It's only a preview out at the moment. Win7 is two and a half years old, mind. The long stretch between XP and Vista was more an oddity than the norm, a new version of Windows every few years is otherwise the standard.

Windows 8 is the worst thing ever, its like if some dude named 'Hitler Von Stalin the Third' became president of the EU.

Its just like apple except its cheaper and there are way more free apps. Why WOULD you get an ipad, other than for branding and garage band/photobooth?
My problem is that the tab is so last gen!
Asus seems to be the kings of Android tablets imo. They are pushing form factors and specs. Most android manufacturers, even the newly annoucned Samsung stuff is very last gen spec wise >.< if you want to compete with apple you have to dish out more than them, especially when they are about to annouce a quad core tablet. Its lame cause even their price points are at or above apples, so its no real wonder that android hasnt taken off on tablets!

Ham shot first.
Ham Solo redeems you, now and for ever.
Don't know much about Asus tablets, but I have had 2 of their netbooks and love them, maybe they will be the company that gets me to try a tablet.
Edit: Double post, fuck it, it's staying, I don't care.
Not only that but they replaced the start bar with a whole damn stupid ass ugly terrible inunergonomically awful ui that sucks and is awful. Also lots of stupid little things designed to annoy people and put style over form and function.
The ribbon does exist but it isn't default. It was going to be everyone bitched and moaned about how it was silly. This is currently how explorer looks.

last i cheked 8 comes after 7 but dont quote me on that
i thought they used a king
i always liked the og transformer but lack of cash and my rule of never get the first run of any tech got the better of me.
the new prime looks too much like a mac and that makes me not want to get it either.
but yeah i was waiting for a new transformer and that was going to be the tablet i got. really sad now about the looks of it. i still wouldnt mind an og galaxy tab. the 7" phone they put out. i really liked the look of that.
read that as garbage band and smiled.

The Windows Start Menu has needed a real revamp for a long time. It's not perfect in Windows 8 bit IMO it has the ability to be great if there's the software support (and tiles need to have support for basic controls!).
One thing it's missing that I find useful Windows 7 is the jump lists.

Bit the bullet and used the 360 controller for Syndicate. Doesn't feel right.
Pretty cool aesthetic but largely wasted. Very linear, pretty boring. Weapons feel great though. Normal feels a bit easier than I usually find, might bump it up to Hard to give the action a bit more intensity.
Most rooms have random shit you can force push to recharge your mind bullets which makes it a bit hum drum.
Post effects are more harsh on the eyes than even Battlefield 3's campaign. Really went a touch too far into painful rather than stylish.
Overall should be an okay romp, not expecting Deus Ex 3 level or anything.
If I was on more money I would totally grab one. Leave the dock on the kitchen bench for typing while chatting and browsing recipes, flying naked on the couch while relaxing doing some surfing.

My last monitor was a second hand ASUS and it was great. Also using their motherboards because they are awesome and the right price!

People grow apart? What's the big deal?
It either ends at 3 years or 7 years, Guess they were getting close to the 7!

Better to have loved, etc... It's sad but better to break up than be miserable.
The rule is, On average or something along those lines. People get bored of each other around the 7 year mark, Although there's now a 3 year mark that's starting to pop up.
If you can go beyond that then you're good for another 40 till you're old and realise you wanna try and score with super young people! (something like that)
If you try and think about everyone you know and their relationships, There may be a lot that end around the 3 year mark.
Who the heck really knows why. It could just be a silly thing people are now starting to say and people are taking notice, When it probably means nothing at all.

Sweet our 3 year anniversary will be our wedding day. Will either get over the hump and be cool for at least 4 more years or be a beautiful trainwreck.

Especially for young couples, sometimes they want to see what else is out there - which I personally think is a stupid reason to break up, or maybe their life dreams were taking them different places.
As a side note, I'm kinda terrified about what happens after uni. I want to work overseas, while my partner wants to stay and do editing work in Brisbane. Still almost four years to go though, if I do honours etc. Something like that is an even more stupid reason to break up. Ugh.
aww, what a nice idea ^^ How far away is that? Will your son be able to walk? If he was the flower boy that would be incredibly cute.
This is actually what I think happened
Which sucks because everything was so happy and perfect at the farewell parties not so long ago.
I'm at the three year hump, it is feeling a bit shaky too. Not unpleasent, we have both just chaged from who we were.
So, these android tablets, how hard are they to stream media to? I have been using my netbook pplugged in to tye HDMI on the plasma to stream from the big computer with all the music and films. Can these tablets do that? Nothing is iny sort of format standarg, I've got mkv, avi, mpeg mov, shit, probably other stuff to. If there something like Vlc that will play media from a network source?

