Another game of Kingdom Builder, plus Hawaii, Oasis, and Ticket to Ride: Team Asia.

Once you have all of the drivers loaded (the Apple ones should have been installed by the BootCamp process) you should have right-click with a two-finger click.

Did you skip my posts on centralized management and distribution?

Hate that, bummer. Yeah, it sounds like it would be a pretty big deal to integrate with what you have, and not necessarily worth it. I was more just letting you know that there is quite a lot of enterprise adoption of late, and it's not necessarily individuals controlling their own devices (and...

No, that's just a local device configuration tool. The iPad in Business: Mobile Device Management in iOS page provides an overview, and the associated PDF provides more details. A variety of third-party MDM servers provide additional services and specific enterprise integration; many of them...

While it doesn't meet all of your needs (definitely no IE, your vendors may one day support it but obviously may not now), the enterprise program does provide centralized management and distribution, rules-based lockdown of most features (including keeping individuals from adding apps), a...

Ah, gotcha, good to know. Laughable for developers, then, too. More so than Apple, really.

Out of genuine curiosity, what's wrong with it? I've recommended it as a possible solution for one of my clients, based only on what I've read so far. What are its limitations or issues?

Same here. Agreed, which is why I suspect WOW would have to be re-engineered for ARM (and again, for working well without a keyboard), and if you're going to do that, it seems like making an iPad version would be your higher priority since it's touch, it's ARM, and there are some 90 million...

If there will be Intel tablets, I'll be curious to see what the ratio is compared to ARM, and how popular they'll be. They will, if nothing else, suffer significantly in the battery department. Conceptually, yes, but WOW is pretty keyboard intensive. As such, I'd think a touch rewrite would be...

Yeah, it really is too long with 7, and 6 is even too long for me. Five players who are experienced players makes for a quick game, but if there are any new players then four is about all I can take anymore. It's a fun game if it's fast, but really loses its shine when it slows down, in my...

While they'd have windows system calls in common, I'm not certain that rewriting it for ARM under Windows would be that much easier than for iOS. Depends a lot on how WOW is written, but understand that Windows 8 will run on Intel processors on laptops/desktops and ARM processors on tablets...

Only if Blizzard rewrites WOW for a touch interface and an ARM processor. If they were going to do that, they'd surely do it for the iPad first anyway, no?

I'm pretty sure I'm missing something with your setup (and Alan's), mine must be different. On mine, on any screen with a list of messages I can just pull the list down and a search box appears. Perhaps it's related to what mail service the mail is coming from? This is a gmail account on the...

I'm writing a blog post about it now so I won't go into great depth here, but a larger app store helps in several ways: Vertical App Availability: You touched on this; if you want an app that helps you with certain embroidery knots, for example, a larger app store is both more likely to have...

For what it's worth, that's certainly not my viewpoint. Android phones and tablets are certainly better for some people, even much better for certain people. My opinion is, though, that for the vast majority of people the iPad is the best option. If ICS had come out two years ago and, as a...

Your test for rationality is based on the idea that this list of hardware differences makes that tablet better. I would argue that those are trivial differences, that what makes a tablet better is in fact a good OS and the available apps. With ICS on less than 1% of Android tablets, it doesn't...

Saying that the new iPad would sell in "stupidly high" numbers was certainly condescending. It was that very condescension that prompted my posting at all.

Depends on a whole lot of factors; in his situation as I see it, you bet it do. Hard to believe, I'm sure, but when I saw my best friend die violently I didn't feel like having sex for weeks. Never got horny once when my brother was on his deathbed, either. Maybe, just maybe, we're not all...

Hilarious!
