It's like people touting the first EV back in the 80's or whatever. Well those EV's sucked and would have never caught on anyway so they were pointless.
I have an iPad Pro (the smaller one). After spending some time with it, it actually seems to me like a copy of the iPad sold by Apple. Like crazy copy. Probably gonna get sued.
Is Apple going to sue itself???
Make no mistake MS certainly see's potential in technology and does a good job taking first stab at it, they just try way too early. I still remember the first time I used Windows Mobile, I immediately thought "this is horrible, I hate this, I never want to use this again" and each version thereafter was of little improvement. It put such a bad taste in my mouth I just flat out ignored anything miniature with a Windows tag on it. This is bad for business. If you're gonna be first to market with something it better damn well be at least decent. Apple did a good job not jumping the gun and listening to feedback to figure out what kind of interface users would want.Both companies have been evolving the concept, but honestly, Microsoft has been working the longest at it and the one constantly trying to upgrade options according to customer feedback.

That is a security setting not accidental.. passcode is required if you dont use your finger within 24hrs or restart the device...
Buzz. Sorry, that's not the issue. It happens within hours of my previous use. Sometimes it's overnight, but often it's in the middle of the day and it's rare that I go 12 hours without using the device.That is a security setting not accidental.. passcode is required if you dont use your finger within 24hrs or restart the device...
Was the Newton significantly larger than I recall? If not, then I'd call it an early PDA, not a tablet.10? Try 20.
You clearly forgot about the Tablet PC in 2001! You also forgot about Newton tablet of 1993!
Are you actually saying you go months without patching? If not, then you were unaffected because the bug was patched (or lucky), because AFAICT, the attack has nothing to do with opening a file.Actually I wasnt affected because Im not a retard opening files of unknown origin and its a work PC so I couldnt give 2 shits either way. All was well at home with my iPads and macs though *shockhorror*
Unless the last time you patched was prior to 3/14, you weren't vulnerable to the attack. That's the entire point. Wannacry mostly compromised Windows 7 machines, even though the exploit was patched 2 months earlier.No problem here, even though I support a mix of mostly Windows 7 & 10.
No infected system at home, none at any family members, and none at work.

As for your safe Mac, nobody bothers attacking them because successfully attacking 1% of Windows users is a greater success than 100% of Macs. I suspect iPads/phones are somewhat safer because they're walled gardens, but I wouldn't be shocked if the NSA has zero day exploits for them.
But Steve Jobs knew how to run a cult.That would be topical if I hadn't been using a hand size tablet PC running Windows 95 with a pen back in 1997...

And it can be turned off.
And my s7 does the same thing.
This exec's comment is stupid - but the surface is my dream tablet. And I'm posting from an iPad right now. The horror.
This brand dick wagging and stream crossing needs to fucking end. It makes the entire tech community look - and act - like a pack of unwashed baboons throwing feces around over literally nothing.
This is what I'm talking about. Ready for it? Are there any mobile OS's today that look and function anything like Windows 95? The simple truth is a desktop interface on a mobile device is terrible. It's not that the market wasnt ready for it, it was simply a terrible way to use a small handheld device. Start menus, postage stamp sized screen, stylus, resistive touch screen, menu bars, close/minimize/maximize buttons, terrible performance. The whole thing just sucked and was terribly inefficient to use, hence the reason why it died and everything uses huge touchscreen buttons now. When the first iphone was released it really demonstrated how you could achieve complex interactions with nothing but your thumb and actually have a rewarding experience with a mobile OS. I'm not sure Apple owe's that to Microsoft, nor am I sure Microsoft would have got there on their own.My first "Windows Mobile" experience was full fledged Windows 95 with a stylus on a small hand held computer in 1997. I could pretty much run everything on it. The stylus worked well, although back then there weren't many integrated stylus controls for base Win95. It was primarily used like a mouse and then you could write in WordPad with it, that was more or less it. But it still functioned like a full computer otherwise. So I don't think it is necessarily just the first stab or the their integration, it is the fact that the market was not yet ready for it.

Windows was a desktop OS and Microsoft could not come up with a single way to simplify this for a mobile device, they literally just shrunk the desktop real estate of windows and slapped it on lousy hardware that was laggy and unresponsive and said "here ya go!". Apple knew this would never fly and made sure that any software designed for a handheld device was actually designed for it, rather than "making it work" like Microsoft's approach. They also knew basic user experience and polish was very important and having shitty graphics and UI elements would turn users off to the experience. That a mobile OS would require an entire theme built around it through the use of shiny icons with rounded corners and stuff like that. It's important and it explains Apple's success coming to market with this.
I've used all the devices you have used and all I can say is to each their own. I'll certainly give credit to BB for recognizing the faults in mobile OS's and doing something about it. Their solution was appropriate at the time. I still stand firmly behind the statement that WinMo performed poorly on any mobile device. Maybe you just didnt care or something but I find it hard to believe you didnt observe any performance related issues. Plus the whole experience left something to be desired, as there was rarely any value to using Winmo when you could probably just tote a laptop along to do the same thing better, an argument you cant necessarily make today.
The Gen1 iphone might not have been useful due to a shortage of productivity apps, but the moment I saw the first screenshot of the desktop I knew this thing was gonna kill, and I dont watch Apple expo's or listen to Steve keynotes or anything at all. I literally saw a single shot of the iphone desktop and was like "ahhh, thats what we've been missing".
