I think that the most visible advantage/disadvantage of having different skin colors, are the frequency and severity of sunburns. Black people are more resistant to sunburns than white people. And given that they would need to move hundreds

They are different. You can have a regulated market, where while the country's trade and industry is still owned by private owners, the government dictates the rules that will establish the price for certain products and services. This is a

Thanks for that. So it seem that they use a "highly-customized server platform". I hope they show eventually what those customizations are.

Amusing. Your description fits very well for Google, Microsoft and Apple, if we leave server hardware aside, because I don't know exactly what hardware does Microsoft (or Apple) use in their own Datacenters. Does anybody know this?

You are right with the explorer thing. Even the large toolbar buttons in windows xp's explorer where nicer for touch I believe. Luckily, that new ribbon can be hidden.

That was my experience in my 2 months of using it. Then I had to format (bought a new SSD), and came back to seven. But I have to admit that I was a little worried at first about the changes. And some weren't of my liking. But in my day to

Maybe, this kind of excessive focus on metro is because its the real novelty in this os. The rest, is just a stronger and faster Windows 7. But understandably, that doesn't seem to be that interesting in comparison

This is what I think that a lot of people is misunderstanding. You will use the desktop as always in a workstation. Only while launching apps you will use the new start screen, unless you pin your most used ones in the taskbar. That way, yo

I mostly agree with you in that it's usually negative. But, outside the US, I think it's quite different. It's not as you say that "as opposed to appealing to the elites who would presumably understand that the thing's a bad idea". The elit

Exactly, people keep on talking about "rape", simply because the accusation is not a crime in any other country. So, I may be wrong, but I tend to think that this is a product of mass media: A- using this term to destroy his reputation, or

Well, we were kids back then, and I think they took it as one of the risks involved in teaching programming. They surely threatened him, but they just wanted us to stop. So, as we knew that if we kept on infecting the pcs, they would punish

Back in 2000, when I was in high school, I developed a trojan similar to netbus and sub7, but just to use it in the school comp labs. The objective was only to have fun. Telling my friends their login passwords, controling their pcs, (scree

Mine opens in exactly 1 second. But of course, it all depends on the machine specs. I have an i7 2600k, with a vertex 3 ssd. That makes it super quick.

I didn't know of it while the presentation was happening. But now I've checked it, and you seem to be right, it looks much better. Also, had checked a live coverage from Ars ( http://s3.amazonaws.com/liveblogs/microsoft-tablet/index.htm...

No. If you want to see it that way, it's more of a showcase for their own hardware engineering. They stated and repeated: "Every micron matters within Microsoft Surface." And take a look at this pictures: http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadge

I suspect that's because they don't have a final model yet. Notice that this page states: Actual size and weight of the device may vary due to configuration and manufacturing process . They announce what they know will be there in the fina

It's windows 8, so the software keyboard is there. I think that the cover will be sold separately. They announced it as "Surface Cover", and coming in different colors, it makes sense to be sold separately. So, there's no other option but t

Because it's basically a tablet, but the screen cover (3mm thick), that is attached with magnets and can be detached, is a full multi-touch keyboard.

Well, something like that, but you also have an x86 version. (But the x86 is going to be more expensive than the ARM version)

Maybe, just because it was "too expensive for tablets running it to be priced in a range to compete with the iPad", they put their own hardware (without charging themselves the OS license) at the same price of an iPad or Android tablet. Tha

Cool, the more competition, the better for the entire world! Hopefully, humanity is back on track to finally go out there and start the next stage of human civilization. :)

"Metro and WinRT may be at the heart of Windows 8 on the desktop, but they're purely adjuncts on the server. The charms and contracts are there, along with the Start Screen, but you're hardly likely to see them as you can manage much of a s

I think it's an extremely smart strategy from Samsung to avoid putting all their eggs in one basket. Outside the USA, Apple's market share is not as important, as it is inside. And if you think about it, it's incredible hard to market a bra
