Yes, there's an Asus Zenbook one, with a larger 11.6" screen. It doesn't have a stylus though, but unless you really care about a stylus, and you just want a laptop, then it shouldn't matter.

Would you say the HN search is a "good one"? And who would search for Go just by typing go in a search bar? Would you really do that on Google? I don't even do that for less common words, let alone one like "go". I usually use 3-4 words for

If this is true no one will buy the console, no matter what bells and whistles they add on top to make it "feel right". It's not right.

I still think this should've arrived with a more modern interface. At least I hope they get to that by the time port it to Android devices.

Microsoft makes Microsoft look bad, unfortunately for them. But it seems to be in their company's DNA to spread FUD about others. It's like crack to them.

Isn't that what I said? If it's a quad core Cortex A15, it should have decent performance, while keeping the cost very low, and high battery life. However, knowing Google's track record with "new" products, they usually start out making the

In a recent speech by Gabe, I think he said they'd still check for malware. But he didn't give any details, so I'm not sure if he actually has a plan to open the market, but in the same time has a system for checking malware, or he was just

I don't really see the value in that either. So until they can figure it out themselves what ChromeOS integrated with Android offers mores than just the Chrome browser for Android, then they should probably keep them separated.

You're not paranoid, but all companies release "leaks" like this these days, without an "official" announcement, months earlier.

Hangouts and WebRTC should be good alternatives for that. But you also can use Skype in the browser last I checked (for video-calls): https://imo.im

The Nexus 10 was $400 with very similar resolution (2560x1600). But this would be using a bigger screen, which probably means it's more expensive (although less PPI than Nexus 10). So I hope it's somewhere between $500-$600. $500 would be t

It looks like Google is the first company to have listened to Linus - 2560x1700 resolution laptop! They might want to use that resolution for tablets, too, as it would make them a little better for using them vertically. Although 2560x1800

No, they weren't flagged off the page. The first one slowly faded to the bottom of the page, and the second got few upvotes.

I wonder which whistleblower is Obama going to prosecute this time. When the government itself is the criminal , then it makes perfect sense from their point of view to "eliminate" the threat, in this case the people who don't intend on be

I don't usually read Gruber's post, but I see he put up a list of conclusions from several reviews for Surface Pro. They keyword in all of them seems to be "compromise", which is exactly what I said in my others comments: http://daringfire

I agree. Because of the "hybrid" theory, I also thought that's the future initially. But once I started using Windows 8, and thinking about the compromises you have to make with a "hybrid", I realized it's not the best of both worlds, but t

It did not get flagged off the front page. I watched it myself how it dropped to the bottom of the page. Getting flagged off the page would've meant disappearing from the top early on. Maybe it's too hard to admit people just don't care muc

How exactly? It's just an ultrabook, which aren't much more than a tiny niche market in the PC market right now. And it has a touchscreen does that make it a tablet? A tablet with 4 hours of battery life, that is heavier even than an iPad,

There are Android smartphones that go for $50 in Africa. And they will be down to $30 by the end of this year. Now that's an affordable smartphone. Do they really think $150 is affordable in Kenya? That's like a high-end device for them.

I think TheVerge's conclusion [1] says exactly what I thought about Windows 8 and Windows 8 hybrids from day one: "It tries to do everything, but misses doing anything really well" Something like the Surface Pro has a lot of compromises,

Atom is still way, way too slow for legacy programs, and that's supposed to be one of the "strengths" of x86 tablets. They may support them, but if they work slow on it, then it's all for nothing.

This wouldn't be that big of a problem if the carriers and manufacturers left control over updates to Google.

I've noticed where they were going with their strategy a while ago. They're basically trying to cut the price in half or so for the next model, every 3 years. This worked perfectly considering they were a start-up and could only build a few

That's surprising. Wasn't Minecraft made in Java? You'd think the Android version would work best (after the PC one of course). Sounds to me like they just didn't care that much about the Android version.

I think there are quite a lot of those games that have virtual buttons on top, and those can be easily ported to the console. Many of them are RPG's or MMORPG's, which use the same free-2-play model OUYA is interested in, and are actually s

Most games should be fine in 720p on Tegra 3. Still wish they used a more powerful chip for a mid-2013 public launch, though. But maybe they can catch-up for version 2.

While not huge in the grand scheme of things, Dell has probably been the biggest vendor of Ubuntu machines, mostly in India and other poor countries. For $2 billion Microsoft gets to tell them to kill any such Ubuntu or Android product line
