    $399 for the iPad 2.

    Nothing in the press release indicates it's going to be better than the ipad2, other than the min 32GB ram.

    Why? Is Asus going to stop making and selling x86 desktops, motherboards and laptops?

    No.

    So why would Microsoft worry about anything?

    Are they actually net positive now, years after all the investment they poured into the xbox division?

    If at first you don't succeed, keep pouring money in, and one day you'd make profits...

    Kinda hard to track me if everytime I hit a site, I'm "unique"

  7. I think you don't get my point. A few hundred million Androids is more than "2% Linux systems" out there.

    Or browse in Privacy mode.

    Then what do they have to track you?

  9. if Apple has 350 million iOS and Google has as many Androids, just how many fucking Windows PCs are there in the world?

    700 million is a significant fraction of whatever number of PCs in the world...

    Actually, you're wrong. How many other phones does not have crapware on them? When Android fanbois talk about choice, they're talking about the choice of crappy carrier crapware they get pre-installed.

    As someone with 20/10 and 20/15 eyes (at 41 years old, mind you! Yay for superior genes!), these are not the "retina" displays I'm looking for.

    Then get the fullsized macbook pro if that really rocks your boat.

    if you don't like Macs, just say so, nobody's forcing you to like Macs. But to come out with silly justifications is just... silly.
