How Are You Going To?

• To play games, watch TV, listen to music, take a
  photo or video, or watch a video you need special
  glue.

In computers, regardless of their size, the glue
is the APIs. The graveyard of failed consumer
devices is filled with closed, API-less things
that EOLed due to lack of extensibility.
