How do you make a laptop? :~)

So CrackBerry and N4BB aren't "actual insiders"? They never say it's an "old mock up".

But not a NANO-sim. That's what we're talking about here.

From the source: "So the smart notebook uses specially formatted paper that allows it to work with Evernote... The notebook also comes with special stickers, which tell the app the notebook (the virtual kind) where each page should be saved."

But it doesn't run on 3G. Only Wi-Fi.

I see it too, nice catch!

"You are part of a news site, do newspaper writers post their opinions about how they supported the holocaust? No! You keep that shit to yourself."

You can just use the desktop. Metro apps are more like fullscreen OS X apps, but the desktop is still there, and works the same way as before.

Try it again. The Developer Preview was awful, but since the Consumer Preview I've been using Windows 8 as my main OS.

No. Metro apps are sandboxed, you can't drag and drop anything onto them.

Windows 8 is easier for multilingual users: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/02/21/using-the-language-you-want.aspx

Mostly because it's faster: http://www.zdnet.com/windows-8-vs-windows-7-benchmarked_p2-7000002671/

Exactly. Strangely Windows 8 works better with a mouse than with a touchpad, but it works better on smaller screens - like, say, a laptop screen.

SSD still isn't the norm, though, so boot times do count.

I tried to do that but Windows wouldn't let me. Care to share a screenshot of your taskbar?

That's not actually false, since he did have issues with Mail: http://gizmodo.com/5934932/?comment=51884147

Also, there's Win+W for settings search.

Correct, $40 is the upgrade price. The full retail version will cost a little more, but Microsoft has yet to say how much.

I can't run L.A. Noire on Windows 8, it crashes before it can load. It works fine on Windows 7 on the same laptop.

I also think that's a step backwards, but there's a workaround: Win+F searches files; Win+W searches Control Panel items.
