i hate PC's

Microsoft unveils coffee table 'surface computer'

Software maker will introduce a coffee-table-shaped computer that has a 30-inch display, allowing people to touch and move objects on the screen.


everyone knows i hate pc's and windows and whatnot. so, yeah, microsoft has created a "touch screen" computer, but...it's the size and shape of a coffee table??? now seriously, who wants something that large? everything in our consumerist world wants small! this thing is HUGE! and, since it's in the shape of a coffee table, it's stationary, and the screen is not adjustable. therefore, you're stuck looking down on it. that's not very comfortable is it? it is a great step forward, but it just doesn't seem practical. i mean, i like my screen at an angle so you're looking at it and kind of down at it at the same time. and this you're stuck looking down at it like you look down at your feet when you're standing up. that's not so very comfortable or good for your neck. and...what if someone used it as a coffee table by mistake? no good. but enough of that.

i think that my previous post of me being shallow has been busted. i'm really really really annoyed with certain people right now. and i would post more about it, but don't feel like it right now, and i'd need a privacy filter on here. so, if anyone has any suggestions, lemme know.

I think it's supposed to be like a home control system or something like that. Videos, music and shit. Not like a word processing, graphics intensive workstation. Regular desktops and laptops will always have their place. UMPCs never really took off as predicted. Hell, I don't know that I've ever seen one in the wild.
