Background: I've got an AMC Pacer - picked it up about a week ago at auction.

The weird way the stickshift works doesn't both me - it's not like I could compare it to anything.

The big killer for me though (and why I got it to replace my Pinto) is the humungous doors. Yeah, most people don't like doors that tilt the car when they open, but I think it's cool.

Fitting stuff in the back is nice too. It's ugly as hell, but I can get my stuff in it.

Haswell?

[Pinhedd]

Hopefully it'll include a more power efficient Haswell chip. The Surface Pro was promising but lacked sufficient battery life.

I'm not sure why you think nVidia would be involved with making a Haswell Surface. Are you lost?

The summary's pretty accurate (for once).

The scary thing about reading the article is the comments section. It's like YouTube users talking about computers. Makes Slashdot look like a fucking academic symposium.

No, Slashdot will never look like an academic symposium about fucking.

Outlook?

Magic 8-ball says "Outlook not so good".

Just sayin'...

Metro apps are how Microsoft is going to let go of their Win32 legacy. They really, really need for their mobile efforts to take off so they can let go of app compat and the 30 years of spaghetti code they made to prevent competitors in that open market. Even they no longer understand how that shit works. The canonical reference for their SMB protocol is now the open source SAMBA project, which is compatible with more versions of their own software than they are. They really need a new basis where they can control who can make apps through administrative rather than technological means.

W32 apps are going away. Get over it. Soon your ancient copies of pirated Photoshop and Quicken will not work. You can limit your search for replacements to their ecosystem if you want to, or look wider afield. Since Windows devices are only 1/5 of endpoints today, looking wider is not really a bad idea.

Market share

[kimvette]

Maybe the Surface 2.0 will sell twice as many tablets as the current product, doubling market share, to four customers.

Unfortunately both current Windows tablet customers will feel cheated with their now-obsolete tablets.

WTF

[Hognoxious]

The first version of our wine tasted like piss, but I'm sure it will improve if we mix a bit of shit into it.

My friend used to be a fan, a CPU fan to be precise. His wife was a GPU fan since her chips often got a bit overheated. Sadly, my friend couldn't monitor or control her so she got burnt out and died. Eventually, after a few weeks of liquid cooling he died too. It is tough to be fan.

Gah. You guys don't quit.

That's OK. It's fun to torment you. Do you remember this phrase?: "We are going mobile and Microsoft isn't coming with us."

Do you know why Microsoft isn't coming with us? It isn't because they don't know how to make good software (though they don't) It's because they are the obnoxious person we move the party to get away from, and then don't tell them where we went.
