So my roommate and I took his sisters' cats in for a few days, and on her way out I read the thread title about whether or not a guy would date a woman if she wasn't shaved down below...And I could tell she wasn't thinking and said "But I'm shaved down there..." And her BF was with her...
I got more information than what I needed to know there, it was an awkward moment, then a lot of laughing.
My roommate wasn't in the room and didn't hear it.
Yeah my laptops are 9 pounds because they are desktop replacements. Not lightweight NetBooks. I would not buy an under powered PC because it would do me no good. But anyway I think the point with me that you are missing is that I only use my tablets for travel. I don't need the full functionality of a laptop when I am on a plane, or moving from point A to B. I'm not going to sit down on my tablet (or a laptop) and spend hours and hours building software. I have full powered desktop PCs with 3 monitors and SSD hard dives for that. The tablet is simply to help me stay productive while I am on the move. I simply prefer my tablets for that job. A lot of my colleagues agree with me, as I don't see anyone carrying laptops anymore on our trips.
Also should mention --- I didn't pay for my tablets. My company bought them for me!
But yeah I agree that all current devices are dead technology. We are sure churning out the software for them though. I personally know over 100 people that are building software for Windows 8 devices as we speak. I build Android apps myself when I get bored with my real work. I don't talk to many iOS developers as we don't do that kind of work and I am not particularly a fan of Apple products.
I didn't miss your position Bio, I stated my opinion on the matter and explained the facts that led me to it. I'm old enough to have realized that my opinion and being right don't go hand in hand. No one ever said anything about a netbook which to me has little use and may even force more compromises than a tablet. Nor did anyone say that a tablet isn't a suitable device for people who do not need something more functional for their intended use. If you can work within their limitations and the environment suits you then its all good. You say you like a tablet as a portable device better and you are not alone in this preference, I see a lot of people using them on airplanes and such. I get it. Still no matter how you add it up 2+2 will always be 4 and a tablet does not possess the capabilities of a laptop, this is fact. While everyone you may know is using them I don't know anyone who uses one except as a toy. I'm not against em Bio but if I"m going to pack a larger format device with me it has to offer me something more than a bigger screen than my phone or I'm not bringing it. A test a tablet cannot pass.

Oh no I totally understood what you were trying to say, Crab. I hope I didn't come off as trying to be argumentative as that wasn't my intention. Just a friendly conversation! Hopefully as tablets become powerful they might make you change your mind!
So strange situation today --- I hang out at this bar all the time, but usually only on nights when this one particular bartender is working because I am friendly with her. So about a month ago I went in another night when I was bored and met this other bartender and talked to her all night. So today I get a call out of the blue from the first bartender (my friend) and she tells me I should come into the bar tonight because the second bartender I met is working tonight and she wants to see me
DANGER! This girl is smoking hot. I am going NO WHERE NEAR that bar .... probably EVER again.
Oh sorry Himain, you and I don't know each other very well so you probably don't know I have a girlfriend.
Should have mentioned that.
Details.
