So Microsoft made a laptop - Surface Pro 4 / Surface Book

by Simon in

microsoft definitely seem to be undergoing a revival and are coming out with some cool tech.

it's good to see them turning things around and keeping apple honest.. the holo-lens looks fantastic - much better than full vr headsets by providing augmented reality instead (imagine 3d minecraft projected on a table or aliens running round your living room to shoot at).. more practical though is the update to the surface tablet and the surprise release, the surface book laptop / tablet.

yeah, it's confusing - one is a tablet that becomes a laptop and the other is a laptop that becomes a tablet.. i promised our eldest a laptop for his high-school graduation and to use now he's starting university and took him to the apple store a few months ago but the macbooks i was leaning towards weren't available at the time.

Thought of buying a Surface book for software dev and some Illustrator/Photoshop stuff but when I saw the price, it was too much. I think I'm going to wait a bit. I'm really looking forward to the Microsoft Band 2. Time for a second job, more reasons to skip the meetings lol 😈

What is your purpose or what do you wish to accomplish while a member of this board?

by Tenacious in

when i joined this forum i was seeking more people who felt the same way i did in terms of seeing the jehovah's witness organization for what it truly was; a false prophet.. once i found like-minded members i slowly started to open up and participate more in trying to help others that were also exiting mentally and physically.

today, i offer support to anyone who desires it regardless of what they believe or not believe.. so what is your purpose on this board?.

support?

During my dark teen days I felt so bad that I wanted to just end my life and be done with it. I found this forum and a lot of the members were very supportive. Now I'm studying at Uni Computer Science and I'm happy because soon i'll be able to fade away and never return to the cult. I hope I can return the favor to anyone who needs help. Thank you <3

JW.ORG Website Reviews

seems like a nice website.... http://www.webwiki.com/jw.org.

...it's got some good reviews ;).

interesting that jw.org appears to be hosted by amazon web services and based in amsterdam..

I wonder if they use cloud based solutions. I imagine their monthly bandwidth bill isn't cheap when you have a website where a tons of people visit and download stuff n let's not forget their video and streaming site.

A call from family - Armageddon this month!

by kaik in

i very seldom receive a call from my jw siblings, i mean seldom.

i can count them on my hand in past 10 years.

while we talk about mom a lot and i am in touch with her, i was very surprised when i received this call.

That was pretty funny. Poor people, my mother is the same, keeps saying that the end is imminent and that the signs are more clear than crystal water.
