Not so much

that the tablets will crush the PC, more that the PC has plateaued in terms of performance v software, i.e. there is little or no need to upgrade a 3 year old PC because it is still more than up to its task. Consequently users will spend their beer tokens on something else. If the PC manufacturers want to boost their sales someone has to come up with a real memory/processor hog of a killer app. The PCs are still out there, their tasks that tablets can do will be taken over by tablet wielding users but the PC will still be sitting there on the desktop when you need some real crunching to be done.

SF readable again.

Our School

Seems to be about to plunge down the iPad slope, the bids offered from various suppliers were less than awe inspiring. The PC offerings were decidedly ordinary, HP netbook, fine for middle schoolers but a little diminutive when handled by a 200lb linebacker. The iPads will be replacing the awful MacBooks which although awful weree actually almost fit for purpose which the iPads are not. As someone said further up the discussion they would be better getting a decent ebook reader.

Looking at her portfolio (ooerr missus) I'd say she was probably concerned that any unphotoshopped shots of her nether regions ever made it on to the wibbly wobbly web.

Paris for very obvious and much snapped reasons.

bloody awful

Sign up is messed up, the android app doesn't login whilst you can login on the website. One for the trash can I think.

Is this a bit strange

That Apple can dictate this and Micro$haft gets a half billion euro fine for doing effectively the same thing on Windows. EU are missing a possible income stream here

Startisback is a very good Win 8 Start button utility 5 PC license is $5, 2 PCs for $3. Configure it right and you won't see metro at all.

Cut my ties

Waved the big bye bye to our cell phone provider this week , $100 a month for 1000 minutes on two lines with messaging, data plan was another $50 per month per phone. Moved to a PAYG outfit who offer unlimited voice/text/data for $45 a month, you just have to pay full price for the phones. No brainer.

Pints bought with savings after a couple of months.

Or for $200

You can buy a wireless 1TB HD. Been testing one of these, and despite the HD manufacturers attempt to torpedo it with really horrible apps and software (HD manufacturers really need to employ some decent GUI writers), the hardware is very good. For the time being, i.e. until it dies, I'll stick with my W8 128GB SSD and 8GB DDR3 laptop, and still be quids/bucks better off.

Walmart

Have just begun selling the iPhone 5 through its Straight Talk provider. Apple hits the low life. Waiting for the first as seen in Walmart vid featuring sweatpant wearing trailer trash complaining about the lack of accuracy in iMaps, means they can't find their way to the liquor store.

They had to do something

WD software is almost universally clunky and just downright bad. SmartWare... I don't think so.

In terms of sales

probably not performing, however, in terms of usability, it works for me, running it on a 4 year old laptop (dual core lenovo ideapad) and a 5 year old desktop (quad core Q6600 home build) faultlessly. The upgrade process was also the smoothest I've experienced. Mind you perhaps it bloody should be it is Windows EIGHT after all!

Perhaps

if these testicle starers would stop gazing at their generative organs then maybe at some point they might actually predict something correctly.

MediaPortal

Does the job, much nicer and much more configurable than WMC.. oh and it's free.

Venus in chains

Prefer "Venus in furs!".

Paris for obvious reasons, furs, yacht, chains etc.

Just

take 'em outside and shoot 'em with a ball of their own ordure.

Enough!!

stop the 'blood' money payments, if you want these buggers to stop doing this sort of stuff throw a few of them in jail for a few years and fine them personally.
