We were talking about the Surface and iPad

Naaaaah!
We are talking about this quote of yours, from your post # 104, and I quote :”Microsoft simply is copying the work of others, while Apple is the pioneer”

You will notice that my post # 105 was in direct response to hat quote of yours.
But hey if you want to talk about the Surface versus the iPad, bring it on! The surface's highly innovative, 3 mm thin Touch Cover is vastly more innovative than the dumb piece of plastic cover of the iPad. How about that?

You are obfuscating the discussion, cherry-picking a portion of my statement and throwing in extraneous information not related to the rebuttal.

Here's a few sentences from my rebuttal:

"Microsoft even copied the same talking points as Steve Jobs used in his demonstration the year before. That's copying!
Microsoft simply is copying the work of others, while Apple is the pioneer.
For instance, patent US6030229 filed by Apple in 1998 and issued in 2000 for "an electromagnetic detachable connector"...

So again, I was correct in saying we were talking about the Surface and iPad. Your response had nothing that was a direct response. Your brain is fried.

The surface's highly innovative, 3 mm thin Touch Cover is vastly more innovative than the dumb piece of plastic cover of the iPad. How about that?

Oh, one more thing...
That cover I have on my iPad 2 is leather, not plastic. And it's actually a quite clever invention by Apple. It's detachable, and can prop up the iPad in seven different positions between landscape and portrait orientations. How many positions can the kickstand on Surface handle? Answer: two. As a matter of fact, the lead article from Information Week that this thread stems from, notes a shortcoming on page two.

"The stand does look ideal for landscape-mode viewing. But how well will it work in portrait mode?"

All through out this thread, you denied the fact that anyone uses portrait mode. However, the author of the article felt it important enough to mention working in portrait mode, and raised concerns about this shortcoming of the kickstand. So you really don't know much, not even about the article you posted. Real smart. Not.
