I miss that keyboard, I really do prefer physical keyboards to software ones.


To edit old g-docs files, it's not possible with quickoffice yet (I assume they will switch to one app that can edit all formats instead)


I'm not sure that is a fair comparison, Movies have a very strict number of people who can see the movie the first weekend (seats in movie theaters and not opening around the world, though the highest movie in the list was harry potter which I think had "world premier"). Where games have no limit on how many can buy it the first day, which is especially true since digital download has become so popular.


It might not be fair but it's a comparison you'll have to get used to. What's not fair is the way that movie profits are reported. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_accounting


With lots of people with huge TVs, with a substantial portion of them capable of 3D, they could stream the movie via Netflix as well.

Digital download is the future. They have chosen to ignore it at their own peril.


Thanks, had to click 3 links before the OP story gave some insight into what had happened.


And TV:s, fridges, computers... They manufacture more than just phones you know.


They don't dominate any market like they do Android phones. Are 90% of all fridges sold made by Samsung?


except for those people who need glasses to see


Yeah, that's a good point. Maybe Glass will be like prescription sunglasses, and people will have a separate pair? Maybe there will be a way to overtly disable the computer part or remove it entirely?

I think it's really unlikely that, aside from early adopters, people will have Glass "in place" when they're not using it, though.


Maybe someone should do something like that to show how ridiculous DMCA can be


what's wrong with that? An egg weighs around 50-60 grams... Unless you count XL/L eggs


It's better to take a surface + external monitor than a desktop + external monitor though


What if you have a small desktop, like a mac mini? Actually, a mac mini is better than a Surface in this scenario.
