Today was somewhat nice for me in the morning, so I figured I'd open all my windows, then about 10 minutes after that it downpours with heavy winds... quite a bit of stuff got wet lol. The wind and rain stopped maybe 20 mins later.

I'm getting all that downpouring rain, and heavy winds as we speak.. Just hope it's over by morning. I got a 8:30 dentist appointment

they just shut down the OT thread in many other forums, much drama ensued

And as I mention in the op.. "lets give this a shot"..
This is like beta testing...

Haven't heard much... I can't imagine it running much better on the Nexus 10 than it did on the Nexus 7 anyway.. It... Ran... But to say it was usable as a daily driver would be a bold faced lie.. I'm curious how much they can actually trim the fat off Ubuntu without completely making it unrecognizable as a linux distribution.

lol

I can't imagine Ubuntu as-is on the N10... on one hand, it might be better because of the bigger screen, but I would also imagine stuff being super tiny due to the resolution. Maybe with a keyboard and mouse though... hmm

I've tried that surgeon simulator and it really does have the absolute worst control ever.

Here's another gameplay of the surgeon simulator.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2XkTIYhQC8
This video was absolutely hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing.

I finally completed a successful transplant.. The game gets old fast though.

Currently in south Africa watching the Africa cup of nations. I must say the quality hasn't been so good. There are few exceptions though with individual brilliance.

i have to agree with you, African Cup this year is not as interesting as the last two editions, Argelia and Morocco off the tournament only Drogma keeps my attention

The Vellamo Benchmark score was really impressive in Nexus 10.

So... Since I'm the one who requested this thread I should try adding a conversation topic huh?
What OS configuration is everyone running and why?
For me I'm dual booting Windows 8 and Debian testing w/ Mate Desktop
Windows 8 for gaming and it was cheap enough to buy. I'm impressed with it. Also Windows 8 because Tag And Rename and Photoshop are the only two programs I never found suitable replacements in Linux for. Wine sucks and refuse to even go that route..
Debian for everything else.. Soon as I'm done gaming it's right to Debian for browsing the web, music, playing w/ Android etc.

I'm gonna go off topic here, but that's the whole point of this thread, right? What do you guys think of the fact that Google only make their products available in certain countries on the Play Store? (US, UK, Australia etc) I live in Ireland and it sucks that I can't get my hands on a Nexus 4 or Nexus 10, unless I pay way more than Google puts it up for. What do you guys think?

Might have something to do with import/export laws/tariffs with the countries involved. Only a guess, but seems plausible.

New Amiga Tablets: Look Familiar?

Some of you may remember the old Commodore Amiga- It was a PC in the 80/90's that introduced things like multitasking, multimedia, and coprocessed graphics when they weren't commonplace and sold about 6 million units. The brand has long since died, although it still has a band of fanatical followers who insist it will rise again.
I was surfing the web and ran across this. Look familiar?

Heh awesome.
I wonder if they did any adjustments to the UI to make it more 'amiga -like' or their own launcher called "workbench".
I'd buy that.
So much nostalgia for Amiga, but then I guess I'm showing my age
OMG - Amiga adopted the G-Tablet!
Those specs are pretty much the G-tablet, right? Except they list an actual HDMI output and no full-sized USB host.
I had an Amiga 1000 in '85 and blew my friends away. Used it well into the '90s.
So ... a G-tablet with an Amiga ROM?
Interesting to say the least.
Did you guys know that someone has purchased Commodore and relaunched it as Commodore USA? Can't post a link but just google "Commodore USA"
Showing my age as well, I had one in HS and took it with me in the Navy. If anyone can pull that ROM and ports it to the G-Tab you'll make a lot of us ol'-timers happy. Perhaps a VEGAMIGA Rom? I can even see some vinyl design. I can perhaps setup some AI's for those with access to SignLab, or other cutting software - Lol.
Says OS is is 2.2 upgradeable to 3.0.
It's definately the GTab/Vega, and for $150 more than you can buy them for right now. I think I could buy an Amiga sticker a bit cheaper.
Based off of the info on the site, it's definitely Google Experience Android. The boot sequence on the 7" model looks cool, though:
Do they have a Vic 20 model (my first computer)? Maybe a 64 model?

