Apr 11, 2012 - If you are shopping for specs alone, then yes, you could say Apple is over priced, but that is one side to the coin and to look at it that way would be incredibly short sighted. You need to factor in the crazy fast, user friendly OS, the incredibly sleek design, the lack of need for virus protection, defragmenting, etc, the quality software apple releases WITH the computer, the stability and reliability of the computer, etc. You get a lot and are paying for much more than specs.
Apr 11, 2012 - There's so much wrong with your comment - I really don't know where to start. Microsoft doesn't make machines like Apple. Apple products are overpriced when you compare hardware to industry average/standard.
The table isn't 'completely useless' - listing the ways in which you think it is useless does not make it fact.
I could add many, many more ways in which you are wrong but I feel I have made my point.
Jan 11, 2012 - no, I meant responsibilities. If you had to take care of yourself or a family at all you would realize how astronomical $4000 is.
The only apple computer that starts at $2200 is the 17 inch pro laptop - only for serious consumers. That table is completely useless. It does not serve any productive function and is not practical. Not for entertainment, not for work, not for anything. Any price for an apple product is vastly better than throwing money away to crappy, broken M$ machines
Jan 11, 2012 - Oh, of course. You're very mature. Too mature for me in fact.
"lol" [/endquote]
The 15" 2.5GHz Macbook pro is VERY popular with working Americans. It STARTS at $2200.
$4000 for a 50 point reflection-based multitouch table computer more than 4x its size with a 2.9GHz core is 50% off milk and honey compared to what many Americans pay for their shiny brushed aluminum Apple computers.
By the way, I do believe you meant "capacity", not "responsibilities".
Jan 11, 2012 - lol, you would waste $4000 on a piece of shit computer. thats hilarious. actually, I am an upper middle class citizen, and I would not waste that much money. and by no means is that actually affordable in any case. The pure stupidity behind that statement is just incredible. Ask anyone besides a loser like you if thats affordable - its not.
I don't need to explain this though. You obviously do not have the responsibilities necessary to bring to any kind of maturity level. bye fool
Jan 11, 2012 - Oh, and by the way.
If a poor-ass college student can afford a $4000 gaming rig to play Minecraft, a middle-class family can afford a $4000 TABLE computer.
Jan 11, 2012 - No, not using a mouse on a bathroom mirror, dolt.
Try more like, on a MS Surface screen, or a light-table/drafting desk, or a gloss-finished table top. Herp derp.
This is 100% practical, which is why you don't like it. There is no 'fun pizazz' to wow you like the sheeperson you are.
**BTW, 'Consumer' does not mean 'bitchy middle-class American'.
Consumer means ANYBODY who buys something. EG: CONSUMER Electronics Show.
Jan 11, 2012 - It's funny how everything you say is utter, biased hate.
Actually, they are creating technologies. Yes, these technologies are currently being applied in useless devices, but what really matters is what said technology can do, not what it's currently doing.
Jan 11, 2012 - New technology is good technology. It doesn't matter if it's relevant to your life right now. Go look up how many inventions you use today that came about due to problem solving from the space program, despite you never going to the moon.
Surface 2.0 isn't developed with home use in mind. It's sold to pubs, shops, galleries etc with specialised software in mind. But one day it WILL be affordable tech for us, and that is what matters.
Jan 11, 2012 - Yes, thats so relevant because im going to be using a mouse on a mirror? OHHH WOW I CAN USE MY MOUSE AGAINST MY BATHROOM WALL NOW. just super.
That smart board they are showing? Its been around for years, and will never be able to be purchased by any regular consumer.
All of this is an exercise in pointless money throwing. Its not practical, its not affordable, its cool, but its 100% completely and utterly USELESS. Just like M$ has become.
Way to go out with a whisper from CES
Jan 10, 2012 - Obviously, your pinhead of nadir nerve bundle that can hardly be called a brain cannot see the technology at work here.
Realtime 3D environment mapping. AT HOME. Pixels that not only put out light, but can ACCURATELY pick it up. Improved BluTrack mouse technology that can track on MIRRORS and SCREENS.
CES means "Consumer Electronics Show", not "Lets give out free XBOX Gold and an 'XBOX 720' to every fucking 12 year old cunt who complains about it show".
Way to stay irrelevant.
Jan 10, 2012 - Why don't you make a video about how much your press conference sucked? How about a video dedicated to how much fans hate you for this ridiculous kinect sesame street bullshit?
Way to stay irrelevant M$
Jan 10, 2012 - Good to hear you're looking forward to having balls dropped on you Rob.
