300$ fee if you drive in 3 feet of snow!!! GEEE! Hope these guys never go up north.

I remember the first time I travel in the USA with my children, they have around 8-10 years old. We were in a restaurants, I order some beer for myself. A unknow local beer, and my children want to taste it like they do here, I give them the glass... then the waiter tell us that it's completly illegal and we can be arrested for doing that. I think to myself, what a real land of the free where you government tell you how to raise your children. No wonder why alcohol crime are so high down there.

I have a Asus G75vx it's a i7 16gb bluray-burner buy mine in december 2013 for less than 1500$ I just upgraded the HDD to 1tb-ssd and 2tb-spinning.
It have very BIG air vent in the back like 12% of the laptop size are vent.
I use it for gaming and compiling, never run over 50-60C.

The support from Asus is a very great.

I have a good number of watches.

My preferred are the Casio Tough-Solar (I have 5 of them) and Citizen Eco-Drive (2 of them) like the name suggest I never change the batteries of theses.

I also have some Samsung Gears watches, the original watch (v700) on a normal use (ie I don't spend the day playing with 2048 or taking picture with it) can stand 4 days without problem (around 15 to 20% of battery use by day).

For me, the Apple iWatch is like other iProduct from this company: bad technology, bad design, bad software good marketing; remind me the old Microsoft.

Comment Windows 8 touch interface (Score 2) 337

I'm writing this on a windows 8.1 tablet (HP) and I'm also a user of Android Tablet, Ipad, and some others phones/touch interface.

A lot of people in this site and others sites point that windows 8(.1) are too much touch oriented to be good on a desktop, in fact, windows 8(.1) is also not ready to be used on a touch interface. Touch interface is not only a thing about how too choose the app you want to use, but also how to use, write, select, draw, etc. without a mouse and a keyboard, and on these points, none of the windows 8(.1) software are efficace here, they are 10 years late on any others interface, including the old windows CE/mobile interface that I had use for more than 5 years.
