Source please? I haven't seen anything saying that.

Windows RT is the closed version making the OS more like iOS, Windows 8 is the basic version for the home market and contains the Windows marketplace so it is like OSX minus the bells and whistles, the main difference is that Windows 8 has been built around the marketplace whereas the mac app store is easily to ignore. You then have the Pro and Enterprise versions.

I'm neither pro Mac or pro PC (I prefer mac) but I think its silly that Windows are moving away from there strongest selling point.

Got caught in the rain today. Made the mistake of wearing slippery shoes (which got even more slippery when wet), then walked across a slippery floor a bit too quickly. Did a crazy arms flailing dance in order to right myself.  :D At least the people in that store were amused at my slippery antics.

Bet I'm the only person in this entire thread to use the word 'slippery' so often in one post, up until now.  ;D

The mother of all battles is expected by some in Syria.
Odd that, I'm sure there was a mother of all battles in Iraq not that long ago.
There had been lots of battles through history before these two mothers.
Maybe they have a belief in circular time or a funny concept of motherhood.

So... Who is betting on what?

Me, I think it can go either way, but I'd like to see government forces win this one. I always cheer for the government forces.

One must surely be the grandmother of all battles then.

If I had a mother who threw me in the water and expected me to learn how to swim in less than a minute, I would call her 'Battle'. ::)

The Olympic opening ceremony is going on and is really good.

I enjoyed it also. Particularly that little bit with Rowan Atkinson at the piano and on the beach.  :D

And man, was the choreography good in general for all the stage stuff!
