    The Apple Thread

    I have no problem with Apple's hardware but their operating system is an absolute mess. I would never be able to go back to it unless they made some significant changes to the user experience.

    That's why Android has 80% of the market?

    General Cricket Discussion

    Alright, I'm confused about World Cup dates, since I'm planning to travel to Australia next Feb/March. Specifically, the India v West Indies game. Cricinfo and the ICC Travel site show this game as being on March 6th (Friday) but the World Cup site shows Thursday, March 5th. Is this just...

    Windows 8

    I still don't understand the fascination with the Start Menu. I installed Windows 8 on my oooold laptop a while back and barely use Metro but I have absolutely not missed the Start Menu. Do people really prefer to remember how to navigate through a hierarchy of apps versus just hitting the...

    Your chance to vote in the US Presidential Election

    Romney's campaign fell off the rails due to a bunch of gaffes he and his party made. There was obviously the 47% comment which was blown up. That a presidential candidate thinks this privately is worrisome but that he says it publicly is atrocious. Then there was Mourdock with his ---- babies...

    Windows 8

    MSDN has many subscription levels. The one I'm at offers W8 licenses, for example. However, it is in violation of the MSDN agreement to give software licenses to people outside the program, so I won't be doing that. ---------- Depends on your definition of "better". It is more convenient...

    Microsoft Surface Tablet

    Bought a 32 gig Surface today from the brick and mortar store. I had to stand in line for almost 2 hours at 11 am so there was definitely interest. The Touch Cover is amazing. I'm loving this device right now. Remote Desktop app means I don't really need the Surface Pro.

    Microsoft Surface Tablet

    I'm not too pleased about the price point as I was interested in a Surface Pro when it came out next year to replace my current laptop. At $499 + cover, I may end up getting a Surface RT as that is the only one that fits into my price range. Although I may save that and go for the Lumia 920 instead.

    Windows 8 Consumer Preview on Virtual PC.

    It's not a Mac look, it's the Metro UI, which is what they have on the Windows Phone platform.

    NBA Discussion Thread

    Lin's production is not gonna last. Right now he's a completely unknown commodity. Let the scouts work their magic on him and he's going to be a TO-machine in a couple of weeks. Factor in Melo and Stoudemire coming back and playing ISO and you get rid of all the stuff a true PG gives you. It is...
