Alas without the 3-finger drag gesture on the Surfacebook, it's a non-starter for me. It's horrifying to think that even though the hardware supports it, that gesture is patented and cannot be used.
I am sorry, does anyone know how to navigate this comment page??? I can't even find the 2nd comment. The first comment has tons of replies and I have scrolled 30 pages and cant even find the 2nd comment.
There are now collapseable comments. Just click on the [-]. This works at any level of hierarchy. Of course, you need JavaScript enabled for that to work.
Could the transition start by having a 30 hour work week, for example? If I work 40+ hours and a certain percentage of my income goes towards sustaining the unemployed, I would far rather work fewer hours and give that work to an unemployed person.
The comment page is basically broken without this feature. I rarely get to the even the 3rd comment when the first comment has many responses. Please allow collapsable comment trees.
This is a laughably stupid idea. Trying to stay ahead of geometric growth is always a losing battle. Instead of turning humans to Smurfs, why don't we try to control the birth-rate instead.
Better yet, let's form a mega human from all normal sized humans. Things like terra-forming, deploying satellites, war, choosing what to watch on netflix would be easily solved. Birth control would be replaced by portion control.
A laptop that doesn't have great trackpad interface is a non-starter. Really looking forward to trying out the Microsoft laptop in person. But still using my 2010 macbook pro and smooth-as-glass scrolling is a minimum bar.
"The other half of the typical notebook interaction is done with the trackpad, and here Microsoft has delivered one of the best trackpads on any Windows PC."
"With that one quirk aside, anyone who uses a Surface Book is likely going to be very happy with the trackpad experience."
"The surface is glass, which makes it very smooth and easy to glide your finger over."
The scrolling in Chrome is a major concern for me though. After using Apple trackpads it is downright painful to use Windows hardware and scrolling. Microsoft needs to nail these software issues in order to compete, because in terms of hardware, they're vastly superior to Apple right now. I hope they don't squander that advantage.
Scrolling between browsers always seems like an issue for me, even with a mouse. I'll configure Firefox, and then Chrome/IE/Safari will be too fast or not fast enough.
