“I’m sorry but how did I get your Microsoft panties in a Wad.”

It was a connectivity issue you ifag fagboy. It was in the article.

Really, is this your argument? Do you really believe the sidelines for teams use the same public network that the entire Stadium uses? Or that even each team and sideline uses the same network and/or subnet? Really?

And the OS has to be locked down as well. The NFL takes very seriously the fact that these tablets cannot be modified to give any team an advantage others may not have through the use of technology. Microsoft told me that the tablet uses the assigned access mode that allows the Surface to run only one application, which in this case is the sideline viewing system. Access to any of the additional Windows features or settings is blocked.

Don't believe everything you read hook, line and sinker genius.

If the network at the stadium during the game was down, then it would have affected many people and not just these few Microsoft tablet. It's sort of like a power outage since they are all on Wifi.

My bet is they had to reboot their Microsoft Surfaces to get them to reconnect to the WiFi. Problem solved! So it was a hardware issue (the Microsoft Tablets) and NOT a network issue.

Again if it's a network, then it affects everyone and not just a few tablets.
