Apparently, for MS Windwoes users, it auto-morphs such that the entire lower left quadrant of the screen has a massive CTRL "touchkey", the lower right quadrant is filled with an ALT "touchkey" and the entire top half with a DELETE "touchkey". Supposedly, those are the only three keys you need under Windows to achieve 90% of the productivity with it that you enjoy today on your desktop ...

Comment Simple... (Score 1) 236

The Tech crunch article says this " why someone would want to work at Microsoft when there are so many more exciting companies out there, like, say Apple." The answer is simple. Apple are crap to work for. There is a REASON why Apple have never appeared on the Fortune top 100 places to work and Microsoft has for the last few years (since at LEAST 2006) Granted they arent up there, but they ARE there.... Remember Apple is the place that will lead you to suicide if you even slightly make a fuck up too... :)

Comment Re:Asperger's (Score 0) 268

"Genuine Asperger's is a form of autism and deeply impacts your life." False... Aspergers is going through reclassification right now, and is probably not even going to be classed as a disability or Autism anymore, as it is SO different from the other spectrum's of Autism. It is being argued that it can be viewed as a different cognitive style, and not a disorder or a disability, Aspies just think differently, Their brain works differently, they can have "odd" traits, but nothing that deeply impacts your life. To Quote Wikipedia : "It has been argued that the genes for Asperger's combination of abilities have operated throughout recent human evolution and have made remarkable contributions to human history."

I agree, The pricing should be more like a Netflix account, because in reality you are not owning the games you are renting them, via a streaming service... $39,99 for a (potential) three year licence for Assassins Creed 2 or buy the original game for $39.98 from Fry's.com that doesn't have a lesser resolution (AND the ability to change the detail level), latency issues, etc etc etc... Really which one would YOU take?? DRM aside I know which one I would rather have.... The pricing is all wrong, and that my friends is what will totally doom this to failure (although I will admit it has a very cool front end and watching other people play live is fun). I got a free account just to see how this thing worked, and really in my opinion its pretty impressive what it does. For PC's that are say 5 years old with crap hardware, they could run Just Cause 2 with everything cranked, without DirectX11 and Nvidia card and have all the features that game has with that hardware (CUDA Effects, Brokeh Filter, etc). Its GREAT for that I guess, but if that was the case then you are not a hardcore PC gamer, and this service does NOTHING for the avid PC Gamer at all...
