It can be challenging to convince an Apple fan to consider an Android tablet, as their loyalty to Apple products is often unwavering. However, there are rational consumers who are willing to look beyond the iPad. For these objective buyers, here are a few reasons why an Android tablet can be a better choice than an Apple device.

  1. Variety of Options: While iPad buyers are limited to the hardware and operating system provided by Apple, those who prefer Android tablets can choose from a wide range of manufacturers offering different sizes and models. Android tablets come in various sizes, ranging from 5 inches to 10+ inches, allowing consumers to find a device that suits their preferences.
  2. Open Source: Apple’s iOS is not open source, meaning developers have to work within the limitations and changes Apple decides to incorporate. On the other hand, the Android OS is an open-source project based on Linux. This allows an army of developers to continuously add features and improve the system. Additionally, any manufacturer can choose to use Android, which reduces the overall cost for consumers.
  3. Processing Power: Apple has maintained tight control over the processing power of its devices. While they

Review of Boss NS2 Noise Suppressor Pedal

As a bass player, I initially wasn’t a big fan of sound suppression, but playing at high volumes in less-than-ideal venues can change your perspective. I use an Ibanez full-range active bass with a Peavey 1000 Watts Kilobass head and a Hartke HyDrive speaker cabinet.

When I first saw the Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor pedal, it struck me as well-made and sturdy, like many other Boss pedals. With just three knobs, it was easy and quick to dial in. “Don’t fix what ain’t broken” could almost be said about all Boss pedals. They have consistently remained the best and most reliable pedals available.
