Windows 8 on Fujitsu convertible tablet.

I just finished installing Windows 8 Developer Preview on a Fujitsu convertible tablet. Well, none of the tablet button is working yet, and I might need a new stylus.

Fujitsu LifeBook T4215

  • Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 @ 1.66GHz
  • 4 GB of RAM

The Metro interface is so frustrating to use without a capacitive screen.

Microsoft confirms “Courier” project by killing it.

So many people were excited when Microsoft released pictures and videos of the fabled (and still imagined) Microsoft Courier, a dual screen Tablet Computer. At least one person was ultra-excited by it, namely Paul “The Microsoft P.R.” Thurrott.

Today has turned into a grim day for the fans of Microsoft Courier. According to our telepath-correspondence, Microsoft flag is flying half-staff in the residence of Paul Thurrott. Microsoft has officially killed the “Courier” project.

Based on another telepathic transmission from Microsoft Headquarter in Redmond, Washington, Microsoft will still be pursuing the tablet market. Microsoft wants to remind everyone that Microsoft introduced the term “Tablet PC” back in 2001. Microsoft assures the public that they will release another nifty videos of the next innovation in Tablet PC like device that will be running the fabulous Windows Operating System number 7 variant in the near future. Microsoft has not yet confirmed the cancelation date of the yet unannounced project. “Maybe sooner than you would ever expect,” thinks a Microsoft Executive.

Apple’s “Come see our latest creation.” Live Coverage links.

As usual, a lot of eyes will be glued to the screen during Apple Special Event. This time it would be no different. Apple’s “Come see our latest creation.” event begins at 10:00 AM Pacific Time on Wednesday 27th, 2010

Most of us do not get any invitations from Apple to the Special Event at Yerba Buena Center in San Francisco, thus we can “participate” by going to on or more of the followings:

I’ll add more links as they are found.

The “fake” info:

According to an imaginary source who claimed to be a high ranking Apple Executive that is definitely not Tim Cook, this new Apple “creation” would have the following:

  • 6.75-inch x 8.72-inch dimension, thickness was not disclosed.
  • 6.375-inch x 8.345-inch screen size.

So far, that was all the info given by this all-made-up-mysterious-Apple-Executive who is definitely not Phil Schiller. Remember that the nimber given was not an accurate measurement of the device itself due to some rounding errors.

Apple has been leaking out some fake info and we were foolish enough to report it even though we know they are fake. It will be narrower then the dimension we reported earlier. This we know, the new device Apple will be revealing on Wednesday will have the Apple logo in portrait orientation just like the iPhone. All in good fun.
