Microsoft’s Cheap Shot At The iPad Actually Points Out Exactly Why The Surface Sucks
Author: Christen Arquette
Being behind in a market sucks, and it’s understandable to want to lash out at the top dog, as Microsoft has shown it’s willing to do with Google in search and email, and now with Apple in tablet computers. A brand new Surface ad pits the iPad against Microsoft’s Windows 8 tablet, in an attempt to show how much more versatile the Surface is vs. the iOS device.
Microsoft uses Siri’s voice (which isn’t difficult, given that it’s a fairly generic computer-generated female tone) to highlight what the Surface can do that the iPad can’t, including things like live tiles (it took me a couple views to figure out what “I don’t update like that” even meant), Windows Snap multitasking, and… PowerPoint. Then finally we get a price comparison, showing the much cheaper price tag for the Surface RT.
The problem is that not only is the Siri construct weak and her actual lines poorly written, but the abilities Microsoft chooses to highlight show exactly why it doesn’t “get” the tablet market. People aren’t looking for multitasking PowerPoint slide deck-creating machines; they have computers for that.
The closing bit here is maybe the worst part; showing that Apple’s iPad can easily provide a remarkably realistic experience for playing Chopsticks on the screen is not the way to trash your competition, especially if you noticeably can’t offer up an equivalent experience on your own hardware. Apple uses that in its own ads for a reason, and that’s to highlight the magical, delightful experiences users can have on its device. Countering that with a bunch of sober (though admittedly useful) features isn’t the way to turn the tide back in your favor.

You cannot get free Wii Points. The only way to get the Internet Channel for free is build a time machine to go back in time to when it was free. Wii Points cards are $ 20 for 2000 points.

After Everyone Points Out iPhone Will Be Cheaper Than Galaxy S4 On AT&T, Carrier Claims A Mulligan
Author:
AT&T has issued a clarification on its Galaxy S4 pricing via the unique method of a small statement in a footnote to an earlier post. Previously, AT&T had announced via its consumer blog on March 28 that it would be offering the Galaxy S4 starting at $ 249.99 with pre-orders beginning April 16. Now, it has amended that post to add that that’s for the 32GB model, with the 16GB version priced cheaper at $ 199.99 on a two-year agreement.
The move comes a full five days after the initial post, and after a number of bloggers, analysts and news publications pointed out that Apple’s iPhone 5 would be cheaper on a two-year contract than the Galaxy S4 on AT&T’s network. It seems bizarre to have the clarification come so long after what ended up being a very widely covered pre-order announcement, which was also followed by the news that the HTC One would also come in cheaper than the Galaxy S4 starting at $ 200 with a two-year term.
It’s odd enough to make me wonder whether the change in pricing and available storage options is the result of a decision after the fact by either Samsung, AT&T or the two together to offer the 16GB product SKU as a way to achieve price parity with flagship phones from competing manufacturers. I’ve contacted AT&T to learn more about why it neglected to mention the $ 199.99 16G Galaxy S4 option in its original post, and will update if they respond.
The bottom line for buyers is that the Galaxy S4 will launch on an even playing field with the HTC One and the iPhone 5 in terms of entry-level pricing at AT&T, which means price won’t be a factor when it comes time to choose a new flagship phone from one of the most interesting players in the mobile market.

ASUS MWC teaser points to ‘metallic miracle,’ alien invasion (video)
Author: Mark Jeffries
MWC hype is in full swing, and ASUS has just released the coolest teaser we’ve seen so far. It depicts a shiny spaceship landing on Barcelona cathedral in Spain, shot from the perspective of baffled onlookers. We’re just as perplexed, and have only got the phrases “ultimate craftsmanship” and “the metallic miracle” to dwell on. Will we see some form of chromed-out device later this month, or is ASUS planning world domination with some extraterrestrial allies? Let’s hope it’s the former, but we’ll just have to hide wait and see. Check the 30-second teaser vid below — Will Smith’s on standby.

Hacker allegedly leaks Verizon FiOS customer data, Big Red points the finger at marketing firm
Author: Alexander McQueen
Verizon clients saw a flash of enjoyment this weekend when a claimed hacker declared to have pilfered personal data for some 3 million of its wireless clients. Twitter individual TibitXimer shared 300,000 names from the file, declaring to have collected them as early as July 12th. According to Verizon, the potential hacker’s claims are bunk– the dripped information has actually been readily available for months, and it’s occupied by Verizon FiOS customers. More notably, Verizon says that its servers weren’t hacked at all.
“There was no hack, and no access obtained,” it said in a statement to The Next Web “A third party advertising company slipped up and information was copied.” Verizon says the hole was stated to authorities months ago, and firmly insists that current claims are imprecise and overstated. Yes, protection researcher Adam Caudill recalls seeing the file back in August, suspecting this is most likely a file dripped from a telemarketing company. Regardless TibitXimer’s account has actually vanished from the social network, demonstrating, if nothing else, that Twitter is major about its Count on & Safety policies.Com mentsSource: The FollowingInternet
