| wolfger | Morning. | 11:15 |
|---|---|---|
| wolfger | Can somebody explain to me why, when I specifically tell Outlook to save changes to a meeting, it pops up a dialog asking me if I want to A) save the changes and send the update to everybody or B) don't save and keep the meeting open? In what universe would I ever click on File -> Save and then not want to save? | 11:18 |
| wolfger | Windows is a fine gaming platform, but it sucks for getting anything useful done. :-p | 11:18 |
| rick_h_ | morning | 11:29 |
| brousch_ | Because Outlook | 11:35 |
| brousch_ | OK, how did I miss this whole segment of cheap Windows 8.1 tablets? Would they not make excellent Ubuntu tablets? http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Iconia-W4-820-2466-8-Inch-Windows/dp/B00G1YJ5BE/ | 11:36 |
| brousch_ | 8", 1280x800, quad core Atom, 2GB RAM, 32-64GB Flash, Intel chipsets | 11:37 |
| rick_h_ | why are we rehashing the netbook generation? | 11:38 |
| brousch_ | Touch! | 11:38 |
| brousch_ | Also, there's Thinkpad 8 from Lenovo: 8" 1920x1200 otherwise similar | 11:38 |
| brousch_ | Oh, they are $250-$300, with the thinkpad 8 at $450 | 11:39 |
| brousch_ | Weigh less than 1lb | 11:40 |
| wolfger | Tablet! Because netbook - keyboard = better? | 11:59 |
| brousch_ | Exactly! | 12:00 |
| wolfger | Although I must admit I use my iPad Air a lot more often than I ever used any netbook | 12:00 |
| brousch_ | 75% of my home computer usage is on my Android devices | 12:01 |
| brousch_ | It's not because they're more capable, it's the form factor | 12:01 |
| brousch_ | So not put your desktop OS in that form factor | 12:02 |
| wolfger | An Ubuntu tablet would be pretty nifty to have... | 12:02 |
| wolfger | Does Ubuntu have a Swype package? | 12:03 |
| brousch_ | I don't know the status of their virtual keyboards | 12:05 |
| brousch_ | LAst time I tried was ~6 years ago and it sucked | 12:05 |
| cmaloney | Morning | 13:17 |
| rick_h_ | morning | 13:17 |
| wolfger | still morning? Man, today is dragging. :-p | 13:44 |
| rick_h_ | heh it's crazy | 13:44 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, because we didn't have power at work I've been catching up on things. | 13:45 |
| cmaloney | fortunately we got power in the afternoon so I was able to take care of a few day-specific things. | 13:45 |
| cmaloney | Otherwise this morning would have been more interesting. | 13:46 |
| cmaloney | I really wish I had my Leopold keyboard here at work. Missing it. :) | 13:46 |
| cmaloney | Using the Logitech wireless keyboard. | 13:46 |
| cmaloney | K520 | 13:46 |
| cmaloney | About the only thing I like about it is it doesn't have that damn menu key near the spacebar. | 13:47 |
| cmaloney | My keyboard technique is such that I hit it when I'm home. | 13:47 |
| cmaloney | Causes all sorts of hell. | 13:47 |
| wolfger | Heh. I bet. | 14:09 |
| rick_h_ | ok, time to turn off the internet | 16:56 |
| cmaloney | Just ignore me. | 16:57 |
| cmaloney | Apparently I fail internet. | 16:57 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: yea, I didn't follow what you said but it seemed to be saying you weren't following what I said | 16:57 |
| rick_h_ | so I consider us even | 16:57 |
| cmaloney | I was trying to reply to someone else and failing | 16:58 |
| rick_h_ | cmaloney: oh, even better then | 16:58 |
| cmaloney | bother. Twitter's going to be nothing but iPhone comedy isn't it? | 17:07 |
| rick_h_ | OMG I laughed hard https://twitter.com/scottsimpson/status/509389897229017088 | 17:21 |
| rick_h_ | <3 space balls | 17:21 |
| wolfger | ++ | 17:21 |
| dzho | cmaloney: ITYM Apple Watch comedy | 19:10 |
| dzho | it's a brand new flavor! | 19:10 |
| cmaloney | dzho: Yeah, I'm sticking with the Pebble for now | 19:15 |
| cmaloney | Lots of first generation teething | 19:15 |
| mthx | Apple Watch, relatively unimpressed. Did like the vibration control they showed with maps though. I think I'll still with Android, plus I already got a Moto360 on the way! | 19:19 |
| mrgoodcat | moto 360 uses same SOC as the MOTOACTV | 19:23 |
| * mrgoodcat *headdesk* | 19:23 | |
| cmaloney | soc? | 19:24 |
| cmaloney | System on a Chip? | 19:25 |
| mrgoodcat | yes | 19:29 |
| mrgoodcat | cpu basically | 19:29 |
| mrgoodcat | but with RAM and stuff built in | 19:29 |
| mrgoodcat | in a nutshell | 19:29 |
| jrwren_ | I was eyeing Fossil watches, but I decided I don't need a watch. | 19:34 |
| brousch_ | even one with a little apple on it?! | 19:35 |
| mrgoodcat | apple made the same mistake lg and samsung did with the smartwatches | 19:35 |
| mrgoodcat | they made it big and square | 19:36 |
| mrgoodcat | at least the 360 looks good | 19:36 |
| mrgoodcat | even if the internals are total shit | 19:36 |
| rick_h_ | it will when they release the SS version | 19:36 |
| brousch_ | Why is it not apple-shaped?! | 19:36 |
| dzho | so, when will we have our first case of someone getting food poisoning or something because they didn't want to get their smahtwatch wet and so failed at handwashing? | 19:36 |
| rick_h_ | except they can get wet :P so no reason not to watch | 19:37 |
| rick_h_ | wash | 19:37 |
| mrgoodcat | moto just needs to get their shit together and update the 360 with something that doesn't have 45nm transistors | 19:37 |
| dzho | so, is the Apple Watch water resistant? | 19:37 |
| mrgoodcat | rick_h_: unless you have a leather wristband | 19:37 |
| mrgoodcat | dzho: i woudl assume so? | 19:38 |
| rick_h_ | nato, ss or bust | 19:38 |
| cmaloney | If they're smart they'll let folks change out the wrist straps | 19:59 |
| cmaloney | if they're Apple you'll have to use Apple straps | 19:59 |
| mrgoodcat | you have to use moto straps on the 360 | 20:00 |
| mrgoodcat | its removeable but nonstandard | 20:00 |
| cmaloney | http://www.apple.com/watch/apple-watch-sport/ | 20:01 |
| cmaloney | There's three different bodies, afaict. | 20:01 |
| cmaloney | That's lame. | 20:01 |
| cmaloney | Hm, actually I think I'm looking at that wrong | 20:02 |
| cmaloney | it looks like they have different "removable" posts that use that same slide-out nonsense that my old pedometer watch had. | 20:02 |
