Perhaps you thought it was a joke, but it wasn't funny. When I was a little boy it had already had been old as the hills...

Inappropriate for a programming forum. You need to supply the numbers in a better format. Here you go:
for (int i=1; i<=45; ++i) {
Console.WriteLine(i.ToString()+Environment.NewLine);
}

That's ok. I see it different. For me beauty is important. I don't like ugly people. For humans beauty comes from inside (and so does ugliness) for machines and objects beauty comes from the outside.
In fact all my decisions on buying or doing something depends on the fact if I like it or not. Therefore I'm always happy cause I gather beauty around me. If you will see me on the street I'll smile, you can ask anybody who knows me. I'm never bad-tempered- I can't be because I know prettiness is everywhere around me.
So for me: No Surface. It's ugly. And ugliness brings fretfulness.

Oh my, how different is it from an iPad? "It's ugly", give me a break.

My wife thinks it's gorgeous and cannot wait to get one. And she uses an iPad, a Macbook Air and an iPhone. She's also Japanese and if you've ever been to Japan, you would know that they value beautiful things.
So beauty really is in the eye of the beholder, and honestly, I think my wife sees clearly. But that might be my bias speaking.

I don't understand your title when I read your content. I didn't see even 1 reason listed why Microsoft's Surface is better than an iPad. All I see is a brief recount of history and a rant about fan-boys.

You're supposed to reference the article he linked to...

Tablets have been more like "consumer electronics" than "computer". Surface could be the one that fills the gap.

I think you've nailed it. Apple products are fancy gizmos for people who don't need real computers. This could be a real computer.

To win - simply remove the restrictions imposed by apple - and I will buy!.
The iPad is a nice piece of hardware and overall good software design, let down by its appalling lock down and lack of connectivity (no USB to PC etc).
Hence by preference for Android
Microsft was good for the PC as it was open (save for the actual operating system) do that for the surface and you stand a good chance of being an iPad killer - and we need one so badly

I would buy one, no questions asked, if i had the chance, i thinks it's not the prettiest of the pack, but it's features (at least the ones they have showed), have impressed me deeeply.
Aside from that i believe Microsoft have made incredible hardware before (Zune HD, Xbox, Kinect, for example) and that's enough for me.
P.S.: Apple has done beautiful increbible hardware too, but they're overpriced, that's why i'm not buying from them.

While Microsoft technologies I my mainstay, I have done work on mainframe and UNIX platforms and have worked with a wide variety of database engines. Each one has it’s use and most times it is less expensive to find a way to communicate with an existing system than to replace it. So what are the main benefits of expending the effort to learn a new technology? Be ready to MacGyver any coding problem.

I wondered what a Cyberwar might look like. Now we have an idea. The governments of United States and Israel have been conducting a not-so-covert war against Iran without having to disclose it to their people. Knowing this leaves me with two questions, one perhaps a legal technicality, the other more practical... Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room.

From disclosure through potential outcomes, the article reflects a 'refreshing' naivety.
The cyber-elephanting been going on, nation-to-nation, for a long time before these 'discoveries' - and stealing industrial secrets is uber-grand-financial-warfare.

In the above video, starting about 1/3 through, you have revealed that invasion methods have included using the power supplies on 'secured systems' . Targeting national infrastructure.
Question: So why are we suddenly worried about Iran being a victim ?

Some people have been weighing in with disappointment about what they perceive as minor updates in iOS 6, but it addresses some very common pain points for customers. This is a refinement release, which as far as I can tell is a big part of Apple’s strategy for development. Somewhat a reflection of Intel’s “tick-tock” strategy, Apple makes a new release with big bets and new features, following it up with a release more notable for its tweaks and subtle refinements. Which of these features are you looking forward to?
