Not sure if this is thread-worthy, so I'll throw it in here. As expected, Google is expanding the Nexus line to include four phones/tablets:

At least the new iMac minis look decent and aren't horribly overpriced. |

The Nexus 10 sounds fantastic from what I hear. Having multiple profiles for users is a major major major plus. But was also hoping it would retail about $50 cheaper. Selling the $499 32GB version thru Walmart should be a major boost to sales though. Best news is that for $100 less than an iPad, you get a MUCH better device. Better display, faster processor, better speakers, NFC, 2x the RAM and better cameras. http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/...ft-surface-rt/ |

8->16gigs 16->32gigs And a new 3G option. Let's remember that the Nexus 7 has only been out since July, and in some countries a matter of weeks. A lot of consumers (even techy ones) think that the upgrade cycle with tablets and cellphones is too aggressive. Doing any serious upgrade this soon would be a bit brutal. A big, overlooked part of this upgrade is the new content deals. Warner signs up finally, more content deals in other countries, and Google announces launch of a Google Music Matching system. Getting closer to parity in content. |

So? You can't get Visual Studio for OS X. I can't imagine that you'd want to build for a platform you can't test on.

GuildWars is currently only available for Windows, not Android. There is a Wine-wrapper for it if you want to run it on a Mac, but getting it to run on an Android is an entirely different matter.
Hardware-wise it should run just fine, but since the OS is not compatible I can't see how you would get it to run. |

AS I say for apple. It is dumb not to include one.

only if you have 3g/4g or wifi in the area. I want my device to be as mobile as possible without having to spend money I shouldn't have to. Not to mention the bandwidth limits carriers like to instill.
And anyway, how much can it possibly cost to put that tiny little slot in there that allows up to 64 or even 128 extra gb. Nope, they have to find a way to charge you $100 -200 more for that little bit of space.

Apples are great for self-absorbed hipster kids in fake eyeglasses & skinny jeans, blogging away in coffee shops. Their market was built on Windows Vista. Perhaps Windows 8, with its radical departure from a traditional desktop experience, will give rise to a valid third option? Perhaps a more user-friendly Linux distro (Ubuntu is very user-friendly IMO, but to most non-technical people, it is still too difficult to use).

Oops, I posted this in the wrong thread...
So I just had a discussion with a customer about Surface, RT, and Windows 8. They're a BIG fan and say they much prefer Microsoft's solution vs. the iPad and Android. Why? Because it runs all the shit they already run. That's the pitch, right there. Great new features? Maybe. But it runs Office! I've come to realize that most of our discussion is misplaced. Of course the potential $1200 price tag is too high - for a HOME USER. |
