"clueless"? I have suffered every OS from M$ft since 3.1. I am a support-level user and a software trainer. I built all my own PCs, myself (except for one). That is what qualifies my opinion on this product and all failware that M$ releases. I think you miss the point of the iPad. I don't think it's purpose was…

Ok, it is time for full-disclosure. How much money is Gizmodo receiving from Mi¢ro$oft and how many shares of M$FT is the author holding? There's no way M$ could be "exciting".

So, what do we thing? Totaled?

I think business users are, unbeknownst to themselves, becoming spoiled for a platform that does not require security software. They won't realize that they haven't missed it until—and unless—they end up going back to Mi¢ro$oft.

Mi¢ro$oft is hoping that the gap between *wanting* to build the perfect product and actually *building* it can be filled with marketing.

"Having a USB port on the Surface is brilliant". Really? All the way to "brilliant"? Isn't it really just Mi¢ro$oft failing to take the risks required to be revolutionary? Maintaining the status quo is how they lost the throne to Apple and keeping up with yesterday is guaranteed to solve that problem they've been…

"Microsoft Surface Just Made the MacBook Air and the iPad Look Obsolete. By Steve Ballmer." It's nice looking and has a clever feature or two but they haven't demonstrated any function. The video of the unpowered device was clever, flashy and probably expensive but are we really supposed to fill-in the blanks and…

This means that not only do they do not know what they are doing but that they never knew.

What's "frenc"? :-)

The definition for "well" included the word "rotgut" (poor-quality and potentially toxic alcoholic liquor.) That should have been defined, as well. (it still could, btw).

H.A.A.R.P.

The soviets didn't go for the same reason America (and every other nation) didn't go: They had no solution for the radiation of the Van Allen Belts. They still don't...neither does anyone else. That's why all the shuttle flights have stayed in orbit of the earth and no *other* country has announced a moon landing…

Here comes the cover-up...or a clean up job...or disinformation. Expect anything but the truth.

You say that because it wasn't *you* who suddenly had an open bank vault at your disposal. It's not like he devised and undertaking to rob the bank by stealth or by force. The court was correct (this time) in assessing a "lack of judgement" (thought the penalty might still be a bit light). There is something to be…

If he's smart (and he probably isn't), he would have stashed that money and lied about having gambled it all away.

BOA robbed me of $70 in fees before I realized it. Needless to say, I closed that account but it seems that, in that same moment, "Karma" opened one...

The self-destruction of humanity makes you very happy?

Vile.

Q: "Why did the Soviets never go to the moon?"

Everybody talks about freedom for the people but whenever the people actually begin to behave as though they were free, the forces of control invariably descend upon them...waving flags.
