I think you mean 'God'. And I spotted two minor errors on the whole page. Hardly 'appalling'. Can I suggest you make use of the fine summer weather and find something more interesting to do with your Saturday?

How to use the Windows 8 app store

You got to be kidding, right? No search? And even presuming you don't find the one swipe Search charm, you cannot Google "Windows 8 Search"?

I really don't know what the fuss is about its took me a couple of hours to get to grips with and if you want the start button menu there's plenty of 3rd party apps out there that give you that and the start menu and some give you the option the bypass the tiled start screen some people seem just to lazy to learn

Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Apple iPhone 5 comparison review

I'm going with the latter. Re "battery draining", didn't you notice even in this review the S4's battery consistently lasted 2 days while the I5 only lasted 1? Maybe next time he might actually read the review before he jumps in with his 2 cents.

I guess I'd "better have an SD card with the S4" Hmmm....OMG, that might cost $30! (for 32 additional Gb) How could I possibly afford that???

Yeah, definitely going with "stupid".

Samsung Galaxy S4 vs Apple iPhone 5 comparison review

The most amazing thing, whenever I read about the beautiful aluminum and glass case of the iphone, is that as soon as people get their phones they immediately slap them in a otterbox cover. Thereby negating that feature completely.

Now, let's get to the phones, to continually compare things to the iphone 5 is not unlike comparing a brand new, state of the art Lamborghini to a 2012 ford Taurus (if they cost the same). Sure, the Taurus is a fine automobile, but in terms of features, speed, etc. etc. etc. there is NO comparison. The only people who would but the taurus are die hard fans of ford (of which there are admittedly many, though less and less every quarter).

Hell, the previous older Galaxy S3 was still outselling the brand new iphone 5 in Q1, 2013. What does that tell you about the newest iphone?

The new processor blows away the iphone. Yes, there may be lots of "bloatware" on the S4, but a lot of said bloatware are actually incredibly new software features that might not be used by all (clearly this reviewer as an example). Some of those new features completely alter the myriad of ways a smartphone can be now used. Samsung is miles ahead of apple in terms of innovation.

The other thing about how much memory is being used by the samsung system files, at least it's as easy as buying a new sim card and increasing the memory of the phone whereas with the iphone, not an option. For the record, a 32gb sim card costs less than $30.

Speaking of innovation, apple is still using an OS that isn't massively "better" than the original OS on their first phones from 2007. Itunes is expensive and so incredibly proprietary. Meanwhile Android is constantly evolving getting better and better with each new iteration.

I could go on and on (and on) about every way the S4 is better, but then this "comment" would be significantly longer than the original review. To be completely honest, for the life of me I can't understand why everything gets thrown up against the iphone to compare, when the competition has simply moved on. Apple, on the other hand, simply hasn't.

Surface Pro review - if Microsoft can't make the perfect Windows 8 hybrid laptop and tablet, who can?

135 comments, most recent: Matt Egan said on : "

With respect there isn't a 'user community' in the UK and, frankly, not much of one in the world. No matter: I don't understand what's wrong with the review - even by your terms. The Surface Pro is portable PC with excellent performance and portability. But you compromise on the keyboard and battery life. The build quality isn't perfect and it runs hot. And it's expensive. If you need a truly portable full-spec PC it is about as good as it gets right now - but it's not perfect. Therefore it gets four stars: good but not perfect. Is any of that unfair?
And, for the record, I now have a Surface Pro in my possession. At the time I initially wrote the review I didn't because it wasn't out here in the UK. I will update the review if my experiences change. But if you are suggesting that I have to own a product in order to review it I think you are mistaken.

I think it's another classic example how reviewers miss the point. You can't test a product for a couple of days and post a review on it. Funny how people who actually bought the product and have it used for quite some time have a different view. I don't know what more you want from a product. Surface offers more then any other tablet in the market right now. It boils down to does the user community approve and reading these comments they do.

It took some time for support to pinpoint the correct USB drivers. Still awaiting monitor resolution. Good buy if everything works - but is it worth the hassle?"
