    There must be pony angels, or Fluttershy wouldn't have named her pet rabbit after one.

    You know, as stupid as it sounds, I never put that logic together. So many people call their pets 'Angel' now I just thought it was a common pet name. Completely forgot about everything else. And I studied this crap for years.

    By that logic ponies must have tanks because Rainbow Dash named her tortoise after one.

    Who's to say that they don't?
    We've already seen soldiers and mercenaries as a canon part of the show, and we know that Equestria is advanced enough to have hydroelectric dams and computers.

    Only one ad remains, I theorize that the donate ad has eaten the weaker ads.

    This requires farther observation.

    Update-I have now found the other ads. They've all migrated to a singular home. Interesting, this as well requires farther observation.

    ^ Which raises some questions about the computer scene in Equestria Girls, but whatever.

    Equestrian computers probably work with magic.

    Or by using silicon semiconductors. I'm gonna hazard a guess that the use of electricity is neither witchcraft nor illegal in Equestria. Who's to say that mundane technology cannot exist?

    They probably work like real ones. But with magic infinite batteries.

    I'd hazard a guess that use plain magic batteries that need to periodically recharged with a dose of magic. (Energy in must equal energy out, so for infinite magical output, you need equally infinite magical input). Alternatively, they're just plugged into the mains.

    Magic in this universe has no explanation so its possible its infinite.

    But it would make more sense to have them plugged into mains with infinite magical battery crystals there.

    Playstation 4, the new pinacle of console gaming. Best quality console ever made, capable of amazing graphical feats. I'm just sitting here with my PS4, playing Angry Birds: Star Wars.

    While currently most powerful, I'd hazard to say it's not of the greatest quality. We'd have to see its survival rate after a couple of years to judge that.

    It isn't. Because Blue line of death.

    You could play that on a friggin' ipad and it'd look the same.
