[11:15] <wolfger> Morning.
[11:18] <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
[11:29] <rick_h_> morning
[11:35] <brousch_> Because Outlook
[11:36] <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/
[11:37] <brousch_> 8", 1280x800, quad core Atom, 2GB RAM, 32-64GB Flash, Intel chipsets
[11:38] <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
[11:39] <brousch_> Oh, they are $250-$300, with the thinkpad 8 at $450
[11:40] <brousch_> Weigh less than 1lb
[11:59] <wolfger> Tablet! Because netbook - keyboard = better?
[12:00] <brousch_> Exactly!
[12:00] <wolfger> Although I must admit I use my iPad Air a lot more often than I ever used any netbook
[12:01] <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
[12:02] <brousch_> So not put your desktop OS in that form factor
[12:02] <wolfger> An Ubuntu tablet would be pretty nifty to have...
[12:03] <wolfger> Does Ubuntu have a Swype package?
[12:05] <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
[13:17] <cmaloney> Morning
[13:17] <rick_h_> morning
[13:44] <wolfger> still morning? Man, today is dragging. :-p
[13:44] <rick_h_> heh it's crazy
[13:45] <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.
[13:46] <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
[13:47] <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.
[14:09] <wolfger> Heh. I bet.
[16:56] <rick_h_> ok, time to turn off the internet
[16:57] <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
[16:58] <cmaloney> I was trying to reply to someone else and failing
[16:58] <rick_h_> cmaloney: oh, even better then
[17:07] <cmaloney> bother. Twitter's going to be nothing but iPhone comedy isn't it?
[17:21] <rick_h_> OMG I laughed hard https://twitter.com/scottsimpson/status/509389897229017088
[17:21] <rick_h_> <3 space balls
[17:21] <wolfger> ++
[19:10] <dzho> cmaloney: ITYM Apple Watch comedy
[19:10] <dzho> it's a brand new flavor!
[19:15] <cmaloney> dzho: Yeah, I'm sticking with the Pebble for now
[19:15] <cmaloney> Lots of first generation teething
[19:19] <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!
[19:23] <mrgoodcat> moto 360 uses same SOC as the MOTOACTV
[19:23]  * mrgoodcat *headdesk*
[19:24] <cmaloney> soc?
[19:25] <cmaloney> System on a Chip?
[19:29] <mrgoodcat> yes
[19:29] <mrgoodcat> cpu basically
[19:29] <mrgoodcat> but with RAM and stuff built in
[19:29] <mrgoodcat> in a nutshell
[19:34] <jrwren_> I was eyeing Fossil watches, but I decided I don't need a watch.
[19:35] <brousch_> even one with a little apple on it?!
[19:35] <mrgoodcat> apple made the same mistake lg and samsung did with the smartwatches
[19:36] <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?
[19:37] <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
[19:38] <mrgoodcat> dzho: i woudl assume so?
[19:38] <rick_h_> nato, ss or bust
[19:59] <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
[20:00] <mrgoodcat> you have to use moto straps on the 360
[20:00] <mrgoodcat> its removeable but nonstandard
[20:01] <cmaloney> http://www.apple.com/watch/apple-watch-sport/
[20:01] <cmaloney> There's three different bodies, afaict.
[20:01] <cmaloney> That's lame.
[20:02] <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.
