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