Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Change the setting in Control Pannel -> Folders -> View.

Under Advanced Settings, check "Display folder path".

x-posty. But with this method the path always shows.

Microsoft Surface pricing:

Microsoft site leaks early pricing details on Surface tablet | DVICE

Earlier this morning, an eagle-eyed Microsoft watcher discovered a page on the company's online store listing the Surface tablet in several configurations including $499 for the 32-gigabyte model without the Touch Cover, $599 for the 32-gigabyte model with the Touch Cover, and $699 for a 64-gigabyte model with a Touch Cover. In addition to the tablet, the site also listed the device's accessories priced at $119.99 for the Touch Cover and $129.00 for the Type Cover. However, it looks as though that posting was an early leak, because the page has now completely disappeared, and Microsoft has remained mum on any official pricing details for the device.

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

I was just looking at Surface pricing. It's a secret?

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

I *really* like that "Type" cover. Does anyone make something like that for the iPad?

I guess not anymore.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Jessica, there is this: [link]

I have one, got it on Amazon for a lot less. The only downside is, it's not connected to the iPad, so if you are standing and want to use the iPad, ya know have two things in your hands. But great on the desk, or on your lap. It makes the iPad like a laptop. I love it!

Hey. New board.

I have a stylus for my tablet/phones, but since it isn't actually key for anything,

My understanding is that the stylus on the Note line is a Wacom-style pressure sensitive pen, like the ones included on traditional Windows tablets. That means the OS can detect hovering, dragging, and tapping, offer the ability of right-click-style work (either through a button or a long press), and use pressure sensitivity to adjust the behavior depending on how hard you press. Awesome for writing, drawing, and gestural navigation.

I absolutely adore my Lenovo tablet PC, despite Windows/Wacom/Lenovo in general having done a mediocre job of taking advantage of the stylus. When it is supported, it is AWESOME, and it sounds like Samsung is really working to support it.

Jessica,

I have this one for my ipad.

Which just makes it more likely I'll lose it, because it won't just be living in the bottom of my bag. This is also one of the reasons I don't want remote controlled electrodes implanted into my spine. I will not make it a month without losing that fucker. It's is a MIRACLE I have my Apple TV remote still, and if Apple TVs were any good, I'd have lost it long ago.

Although, not official site, this one has good packaging tips: [link]

Thanks for the packaging tips, omnis. I have some stuff to send out and the tips are quite useful.

I sort of knew there would be trouble when I could feel the computer sliding around in the box as the postman handed it to me. The box was misshapen but, when hooked up, the system seemed to work and I WANTED it to work so badly, I sort of lalalaed while running tons of diagnostics and getting expert advice.

I submitted my claim to Amazon and have crossed all my appendages.
