Wait, but I thought you were talking about USB 3 and NVMe and phantom crashes which don't exist, now we're talking about battery life and Windows RT? Well, it's pretty clear you have your finger on the button of Windows driver architecture and devices which don't have a PCI bus... hmmm let me look around my infrastructure base and see how many of those I have....hmmmm... nope, not a single one. Cheers!
God, i KNOW, right????? - all of that constant Apple hate from the Microsoft fanbois "whaaaa, I don't want to use wireless proprietary headphones" "whaaaaa, why can't I just use the standard interface for headphones which has worked successfully for 60 years". I'm glad you were here to stick up for Apple.
What is wrong with having an improved set of choices?
So, let me see if I understand you: taking away the headphone jack and forcing me to use a proprietary adapter is an "improved set of choices". My god, why are you here on/. espousing the glory of Apple when it is clear you have such a bright future working with Microsoft marketing?
LOL. Oh, you mean you had to install a manufacturer driver for a device in Windows 7??? Heavens!!!! NVMe in Windows 7 is absolutely not a wrapper for USB 2.0. How in the world can you even possibly think or believe such a ludicrous thing? Besides that I literally have an office full of various models of brand new Optiplex, Precision, and Latitude. All Windows 7. All NVMe. All clean installs performed by me Do I need to show you my benchmarks of my Samsung NVMe disks and their "USB 2 wrapper". But please, tell me that I'm wrong as i'm typing on a windows 7 laptop with an NVMe disk with frankly smoking performance.
Here's the Microsoft KB article linking to native NVMe support update for 7 and 2008 R2. I personally just loaded the samsung driver myself during install. There are absolutely no issues with NVMe in Windows 7, and I wish people would stop spreading this FUD.
There are absolutely no issues with support for USB 3.1 or NVMe currently in windows 7. The only hassle which exists is the need for a Windows 7 installer with the USB support to allow you to load the NVMe drivers (if you do not slipstream them yourself). Intel has a tool freely available on their website which will update your install media for you.

Honestly, this is a really great step forward in user friendliness, but I really think they can go deeper. What I bet that users in middle america would really respond to is some sort of animated anthropomorphic cartoon folder - let's name him "tabby" - that can pop up every few minutes to offer helpful services from the Azure/Office 365 ecosystem.
You know what? You're absolutely right and I do stand corrected - I recall this about the 3 TB - probably from Backblaze's data - and I want to say that I think they were first hitting the market after the Thailand disaster? It seems like the 4 TB models are pretty resilient. Anecdotally, I have 8 handling my home library and backups, and have had no failures since I started buying them in March 2013..
Clearly, something is up with the Seagate DX series, but they have thousands of the DM models with a 2.66% failure rate. That's pretty remarkable. I've personally been very pleased with this series from seagate.
What this actually means is that slightly under 3/5 of the senate is totally fine with this invasion of privacy clearly guaranteed by the fourth amendment, to say nothing of these "national security letters" which are a perversion of our justice system.
FBI's top attorney is worried some of the platform's more than 1 billion global users will take advantage of the move to hide their crime- or terrorism-related communications.
Because, you know, in the list of things HP users wish the company would do differently: stop with the bloatware garbage, etc. "Thinnest laptop" is really right there at the top. You know, here on the bleeding edge of 2010. Yawn.
I'll go ahead and field this one: Steam is a games-distribution platform owned by Valve, a privately-held company that has continually demonstrated a commitment to providing an excellent product and service that exceeds any of their peers, while at he same time showing remarkable transparency of operations and who have a history of responding to their users.
Facebook is a data collection and advertising firm masquerading as a social media company. The purpose of their existence is to harvest yor data, sell it to whomever, and advertise to you in the process.
Does this help explain the "hypocrisy" you see from us up on your high horse?
I am not sure how you get modded "Insightful" for equating the surveillance apparatus of the NSA and the very fact that Apple has these legitimate worries (while at the same time engaged in a show trial over FBI access to the IOS source code) to "industrial espionage". But you're right: OP was wrong to observe that this is a sad state of affairs in this nation, and I'm glad you were here to belittle his/her concerns. Thanks, citizen.
Are you *really* comparing the petty threats of Anonymous to deface a webpage, requiring a difficult and time-consuming restore from backup, to the methods used by the Nazi party in the 1920s and 1930s?
"There are no good guys in this story"? WT actual F logic is this? Excuse me, sir, but I don't want some baby-boomer rageoholic, upset that the world doesn't work the way *he* wants it to in the train car he shares with others, buying crappy Chinese electronics and interfering with my ability to use my technology. It is impossible to not know that these devices are illegal and prohibited by the FCC, and he's been arrested for it before. The first time, he got a slap on the wrist. Now, he gets the felony. This is how this shit works. "No good guys in the story". SMH.
Oh, well bless your heart! Let me go ahead and guarantee you that the federal government will not be prosecuting Apple, Inc. for treason any time in the near future. LOL.
Microsoft receives no love from me for the privacy invasion that is windows 10. But are you seriously nitpicking your surface because you wanted a pizza application from the app store and there wasn't one? I guarantee you that it took you more time to search the appstore than to simply open papajohns.com and log in with your account from any of the multiple browsers that work on the device?
Oh, and multiple blue screens in two days? Let me go ahead and call Bull. Shit. Either you have bad hardware out of the box, or you installed something you shouldn't have. This is not 2001 and windows XP. BSODs are bad hardware, or bad driver.
Ah, such totally rich political theater, no doubt pandering to his base. I believe we all agree that beginning with Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Co, and culminating with Citizens United, even if this weren't the preposterous legislative proposal of a buffoon used car salesman, the idea of a corporation being held criminally responsible for anything in the USA is utterly hilarious.

Totally not trying to be pedantic, but the Seagate model they reference should actually be the "ST8000DM002"

Dude, what is the deal with this around here??? It's DRIVEL. It is not, and has never been DRIBBLE.

Let's just remember that this is the state where in 2015, Department of Environmental Protection employees were banned from usage of the term "climate change" or "global warming". .

You should watch fewer movies, and read the article more often.
I'm not really sure what you're talking about. Hard Disks have been and continue to be multi-platter. The latest 10 TB Seagate HE drive has 7 platters and 14 heads, and this is only their playing "catch up" with Hitachi/WD. http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2016/01/seagate-unveils-its-own-10tb-helium-filled-hard-drive/
