Submission + - Dell's Unexpected Next Act: Stylish, High-Quality Tablets And PCs

jfruh writes: If Dell has a reputation in the PC market, it's as the company that got low-end PCs to customers cheaply. But after the great drama of founder Michael Dell taking the company private, the company is following a new path, adding higher-quality (and more expensive) products like the Venue 8 7000, the thinnest tablet on the market today, to its lineup.

I think nighttime is a useful coding time not only because no one else is around, but because I can turn down the lights and focus on the code. It's unfortunate that all devs don't have an office with which they can dim the lights and just focus. And a coffee machine.

To clarify, the TFV WASN'T the vehicle that killed him. The TFV featured a 300mm (Motor to motor. The propellers are much smaller, probably around 8 inches) multirotor that wouldn't do much more than a bad scratch if it hit you. The helicopter involved is a 600mm blade span traditional helicopter. The TFV is an inacuraccy of sloppy reporting by someone who doesn't know the difference. It's safe to assume that with the style of flying Roman was doing, he didn't have a camera on board, nor would the footage be on YouTube yet.
