Windows does dominate, but how many software programs are now unused because people have found they can duplicate those functions on a tablet? Do you think a map app would be popular on the desktop when a tablet can do that better?

It depends. Consumer or commercial market? Productivity or games? Low-priced popular or high-priced niche? EDIT to add: Win, OS X, Linux? Also, I would not do any desktop program without also thinking about how it would be as a tablet app -

Fox 18 on XP here and I can't get anything to work, either. Mouse scrollwheel, spacebar, arrow keys all do nothing. In addition, I don't know if you're using any light gray for visual cues. That's a problem. My screen is crap with shot c

No. With touchscreens, it will morph even further and converge with TVs (or become the TV -- you know, what you watch general video on, not necessarily what is fed by TV).

Don't know where this reply will wind up in the thread, but the more I read here, the more it does seem like a bad marketing decision that was likely driven by not alienating partner Intel. Apple could afford to diss Intel because it was a

Or think of it as a foreshadowing of a touchscreen iMac. I don't think Apple would put a battery in theirs, however. I think most people would be satisfied with just AC.

Wordpressdotcom added Infinite Scroll to blogs. I turned it off but it still has it when you want to see older posts. How much I hate it! I spend more time staring at a damn spinning wheel than seeing more posts when Search won't bring up

This already exists. A lot of WordPress blogs use it (I think WordPress might have acquired the company that created it). I have disabled it on my WordPress(dotcom) blogs because it's just a PITA. It takes too long for a preview to be cr

There was hardly anything on sale with Win 8 during the holidays. I think it's too soon to assign any reason until "everything" is out there and then sales are measured. Despite Asus unveiling a bunch of stuff back in late October -- like

That's the only one I've got. Sorry it's not it. IIRC, the velocity of money was mentioned in it too, in later chapters. It seems to be an idea that's been around for a while.

That seems a bit familiar to me. Did the book make an analogy between the Wizard of Oz book and gold and primarily deal with debt? EDIT to add: Some Googling, and this is the book I was thinking of: http://www.webofdebt.com/excerpts/chapt

Less memory? I don't know about that. There are some Google Book PDF scans of early 20th-century magazines that are close to 1GB in size. It's been my experience that even a good tablet doesn't keep more than 3-5 of these scanned PDF pag
