this year's latest tech gadgets.


Glad to know I'm not the only one who opened this thinking there'd be some interesting discussion about the book or author. Threw me for a loop.


Not sure what he's on about the fat iPod Nano being a mistake. I recall it being almost universally loved by my generation, almost every kid in school had one because you could watch video on them. They were also indestructable, famously being able to survive going through the washing machine.
