I'm a lil surprised Allen hasn't done this same thing. I know the Blazers use Apple Ipad's to teach and instruct it's players.
Hahahaha, could you actually imagine telling Blake Griffin he can't use his iPhone anymore. He'd probably demand a trade right then and there.
So Steve wouldn't let me do this on his plane?#MacLifeFAMS Sent from my Baller-Ass 5.5" iPhone 6+......... FAMS
I understand the organizational shift; he is the leader/owner of the org after all, but DAMN making his family do it too? Fucking-a; get a life dude they can live theirs freely. Windows phones fucking suck, and so does your new shitty Windows 8/8.1 OS. People like Iphone and Android because they work, and tile-based screens suck! What's the deal with animated gif's annoyingly shitting up my screen. ok rant off, lol.
Allen probably wants his team to use the best available. Fatal flaw on Ballmer's part. Can't let your emotions get involved, sheesh.
I've been using Windows 8.1 for 3 months now and I haven't had a single problem. Not sure what Windows 8.0 was like but 8.1 is fine.
The Blazers should hire some 13 year old to hack the LAC tablets whenever we play them. Heck - just give the kid a free seat behind the Blazers bench and he can feed them all of the Clipper's plays all game long!
Windows 8 is great with a touchscreen, without that it sucks pretty hard. Haven't played with the windows phones, but if I was the CEO of microsoft Id lay the ban hammer down on my family also, no matter how crappy the phones were. The NFL portion of the story is pretty damn funny though.
Windows phone 8.1 is pretty neat. Cortana is great - it is a nice combination of Siri's playfulness with Google Now's usefulness. As an OS, I would still say that iOS and Android are better than Windows Phone 8.1 - but Cortana is great, the UI is fantastic and if you have a Nokia 1020 - the camera is as good as it gets. I have a Moto X, a Lumia 1020 and an iPhone 5 (we write software for them all). The one I happen to take the most is the Lumia. Mostly because of the camera, but still.
Surface Pro 3 is pretty legit. Been using it for a couple of months. I'm not a hardcore user, but it does everything I need (I'm more of an Office/business type than an app type, so I'm unqualified on that front) in a way better form factor than my old laptop
Here's my gripe, Windows 8 Adopters: I know the OS works, with a touch device. The biggest issue I have is them forcing that shitty "metro" style interface down to the corporate OS structure, for Desktops/Workstations, etc. It's a complete shitpile to work on without touch. Then, on top of that, they give you stupid annoying animated .gif-like "tiles" to irritate you while you stare at this screen of rainbow colored squares. Like seriously, its a fisher price square button menu. What gives? The email tile is a picture of a animated envelope or the stocks are a picture of an animated chart, like seriously no shit? It's just not needed, it just feels dumbed-down. I don't need sample pictures/animations to remind me what things do. So with that said, why do you need the tile interface? It reminds me of someone with a thousand icons on their desktop. LOL Windows 8 touch or non-touch = Too much clutter, to much bloat on the main interface. Keep. it. simple. stupid.
I'm right there with you Blue. When I got my new computer (non touch screen) with that fucked up seizure-inducing, app sucking (P)OS, I came damn close to bashing it into a thousand pieces. The most frustrating was opening an image from an email, then trying to print or save it (you can't), or even close the damn "app". My next computer will not be Windows based unless they change that shit.
"Entertaining yourself" on the company bed while streaming porn on your MacBook and talking to hottiegirls.com on your iPone?? I suppose he might have a problem with that.
Windows 8 is the worst OS since Win ME. I've never thought of an Apple product for computing before but I'm going to give it serious consideration when I get my new lap top in a few weeks.
