This is just hard for me to see in general. It's targeting the play side of Windows, and not the work side of it. I'm not specifically saying for enterprise/business vs home, I'm saying "I'm going to play an app" vs "I'm going to get work done"

We just live out of our basement in the summer. It's a good 5-10 degrees colder in the summer, without the need to run the AC non-stop.

Precisely. At the time it was the logical evolution of the mobile PC. capacitive touch screens of that size were too expensive for a relatively unknown and untapped technology. At that time, people were still using a stylus with their palm pilots and smartphones were just starting to crawl out of the primordial pool.…

Windows 8 Desktop Edition. $89.99, requires Windows 8 to install.

Honestly, I don't think you could have said it any better.

For both Apple and Sony to come up with a strikingly similar shape and design (Nearly identical) without ever having seen each other's products shows a flaw in Apple's case. Sure, Samsung copied the little details too, like…

Did the $15,000 citing include the equipment used in rigging his house with home-made explosives? That may explain the discrepancy.

That's far too short to be considered a realistic timeframe for copying another product. Devices like this go through months to years of development before release.

In the comic books it's described that it can only last about an hour or so, then it dissolves itself. So yes, NYC doesn't have to clean up because he thought ahead.

# 1: Some devices made today, including certain Ciscos, support remote access via console. This is by far easier, AND CHEAPER, than using modern IP KVMs or other remote console methods. Not to mention you can encrypt the phone line.