Damnyou people are old.
Memory Lane
My family didn't have a lot of money when I was a kid so I couldn't afford an Amiga. Instead, I spent my summer job money on a Commodore 128 instead (with dual-sided floppy drive) and spent what was left over on my first car (1976 Plymouth Volare coupe V8) from a family friend. Ah... that brings back some really sweet memories...
I still have the 128. I haven't had the time to play with her in a few years and was looking for a good home for her since I can't give her the attention she deserves.
Original Amiga owner here (yeah old). Still have a boxed set.
In the news now is that The new Commodore is launching a c64 with new pc innards, blue ray etc. Looks just like the old one though, rumored to go around $700 to $800.
Saw that too. Rumoured to be a netbook in c64 clothing.
My family was soo poor that we could only afford the Texas Instraments TI-99a.
I remember spending a whole afternoon programming a polar bear walking across the screen. Then having no way to save my work after running it.
That and rhe knock off games of pacman and spy hunter.
Those were the days.

The photo that has been making the rounds of the new 64 that looks the same as the original 64 is incorrect. The new version looks pretty modern like other all-in-one PC's in a keyboard form factor.

No, that pic is accurate.
They are getting ready to offer 3 models. The C-64, the Vic-Pro and the VIC-Slim.
The Vic models looks a little more modern/sleek

I have been corrected. You are right. I had read an article about a week ago that said the updated C-64 was going to look like the VIC-Slim. I guess the author of that article had jumped the gun and reported crap. Thanks for clearing that up.
Speaking of the Amiga, did anyone ever get decent emulation running for the Android? I'd love to have Workbench on my Gtab for giggles.
Never had an Amiga, although my Uncle had a few and was a huge fan for a while.
Heh. My family was so poor, my first computer was a second hand Trash-80 from a garage sale.
Still got it, somewhere! Tape drive is kaput, though.

HP was emailing out surveys to a select few people people with questions such as, "How satisfied are you with your HP TouchPad?", "What do you want more of?" and, "How much did you pay for your TouchPad?”
Looks like it's full steam ahead for HP, lest we forget, HP is, in fact the largest PC maker in the world, they decided to keep their PC division, that means tablets too. And things haven't been slowing down for them either. First it was the Slate 2, then the Envy Laptop, and now there's rumors of a new TouchPad.
nice renders....
but if there is anything then it would be running windows 8 or something.
I got that survey too----i wouldn't read that much into it. It'd be nice, but I can't see them reversing themselves again

Dunno, looks pretty good, Microsoft may buy webOS to avoid other companies obtaining the patents. Microsoft has been rumored to be purchasing webOS patents, leading to what some believe to be a webOS/Microsoft hybrid.
http://www.informationweek.com/byte/commentary/personal-tech/tablets/231600600
This is a good thing because Microsoft wouldn't necessarily have to buy the patents outright. Whitman has already mentioned a "TouchPad 2.0" and I think the TP is deserving of a second chance now more than ever.
Web site from China mainland ?! how many % can be trust .......hahahaha........
Those images - photoshoppery fakishness.
Ask yourself. Has HP not been on the ball lately? New Slate. (Which is lovely by the way) New Laptop(s). Press Conferences. Site redesigns...
New slate? The Slate 2 is just a HP Slate 500 with a better gpu, and slower cpu, with the rest of the specs essentially the same(well its using a slightly newer n-trig digitizer, but nothing to make a current 500 upgrade). It has a lot of Slate 500 owner actually bothered that it took HP a year to bring out something that is more of the same, and didn't even wait to use the newer Atom N2800 cpu. Can't really say that a company on the ball, just a company not sure what to do until the consumer reaction to Windows 8 comes out.
This stuff is all made up, there is no way Microsoft would be involved in making some "Hybrid" of Windows 8, it's doesn't make any sense, Windows 8 and WebOS are competing platforms, they are not complementary to each other in the least. Also why would it be the Touchpad 3, there has only been one generation of the Touchpad.
Edit: a little bit of Googling reveals that no one else is talking about this, OP is creating his own "news".
There has been a 2nd Gen TouchPad, it was the 7-inch TouchPad Go.

Looks pretty nice... for that is most likely a made up device. At this point I think it all BS and/or wishful thinking.
How much do we really know about Windows 8 being tested on TouchPads?
Nobody ever said anything about that story and it's everywhere.
But that's besides the point: Are you telling me that, when the whole Windows 8 tablet evolution happens, that HP, the biggest PC maker in the world, is not going to make a tablet with Windows 8 on it for consumers?
Now, that would be crazy. It was wise for HP to halt production of the TP1, Windows 8 is right around the corner.
I bet the TP3 is already made.

