I was at Best Buy over the weekend and physically checked them out. There was a MS rep who was hanging out at the Surface tablet stand and he quickly tagged me. In the same fashion as the sad sales guys at the malls trying to give you a pitch on switching cell phone providers. As I was...

The bigger issue is Samsung's own lineup of smartphones. The Galaxy S2 and S3 smartphones with the HDMI adapter plugged into a large screen is like having a pseudo computer as well. I have the Galaxy S2 and I surf, watch videos, email, text, play 3D games, etc through my 50" 1080p display. To...

For the last 15 or so years I've been bashing M$soft. In the last 2 years though, I've slowly change my mind about M$soft. It starts with the XBOX and XBOX360. As the underdog in the gaming market M$soft created a product channel that wasn't a "bully" but rather a "competitor" and actually...

Wait until there's AutoLinux. Then virus problems will really drop.

lassikIt'll be the 'Firebook' if you leave it in the sun for 14 hours. Damn that's a good name. Firebook. I'm trademarking and copyrighting it now. Firebook TM. Firebook C.

No recession over there at Apple.

My toast is much too hot... does anyone have a liquid cooler for hot toast?

3d on a laptop... really? And when they can't get battery life to stretch more than 2hours??? Seriously... I've purchased laptops that claim 5 to 8 hours. None have gone close to advertised and after about 6 months of use, the batteries usually half worn out. Don't give me BS features...

The usual with MS... if someone isn't suing them, they are suing someone else.

Not too bad... but when a better performing low budget laptop runs $400... I think there's a lot of price hype. For the sum of the parts and capabilities, the tablet should be more like $250-300 and keyboard for $50.
