Yes they update the graphics a bit here and there each time. However there is still so much legacy code in the game that can't keep track of it's just out of control. There's a reason they can't make the backpack have more slots for example, because it's hard-coded in so many places they've...
I'd consider them unsafe anyway if you're really that worried. I work for a company that recovers data on a large scale, and it's pretty rare we can't crack a truecrypt volume (and we don't have the NSA's budget lol).
No encryption is "unhackable", it'll just slow down someone with the means...
I can confirm that the daisy-chaining in fact does NOT work with the Surface Pro 2. I just spent over an hour messing with it and it was a no-go. Near as I can tell, the 1st monitor just never sees it even being plugged in. In fact an hdmi-usb dongle will work as a 2nd monitor, but it's a bit...
I actually bought a couple of these Dell's yesterday for my rMBP. They're gorgeous thus far. Since my mac has 2 t-bolt ports I didn't daisy chain them. However I started thinking about trying to attach both to my surface pro 2 this morning (and ironically just stumbled into this thread).
I'll...
Not keeping my Credit/Debit Card information would be a good start. There's no reason they need to perpetually store that in a database. (Target red card notwithstanding, but that can probably be argued as well)
Working for one of these companies, security is a f'in joke to put it mildly. I've ranted to management about how inadequate it is, but it wasn't "cost effective" to correct it.:rolleyes:
I wonder if it is now?
Sadly I think the majority of companies think this way.
Yea that's Apple that says that lol.
if people don't like it, just don't use it simple as that. I don't mind metro on a touch screen. But my desktops are Win7/Linux/OSX (yea I have a few), and in my opinion metro just doesn't belong on there for me (yet).
People get way too worked up over...
Sadly that's pretty much how it's been run since Gates left.
This overall looks like a good move for them, but like most think, with Ballmer still in charge it may not matter much.
Linux.
Seriously (sorta). One of the reasons MS got so big is because windows was so readily available to people in the IT industry to learn/use. Even with the "abuse" people were still learning/using it, and when it comes time to buy something in the enterprise, the IT folks will want what...
At least it's finally something more than a bunch of millennial's dancing and clicking keyboards in.
"Oh look, you can actually do something with it...";)
I read somewhere (can't remember if it was here or elsewhere) that Windows "Blue" will be out this summer. Not sure if that's 9 or 8.1 or what, but it's apparently coming.
I think the point they're trying to make is they shouldn't have too. Yea people on this forum generally can (and likely will), but why should we have to when we pay that much for a device?:rolleyes:
"thinking"? Have you seen Windows 8? ;)
If they want the corporate world to use these at all, they need to add things like Outlook, reliable VPN clients etc..
I work in a 99% MS shop, but the vast majority of employees with tablets all have iPad's on the corp network.
Java isn't the problem (at least in this article). Oracle buying up Sun and pulling this kind of crap is the issue. I don't recall Sun ever doing this when it was running things. (could be wrong though)
You mean the millions they've spent advertising all those young people dancing around and clicking the keyboard covers don't show them the differences?:D
I thought RT was actually a good idea. However it's so poorly marketed yea Jane Consumer will never know what hit her. That and the fact...
Read the Windows EULA, you don't own it as it is.
As for being scared, ehh not really. Only thing left at home that's windows is my gaming machine. And since I play games less and less, this isn't even a thought anymore. It's not like people "have" to upgrade anyway. I generally don't until...
They actually state in that report that the majority purchasers were OEMs/Retail outlets and does not reflect consumer purchases.
Might want to "read" the article. ;)
I don't remember showing my ID when I purchased it a couple weeks ago. For the return they never asked to see the card I put it on when I purchased it. They took the receipt and scanned it (barcode or something on it), and swiped my DL which gave them all the information on it.
I just...
I returned my Asus Vivotab RT over the weekend, and Best Buy wouldn't do it without a valid driver's license either. That's the first time I noticed that with them, although I don't go there much either.
The reboots and apps opening are slightly quicker. The xbox music deal I can't tell as I can't get mine to play music anymore. It also still can't remember a wireless network that's not broadcasting it's SSID.
I even did a factory reset and reapplied the patches, same issues remain.
I...
Yep, and yea it was a great deal. That's what made me decide to buy it and try it out. I think I played with it for a good 40 minutes in the store. I'm still on the fence with windows 8/RT.:(
I picked up a Vivo tab almost a week ago for $499 from Best Buy, and they bundled the keyboard dock with it. They had it listed as $599 but I got them to price match microcenter. I just looked and Microcenter is still listing them for $499 (add to your shopping cart to see it). Seems every best...
