  1. With all those German printing presses they don't own and can't make?

  2. Re:Advantage Surface on Is Microsoft's Price Model For the Surface Justifiable? · · Score: 1

    I hope they add Norton exclusive trial as one of the apps, and one of those awesome camera utilities that pops up all the time, oh and a custom network manager that is less usable than the default one. That would be so awesome.

    I would continue to buy just as many of their products if they did because blah blah home enterprise synergy blah blah market leading blah blah new product certain to be breathtaking.

    Vegans rarely complain about swallowing guilt free protein, it's one of the perks.

    Dammit Hairyfeet, if I'd realised it was you I wouldn't even have replied to you. Maybe Windows 8 they'll be cueing outside your shop for at midnight.

  9. Re:Hey, works for Apple on Microsoft Reportedly Launching Its Own Windows Phone Smartphone · · Score: 1

    I think the X-Box succeeded in spite of Microsoft's hardware, not because of it... RROD, disc scratching, overheating, noise, etc, etc...

  10. Re: A car analogy... on Earthquakes Correlated With Texan Fracking Sites · · Score: 1

    How much solid earth will be left once you've fracked every ounce of gas out of it? I'f like to see where you get the idea that it will provide a thousand years worth of gas, remember to include growth in your calculation.

    Did you even read the comment before you trundled out this tired cliche, probably not.

  16. Re:Microsoft Mythconception on Apple iPad Mini Could Complicate Things For Windows 8 Tablets · · Score: 1

    why is it not bad that iPads get used the same way?

    Maybe because the users don't hate them as much?

    No-one loves being able to run MS Office anywhere, everyone gags when it launches. Don't mistake necessity for admiration.

    Maybe the market for apps has changed slightly since the iPhone came out? I can't think of any possible cause this for this but when I do I'll definitely report it back to you.

    What a lot of crap, you really have a bee in your bonnet about fanboys. You know what made them fanboys? Good products. People weren't gagging to buy the Newton. If Microsoft had released a device as well made a the ipod or the iphone or the ipad it still would have sold millions, because they all redefined usability. No, I'm not a fan boy, I use Linux exclusively at home, I have an iPod someone gave me for free and an Android phone, just to pre-empt another fanboy diatribe...

  21. Re:You are part of the problem. Yes, you. on The Day Leo Traynor Confronted His Troll · · Score: 1

    You don't have much of an imagination, do you? Only an idiot locks up children if there is any other option. Never underestimate the stupidity of young boys left to their own devices, I hope you do find yourself in a position to reflect on your opinions expressed previously with children of your own at some point.

    Maybe you could have thought more carefully about where you lived in the first place instead of entering someone else's home without permission then goading him into attacking you while lying about doing it... I'm afraid to say you don't sound like any kind of hero to me.
