Everything that I've read claims that the differences between Office 2013 and Office RT are negligible. The full desktop version is definitely included, it's the metro version that lacks features.

Well the good news is that you are mistaken, Surface RT comes with both the desktop version of OneNote and OneNoteMX. http://office.microsoft.com/en-nz/home-and-student/office-ho...

Shutting down using Win 8 takes exactly the same number of clicks as in Win 7. Alternatively you could just hit the power button and it'll shut down fine.

The only people advocating G+ are tech journalists that have a strong following and like to market their websites on it. It just doesn't have a lot of utility for the average folk who primarily want to engage with their friends and family.

This submission had 10 upvotes after just 10 minutes, while no other submissions on the new page have more than a handful of votes. Does HN have anything in place to detect people gaming the system through fake accounts or voting rings?

One feature that many will overlook is that it also has mouse support built in. Using Citrix or similar apps on an iPad is a waste of time because there's absolutely no support for anything other than the touch screen.

The people that I see on Google+ use it in a very different way than the average user uses Facebook. It's much closer aligned to Twitter than Facebook. The average Facebook user uses it as a tool to keep in touch with family and friends. Go

Is there anyway to view this without being forced into creating a google+ account? edit: I can see it when browsing from my pc, on mobile I get redirected to a G+ signup form.

The shift to mobile has potential to be a major issue for any web service that currently relies on display advertising in the browser. Sooner or later these companies are going to need to find a way to monetize mobile app users. Third party

The article is satire in response to this: http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/30/2988798/paul-miller-year-w... Perhaps a mod could add Satire to the thread title to avoid the confusion.

I'm also seeing this. Is it not available internationally yet or are they just rolling it out slowly?

Of course they do, why else would it be so popular?

Windows 8 and Skydrive has a similar concept built into it called contracts. Developers can integrate their app to work with Windows 8's UI. For example you can search your Flikr or Facebook directly in the OS in the same way that you sear

Twitter is one of the worst culprits. Currently there is no way to search for any tweet more than a few days old. Google's realtime search used to provide the ability to search and retrieve tweets from a specific date and time in the past,

In New Zealand our lowest denomination is 10c but retailers still use that pricing tactic. Electronic card transactions are very popular here and they are charged to the advertised price while cash transactions are simply rounded to the nea

New Zealand removed the 5c coin form circulation in 2004, leaving us with $2 ,$1 , 50, 20c and 10c coins. Electronic card transactions are charged to the nearest cent and cash transactions are rounded to the nearest 10th. The transition was

It's pretty simple really: Eat plenty of good foods & lift weights and you'll get bigger and stronger. Eat 500 calories under maintenance and lift weights and you'll lose weight while also getting stronger. http://www.liamrosen.com/fit

This tweet sums up the situation best "Having parliament talk about filesharing is like having gay guys talk about vagina. They don't really get it, and they don't want to." I watched the debate on parliament tv tonight and the lack of unde
