the price is not similar. Surface pro 3 is double the price of the ipad. And while ipad was designed to be used without a keyboard, it's clear from MS that they expect you to buy their fabric keyboard.
i agree about ultraportable computer. This is why if you look at their advertising they compare the surface against a MacBook air, not an ipad. Also it's double the price of an entry level ipad.
that's actually a cool idea. I would call it the "Russian nesting doll elevator". but wouldn't this require that the inner cradle have a cable for the full length of the building?
haven't scientists shown that when you shine a laser at something it imparts a bit of momentum to the object? maybe the elevator has a big shield on the bottom and there's a big laser at the bottom of the shaft? that seems like a pretty good way to do it...
why do we keep trying to do induction as a power source, instead of using it as the prime driver? that way the elevator is just a big electromagnet, and doesn't need to house the motors.
relatedly, when are we going to break away from this notion of elevator "shafts"? I say give elevators the power to move up/down, sideways, and rotate. Imagine if an elevator was a big crawling robot that scaled the outside of the building, and every floor had exterior elevator doors. then everybody would get into a crawling robot and the robot would go to the right floor! That would be pretty sweet. I would call it "spidervators"
i would do away with the motor at the top of the shaft, and instead electrify each individual elevator so it has motive power. seems like the best solution to me.
lolwut? apple had clout when it had not released a single phone and nobody understood its potential or how popular it would be? ummno. I think google had clout when ATT had the iphone exclusive and the other carriers were aching to get a good smartphone they could compete with. and google had a precedent of how apple set up their agreement with ATT.
then why would google let someone into the OHA if they're not willing to patch critical vulnerabilities in their phones? If I were in charge and I cared about the customers I would throw somebody out of the OHA for that nonsense.
ok, so why didn't google do things the way apple did them? the precedent was already set. I'll tell you why - they wanted market share, not a good (and safe) user experience. For google, users are the product.
Google created the rules of the AOSP and the OHA. they could have set a rule about phone upgrades, but decided they would get faster market share growth if they let that one slide. now they are paying the price. actually, the users are paying the price, google still has its market share so they feel good about it.
the problem is when a phone OS manufacturer constantly cuts corners to deploy fast and ends up in a pickle like this. google is the one who made up the "carriers won't upgrade" system.
Apple and Microsoft control their own update process on all platforms; Google does not. It's the individual carriers who are getting in the way of Android updates.
Google set it up this way. According to the Google Play dashboard, 61% of people are v4.3 or lower. you know that 90% of them will never update. And the google play store only collects phones that visit the service, imagine the tens of millions "grandma's phone" people who use an android because that is the default cheap phone without making use of the play store. Sounds like a basket of fail to me.
Maybe/. Is catering to people outside of it? Is that the end of the world. True, I have seldom used Unix or a 3 button mouse. But I have excellent karma, indicating my contributions here are appreciated.

in other words, don't hate the player, hate the game.
guys guys, calm down. we're arguing technicalities. no matter how you slice it, apple made a lot of money and is being very successful.
you wouldn't need a counter weight cuz of the motors in the elevator itself. got questions? yo I'll solve it.

the iphone 1 was discontinued in 2008, while even today there are phones on store shelves running android 4.3.

Going to cause a lot of collateral damage to start doxxing people who may or may not be pedobears. It may also be used for vindictive purposes.
That's the style these days.
Then as it is now, technological progress was a full-contact sport.
I rarely see people do this. Are you the type of guy who would blow somebody away for texting the babysitter during the trailers
Maybe he highlighted the first two paragraphs then clicked the middle button (:
:-(. Somebody had to say was "it's a UNIX thing." No need for Snark or for stocking across threads.
