That is friggen awesome. Take that shit Light Bright!

And this is the reason I will not own a tablet till their price is cut about in half. They are just too limited to me.

Yeah, I really should be working...

@zPhreak: Another good point, guess the whole situation was a good bit more complex than the article leads one to believe.

@scrapking: Good point, hadn't thought of that.

@Sentientv2: Has what to do with what? If MS never sold another Office license for a Mac I doubt it would affect their bottom line that much.

I know the two companies have a good working relationship, and there's no reason they shouldn't, but I'm a little confused as to why Microsoft felt they needed to placate Stevie-boy. I would have though at the point all this went down Apple needed MS more than MS needed Apple. Think about it, if you were required to…

@RubiksCube: Cool, haven't been sleeping well, my sarcasm-meter is currently unreliable at best.

@RubiksCube: Hmm, all I heard was "My stuffs better, look how much money I spent on it!"

@FauxReal: Yeah, I think Sprint assumes that just because Android smartphones are doing so well against the iPhone that the same will hold true of iPad vs Android tablets. To me that's a huge assumption that not really based on anything concrete.

@iacubbulelec: Well said. I agree that having to pay for multiple devices individually is just plain stupid. The first carrier to figure this out will be my new carrier.

"What to do with your aging MacBook Air now that Apple's introduced two shiny new models? If you're a big greasy douche you blow it up, of course."

@El Pollo Loco:

I'M KANYE WEST AND I LIKE FISHSTICKS, IN MY MOUTH.

@Snake_Plissken: My PC is an old Dell Dimension 8400. I've upgraded the videocard but that was years ago.

My desktop PC is so old. I went to take a look at the required specs for the games the have listed and I'm only good on OS, sound and HHD space for most of them. Oh well, about what I expected. Think I'll get myself a 360 for X-Mas.

You live on "Eath" Kat? Where exactly is that? Do you have chocolate fountains there?

@siwex80: Photoshop could be usable, but they would be doing and 3D CAD on 2GB of ram and a mobile cpu/graphics chipset. The project I'm working on now is using C2D with 3GB ram and Nivida Quadro's and it chugs quite often. Granted those specs aren't exactly balls-to-the-wall either, but what do you expect from a DOE…

@Aklost: Yes you can pay more for the iPad, but you don't have to. With the Slate it's $800 or go home empty handed. I don't own an iPad and don't plan to. If had I been on the fence, waiting to find out about the Slate pricing, this news might have toppled me into Apple's walled garden.

$800 HP, really? No matter how much more capable your tablet is you're going up against the iPad, it's the king of the mountain. Quite a few people already think the iPad is overpriced. So, yeah, good luck stoopid.
