I'm impressed with the surface line of tablets, through just five iterations they managed to make a product that's not awful, unlike their phones.

they did manage high dpi displays though, and afaik the scaling in windows is still wonky as heck

looking forward to whatever statistical gymnastics the xbox division is going to perform when the xbonex comes out to make it look successful

maybe they'll actually do what everyone accuses nintendo and apple of doing and restrict supply to make it harder to get [this would also be good for their numbers since the more hardware they sell the more money they lose]

Research confirms that black is a color like silver is a color, and that beyond black is clarity.
I was at the Microsoft building in Malvern, PA a few weeks ago and they've got that goofy MS Halo setup in the lobby.

I walked up to it and based on the facial recognition thing it does I'm apparently 70 years old.

Thanks MS.

"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."
