She's got 2 of those, and one of them was a replacement for her original kindle keyboard, and they've all had this problem.

Did you guys happens to test the performance when loaded? My grandmother has an old Kindle 3 (Kindle Keyboard) and she's a reading fiend. But the thing is just so damn slow after it has a couple hundred titles on-hand.

I had the same problem with my galaxy nexus until I slapped an extended battery in it. :-) I like a little heft to my gadgets, personally.

Today I learned that some people disable force feedback.

Nope, Radagast the Brown played by Sylvester McCoy

No way in hell is a Surface Pro coming in at $500. From what we know, its an ultrabook in svelt tablet form.

Anecdotal story about someone who did just that and paid in small coins... He got stuck at the station for hours as they had to double count the coins (he didn't roll them) and could not leave until it was counted and accepted, or he could've taken it all home and given up.

Considering I don't even notice the non-intrusive ads on my Kindle Touch... Sure, if I was in the market for a tablet right now.

My money is saying that its all leading up to the anniversary next year.

^^ My first thought. :'(

I don't remember the specifics, but there was an article a year or two ago about how doing huge cloud backups from remote locations with poor connectivity, they'd do exactly that. Physically ship you the storage and you send it back once you've loaded it up. The latency is pretty terrible, but the bandwidth is…

"Uhhh, we come in peace?"

Sorry, completely off topic, but I just noticed your Slylandro Probe icon and just HAD to compliment you on it. :-D

Generally speaking, you do get tangible results from those that provide in-game benefits to your character.

Its even worse knowing that by the time you start showing symptoms its already too late, and (as far as I'm aware) the tests they do to see if that's the cause of your condition take several days to a week for the results, while the time from infection to death is about 2 weeks. Very creepy indeed.

This post ignores the article it's pointing to, as they're talking about the specifications for all Windows 8 RT tablets, not th Surface RT specifically. We still don't have solid specs on that at all.

More like fast as hell streaming commercials to go with splotchy live competitions.

I'll just call it, "Shit! Shit! Who pissed off Ares!"

Just waiting for the photoshops of Clippy covered in TF2 swag...

No reason they couldn't make it a quiet update. Maybe a quick blurb about how The New iPad will ship with the new connector starting today. Just change the connector on it and include an adapter and I don't see anyone having an issue here.
