Subjective. Most of us Xbox users think exactly the opposite.

Not a chance. None. Ubuntu's had plenty of opportunity for far too long and nobody in the consumer market has cared. This won't change that. And I like Chrome OS, but it's also not a contender.

It's similar, only Microsoft isn't cutting out their OEMs. They're merely also ensuring, at the least, there's a device that fits their own vision.

I don't understand the relevance of your question.

Right, like the Xbox. Boy has THAT been a huge failure.

Reminds me of a customer who came in the Best Buy I worked at years ago who had been informed by an associate at another Best Buy that he should buy an external FireWire hard drive as opposed to USB, as it was a higher-quality connection and would reduce loss of image quality when transferring his photos to it.

And out of curiosity, how many people bring in phones without broken USB ports? Or nothing wrong with them at all? Also, do you service iPhones?

People thought it was the size of a GameCube? The photos all seemed really clear about its size to me. Plus the components were that of a smartphone, making it illogical to be any larger than what you're saying now. I just assumed its size was apparent.

Similar to the impact of Xbox Live demos. It made it a lot easier to try before you buy, and it actually got me excited about games I never would have been, and allowed me to skip the junky ones.

Never once had a problem. microUSB is actually surprisingly hardy. And it appears FAR less breakable than the much larger, much more complex iPod connector.

Yep, first time for me, too. Confused.

Six years! Wow, impressive! Do I get extra credit for having worked in one for SEVEN? And having spent just as long in the IT field, supporting these clueless users directly? I doubt it, because it's like measuring one's e-penis.

Your experience is your own. The average Joe here knows EXACTLY what a USB flash drive is. The term is ubiquitous, accurate, and clear. Not sure what kind of people you're dealing with who've never heard that phrase.

Okay, so what would you recommend this person with a documented disability who has this amazing medical technology as a support system do? You're describing things you have an option for. You wouldn't walk down the street wearing bright green pants, or wouldn't walk around waving a camera at the police, or wouldn't…

Can't support G+ until Google opens up the APIs, unfortunately.

Yep, definitely a blog. Hence why they call it one everywhere they refer to it.

I stand corrected. Gizmodo wrote EXACTLY that article several months back, so I assumed that's what you were referring to and that every other reply was merely dense.

Did you bother to read the article? It details exactly what occurred, which is NOTHING like what you just assumed.

Whether or not they like to be recorded doesn't justify them assaulting him and damaging his equipment. THE END.

It's okay, *I* got the reference.
