Trust me this sucks way less than being relegated to the control group for cancer drugs, or any other type of life threatening disease.

Yes, because in 2013 we will have mastered battery technology allowing for longuse wireless earbuds.

You'll never be able to listen to music again.

Maybe there was a point in pursuing antitrust against microsoft in the 90s but this is absurd. It's a fricking internet browser, this isn't standard oil opening up a gas station next to an independent and undercharging to drive the competition out of business. And the point about iPads is valid, why are iPads not…

"the most terrifically-integrated mobile keyboard ever. It doesn't compare to the junky Bluetooth options you can slap against your iPad. Microsoft's keyboard cover is perfectly integrated with the device, and touch typing on it is actually possible. You can't say the same for the iPad's glass."

Jesus can you pen up a review as well? I feel like you seem to "get" the surface a little more. Reviews should not only compare a product to it's marketing but also review it in a vaccum from marketing, just how is it to use?

Whats the point of reviewing this before you can compare it to the surface?

"An iPad (mini) can very well replace 80-90% of the functions that you do on a laptop."

Why the f would schools buy these when they could just buy a kindle fire instead? Especially since the kindle is likely to have better book support. Schools nationwide are cash strapped, they can't afford an extra $130 per unit. Your argument makes no sense.

So, a slower processor, half the ram and 25% lower pixel density, no real advantages. Got it.

So yes. Well crap. Good thing I didn't run off to best buy.

hmmm, has ebay gotten any better at beating the old bootleg shipping scam? Sell them with a buy it now price of $1 and list shipping and handling at $44?

Easy, eBay.

Facebook is going to want to store your files in more than one location, they don't want a single harddrive failure to result in the loss of thousands of profiles. This could be a better way for them to have a backup, yes it's slow to access but they'd only use it in the event of lost data.

Lol, I am also an engineer and I always type the wrong one the first time, and then have to go back and check myself.

As long as they have HPDE Events and Tracks days too I'm all for it. However I hope a lot of concerts don't move out there, one of the things that makes Austin so great for live music is all the tiny venues where you can get closer to the performers.

I was able to improve my MPG from ~17MPG to ~21.5MPG on long highway runs by dropping my speed from 75mph to 65mph and extensive use of cruse control. It's really tempting to go 75 or 80 mph down here in Texas, especially because the speed limit is 75mph for a lot of my regular drive from Austin down to Laredo but…

I think the tinfoil is cutting off bloodflow to your brain.

The biggest problem with your argument, especially the GT-R example is that the objective of all car enthusiasts should be to go as fast as possible. I call bullshit on that. The objective of car enthusiasts in my mind to to have as much fun as possible with cars. For me personally I enjoy using that third pedal so…
