well that new Metro UI they are rolling out is touchy feely friendly.

They are also doing a stripped down Win8 for the ARM powered tabs, they get WinRT and its ONLY the touch metro interface.

Only x86 powered tabs get the full win8 OS.

same with the phones, ARM powered phone gets WinRT, x86 powered phone can have the whole OS. It also looks like intel is starting to shove atom processors into phones.

That is why im saying this might be a game changer for them in the phone depo, its getting REAL software, not some hack up phone only OS.

I would rather have a stripped down version, not the full OS. Battery life, and size is very important to me.

Personally, I don't need a full OS, because I want it simple, easy to use, stable, and instant load up, and power down. There is probably a market for someone needing more power, but I think it's going to be a niche group.

I just don't want anything to be TOO PC if you know what I mean. I don't want the complexity, and the problems associated with full size computers, especially if I don't require the benefits of them while I'm on the go.

win8 is pretty diff, they say it boots up and shuts down so fast then if you want to boot into safe mode or something they make you tell it on the restart 1st, and it will also freeze state and go to sleep just like a phone.

lots and lots and lots and lots has changed in win 8, im still not a fan but I can see where it would be well suited to a touch device like a phone or a tab. Which is actually my gripe with it.... they made it to touchy, people use it on a desktop and think its stupid... slide to unlock? slide what? my mouse? really... psh, disabling this silly feature right away!

Again most phones are ARM so you'd just get the winRT version with is still going to be more beef then iOS and android will keeping it stable and b/s free, and its going to slip right in and play with all your existing devices .

You'd prob have to go out of your way to find an x86 phone with the full OS but im sure they'll be out there.


I streamed the whole 3 hour demo when win8 1st came out with the dev preview, the core of the OS has really been revamped heavily. If you can find a video of something like "win 8 dev preview event" and you've to some spare time you'll see what i mean, even if you don't understand all the tech babble you'll get a good idea of what its like.

hahah sp00kes gonna love this:

Mac are teh better!

that shit I just linked
 
Mac users don’t just pay more for their computer than their PC counterparts, they also pay more for hotel rooms when the shop on Orbitz, according to a report.

Orbitz’s data found that Mac users spend 30% more on hotel rooms, so the company is starting to show them more expensive rooms, according to The Wall Street Journal. Orbitz could not be reached for comment, but “Orbitz executives confirmed that the company is experimenting with showing different hotel offers to Mac and PC visitors,” the WSJ reported. The company added that it isn’t showing the same room to different users at different prices.

Research showed that Mac users spent $20 to $30 more per night on hotel rooms than PC owners. Mac users were also 40% more likely to book a four or five-star hotel. Orbitz confirmed the data in October and then began working the information into search results.

Testing the data, The WSJ found a Mac search for a hotel in Miami Beach for two nights in July showed pricier hotels on the first page of results. “Overall, hotels on the first page of the Mac search were about 11% more expensive than they were on the PC,” the article states.

A rep from Expedia, a rival of Orbitz, told the publication that it doesn’t offer different results for PC and Mac users.

Though Orbitz’s segmentation may raise hackles among users with privacy concerns, the fact that Mac users tend to be more affluent is well-established. The average household income for a Mac user is $98,560 compared to $74,452 for a PC user, according to Forrester.

I don't know if it's fucking them... It says Mac users generally make more money, so they in turn buy more expensive and nicer hotel rooms. Orbitz, skips all the bull shit, and goes ahead and shows them the nicer rooms first. It seems legit to me. It's not like their prices are different from computer to computer.

It might not be fucking them as a whole, but it's fucking the ones that don't make as much money or don't want to spend as much

If they can't afford a particular type of room, they don't have to buy it. They can always go cheaper, it just shows the most popular types of rooms for that certain demographic. It's not like the prices are different for PC users, and Mac users. When I do a search for a hotel room, I already have a room type, and price in mind. It would be great if they had what I had in mind already at the top of the search queue. If they didn't, I'd just look till I find what I'm looking for.

What if they advertise a black dating site, or soul-glo on BET. If I watch BET (as a non black person), am I getting screwed because I have no use for either? No, I'll probably just continue using normal people hair products, and conventional dating practices, and not worry about it. They target the proper demographic to make the most money, in this case, black people. In orbitz case, they target a wealthier demographic to show them more expensive hotel rooms. I have no problems with that.

I just find it funny that the server sees they are using a mac then starts shoving higher priced rooms at them straight away.

My GF is black and we were on the side of town I live on (99% white) and went into a Meijer's and she was looking for some things, like a specific hair care product for black ppl and a few other little things and they didnt have anything she was looking for and she was like, this is such a white ass Meijer's lol.
