It'll be some time before we have real details on this thing, but in the meantime... some people are already making their decisions. I'm waiting to hear more about price, battery life, real-world usability, and other miscellany.

He bases his argument on the unknown... faulty.... And anyway - you cant really compare this to an iPad. The capabilities, specifically speaking of the large SSD, far surpass that of the iPad. I think that Microsoft is not battling the iPad, but the new MacBook Retina. Apple is trying to enhance the laptop - Microsoft is looking to destroy it. The fact that Surface might replace the laptop doesn't surprise me, but this is far better than an iPad and the author shouldn't base his argument on something that nobody knows. Oh, and by the way, I won't be getting the iPhone 327 because I don't know the price or specs... REALLY?!?!? o.O

Problem: Microsoft Life Cam Auto Focus keeps putting image out of focus.

Solution: Turn off the Auto Focus feature.

Makes perfect sense.

Apple Legal Team & Tim Cook
Watch Microsoft Surface Promo

http://winsource.com - Visit the Microsoft Surface Forums at http://winsource.com/forum/microsoft-surface/ ------------------------------------------------ THIS IS A PARODY! It is intended for humor and entertainment purposes only. We would appreciate a thumbs up and share if you found it either! The video is a spoof on the concept of Tim Cook (Apple CEO) and the Apple Legal Team watching the Microsoft Surface promo video shortly after the product's announcement. Microsoft owns the original video and the picture of Tim Cook was found through Google Images, both of which are used in fair use to create a completely new form (that Apple has not yet trademarked or patented). ------------------------------------------------------- TRANSCRIPT: Tim Cook: Oh hey guys uh what's up? It's Tim, Tim Cook here, from Apple. Lawyer: (Clears throat) Tim, it's the legal team. Tim Cook: My hot shot legal team! Lawyer: Uh, wanted you to see this video. Listen to my impressions... we need to bring out the big guns. Microsoft has just totally ripped off 70 Billion- Tim Cook: Oh my oh Lawyer: Whup look: white square. Tim Cook: What is that? Lawyer: Patented in 1993, by Apple Tim Cook: That is IT. Is that? A square device on a pedestal? Oh my God we patented that, like, 20 years ago. Lawyer: Rectangular gadget, sitting there. Patented. Long time ago... Tim Cook: Oh my god! Lawyer: Magnets. Tim Cook: It's got magnets? Lawyer: Patented that. Actually we invented that. Tim Cook: Magnets? Lawyer: It's absurd! Tim Cook: Magnets? For heaven's sakes. Lawyer: We need to do something about this, we need to act NOW. Tim Cook: Magnets, we patented that do- Lawyer: LOOK! Windows Logo! We patented the new Windows Logo 5 years ago. Kickstands. Tim Cook: Apple. Lawyer: Kickstands. Tim Cook: Son. Lawyer: We invented those with the bike! Tim Cook: All day. Lawyer: When the bicycle was invented by Apple- Tim Cook: That's some jiggly... Lawyer: Aw look at this. Tim Cook: Jiggly balls? What's going on here? I don't like what's Lawyer: Tim! Tim! Tim Cook: I don't like what's happenin' here. Lawyer: Tim! Tim snap out of it! This is a slap in the face Tim and we need to bring out the- LOOK! Bouncing balls? Tim Cook: Oh that's it. That is such a ripoff. Lawyer: I'm fed up with this. Tim Cook: Oh my god. Well what are we gon' do? Lawyer: What are we gonna do. Tim Cook: What are we gonna do. Lawyer: What are we gonna do.... mmmmmmmm... ahhhhhhhhhhhh!
