    It's not random. Don't confuse you being ignorant with the start menu being random.

    There is a logical way it works. If you made half the effort in learning why it does things that you do showing of your ignorance, you would have nothing to complain about...but maybe that's your point. Maybe you're just a whiny bitch.

    IT's an option. Not the only solution. Win 7 also highlights new folders, and if the application writers wants to, they can have there program launch-able from one of several reconfigured locations. Games, Devices, musics, etc..

    Some people prefer the graphical user dialog box, some don't.

    But if they have it, you complain, of the got rid of it you would complain.

    Americans are slow to pick up this kind of technology. It's been a problem for decades and it has nothing to do with patents.

    I would also like to point out that "things like this" is not this thing. So it's irrelevant to the NFC wallet in general.

    Do you think Europe and Japan don't have patents? or that they are irrelevant?

    not true. It does different stuff.
    And it doesn't cost more then an Apple Laptop; which is the only valid comparison. Well, any laptop you cna buy running iOS or OSX.
    And, of course, there are a lot MORE laptops that cost more money.

    1) I can't easily carry a loptop around and enter data as I walk.
    2) A laptop doesn't fit on a music stand
    3) a laptop is less intuitive to children
    4) a lop top is more difficult to keep clean in hospitals.
    5) A medical professional can walk from patient to patient and read and enter data
    6) magazine/comic books are FAR easier to read using the iPad over a laptop.

    Any where where a laptop is hard to use on the fly, the table is superior.

    I'm not saying it's replacing the laptop, just that there are areas where it is far more convenient and handy then a laptop.

    because the mass market doesn't really need much more then that.

    " I don't see the point"
