It's a cutthroat business, Kiddies....


Like the writer of this article says, "Welcome to the Tablet Wars!"

And 'sympathy' is in the dictionary between 'shit' and 'syphilis' and here we go again with another round of degradation of the language as those thumb-typers and their abbreviated acronyms and coded shit reduce English to slang and unintelligible gobbledegook. And I repeat: 90.8% of the world's computers at latest report are desktops, because that's where the real work gets done by those who are serious about it. It's probably going to take quite a long time to grow that 9.2% who type with their thumbs on piddly little pads into a truly significant number of semi-serious computer users capable of real work on those cute little toys, if in fact that's even actually possible - and we don't know that yet for sure. So far, all we're getting is a lot of spin-doctoring, wishful thinking, and conjecture - 'guesstimations' to you - and you can't take that to the bank, Kiddies. But stay tuned - this is going to be like watching those gladiators in ancient Rome, but with larger bets on the outcome.

Please note:
If you're wondering about these screenshots being truly full screen and how-come, it's because I'm getting them on Windows 8 which does this better than that previous O/S.....what's-its-name?  Oh, Yeah - Windows 7.....
