There's an adage that says "Every plan, no matter how great, goes out the window as soon as you're punched in the face."

When we finally left that day, the rest of us exhausted and irritated, he shared his first composition with a big smile.
With the release of the Pixel 2 XL and the iPhone X, smartphones have hit a new high not just in price, but also raw processing power.
