    So there's currently a case heading to the court of appeal state side ,
    Where a young gentleman wants to marry his porn filled Mac book,

    On the subject if you had one piece of tech that you couldn't live without what you you choose and would you choose to marry it ,

    Hypothetically speaking that is

    It'd have to be my phone I suppose. As I was saying to someone else the other day - I carry my office around in my pocket. I would've said my universal remote control, but what good is that without a tv?

    "Man and wi-fi", ohh very good :D

    Having read the story, the guy is doing this as some kind of protest against gay marriage. So its basically one guy being a troll.

    For me its it has to be my nexus 7 ,

    It spends more in my company than the missus does ( college chic)

    The table is used for the weekly shopping ,
    Clothes shopping,
    Books ,
    Keeping the kids occupied while doing the chores,
    Video calling ,

    But, it's involuntary for the macbook. It's being coerced and forced into this marriage!

    So what happens after you decide to sell your tech husband/wife ,

    Would it be considered some form of prostitution / slavery ,


    And imagine what the mother inlaw is like

    Link to the case please?

    If it's true, then it's a waste of court time and he should have the Macbook thrown at him.
