Are They calling it Oakland Community Police?

Does RoboCop work for them?

It's just a newer more advanced Turbo Touch 360.

Probably sucks like one too.

As a Happy OG Surface Pro owner, I'm probably going to hold off for awhile, although the battery cover and dock have me intrigued...

As for the ARM Surface it needs to either get open or die. Allow devs to make desktop apps compatible with Windows RT, and allow Domain Joining and you might have a compelling Cheap ARM Tablet to Compete against iPad and Android. Right now thought, The RT tablet should be Branded "Microsoft Fail" and let the Surface name go to the serious Surface Tablet.

What they need to do is Fire Sale the Existing Surface Tablets. It would get Surfaces into the hands of consumers and developers as well as clear off the old stagnating inventory off their books.

It didn't do well for HP, primarily because it was blatantly obvious they wanted nothing to do with WebOS. Since MS has shown no signs of dropping RT It might succeed where HP and Sales Failed.

The Other problem is that Ti is even getting away from on calc programming. The Ti-nspire has very basic function programming, and to do higher level LUA scripts you need a computer.

They also need to quit focusing on the 83 for a bit and start focusing on the Ti-89. It has a powerful language out of the box and can do so much more than the 83's.
At least make a Color 89 with a higher resolution screen.

Dell and HP also sells systems with Win7 preinstalled and is not doing as well, but they have to be ordered as such. With Lenovo they always ship you Win8 media and the system has Win7 which is nice unless the customer really wanted Win8, then its a pain.

However, Lenovo quality has gone way south as of late, and this is coming from someone who has sworn by Lenovo since back in the IBM Days. Out of the 6 Lenovo systems we bought over the last 6 months, Two have already had motherboard replacements and the other four have had other issues ranging from WiFi Card Replacements to wierd random crashes for no reason to even one Windows update (KB2647753) causing all windows updates on most Lenovo systems to revert unless you install all of the other updates first.(something that doesn't happen on any other OEM I've had in here or with Straight Windows 7).

Didn't realize the movie came out this weekend and finally read the wiki article so yeah I'm wrong, but the theme is still there. BTW Spoilers, I guess.

Although "Matt Damon turning everyone into Elysium "citizens" and sending space pods to heal people" is a lot different plot that what I imagined, it's the same "everyone is now equal" plot that "In Time" did.

In fact it's actually closer to "In Time's "Justin Timberlake robs time banks and gives out time Robin Hood Style to the point that short timers are now crossing social lines" Plot Ending now that I think about it.

I'm going for Slashvertisement at this point.

Two Posts about a movie that basically In Time but in space is fishy to me.

I haven't seen this movie at all, But I can all but guarantee that the ending is going to be the Space station crashes onto earth and the rich survivors now have to live their lives just like everyone else.

Unless you like showing everyone how 1337 your Single Player gaming skills are, most likely you're going to have an Xbox Gold Account anyway.

As for the other things tied to Xbox live, if all you want to do is watch Netflix on your Xbox, your better off getting yourself a Google TV and sit on the $400 you saved by buying it, or even a Chromecast and use the $65 to buy some movies to stream.

yes a keylogger can collect this data, but that takes time and patience to wait for someone to type in those details. This makes it so easy, i could walk a 8 year old child through giving all of your passwords over the phone.

Hell. been playing with some other autofill settings and found that it does the same thing with credit card numbers if you store them in autofill. Passwords are one thing but If I can get your Expiry and CC info if you typed it in and saved it with chrome and I only need a few seconds of your PC time without any external programs or copying, that's a design flaw. Period.

When part of my job everyday is cleaning up some mess that some "MS Support Tech" Scammer did to some old lady's PC, and Now these guys just by glancing into Chrome or Firefox or IE to "check for extraneous viruses" can get passwords and Credit card details just by taking a screenshot, there's no justification.

Only if you request chrome to do so, and then specifically tell it to sync your passwords,

If you log into Chrome it asks you to sync everything by default. Most people will choose the default. Passwords by default are checked.

And then specifically tell it to save your passwords. And if you do, it offers to let you use an encryption password for your chrome sync.

Yes it asks if you want to save a password in the password list. You should answer no to this, but keep in mind that people will say yes not knowing the risks associated with the choice.

As for the encryption password. It asks you when you first setup chrome, but again by default it uses your Google Password for the Encrytion Key. Grandma will not type in a different password if it doesn't force her to, and if it does, most likely she'll forget it and have to wipe all of her settings and bookmarks when you have to Reinstall Chrome.

Ideally, the option to show passwords should not exist. If I have a problem with a Password I should just simply delete it and go though the site procedures to recover my password. Having an easy to read password store that's cloud accessible is asking for trouble.

I believe "google account auth + secondary encryption key" counts as two factors.

I'm specifically talking about 2 Step Verification. Two factor comes into play when it comes to storing your Chrome User data using the secondary encryption key, Which also isn't a bad thing to do.

Chrome stores everything in the cloud if you're logged into Google. That's what makes this even more dangerous than it's being reported.

If Chrome is signed into your Google account, and some malicious user gets hold of your Google username and password, then they can retrieve all of your stored passwords simply by installing chrome and logging in. That includes any password on your phone, other systems or otherwise.

This is why two step authentication, clearing out all stored password, and disabling password storing in sync settings are your friends.

The rich commit suicide by giving all of their time to some poor guy, Which causes the police force to chase the poor guy to the point where he and his girlfriend take the enitre system down and disrupt the status que...

Oops wrong movie, But then again, "Elysium" is "In Time" in space so just replace "Embedded watch in arm that kills you when time runs out" with "Space Station that keeps you alive forever" and the above still applies.

The main draw for me to my Surface Pro was the power. I was using a Lenovo S10e for most of my work tasks and while it worked ok, it didn't have enough power to do heavy lifting tasks like Virtual Machines or PC games well. As a subnotebook replacement, the Surface Pro is one of the best if not the best option out there. As a tablet, not so much.

That being said, my Nexus 7 is a much better tablet. If I want to browse the web or check email, the N7 is much better than the SP for that. For occasional tablet use the SP isn't bad but the SP's weight vs the N7 is very noticeable. Battery Life vs the SP is no contest either. The N7 destroys both Surface systems there, But I'm not going to be playing TF2 or running My DEV VM on my N7 anytime soon.

The biggest problem that Microsoft faces when it comes to the Surface is the RT models. They seriously need to revamp RT to be DEV Friendly or EOL it right now. If MS focused strictly on the Surface Pro's from the beginning instead of doing the typical Balmeresque halfassing strategy they've done with just about everything coming out of Redmond the last two years by trying to compete against IPad like just about every failed tablet manufacturer out there then maybe they wouldn't be sitting on a crap ton of money wasting in a warehouse.
