That would be a minor start, but would at best just get me into a homing position while making it a less comfortable touchpad. Getting off-center while not looking would still happen very, very fast as you'd have no physical feedback, and errors would definitely increase without the physical sensation of having hit a…

I find this useless. The primary point of a 10-key is being able to use it without looking due to its standardized layout and tactile feedback that ensures accuracy. If you have to look and deal with the typical problems with missed entries that you're not sure of since you have no physical feedback, you might as well…

Good job stating subjective opinions as facts.

I apologize, apparently FiOS does NOT have caps after some brief research.

I've had the opposite experience. I only move to places that have Time Warner available due to their service and the fact that they're the only provider who doesn't have monthly caps.

I used it at the store. Was typing high-speed very quickly and was happily surprised with it. Guess you'll prejudge me as a liar.

Tagging someone in your reply isn't always an option. Unless you're in a group, you can't tag someone who isn't your friend. This idea makes sense to me. Comment threads get far too cluttered and confusing when they get heated. Being able to be clear what you're replying to is handy.

It's actually Windows key + Pause (sometimes they're separated, which is how I learned this), and you're right, it's awesome. But I left it out of the list only because a disappointing number of keyboards have removed the Pause key entirely now. Most notebooks now ship with the hardware controls merged as Fn keys, and…

Obviously. He wasn't saying free apps INSTEAD of fixing the problem.

It can't possibly be, based both on volume comparisons and how soon the problem's being reported. It took much longer for the RROD to become an issue, and it was well past warranty for most people, and a heck of a lot more 360s had been sold. This will be handled under warranty and the manufacturing problem resolved…

Live Tiles are, by necessity, drastically larger than taskbar icons. The information they need to present couldn't be presented effectively in the space available. And for some, that space is already at a premium. Heck, people were angry enough with the Windows 7 taskbar being just a few pixels taller.

I'll grant you your search complaints, although I find they're simply more complicated, not fully inferior.

Yes, but one click each time you start your computer. If even. Realistically most of the time you start your computer you're clicking to open a program, either pinned to your taskbar or in your Start Menu. If you're just clicking on that program from the Start screen you've either wasted no time, or are clicking LESS…

The most infuriating thing is they just shut down Montopia to push people toward this, making any time and money they invested into it pointless. They just held a big event a couple of weeks ago in Montopia, encouraging people to spend money to buy currency to use to get better rankings in order to win better monsters…

Seriously? A single click is the main thing keeping you from upgrading? That seems extreme. And I've found the search to be anything but inferior so far.

I'm not sure you're telling us anything different from what we already assumed/knew. People were holding out to see the iPad Mini before buying a Fire HD. The Mini underwhelmed, so they finally made the purchase.

I don't disagree that the tablet-optimized selection is better. I just disagree that the difference is dramatic enough to warrant the "far more useful device" distinction. Obviously this is a matter of opinion, but I was only sharing that my experience counters the opinion you put forward. I have worked with an iPad,…

Seriously. I think the standards for what is and isn't a gimmick have changed. While I don't necessarily find the streaming apps to be full-on gimmicks, I do find the idea of building them into a TV where they're likely to be harder to keep up to date than they would be in a separate device (360, Roxio, Boxee, etc.)…

Weird... I care about apps, and my Nexus 7's been exceptionally useful since the moment I unboxed it. It's my favorite device.

Head+desk. There go all my plans to switch to a pre-paid SIM and stick to Nexus phones from now on. Built-in battery, no microSD slot AND only 8GB of storage? What happened to Nexus phones being examples of the best a phone can be? This is below middling. It's crippled.
