Einstein was 40 and working in a patent office when he concocted special relativity. As a kid, he was not very brilliant. How do you fit HIM in the american school system. You should get rid of that ridiculous thing about IQ tests and stuff. When your country produces an Einstein, a Newton or a Gauss we'll see.
P.S. I follow string theory publications. I haven't seen any kindergarten kid publishing yet. Don't bullshit people.
Metro and winRT are artifacts for tablets and possibly smartphones, including the "bias" to c++. Development for corporate and business in general will be in.NET,WPF, Silverlight and the like for some years to come. You can program for Win8 tablets with.NET if you want, but they want the apps performing for the ARM processors, and they concocted a "runtime" closer to the iron. Microsoft knows the next battle will be on tablets and similar devices, and it will be a fight to the death,
so they have made almost a company bid on win8 and metro. But that does not apply to the desktop necessarily. And the desktop will stay for a long time.
Android and iOS have not seen real competition because they target different people. Let's see what happens with win8, that will target everybody and possibly every platform. Don't underestimate them.
and connect to remote computers
and stream my movies to if i need to (sometimes i do)
and listen/organize/expand in sync/ to my music anywhere
and do digital drawings (reasonably good on the go)
and compose software mockups on the go
and display presentations on the go
and do the interwebs (social, browsing)
and bring with me my email/calendar/private and pro.
and bring reference files/apps anywhere even offline
and do it all on a reasonable form factor without getting fuc*ing blind looking at a diminutive screen.
How's that for functionality?
It works for me.
From the same survey you quote about the 20% market share:
"De-featured, low-cost media tablets are being introduced by more than fifty vendors in 2011. This will certainly help bolster year-over-year growth for the category, but it also creates a negative perception in the minds of the mass consumer audience about the readiness of media tablets to be fully functional within the next several years. Good user experiences and product response are needed to propel this market beyond the âearly adopterâ(TM) stage."
That's what I call a spectacular failure: a bunch off half-assed, fragmented chinapads. Even the best hardware is crippled with bad design. I have had several android smartphones and a galaxy tab. Man, what a waste. Once I checked an Ipad I didn't look back anymore. Even the webOS touchpad is a better user experience (I have one too). Just don't want to touch any android again nor with a 10 feet pole. And understand me well, the culprit is not always the hardware. Those tablets just suck.
"I think this is a telling inflection point in the history of nations"
So full of yourself, as usual. In the "history of nations" you're just a little spot. And only at the top for 50 years.
And even then not a true Empire. Europeans and Asians do it better my friend. (in fact you're an European spin-off after all)
Hey guys,
he he hehe he..
I'm sorry to bother my I'm with Sony Tech Crew..
I need some help here.. he hehe he
someone know something about apaches?...
he hehe hehe..

Most people don't need and don't really want a tablet. It's as simple as that.
That is completely true. Most people don't want a tablet. Most people want an Ipad.
Metro and winRT are artifacts for tablets and possibly smartphones, including the "bias" to c++.

Port it all to a decent environment, like .NET
Have you ever been to China? That's not a prejudice. It's the truth. Remember Foxconn.
No Apps? Cluster*uck malware ridden market? Crap user experience? Worst operating system for a tablet? Pick your choice.

All of that must be in a vacuum (or very thin atmosphere) to work as intended.

Let me remind you that Android tablets have been a SPECTACULAR failure in the market.
It's obvious it's not about your fast times at shithole high bunch

Don't sweat it. Both your parties are a political joke.
LHC is mostly an European effort. And so is the foundation of modern physics. But I understand your disappointment.
Thor is going to put Mjolnir up those lawyer's as*
I 'd rather have a General Products n5 shell. It's been extensively tested.
Or you could apply for UEU citizenship and feel the power
Don't you dare to compare that contraption of immigrant's country with the Roman Empire!!
Sorry. Is the other way around.
Why go for the primitive? Use monodroid and monotouch and you will have .NET to boot.
