    That live lawsuit was always on tenuous ground anyways. It's nice to see MS give people a big fuck you for that.

    pity about the touchscreen as it looks like a resistive not capacitive one.

    @Jesus_Jones: Source article confirms it's resistive.
    Why would that matter? Pen works much better on a mouse based UI anyway. (though Win7 is designed to be finger friendly I guess)

    I used that resistive touchscreen before in an acer and it's like reading trough 20 layers of clingfilm and it feels like you're touching the screen with a prophylactic on the end of whatever appendage you choose to use. #dellmini9

    @MarcusMaximus: Adolescent Jesus is fairly indifferent. Hormones, you know. Adult Jesus would've whipped the shit out of you. Dead Jesus would have a blast freaking out his old friends during the resurrection.

    Plus I want one that I can modify to go under the bezel because I'll be taking the laptop apart and making a new case for it.

    I'm interested in how he is going to do the accelerometer. I've looked into that myself and found no easy solution. Unless I completely missed something, which is possible.

    Or better yet, an iPhone with the Spirilt level app duct taped to the side of the tablet?

    In my experience, the girls always go for the red one! But that's mine!

    Although my previous girlfriends weren't that great at most video games, they still really enjoyed them. Heck, one of them always did better than me at any game on Super Nintendo.

    I've tried everything to get my wife into gaming...introduced her to WoW, got a Wii, got her a nintendo DS with dogs, etc.

    Seems like the only thing that interests her is watching lame cop dramas, wedding shows, and fashion shows...sigh.
