I see, it is interesting being in the crowd that did comparisons and chose the iPhone... it's all good though, I'm glad you've got what works best for you and that is what I choose, what works best for me. No reason for name calling and etc =D
What ever happened to "Give me liberty, or give me death"
People too often just go with the flow, allowing themselves to be trampled by corporations and government. No one willing to take a stand for what is right and just.
Back in the day it wasn't even really worth trying... you could do it, but it was a pain... it didn't work with some drivers, if each screen had a high resolution you couldn't run it at it's native resolution with some cards.
All in all, I'm glad it is improving... it seems to me though that this should have been a priority long ago when both Windows and OS X handled dual monitors with ridiculous ease.
Microsoft didn't switch the Xbox UI over to the metro style UI till late last year / early this year. Prior to that it looked less like metro and more like shelves at a video store.
Honestly the video seems a lot more like the Apple full screen app movement in OS X... sliding back and forth between apps with multitouch gestures.
Locked down mobile apps? Uh... mobile apps are mostly horribly useful. Very few times have I thought "Man I wish I had the desktop version".
I feel like an Intel Core processor in a tablet is going to always be warm / hot / icky. Tons of Android tablets have HDMI and I'm sure that some of them will be USB3 if not already.
A desktop OS on a tablet to me seems like overkill... I've got a computer with me for that, when I have my tablet out its because I'm trying to do something tablet-y.
If that's what you're after more power to you, but don't ignore the literal TONS of other really good tablets and place all your bets on this, you might be disappointed.
*jokingtroll* I'm so sick of all these nerdy math / science posts... we need more patent litigation and mobile device war posts */jokingtroll*
Seriously though, I think that straying away from the mathematical fundamentals will lead to straying from linguistic fundamentals and historical fundamentals. Eventually the bulk of the education system will be 'Can you read well enough to use a computer? Congratulations you are a high school graduate".
The ability to follow through an entire equation and achieve the outcome is very useful in life. Perhaps not in the form you learn in Algebra, but in one form or another.
But lets just let our kids get less smart and more dependent on the technology that will eventually stop evolving because nobody is smart enough continue the evolution.
I agree, I feel like we should make a our goal creating a base on the moon from which to launch further expeditions to Mars, perhaps even construct the ships out there, so that we can make them larger, and more habitable.
It's all sci-fi sounding I agree, but It could be a step in the right direction... anything would be a step in the right direction.

I sincerely wish that people could get over their hangups and just try out something different. The world would be a lot better place.
Thanks for the props to Steve though, may he rest in peace.
You started off sounding smart, then it dwindled near the end...
Thanks for clearing that up for me =D
If you're that hungry - you don't need to be wasting time on facebook anyway.

I applaud the decision. (To make it illegal)
I am appalled by the problem.
This, over and over again this.
I would question their reasoning. I would demand to see THEIR facebook pages, then jet.
Some people are capable of looking at something and reading it quickly. Some people don't travel alone...
Some people figure out where they're going before they leave so they don't have to rely on something to give them directions the entire time.
Yes it does, now it won't announce it to you - but the Maps App on iOS 5 gave you turn by turn directions with multiple route choices.
Uh, what the heck is a 'shiny-shitty' ?
It has become loads better in recent years.

10 years too late?

Haters will hate, don't let them ruin your day...
Well that makes sense then.
Thanks for clearing this up for everyone... ...

Gives me the willies...
Of course it's not much different than paper currency I suppose, it's all make-believe anyway.
If any other company changes something - for better or worse - its ok to slam them, but when its Microsoft everyone just needs to back off...
This isn't FUD, this is FUN.
If you don't like the article don't read it =D

It'll get moved back to the February after... duh...
So being seen naked / groped-by-strangers is a valid requirement for flying and we should all just get over it?
You're a moron.
The NOOK tablet had a microSD slot, I believe the NOOK Color did as well.
Tons of other tablets have expandable storage (xoom for one), noticeably lacking are the iPad and the Kindle Fire.
I had to check the ol' calendar to ensure that I didn't sleep till April 1.
What kind of hooey is this?
Who would want to break and enter to install linux? Really?
Let me put it to you this way Mr Congressman: They did you a freaking favor, thank them and move on.
In the Romney/Ryan space plan post... although I suggested an actual base ON the moon, but something is better than nothing.
Fortress of Solitude anyone?
