"Microsoft Tablet PC is a term coined by Microsoft for tablet computers conforming to a set of specifications announced in 2001 by Microsoft, for a pen-enabled personal computer, conforming to hardware specifications devised by Microsoft and running a licensed copy of Windows XP Tablet PC Edition operating system or a derivative thereof.[1] Hundreds of such tablet personal computers have come onto the market since then.[2]"
Most of my Chinese friends are on hotmail and use MSN messenger. I don't know why its so popular there. They also have a very strange chat program called QQ, that seems to me to be full of spyware, and has been very difficult for me to uninstall from a couple of laptops.
However, when I read TFA, Snyder is trying to argue that Netbooks and Ultra Books are MS's and Intel's response to iPads and Android tablets. His premise is clearly absurd, as netbooks were selling by the millions before the first iPad was ever manufactured, and Ultra Books are a response to Macbook Air - not to tablets.
MS might end up screwing up big-time with Surface, but it won't have anything to do with Snyder's curious re-working of the history of the netbook.
The jury's verdict has been recorded. The motion for judgment as a matter of law is an attempt to have the original trial judge overturn the verdict as unsustainable. Basically the motion says that no reasonable jury could possibly come to this conclusion based on the evidence presented. These motions are hardly ever granted, and Samsung is probably looking past this decision and attempting to lay the groundwork for a successful appeal based on jury misconduct. Samsung is much more likely to prevail at the appellate level.
That's alright, but they should be finding a way to run it on Android instead of having to install Ubuntu. I could run any program remotely on my Android phone using Splashtop.
I don't really care where everyone else is spending their dough. If I cared, I would have an iPhone, a MacBook Air, an iPad, and I'd be thinking about an iPad Mini for Christmas - but I don't want that stuff. I want a new, 9 pound, i7 3rd-generation laptop with 17 inch monitor, a GeForce GTX 680MX, and 5-6 USB ports and room for twin 1TB SATA drives. That's what I want - even if no one makes one yet, or I have to pay $2600 bucks. And I'm probably not going to get it.
As a criminal offense, Florida's law is typical. Price gouging may be charged when a supplier of essential goods or services sharply raises the prices asked in anticipation of or during a civil emergency, or when it cancels or dishonors contracts in order to take advantage of an increase in prices related to such an emergency. The model case is a retailer who increases the price of existing stocks of milk and bread when a hurricane is imminent. It is a defense to show that the price increase mostly reflects increased costs, such as running an emergency generator, or hazard pay for workers.
Absolutely - and I've run a couple minus the shoebox and zip-ties - just sat a motherboard and power supply on an old card table and plugged it in. Ran a box fan over it all.
Yeah, but the spider wasn't actually eating the chassis.
Meh - spiders won't eat bio-recyclable-cardboard crap either. Their more into flies. Pour a bunch of honey on the bottom of the box and ants will eat their way in.

about the radio chips implanted in their heads by the government were right.
...the interwebs surf you.
Slashdot has never been blocked in China. It just isn't popular enough here to matter.
Yeah, its that way in Texas too. Rick Perry doesn't even bother to block Slashdot.
Their communist interwebs. Can't you read?
and ended up meeting at Disney Land Hong Kong.
Unless they can't read Mandarin.
Except for those by loyal party members.
Their communists. This is business as usual. We don't necessarily need a report every time they censor someone.

You win a prize. One week of free access to Google. And Slashdot. Don't bother to thank me.
They were laptops with some touch-screen capability. Completely different beast.
specifically said that the iPad was introduced to fill a void between the smart phone and the laptop, and that the iPad was created because "the problem is, netbooks aren't better than anything": http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=OBhYxj2SvRI#!

not the other way around.

Not that Florida would save him - but "un-conceding" is apparently a legal option that Kerry explored in December, 2004, due to voting-machine-fraud allegations from Ohio.
Texas would beg to differ, I'm sure.

was anybody talking to you, faggot? if you value your health, you better shut the fuck up too.
A nerd on meth. How freaking amusing.
