(i've noticed just how much my first instinct now is to hit cmd+space if i want something. a lot of people deride spotlight, and i agree it's not what it could be, but as a first release, it's impressive how much it's changed my workflow for the better) And the Surface is little more than a...

i'm not sure who he spoke to... i thought the general concesus was that Windows iTunes was an overly ram-hungry bloated piece of software, non-compliant with Window's Interface Guidelines, that also installed various other bits of software and ghosts around the system (Quicktime, iTunes Helper...

i'd go for a larger capacity, slower disk. faster spinning disks are becoming mythical, in that they don't really offer that much speed difference (a 4200rpm 200gb sometimes even beating a faster smaller drive, due to the needle having to move less over higher capacity platters), yet use more...

yup. is small, charges the iPod, syncs with iTunes, have Remote control support, and has digital line out built in for stereos, and video out for tv's. perfect.

new 15" mbp have another 30-45 mins battery life, between LED backlighting and Santa Rosa

ha ha i get more than that on my 6 year old ibook... :P in all fairness it struggles with even the smallest videos...

i'm willing to give microsoft a chance. this is good. they're moving into new directions. innovative directions. ignore their bloated windows and office malarkies, that's just their obligation...

massive 16pt spelling error on the main page doesn't really look very good now does it...

LCD's may use traces of mercury, but apple is starting to transition to mercury-free lcd by the end of 2008. CRT's on the other hand, have a whacking great lump of lead in them! CRT's are hateful to the environment. CRT's also fade, and blur over time, and a 4 year old CRT can be nearly...

that's utter rubbish. although i'm an apple zealot... i have to disagree with a lot of those points. Microsoft appear to have been working on this for the past 6 years, which is, according to Han, a similar timescale to his work on multitouch interfaces. multitouch has not been around for...

i've got 2x20". couldn't go back to one screen now, not even 1x30" i don't reckon.

i've got a delete key... and a backspace.... and they tried to get games back to the mac many times, but there was never the market for it.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6703249.stm http://www.microsoft.com/surface/ it's really impressive... they've not gone down the creative design route, but what they have done is thought quite heavily outside the box in terms of business useage... it's all a bit jeff han, but it's still...

one thing to take into note though, is that doug englebart considered many ways of interating eith elements on screen, including the most obvious touch screen. the mouse won.

i'd be inclined to agree, but i have to wonder, is it impossible for a flat keyboard to be useless to type on? i certainly prefer a laptop keyboard to a desktop for typing long documents on, so what if the next progression was actually flat? just because current touch screens with their...

dvi looks like this: \ ::::::::: + / vga looks more like this \ ::::: /

no, i really want to disagree. i'd like a near-generation of cinema screens to have the multitouch layer, and an ability to have them down on the table at a similar angle to a draughting board. change the way the desk is layed out. consign keyboards and mice back to where they came.my desk...
