From a article about potential Apple CEO...
“ERIC SCHMIDT. Zero chance. Schmidt is viewed throughout Apple as a traitor, who perhaps used his knowledge of the iPhone, gleaned while then a member of Apple’s board himself, to give Google’s Android effort a leg up. There is a better chance of Apple choosing its next CEO through a raffle of ten golden tickets hidden inside iPad boxes distributed around the globe than that they’d give...

System builds: config management vs. imaging →
ntang:
Long story short: both, depending on the situation.

Bluetooth Headphones
Finally broke down and bought a pair of bluetooth headphones.
