the best part is that these things are hilariously unreliable

you could count on losing your files every 3 to 6 months

thats if you keep it in the drive and dont remove it or move it around

if you throw it in your backpack and carry it with you (which was how jobs envisioned it would be used) make it 3 to 6 weeks

msie for Solaris & OS X were actually quite nice when released, but much like Google they never updated them.

Joe 30330: Dec 20, 2007; "We have this notion that if you're poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."

As the audience reluctantly began to applaud during the silence, Biden tried to fix his remarks.

"Wealthy kids, black kids, Asian kids -- no, I really mean it." Biden said.

Windows 10 announcement starts in an hour. Are you pumped for all of the windowy goodness to wash over you?

quote:

a few months since Microsoft officially unveiled some of the features we can expect in Windows 10 to the world, but the software giant is now ready to talk specifics. On Wednesday, Microsoft is holding a special Windows 10 event at its company�s headquarters in Redmond, Washington. While we got an early look at the Windows 10 user interface in late September, Wednesday�s event will be a chance for the company to detail how Windows 10 will run across PCs, phones, tablets, and even its Xbox One gaming console.
