I know a dead parrot when I see one and I'm looking at one right now.

It's amazing that it didn't hit the earth, yet the shock wave blasted out windows and damaged buildings, people were injured. Imagine if one of these actually hit a built up area ... Our ex-prime minister didn't put in money, around 1 mil a year, to help the international community to monitor meteorites because 'it will never happen'. It's only a matter of time ...
Don't make them like that any more ...

No surprise really ... It's more important to have good sales on the tablet market.

Ok ... I'll give my unqualified opinion why the 'metro' UI has no purpose on my computers, not Win8 in general ... because it's just an OS which does what an OS should do and does it well, which what Win7 does and, as Anthony R had said, why bother to upgrade ... For me a 'desktop' on a computer has one use, that is to move data around visually in the form of icons. This is my workplace ... uncompleted projects files lay around my desktop, when they are done a
[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="3" id="3315595"]Computing isn't the center of most humans' lives, except at work and even then, the computer and its OS are meant to enable more service and profitability.[/quote] You could blame Apple for that, devices and apps are now fashionable. I still use my computers as tools, why be forced to have 'features' I'll never use...

Can't believe you guys have had free services with credit cards, as starkers had said, we have paid a service fee for some time now. With the large US banks buying up the smaller ones they probably think there is less competition, time to raise the profits ... [e digicons]:S[/e]
Did read that Ubuntu Mobile OS will allow you to dock the phone and use it for a tablet/computer ... as phones get more powerful, why not. We will get to the point where all your computing needs will be in your pocket, it's only a matter of time.

And that scenario exist for a lot of people. None of this is as simple as some think it is.[/quote] and I think most Americans want the opportunity to defend themselves with a gun.
