speaking of office for Mac, where the hell is office 2014 for Mac?

all I want is a version of lync that has things like "tabbed windows" and "nick completion" and "can stay running for an hour straight without crashing"

probably some bullshit in-fighting from the windows department that thinks "if we make office for mac poo poo then we can sell more os licenses!"

having said that, ipad gets mobile office apps, and windows tablets get office 2013 with slightly further spaced out buttons. maybe its giving msft too much credit to imply they are doing anything on purpose or to a plan.

I want to like omni apps but the price tag that they pick for them, combined with having to buy the ios versions separately and then having to buy upgrades can gently caress off.

surface 3 is such poo poo, manages to be worse than surface 2 in practically every way

screen is garbage, they got rid of glass to make it lighter or something with the result that when you press on it with the pressure sensitive pen, the colours get all distorted

fan runs all the loving time compared to the surface 2

3d definitely feels worse, maybe some power saving thing? maybe it expects me to manually janitor video settings every time I want to do something in 3d?

they changed pen suppliers from wacom (knows what they're doing) to random china company no one's heard of (doesn't), feels exactly like going from a mac trackpad to a windows trackpad - in theory everything works the same but feels like poo poo

amazing

yeah if you knocked the table the image would wobble because it was projected. the image would slightly wobble all the time anyway just because projectors aren't that precise and all it would take was a slightly off balance fan.
