Comment: Ipod Touch Killer (Score 1) 291

Given Apple's recent lackluster announcement, I have a feeling this device will cannibalize Ipad and Ipod touch sales. The only thing the touch has going for it, is the portability. However is that worth the expense? Ordered mine day one. It has 85% of the functionality of the Ipad at 40% of the cost. Its a trade off I am happy to live with

I continue to use Windows 8 on a Netbook that I have. I do this so microsoft can gain the usage statistics that, instead of bowing to the Metro Design, I just found a way to work around it. When I log in I immediately hit -D. takes me to the desktop, and then I created a shortcut that takes me to folder where the start menu icons are still located. I have effectively trained myself to never use the start menu for anything and to basically acomplish everything with shortcuts. In fact when shuting down the computer I simply hit -I and a side bar scrolls from the right and there is an option to shut the computer down. I never use the start menu and it is horrible for installing legacy applications. I just dock icons and use desktop shortcuts. If more people do the same, I would think microsoft will get the measurements through the usage statistics that people dont like it and therefore its usage will plummet further.

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that works.
