    The only difference is that they insist that things will be added but you insist they won't.

    So the past three years of Apple's actual actions haven't proven to you that they're not going to make a touchscreen OS X device? :no:

    Rule of thumb with this sort of post: you have to actually be on the right side of the argument for it to be effective.

    I really like the idea of a tablet that runs windows and android - now I can keep all my malware on the one device.

    Not every product in the world needs to sell in the hundreds of millions.   Heck, look at Apple TV.  It's been just a "hobby" for years.


     


     


    The better commercial for that feature was the Dad changing a diaper for the first time, while watching an instructional video he found.   He'd look at a step, then do it (while the video automatically paused), then look back at the video which triggered the next step, and so forth.


     


     


    It doesn't videotape you.  It just constantly watches for your face.  Apple has filed for similar patents, for similar purposes.



     


    I do see some good use of EyeFi products and other wireless technology for photographer.  What I questioned is bundling an semi-pro SLR camera with an Android Phone, I'm sure most professional photographer will avoid those kinds of gadgets at all cost, for everybody else there is many more cheaper and subsidized alternative.

    I can't stand PowerPoint for still using print units over pixel perfect units when nobody print their slides on acetate anymore, everything looks blurry on screen.

    Indeed, these hand-outs are pretty crappy. In my experience, and I've seen my share of PP presentations, the slides beamed, sometimes even just on a wall, look awful as well. The person creating the PP never seem to test it on the big screen themselves.

    I had to do a presentation myself one time, couldn't take in a MacBook, so used a Wintel, and mainly expressed myself with pictures, hardly any words. And when I did add some text, I made it so large people all the way in the back of the room could read it. And I made a statement to boot.

    According to Guy "Evangelist" Kawasaki the rule of thumb for fonts size in a PowerPoint presentation is: the oldest person in your audience divide it by two:

    Too funny! And sad, because I couldn't agree more.

    Thanks!
