Why not pick up a real tablet system, like a Dell Latitude XT off of eBay for $600-$700? Core 2 Duo, 3GB of RAM, 80GB HD, 12" LED LCD multi-touch screen, etc. I snarfed one "new open box" for $650 USD a couple of weeks back -- looked brand new/ever used.
IT grunts know not to deploy a Microsoft by-product until at least Service Pack 2 comes out -- somehow I don't see Windows 7 SP2 being out by the end of next year. Not to mention the real world concerns of budgets, hardware upgrade cycles, training, etc. In other words, no real surprise here.
They need to keep 'publishing' something to justify revenue from their advertisers. Us schmucks in the IT trenches know better than to take the stuff they write without a bag of road salt. A storage array of that size is going to need at least two redundant power supplies and a real RAID card with battery backup and proven track record -- unless you want a solid guaranty to loose that amount of data at some point in the near future.
The real issue, from a real business point of view, is that you would have to be totally fsckin' stupid to store your confidential company communication and data on Google's servers -- and in a foreign country if you are not in the US.
Depends on your definition of "attractive". Latest pop culture trend is to find large asses "attractive". Personally, I do not find large 'booty' or 'thick' females "attractive" and thus would not "hit it".
(the iPhone DevTeam) were waiting until the 3.1 release
First they where waiting for 3.0 to RTM and a rumored new iPhone. When 3.0 went RTM and the 3GS shipped, then they where waiting for 3.1 to come out. How many quatloos do you want to wager that once 3.1 came out, they'd be waiting for 3.2 to come out, then 3.3, 3.4,..., before releasing? Either poop or get off the pot.
I thought so too. Then I discovered, the day I bought an iPhone, that you have to plug an iPhone into a system running iTunes just once to get things going in order to use the iPhone App Store application to download apps. Apple strikes again.
Cloud computing technologies are NOT about (or only about) big box companies hosting your applications. They are about the ability to host them where ever you want when you want, from big companies to local server farms to *gasp* the user's desktops. The next generation of application after cloud computing will have to do with being able to leverage computing resources anywhere and anytime with automated failover and resource sharing.

Will this crazy running for "the new" ever end?
Not as long as the quest for grubbing for more and even more money continues.

This must be the most insightful comment I've read in a long time...
And I am very happy to say that I never bought a single one of them or listened to his 'music' by choice.
Funny, that -- it ain't tagged "Flamebait" when it comes to computer technology patents...
applied for roughly 20 patents on ways to improve the method
Patents for drilling a hole in the ground? :facepalm:
