loving laptop keyboards with numpads are such a mistake. I don't care what size it is. If you have to take the spacebar and trackpad and put them off center, you have made a serious error.

quote:With a simple "yes," Microsoft's Xbox chief, Phil Spencer, has confirmed that Minecraft will be heading to Windows Phone. It's not a surprising move given Microsoft's recent acquisition of the popular title, but the software maker didn't promise to bring Minecraft to Windows Phone in its original announcement. Spencer's confirmation means Microsoft will likely be working on porting the game across once the deal is finalized, and it may even arrive for Surface RT and Windows RT users. lol ms paid 2.5bn united states dollars so they could have a windows phone version of minecraft

theadder posted:someone delineate the cleartypes for me the old cleartype sub-pixel font rendering basically gave you retina quality font smoothing in windows xp and was great 10 years ago. it worked bc each r,g, and b on lcds are subpixels of 1/3 width stacked horizontally so long thin poo poo like fonts can be smoothed effectively, but it only works in one screen orientation so it's worthless for tablets the sarnsung amoled screens work like that but in a weird pentile layout for both orientations and they just claim the higher effective resolution as native
