    the thing is most of those so called touch screen friendly ui failed the touchscreen test. kde is smart bought this they do not dump the desktop ui for another but have sepret projects for touchscreens and net-books.

    the problem is desktop decorations went from a side project to required. they also went from eye candy to just plain annoying with no real use. and being Microsoft steals all there idea from linux they did this to windows 8 as well and just like on the linux side of things nobody likes or wants it. the devs on both markets simply have gone from listing to what the users likes to we will tell you what you like.

    yes mate has become stable and works pretty well but enough of the forks we all know unity and gnome 3 suck.

    wait till oboma care kicks in and health care skyrockets. not to mention all the new taxes it brings.the usa economy is pretty much done i will be surprised if it doesn't crash in the next 5 years. the job market is dead it all in china now we don't make anything anymore maybe some cars but all the parts are from china. its simple math you cant keep buying new things when jobs are shrinking and paying less due to higher taxes or lower wages because they know people are despret enough to work for them. when people figure accept this realty maybe then will they out these tax and spend and fix nothing people from office.

    well Samsung took android and ran with it and are pretty much second to apple now so much so well apple tries to kill them all the time. i think its like 75% of the android market is a Samsung device wile the others guys fight over the rest. Nokia had the ball in there court they could have been the Samsung of android but nope they decided to drink the Microsoft spiked koolaid. i mean relly they have had 2 things ever not fail there desktop os and there console any other projects have always been epic fail or stillborn. look at windows 8 for gods sake someone tell them to stop trying to change whats not and never will be broken.

    cops are underpaid overworked people working a job you can get killed in at anytime kinda like the army but with far less pay. they tend to get cussed out spat on and disrespected they deal with drunk drivers druggys domestics and violent crimes daily. lets not forget yours where you have a city that does roadblocks just to catch traffic offenders and drunks just for ticket income wasting everyone's time that could be spent elsewhere. all that said they knew all this when they took the job and defiantly had no right to beat you for calling him a name.

  14. i think its a good idea as long as its not going to be overpriced or anything. think bought it they made this thing when people have been asking for dedicated button android systems and the fact android has been walking all over handheld gaming systems the last couple years. i know i would get one.

    its not really a console its just a android with a built in controller. pretty much anything you can aruldy do with a tablet.if anything its a smart move even if the sales are not good they put very little investment into it and it makes no difference if they quit making them down the road because they are android and will still get apps and games.

    they said it will do 6 hrs under gaming and like 12 playing video. maybe most of this devices size is the huge battery they put in.
