Some people on this site have no sence of logic. Which is ironic for a site like Slashdot.
The screens are much smaller than a normal LCD, therefore the chance of failure for a screen is much lower. Also, since this device is made up muliple screens the entire keyboard does not need to be throwen away if one of the screens fail.
Besides, they say this will most likely be OLED, which is more reliable than LDCs, IIRC.
No! Don't you get it? This is Slashdot, a site for geeks to talk about technology. So therefore, Slashdot nerds being the nerds they are, will rip anything new apart, because they're so open-minded about new technology.
Yeah, because we all know that D and B keys are like, in the exact same place, and that the font used will only have one pixel for the "bar"/"loop" of the B, and that there is a high dead pixel rate for low resolution OLED screens.
Since when is MS all for free market capitalism? Don't you remember that they are a monopoly? They only support the free market when it benifits them, else they go crying to the government. They're a coporation, they'll do whatever brings them more cash. And free market capitalism in the US is something they probably want less of at the moment; the less free the market is (in certain ways), the stronger their monopoly is.
Coporations are dictatorships. Also, I'm no fan of capitalism, but coporatism is capitalism with even less responsibility for society and the environment.
Do a google search for a car named "Atom". It's not your ordinary sedan (purely a sports car, but road legal). But it will kick an Enzo's butt, and costs about the same as a Merc. The engine is a 2L Honda. BBC's Top Gear had a good review of it.
Not if your building is secure. Where I work, you'd be questioned within a minute if you sat at someone's desk and started to use their computer. And if don't work for our company, you wouldn't even get through the door.
There's also this one. Anyone who thinks that snake was just falling needs their eyes checked. Even an experienced skydiver would be impressed with that.
I've seen something similar in some movie where they exhange bodies as an alternative to traveling by plane/car etc. Except is wasn't so much a sword, as a garrot, that winds up in to one end, like a tape-measure or access card holder.
A 16 bit RAW will basicly have the same amount of data as a 16 bit greyscale TIFF. But a 16 bit per channel (48 bit RGB) TIFF will be bigger, because it would be generated after the image has been proccessed from the raw sensor data into a proper RGB image.

I really love the first part! The last part is a bit too much for me.
I'd also remove any metal-framed paintings on the wall, as this will cause interference to the bit-rate preprocessor.
...And a real mess if you try to play a symphony one or two bars at a time...Which is a better anology for the original point ;)

That title goes to Australia. And there are many other countries before the US.
Disregard that comment. I read the thread wrong.
How do you know that the other electronics on the thumb drive aren't the bottle-neck, and not the flash RAM chips?
They already have artifical muscles. But I suspect they're not practical enough at the moment for use in situations like this.
And an extra head, with an AMD chip for crunching numbers like an autistic savant.
The laws of quantum physics?

The Simpsons did have original humor, it's just that it's satire, so it naturally refers to other things.
Microsoft doesn't have that much choice, really.
But it still beats an Enzo, and is pretty close to the Porsche. It wouldn't take that much more to beat the Carrera GT.
My dremel tool has no magnets.

Any properly designed system should not be prone to brute-force. Even a simple measure such as restricting to one login attempt per second.

The reciept is not from Apple though, is it? It's from the dealer.
I'm sure you already know that each pixel on most sensors can only record one colour?
Info on RAW. Info on colour filters.
