Look at this goddamn thing http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/1832xqtrnph45gif/original.gif It is frankly phenomenal that this is a real computer that you can use.
-
@ceruleanspark Well, for an extremely limited value of "real computer" anyway. Still, it's a real thing and I can't wait to touch one. Possibly with my genitals.
-
@ceruleanspark Sweet mother of god i want one
-
@purplephish20 I know right? The biggest problem with it is that it doesn't run real apps. However, Surface Pro, which is coming out in a few months does.
-
@ceruleanspark Oh god, I want a Surface.
-
@ceruleanspark Which device is it even? And how does it "not run real apps"?
-
@omni Microsoft Surface. Runs Windows 8 RT, which is the ARM build. Apps can only be installed into Windows 8 RT via the Metro App store, which has an approval process on par with Apples. The hardware is designed with secure boot enabled, so you can't even flash an alternat OS to it.
-
@scribble You want a Surface Pro. By all accounts, RT is just a depressingly beautiful disappointment.
-
@ceruleanspark I give the internet two weeks.
-
@eaglehooves To crack an AES signed bootloader? Yeah good luck with that one.
-
@ceruleanspark Oh jeez, it's not the usual "security" Windows is famous for.
-
@eaglehooves That's because microsoft didn't design UEFI.
