The Surface Pro 3 really is one of the best drat computers on sale today if you don't need a dedicated GPU in your portable. It's full Windows 8.1 pro, it has the same full power ULV processors that any other ultrabook has, the screen is among the best in the whole market, it lasts forever on a battery, and is portable as hell. The only con is it's a bit pricey, but it certainly has the hardware to back those specs up. It's also selling exceedingly well for Microsoft. Hardware sales, especially the Surface Pro 3, helped salvage their last quarter's financial results.

While the ad is terrible the surface pro 3 is awesome. I replaced the iPad and macbook pro with it. The kickstand is very handy when using it as a tablet. It holds at any angle unlike the smart cover on the iPad which can only stand up the iPad at two angles. Also the thing comes with a pen, so I don't know what the deal is with the finger painting poo poo. GutBomb fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Nov 27, 2014 |

The only thing that put me off was the price--$800 was more than I was willing to spend.

It's $1000 for any reasonable storage.

The cut down version of this ad is playing non stop right now and I want to murder someone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXKeT5FALl8 The cut down version is just the 15 seconds of the ad. It seems to be literally every other ad on my tv at the moment.

Speaking of classic Christmas commercials, the Corona "Oh Christmas Tree" one is back..but they changed it and it's pure poo poo now. Previously, the guy would whistle the first line of "O Christmas Tree", then there would be a pause, and then the palm tree would be lit, and he's whistle the next line. But now it has the tree light up before he starts whistling. And they didn't change the audio at all, so there's still a weird, awkwardly long pause between the first and second whistled lines that now serves no purpose.

Rirse posted:Yeah it actually looks like Skeletor! I know Stretch Armstrong and GI Joe existed for a long time, but you figure in the ads that is appealing to 80s adults they would use those versions of the characters, not the 60s version where GIJoe is just a generic miltary guy and Strech is just in a speedo. Stretch Armstrong you say? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKhqUOncefY (make sure to watch to the end.)

You know what? gently caress you chick film a cows. You're getting no sympathy from me when your method of protest is "No kill these other animals instead of me or I will pester you". In the cow universe I bet most people carry a shotgun and waste these fuckers all the time.

The Christmas season doesn't start until the Budweiser Christmas Card ad is shown. You know the one where the sleigh is cruising down the road with the tied up Christmas tree while "King of Beers" is do-dooed throughout. The only thing that has changed is Clooney does the voiceover otherwise that ad has run unchanged yearly for at least 40+ years.

The newest version of the Kate Upton Game of War ad (where she gives a rally speech and leads them into battle) has CGI so bad it's distracting. It's not even necessary so why attempt it?

I like how Taco Bell has one ad airing right now showing how great their food is because you can hold it with one hand and another ad showing a guy awkwardly kissing his girlfriend's dad instead of shaking his hand because both of his hands are full of taco bell.
