HP may release combination tablet-PC/coffee table.

I was just in literary, and I just read HP as Harry Potter.

I'm pretty sure that OSX still uses Samba, unless Apple is removing the ability to use the SMB protocol which would be kinda crazy.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Not if they're planning on switching over to Windows. :)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm pretty sure there's still Samba. When I had the Ubuntu box up, it was chatting merrily with Tiger.

I saw a game/touchscreen table report from...whatever the consumer electronics show just was. It looked COOL.

Our wings are not tired

Accordiing to Apple's own site it's there:

In fact, they actually list SMB, the real Microsoft Liscensed version, not the free Samba version.

SMB is just the name of the protocol. Apple supports it by using Samba.

From the Tiger Technical Brief: "Mac OS X for UNIX Users" SMB/CIFS, Microsoft’s proprietary Server Message Block/Common Internet File System file service, is the primary file sharing protocol for Windows. Mac OS X includes Samba, the popular open source SMB server, to enable Windows users to access files on Mac computers. In addition, BSD-based SMB client support in Mac OS X gives Mac users the ability to browse and connect to Windows file servers and volumes.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Aw man. Why am I never in Times Square when this sort of thing happens?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Why am I never in Times Square

Luck.
