So the Surface ads are finally starting to hit the airwaves and I still don't get the concept. I mean, it's a tablet with a keyboard. So... it's a netbook? Did Dennis Duffy get a job at Microsoft?

404GoonNotFound posted:So the Surface ads are finally starting to hit the airwaves and I still don't get the concept. It's quite simple really: it's a tablet that runs Windows but has a removable keyboard, also it's not really Windows, it's Windows RT which only runs apps made for whatever the whole deal with Windows apps is now. They're also releasing Windows 8 tablets that will be the same as Windows RT except it's full Windows 8 that will run legacy apps (anything that's not specifically one of those Windows Store app things -- at this point the phrasing is getting difficult for me to remember because it's all a mess of reused branding -- i.e. everything on Windows right now). So it's simple you see! It's the new Windows tablet that has a detachable keyboard and runs a version of Windows for tablets (which takes up 12 gigs out of the box apparently) that doesn't have a desktop (except for Office, which for some reason necessitates it's inclusion) and can't run non Windows Store apps, set to compete with the upcoming Windows 8 tablets that will actually run Windows 8 that looks the same as Windows RT but also runs Windows programs that aren't in the Windows Store. It's a Windows tablet with a keyboard, a tablet that's like a lesser netbook/ultrabook that's set to compete against the upcoming Windows tabletized netbook/ultrabooks.

loving Verizon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38qqQ-EQ3vk Look how high our bar is compared to the other bars! We must be the best because we have the biggest bar. Too bad we don't tell you what the Y-axis actually stands for. Could be number of markets, could also be the number of puppies we threw off a cliff and offered as sacrifice to the Verizon blood god, who the gently caress knows??? Label your god damned axis!

I'm currently hating the Radio Shack phone trade in commercials, where they all look like they're being shot by the phones. One ad particular infuriates me. "I GOT THE NEW VERIZON SMARTPHONE! EVERYONE'S GONNA HAVE ONE OF THESE!" The guy is just wayyyyyyyy too excited, and just saying THE NEW VERIZON SMARTPHONE just infuriates me for some reason.

It reminds me of those commercials for some brand of eyedrops where their demonstration of how it works is a red-colored eye that gradually changes into a blue-colored eye.

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that unless you want to be some sort of crazy person that is upset that they didn't also put "Available Carriers" on the other axis too. This isn't science class.

This isn't science class. I guess you could argue that they don't tell you what "LTE" is or its significance, as far as that commercial is concerned they might as well have called it "blast processing."

e: Also, if T-Mobile has 0, then why are they on a chart that's about carriers that provide this service? Whoops, had to watch this a few times to finally read what it said. Looks like it's the number of markets. Sorry everyone! I swear the first time I saw it, though, it wasn't labelled. SpacePig fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Oct 22, 2012 |

Here in PA there's an ad where some coal miners (or actors playing coal miners) claim that the regulations on mines cause them to close down and constitute a "war on coal." It's like, how dare they put laws in place to make sure you don't die horribly in a mining accident! What assholes!

It's not about mine safety regulations, it's about coal-fueled power plant emissions. It's still just as bad, though. "The government won't let us pollute as much anymore! One of the shittiest ways of generating electricity in the country might have to go away! Feel sorry for us!" The ads might as well be from the lead paint or asbestos lobby.

Somewhere along the way, Pennsylvania forgot it invented nuclear power and all the well paying probably won't kill you jobs that came with it. Also, a lot of Pennsylvania's coal is exported to China to fuel the steel mills that took all the steel jobs. Which might be the most ironic thing in the history of irony.

Not all coal is useful for the same things. Western Pennsylvania produces bituminous coal, which is more useful than other types for coking. You need a lot of coke if you're a less mature steel industry (like China. The US is a mature steel industry. China uses a lot of huge oxygen furnaces to process refined ore. The US reprocesses scrap steel in smaller electric arc furnaces). Sub-bituminous coal, from the Powder River Basin in Wyoming, is too moist to coke but also has very low SO2 levels. You use that for power. It also produces more BTUs per ton than bituminous. In conclusion, coal is a much more complex industry than it would appear.

Well, I didn't know I was going to learn things about coal today, but I still maintain that the sooner we leave coal behind as a power source is the better.Sash! posted:Somewhere along the way, Pennsylvania forgot it invented nuclear power and all the well paying probably won't kill you jobs that came with it.