Where are the pictures? Fuuuuu
Yea there would be a few options on android.
You could install plex onto your main rig so it acts like the server then just use the app on android to view and watch all your shit. http://www.plexapp.com/android/
I'm sure VLC or something like it is on android as well.

Best move ever! The wife and I got married on our 'we got together' anniversary - no new dates to remember! It was even her idea. Score!
Dead Man: The lady when we got married said something I'll remember forever (at least the gist of it!), and that was that truly loving someone was to support them and to encourage them to grow even if it's not necessarily what you want. The person you're with now isn't the person you fell in love with, and to try to force them to stay that person is the wrong thing to do and will usually end badly. Instead, love and support them for who they are now.
Cool, think Ill track one down and have a play around. Thanks! So they are about 650 with the dock for the top speck model?

God I wanna go to Japan and Korea so bad.
Is it bad not to have an anniversary? When do you start counting from? I just know it all kind of began around September - October so we've never really celebrated (our birthdays are then as well though so there's already a lot going on). I guess if we ever get hitched we'll get a date then. haha.
Also @dead man, I agree with codswallop. Also I wanted to add that the three year hump is around when you tend to get lazy about the relationship. Its a comfortable part of your life, and you kinda know its not going anywhere so you don't work as hard, stop going out or doing fun things so often. Try not to do that.

You start counting whenever you agree to start counting! There are no rules! We decided we were a couple a week after we met so that's the date we use as our anniversary. It could be when you met, your first date, first kiss, whenever you felt you were together really.
You give me and my girlfrend a guided tour and we will pay for all the tickets. Sounds fair to me.
Me too! Well, Japan anyway.
I was supposed to go at the beginning of the year but had to cancel because I had to start my job. I'd love to go maybe later this year but I'm not really sure about what the situation is with the radiation and what not. Most of my friends who used to go with me there all the time are still reluctant to go.
It also doesn't help that my mum reckons if I go I'll come back with radioactive sperm and she'll have mutant grand children in the future:/

Ah, anything Tokyo or further south is fine. Its only up north that's having problems, so you can tell everyone that its like people calling to ask if you were effected by the QLD floods. Luckily a lot of good places to visit are south of that (kyoto, osaka, hiroshima, fuji). I'm hoping to study in Kyoto over our summer period, so if you decide to visit any time around then let me know and we can catch up or something.
Haha. If you really wanna go I can tell you some good times/ places to visit.
Hm... I'll have to think about it. I didn't keep a diary or a planner or anything. Haha.
South Korea is awesome, I spent a few weeks there back in 2002 when the FIFA World Cup was on. Never have I been welcomed and treated so nicely as I have over there, the people were incredible and just too friendly. I was treated like a rock star, so many great memories.
I spent a few weeks in Japan too, I had a great time there as well but Korea was just awesome.
Also, this 3 and 7 year relationship thing sounds like bullshit. For me it's the 3 and 7 week mark where my relationships end...

Awesome, now I can't fond my windows disc to uninstall 8. Motherfucker. This is why piracy happens Microsoft
But flood waters don't fly! My mum's been reading too many magazines about how radiation flies and the effect of radiation to young people that haven't had children yet. I personally don't think there's a problem, reasons being the stuff that you said.
But yeah I was planning to go to Kansai region too because I've never really been to look at all the culture-y stuff that's around there. Really want to go to Nagoya too and visit my baseball team!
You got me all excited now!

Didn't you just install it? How did you already lose the disc?
That would be amazing. We could write a book!
Deek: tee hee It would be so fun to see a proper baseball match in japan, wearing all the getups and stuff. And I don't even watch baseball!

I installed 8, I didn't need the 7 disc at all. I'll just download a 7 disc and reinstall from that. The copy I have is legit, and the code is on the computer so it'll be fine
