Comment Re:I have a Surface Pro (Score 1) 294

Exactly, thus my comment "a bit overpriced", although it is a really NICE netbook, it's not worth $1000 to me. For $600 or so including the KB thing, I would have considered it, for $1000 I would add a few hundred and then get the Lenovo 13" ultrabook/tablet thing or something similar. It's nice to use, small, has great battery life and so on. As a bonus when I'm travelling I can fold back (or famously snap off) the cover/KB and browse my email or whatever while awaiting my breakfast. I can enter my scuba dive log info while awaiting my beer. Or whatever. It IS a damn nice device but it's absolutely not a good value for the price they want to charge for it. For "free", I love it though ;)

Comment I have a Surface Pro (Score 3, Funny) 294

Microsoft "gave" me a Surface Pro a while back and it's actually a decent device, I use it a lot as a replacement for my old netbook, but it's not really a tablet so much as a new netbook with touch. The RT ... I am amazed anyone thought anything about that was a good idea. As far as I can see the RT is completely full of fail whereas the Pro is merely a bit overpriced.

Think of someone taking two steps west and two steps north. If you WATCH them, you can count four steps. If you don't watch them, you count sqrt(8) steps.

Nope, no sale. If I come up with 4 as an answer, you can't know if it was 5-1, 2+2, 3+1, 3.5+0.5, or what, that gave that result, but the fact that 2+2 is 4 has in no way been altered by the addition not being observed.
