I dropped Facebook years ago and rarely wish I had it. It's annoying when there's a useful, niche group there, otherwise I don't care.

I ranked Apple second despite typing this on a MacBook and not a computer running Windows. I'm really jaded about Apple currently. Ten years ago they made some of the most usable electronics I'd owned. They borrowed and stole from others and made it nice to use. My Samsung phone with Android is as nice to use as any iPhone. I have an iPad. It's five years old and won't be replaced. I use it to watch movies at night when I'm in a bed and breakfast that doesn't have a TV in my room. And that's about it. Apple Watch? Don't care. iPod? Why when I have a phone?

The key to Apple's demise: iTunes is awful. Truly, truly awful.

What will your friends say when you lose access to Apple’s messaging service and your texts start coming in green?

This happened to me last night. "Your texts were green!" "Yep!" And that was the end of it. Nobody cares.

I put Microsoft after Apple because I use it for work. And it works. I'd have an easier time switching to Windows at home than I would anything else at work. When this computer dies I will likely replace it with one running Windows.

I opted to drop Amazon before Google because I figure I could search for stores selling what I want if Amazon didn't exist. I've gone off the deep end of buying from Amazon. It's just so easy. Cat food, granola bars, my business casual clothes.

I also remarked to someone who asked me if I still used the same email address (we hadn't spoken in a couple years). My answer was yes, I think it would be harder to change my email address than my phone number. I have Gmail.
