@9to5Google @technacity Finally a step in the right direction. Interoperability makes everyone's products better

@9to5Google @NexusBen It's great they're using the latest manufacturing processes, but we should be talking about the transistor density as a better indicator of performance.

@t3dotgg I started rebasing to enforce git etiquette with contributors that don't know how to use git well enough to make merging possible.
