    I had an Android phone. I hated the user experience. So, I got an iPhone. I now love my phone. I'm an American, but that doesn't really play into it. I consider Google an American …

    I wouldn't rule that out. Why wouldn't it make a great undersea battery? Also, if we found Apollo 13 we could recover some Pu238: http://science.slashdot.org/story/11/11/28/1637231…
