Most window managers don't really handle a single large monitor as well as many small ones. For instance, I can just maximize a bunch of different applications, each on different monitor. Only takes a few clicks.
You really need to look into using a tiling window manager (like dwm) that automatically handles the sizing and positioning of windows for you. My windows are arranged with zero clicks.
1) Wrong, most won't be touch
2) Usage stats prove it
3) So first you say a Windows 8 laptop with a touchscreen will be the most sold device, but make fun of people who would use a 12" ipad with a keyboard? irony alert.
I have a family member who I just found out doesn't believe in evolution. Well, humans evolving from apes anyway. He believes in microevolution. Can anyone point me towards a very up to date, single resource, that can help me convince him of evolution? Something that lays out a clear case from the fossil records to the genetic information -- all of it in one, clear argument.
I was just asking because the guy I replied to said it couldnt use dual GPU. I mean does it today or do they have stated plans to support it? I mean, I ASSUME they would?
Since when is $159 "absurdly expensive" for a high end computer case? So buy the cheapest razor sharp aluminum piece of shit you can find and save, what, $100? On a $10,000 computer? Who cares?
And seriously let me know where you're going to find an 850W PSU for $60 to run this $10,000 computer that's not a total piece of shit. And again, you're going to save $100? On a $10,000 PC? Aaaaand...???
You also don't understand that the difference between professional and consumer grade graphics cards, you should really read up on it.
I never understood how door panel flex became a corollary for the durability of a vehicle. Panels bend so they don't break, that's a good thing. Have you tried leaning on a rear differential? How about a piston?
That's kind of the beauty of America, right? We're the combination of cultures from all over the world. Chevrolet can be just as American os O'Flanerty or Valentino or Dikembe Mutumbo.
The smart ones who have a propensity for it will "get it" and gravitate towards it, just like the always have. Many, or maybe even most, programmers (at least back end) are going to interact with a UNIX like environment at some point.
With many months of work with physical access to the device and then intentionally loading apps which allow you to load other apps while TETHERED via USB to a computer. And this makes the iPhone "insecure"?
This excuse is used so often on twitter it has become a cliche - "oh no! my account was hacked! i definitely didnt get drunk and claim nazis werent that bad"
There are people that appreciate a premium product and are willing to pay more, and those that aren't. It's why Toyota and BMW are both successful companies. It's also why I call BMW an "exceptional company" even though their products are significantly more expensive. I certainly appreciate your position and it's one shared by a lot of people. I don't think that makes either of us wrong, it's just a difference of opinion. But it's also why I'm less concerned over market share and who makes a genuinely better product, which for me, currently, is an iPhone 5S. And before you get your pitchfork out, I was a Galaxy Nexus user before this and I thought it was a really good phone.
But I have to disagree with your use of the phrase "price gouge" when referring to smartphones -- there are plenty of alternatives out there. Maybe I just use too narrow of a definition of the term but I typically reserve the phrase for some kind of necessary or somewhat necessary commodities that someone has the only supply of for sale.
Remember that even though Apple's PERCENTAGE of the overall smartphone marketshare is decreasing, their TOTAL marketshare is INCREASING, just not as fast as the total market size, mostly because the market is increasing into areas that are far more price conscious (read: China). But, Apple just signed this deal with China mobile so I'll be very interested to see what happens. This is the huge growth market for Android that has allowed it to rapidly outpace Apple's growth with incredibly cheap, low end Android "smartphones".
If you read up on the 31" ASUS 4K monitor actually does this, it has two boards that each control 1/2 of the screen. It shows up in windows as 2 monitors and you combine them into one desktop. Now if only we could create arbitrary sets of "monitors" to show our video card.

Nothing is 100%. Plex is pretty close. Other than that, build a PC and use Mobile Mouse.

Or a high quality IPS monitor for $1.3k.
Wrong.

There's nothing to debate. Don't even give them the respect that their ridiculous voodoo deserves a response.

Huh? Adobe Creative suite can't use dual GPUs?
So buy a $150 case and PSU. Congratulations you just save 2.7% of the cost. You're still more expensive than a Mac Pro.
He was trying to build a machine that was not a piece of shit. That's relatively middle of the road for a high end workstation PSU and case.

"Raises the question" just reads so much more pleasantly, I agree with you.
Or how about the Chromebook Pixel with it's 3:2 aspect ratio at 13" 2560x1700?
It still cracks me up there is an entire product category called "Ultrabooks" otherwise known as "macbook air knockoffs".
