Atom is now competitive on phones, better than ARM on tablets and Haswell destroys ARM on larger tablets and everything above.
The Windows NT kernel runs smoothly on hardware that would choke on Android.
Don't forget that 90s processors were slower than current mobile processors. Good luck using a Pentium (Pro/II/III) for anything useful these days, regardless of the OS.
I'll have you know that the Journal of Homeopathic Chiropractic Aroma Therapy and Crystal Meditation practices peer review to the highest scientific standards.
To increase potency of the review, 15 scientists are tasked with reviewing each article. One of their reviews is then sent to 10 000 experts, who review the review. This step is repeated a few times. Finally, the resulting review is sent to our chinese editor (who at times is too busy editing other prestigious publications like the American Chinese Traditional Medicine and Voodoo annals and thus delegates this job to his team of highly-trained monkeys) who decides whether to publish or not.
Of course, this review cannot be questioned, otherwise it will never accurately review anything, as the trust between Journal and reviewers is broken.
I don't know, if they're out of work because their faith in their theories was strong enough to make them falsify data, they might be good candidates for priests.
Intentional vagueness or not, what they're doing here is spreading FUD. The passages they quote aren't even particularly vague, they just seem to not grasp the concept of margins of error.
General opinion is that free trade is good. If they want to dispute that, they'd better have some hard data to back it up, instead of sensationalist bullshit about possible conspiracies.
Random groupings of people say bad things about major international deal without any supporting evidence.
Seriously, the best they can do is "The language used is vague"? How about doing their own analysis instead of just pointing out that the documents aren't perfect?
That detecting the tilt of a Wacom pen has nothing to do with accelerometers. It would be far too inaccurate, most likely (see Wiimote) without a gyroscope and frequent calibration (again, see Wiimote).
In typical smartass fashion, you manage to misspell "Microsoft" (and not even something that's supposed to be funny, like M$), incorrectly employ a semicolon, attribute an Apple characteristic to Microsoft (claiming to have invented something old) and forogt a comma.
For 2 000 bucks, you'd better get more than *that*.
For 1 300 bucks (same as mentioned Surface Pro 2), you get about that, but without the SSD, with Wi-Fi so bad you'll cringe when you figure out it's a signle-stream Broadcom and insane weight.
a) CAD will be fine unless you're doing insanely complicated stuff b) Rendering on the go is generally a bad idea. The idea is to edit on the go. c) WTF? Why the hell would you want your tablet mining cryptocoins? Do you expect your refrigerator to cool your house? d) GPU-accelerated apps that aren't happy with this kind of performance are few, mostly those from points a) and b)
Besides being open for debate (the real engineering work had to be done by Tesla), it's a profoundly bad argument. Tesla's real success is the Model S, not the Roadster.
The Roadster is essentially irrelevant as anything other than a prototype for Tesla's propulsion system. Generally stating that Lotus is significantly responsible for Tesla's success (as was claimed, despite the fact that the hard part was not done by Lotus) is absurd.
Additionally, the Model S has literally sold more than 10 times as much as the Roadster, and it is the car that is viewed as truly significant.
Discussing the Roadster as if it were truly significant as anything more than a prototype is about the same as discussing the Ford Galaxy as proof that Ford typically rebadges other manufacturers' vehicles as their own.

Are you kidding?

The binaries are a small part of the whole package. Besides, you don't have to download all the binaries.
Blind hate for an instruction set. Brilliant. /s

How about you learn how electromagnetic waves propagate before spreading bullshit?
How will a polarizer magically prevent pilots from being blinded by a high-power laser?

You're fooling yourself! We're living in a dictatorship, a self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes...
Holy shit. How the fuck did that happen?
Password guessing and hacking into their systems are two very different things.
The sensors themselves are only part of the issue. You then need a basic SoC, power for it and a Bluetooth radio.
Then you have to synchronize the tilt information with the digitizer input. It's a nightmare scenario.
Earth-based? As opposed to what, Internet from Mars?
The i7 processor in the 2k version costs 700 bucks. You underestimate the cost of good hardware and engineering.
The Cintiq alone weighs 50% more than the Surface Pro 3 and has no battery or meaningful internals beyond the screen and digitizer.
Fitting an accelerometer, a gyroscope and a magnetometer in a pen isn't a trivial task.
Most importantly, Wacom doesn't want a Surface Pro that supports all their high-end features - their profit margins would go down the drain.
That detecting the tilt of a Wacom pen has nothing to do with accelerometers. It would be far too inaccurate, most likely (see Wiimote) without a gyroscope and frequent calibration (again, see Wiimote).
1) You talk about tilt support from accelerometers, which has nothing at all to do with what you're replying to.
2) "Well, to be honest... yes?" No device has ever had it at these prices, so there's nothing to expect.

For a better GPU? That's what my desktop is for.
Your reading comprehension needs serious work before you try to be a smartass.
For 400 bucks, you can't even buy the processor, screen, battery, SSD and RAM.
Seriously, you have to be realistic.
If it cost 1/3 the asking price, it'd be a generic Android tablet.
You can't ask for the best specs in its class (tablets), some of the best in its other class (Ultrabooks) AND a low price.
There's a reason your average 400 buck crap laptop from the likes of HP or Dell has a crappy 1366x768 screen and mechanical hard drive.
GMA was unbelievably slow. The Haswell GPU is just slow-ish. By the standards of their respective times.