From the data in the image you uploaded it would appear that you just created it in Photoshop and it's a bad Photoshop at that.
Stop trolling.
None of that is even the topic at hand lol,
It's part of the whole process when a device is produced, all screen images are simulated. Have you seen a Galaxy Tab commercial lately or a Nokia commercial, or any commercials?? lol
I digress ...
I'd like Windows 8 tablets as is, but integrated webOS sounds like a really good idea, since Microsoft was supposed to have been purchasing the patents anyway.
The question is: Would the TP3 be able to compete with the iPad 3? Of course.
HP would have an excuse to sell it at a high price point. Microsoft gets those patents to save their OS from being a bunch of boring blocks, and suffering the same fate as their Windows phones. So it works for everybody, on the corporate side at least lol!
Sure HP may make a Window 8 tablet, but that as nothing to do with WebOS or the TouchPad.
I'm patient and for the new tablet, and not shoot it down so quickly.
HP may be deciding how exactly this is supposed to play out. Is it going to be dual boot, is it going to be hybrid, what new features it will have..
They've mentioned the possibility of webOS becoming part of their product line as in computers and tablets, but everything they've said, has all been in support of it, so I like what I see.
Honestly, I'm more excited for this than I am for them continuing webOS just by itself. It's more than profitable for them.
I will keep you informed and I will update you.

lol sorry but if you want a high quality tablet, this is not for you.. this is a great tablet to jump into the tablet game because of the low-cost but comeon now... its not that powerful..
Hahaha these little crap tablets give Android a bad name! They're saturating the market with low-price, low functionality tablets that virtually NO ONE wants. When it comes to cheap tablets I'm pretty sure the Fire and the Nook will be king (but mostly the Fire), so there's really no reason to have these things. They give ifans a reason to bash Android IMO.
This actually looks better than the Fire to me. I might be a buyer for my 7 year old...Why not? It doesn't look terrible. Wonder if it is completely 100% lead-free? lol
I'm cool with this. Cheaper tablets give us more options. There are people who basically just want a tablet to read ebooks and play the occasional angry birds. That's what's Android all about. Having options.
LOL, looks like asus slacked for too long and got beat by some cheap china tablet company...
You snooze, U loose!
Ohwell, atleast when the prime finally does come out it will have ICS hopefully right around the corner, and hopefully it will make the diffrence we all been looking for.
That chinglish makes my head ache, coming from a Chinese guy.
Lol, Asus is pissed already, but this will kick it
But unfortunatly there are no measurments on the page.
It looks pretty thick.
So what are the dimensions, how much does it weight?
Also it says it is already sold out when I click to order it.

well, it isn't the first Craplet device..
Different options for different budgets. That's not such a bad thing. But keep in mind this $100 tablet comes with a $60 shipping charge that makes it not so great afterall.

Welcome to XDA,
Personally I like more Windows 10, less hassle if you don't have a new computer.

I've installed and running official Windows 11 ( not any trial version ) and I'm very content with it.
BTW: Windows 11 comes with less bloatware than Windows 10. Nevertheless I've debloated it

will say have among other things disabled all Telemetry services that take up a huge amount of resources in the background.
Bought a Surface Pro 8 with it. I like it, MS has done a god job improving the tablet/touch experience and improving the UI, without ruining it for desktop use like their attempt with Win 8.
Still, some quirks in the touch experience where it's not quite as seamless as Android, I hope they keep working on that.
Windows 11 is really good but not if you just have a 4GB ram device.
Earlier it was even worse. Usage used to go till 90% or so but now with some apps uninstalled, its better.
When idle, usage is 60-70%
With Windows 10, I never had any much issues.
Also I used to love the taskbar on left or top more than bottom, but Microsoft fixed what wasn't broken!
Windows 11 is awesome, much better than Windows 10. I wouldn't necessarily say that it is the best Windows version overall, but I will say that it's cleaner, less bloated, and easier to do most things, especially in tweaking, modding, and fine-tuning certain features.
There's still some things I gripe about, like the constant push for people to use Microsoft Edge, and Windows Update forcing you to download and install updates every Tuesday (when there's the potential of installing a bad update). However, that was true in Windows 10 too, so Win 11 is still the better of the two.

