I think what the author means is that a Windows enabled tablet could replace the laptop space. On your work desk, it's connected to an external mouse, keyboard and monitor - desktop mode When you go to a meeting, or go on the road, you take the tablet with you - mobile mode
The advance here is that you're running the same apps (yes, Word, Excel, legacy apps), same logon, same computer... whereever you go. In the corporate world, this could be huge.
My first programming language was Motorola MC68000 on the Amiga 500. I must admit, programming languages are easy once you know what the code compiles into.
However, object oriented programming was very, very alien to me. There are some programming topics that can't be taught by learning assembly alone.
This will be awesome for 3d games (first person shooters). One image per eye, producing a 3d scene.
I imagine generation 1 will look weird with all the images being in focus, even though the Z distance varies. With a little more work, generation 2 could detect what you are trying to focus on - like those eye test machines do - and produce a more realistic scene - blurry in the background, sharp foreground.
It would be cool to hit a key and have the scene zoom on what you're looking at.
At 1920 screen resolution, the word appears as the the last word on the first line, and the first word on the following line. I guess it was the kind of typo like when you write "the" twice, and noone notices.
Joe Public: What happen ? Coder: Somebody set up us the bomb. Operator: We get signal. Joe Public: What ! Operator: Main screen turn on. Joe Public: It's you !! Wall Street Fat Cat: How are you gentlemen !! Wall Street Fat Cat: All your base are belong to us.
another good idea is reduce the number of "run on startup" lists to one. theres a billion options for running your stuff on startup. should be just one place.
while im ranting, i hate that i've got two processes in task manager called rundll32.exe that i havent a clue what they do
estimate 1: nt4 (900 days), 2000 (1200 days) and xp (600 days), at around 1000 days of development. windows 7 started around oct 2006. that puts rtm at jun-09. (vista was about 2000 days, but lets overlook that)
estimate 2: xp and vista both had about 2-3 months from rc to rtm. that puts rtm at jul/aug.
I once dined at a restaurant that took my order, but minutes later realised they couldnt make it due to stock shortage. I got a different meal, and they told me mine was for free!
The way a company recovers from a problem can actually turn into a net positive experience for the customer.
In my case, I'm turned from an unsatisfied customer, to an advocate. For sure, I've recommended friends dine there since then.
Every interaction is an opportunity to delight the customer. Even those events that at first feel like a disaster unrolling.
I cannot use Windows out of the box. I must also install TextPad, and set up the quick tray, and install Firefox, and FlashGet/Flashgot, and a whole bunch of other stuff. If you're new to Windows (yes, you are - maybe not new to computer, but new to Windows) then it's going to be an irritating experience until you settle on your "way of doing stuff". Especially frustrating for the experienced other-os user, since they already have their "way of doing stuff" and it's just so slow doing it in Windows.
if you're migrating, no doubt you're performing tests to ensure your product is still fit. once you have your test plan ready, determining fitness against either kernel should be straight-forward.

The % sign does not appear before the number. Please do not make me angry.
I agree and disagree.

Did anyone else think "how is Kirk going get out of this one"?
And afterward, "Safety so good, it was verified by NASA
Anything like the metal they pulled from that ship that crashed in Roswell?
A police car could see the status of cars as they drive past (speeding / stolen).
or a radar like in Grand Theft Auto?
Didn't the Kama Sutra come out of India?

I wish that TV Shows were available on Rapidshare legit. The download speeds are great, and I would definitely pay $1 per episode.

If this technology is as good as it sounds, this spells the end of the mouse.
Seriously, my mousepad could be a touchpad.
Would probably need a thimble to avoid friction burn though.
finish complex projects immediately upon them requesting.
He's mostly right, except for the bit about free.
Honestly, I'd pay somewhere between $1.00 and $2.50 for a movie, if it were HQ-5.1 and instant play, like youtube.
Because it's more convenient to download a movie, and play it on my media player than aquire and load a DVD, so I choose that medium.
The movie producers leave me little option than to download illegally.
Yes, I've seen the stores, their selection sucks.
Joe Public: What happen ?
Coder: Somebody set up us the bomb.
Operator: We get signal.
Joe Public: What !
Operator: Main screen turn on.
Joe Public: It's you !!
Wall Street Fat Cat: How are you gentlemen !!

yeh, it was nvidia. haha

When looking at the before/after pictures, was anyone else surprised when they read which was the raytraced version?
To me, the ship in the water looks better with the bump map.

I've had around 20 years experience with computers. I would also refer to it as "in front of a computer".
