Sorry to disappoint all you fanboys, but I usually find them too unscientific. They just want to bust something in the end, screw fair testing.

good so far, but could have mentioned dlna, wifi, and software available to play netflix, etc.

Windows 7.

You just say 'xbox be my bitch'

You mean you fucking agree with him right?

We had to beat the salmons up the river.

Don't know, but you can start live messenger sessions easily, with some fancy kinect automatic framing.

That totally looks like Mr. Bean to me.

Visual search: scan barcodes or even a book cover. AUdio search (like kazam). voice search. local scout (like local pages, etc). it's all builtin, no apps required.

Bing finds it. If you will be biased against it, at least try it first before bashing it.

Agreed - this is no news - the headline is misleading (no surprise here).

I think they mean the tablets (i.e., non-intel netbook type) will be metro-only. Desktops and notebooks will have the full feature. And that was already advertised early on, so this is no news.

No borderline for me...

Unless you are a developer, please don't waste your time. You will be frustrated since the interface isn't polished yet (it's not even up to the same level as the ones being demoed at build). People who complain about the interface at this point just create noise. Wait till the non-developer betas are out there.

Bing had it first.

Strap them in the booster seat.

I own a nook simple touch, and bought a kindle (type 3, the old model) to send as a gift abroad. Sadly, b&n doesn't allow for the nooks to be used outside the US. That said, the one thing that made me choose the nook over the kindle is the way pdfs are scaled. On the nook, I change the font size, everything is still…

Tomorrow news: Chinese release google clone that does not filter any sites, accessible through proxies.

So, they want us to be like China, basically, where the government can block whatever they want.

Does anyone know if the pdf zooming is still happening, instead of resizing fonts like the nook does? That alone kills it for me. I have a nook simple touch and love it. Haven't seen anything here that would make me switch. Just not having to convert files because they say so is reason enough.