I don't like Windows 11, but Windows 10 is great.
I believe Windows 10 is still the best I tried windows 11 but not satisfied :/
I start using it from pre-release on beta channel. It works more smooth than Windows 10. Now with final release I am really confident on it.
More option, beautiful interface design, incredible stability (from beta version), an amazing compatibility on drivers with Windows 10 and, not the last, less resources consumption than 10.
My big surprise was many options in settings were completely re-designed as whole Settings interface.

I too am in beta and tbh there are almost no bugs at all! I also found that performance is better with beta version.
Windows 11 is certainly getting better because of the updates specially January 2022 update. For a gaming perspective there's not much to say or much gain either.
Always hated Windows 10 - and resisted it for as long as I possibly could. W11 fixes nearly all of the things that bugged me in W10.
Effectively, I'm going from W7 to W11. Looks better, feels more orthogonal.
PROVIDED you install StartALL to get rid of the horrendous 'Start' thing...
Windows 11 Home Version official
and to me its nicer than window 10
it has some minor bugs but i still prefer it on windows 10
i also installed windows subsystem for Android and so far its really great
The major change is in UI part I know there are a lot changed and as android is also molded in it but still as a normal person major change is UI and as a software engineer there's a lot have been changed and now you can have better control to your OS
I think windows 11 is better than windows 10. For example, animation is added to the menu bar。
Windows 11 is better for me. Aside from a couple of bugs which I resolved fairly easy it's working great. The only thing I really miss is the folder preview thumbnails and ability to drag the task bar around. I regularly used to drag it from bottom, top, left, all around. Can't do that anymore. have to edit registry and restart which is a shame.
the yield of 10 wines is higher than 11 or 8.1. the appearance of the 11th is prettier, but the lack of a dark theme in 8.1 is a loss.

Windows XP vs Windows 7

Of these two versions of Windows, in your opinion, which one is the best?
XPx64 hands down.
Personally, i loved Windows 7 more, even if XP is an really good Windows, Windows 7 have more functions that later were really useful for me, i'm even still using Windows 7

Now I have to admit that XP was really the best.
The system was quite reliable and stable. And the failures were mostly due to drivers, which not everyone learned how to write back then, or to hardware.
Most of the games that came out with XP worked fine with both 7 and 10. There was and is such a game - Unreal Tournament 99. It still works on all systems without installation (including LINUX). A server can be created by almost any user on his computer. There are a lot of such servers on the internet even now. You do not need to pay any game sites.
At this time, the monopolist decided to simplify the task of making money by introducing artificial restrictions. This is just my opinion.

XPx64 was sublime. Used to run with no antivirus and it was fast. Drivers weren't really an issue for me.
Side by side errors was a common problem but easily corrected by adding the missing MS library. Some developers had forgot to include the 64 version on their installation CD

XP was horrible. For one, it was ugly. It devoured resources. Had severe security issues. Slow as hell... just 12

Xp×64, full load used 563mb of ram.
What's 12 using?
In 2006-10 a reboot would fry whatever 32 bit malware that was living in the ram. That was fun. Never had security issues with it behind a hardware/software firewalls.

WinXP most computers had about 4GB ram at the very most. If that?? Today's machines use up to 64GB. Mine has 32. So RAM usage is negligible.
Thanks to Windows Defender, no one HAS to do a reboot to fry Malware - nor do any 3rd party programs need to run to provide security, other than the VPN many people use for privacy

The point was it was light and efficient, very little bloat. Windows is a mess today. W7 was the last known good version
XPx64 was Windows zenith though.
MS pretty much has been a zombie since.
God forbid you need a reboot That went right over your head, humor. Even then it boot time was 26 seconds or less.
Hello
to have used both versions of windows I find windows 7 much better than xp, if we look closer most of the old pc today are on seven and run wonderfully

XP was never 26 seconds or less, not on an HDD anyway. Mine on a 500GB SSD boots quite quickly, when I'm on my Windows side of the dual boot
7 was the best of both worlds.
I'm now using 10 LTSC (x64) (Build 1809) (2019) which feels like one of the last Windows OSes without unwanted bloatware, it's almost like 7 reskinned as 10 just with what's needed. I love that.
The optics from Windows XP was the best, thats why i am using Win Aero Tweaker and the software Openshell (former Classicshell) on Windows 10 and 11, see sample...

Yeah it was... XPx64 running on 4 raptors in a Raid 0 configuration. I timed it out enough times.
Windows Vista was the best, followed by Windows ME.
Windows 7 for sure, i love the UI, It was pretty fast, theres also many workarounds to running it on new hardware, even I did them
