    Too bad Atom x5/x7 is already out and destroys the Bay Trail stuff. The x7 in the Surface 3 is POWERFUL for an 'Atom' chip.

    Some sites refuse to let you view their site on mobile web browser even in desktop mode. Its 'install app or fuck you'.

    'Internet, not just web' includes more than WEB browsers....

    You could fashion a wireless setup pretty easily. Plug Ethernet to wireless dongle into pump, done.

    I dont think that was live when MCE was first made. Its an OLD program that gets no love at all and will be killed in Win 10.

    Its hard to believe that Microsoft might be the ones to turn to in the end. IM so sick of the 'mobile' web on iOS and Android. I LOVE my Windows 8 tablets because i get the INTERNET on it, not just the mobile web.

    "But I do see them competing with Rolex, Omega, Tag Heuer, Breitling, etc. in the very high end watch market"

    No. This is what Apple Marketing thinks too, and they are very wrong.

    We'll see. Nadella is DEFINITELY turning the ship to embrace other platforms, Skype might just be late.

    TO be fair, Windows MCE requires an internet connection to fetch listings too

    NO NO NO. For god's sake its like no one values privacy at all. ANONYMITY IS OK. WE have to learn to deal with the fact that we should not be able to trace EVERYTHING.

    "but also give you greater credibility."

    This is an artifact from the past when comms werent instant. No need to be completely precise when clarification is a few keystrokes away. If you correctly parse the message and still complain about how it was delivered, it says more about you than the sender.

    Closed culture often tries to destroy open culture. SCO/Microsoft vs Linux is a good example.

    Pixlr cant even handle JPEGs from my Sony a6000. Takes forever to get the image to load into the 'app'. I was just trying it out last night on the Surface 3.

    By random inspections, you mean searches without probable cause. Thats illegal.

    You can actually, its the UPLOAD that gets you. Sony v Universal (and subsequent rulings) is quite clear, Backups are backups, it doesnt matter where they came from as long as you dont share them. If you direct download them you are in the clear 100%, if you use a sharing service like a torrent, the water gets a lot muddier.

    Thank you for saying what i could not articulate.

    What is your UPLOAD speed and DATA CAP? Download speed is not the only metric of internet service. I get 100 down but only 10 up for almost $80/month. I dont consider it a good value because the upload is so low.

    Doesnt the public have the right to demand the business owner hire only countrymen? That door swings both ways.
