Nice tablet! Didn't see a camera as an option, I'm glad people that take pictures with their tablets look like idiots.

Courtesy of a legacy system that encrypted passwords (since retired) at CMU, scientists were able to compare the relative strength of peoples passwords[^] by major. CS Students, followed by other scientists, and engineers picked the strongest passwords. Business majors picked the weakest.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Anyone else had the latest Android keyboard update pushed out to your tablet yet?
I already hate it: all the punctuation has moved, and I can't find anything... why aren't ' and " and - on the main page anymore?
What happened to shift and punctuation? Gah!

Yeah, I absolutely hate it. Worse, the update added a redundant shortcut bar at the bottom of my screen, neither of which can be removed. Execution also appears more jumpy.
I tried to roll it back, ended up doing a factory reset and losing all of my data, and in the end was forced to reinstall the new OS and learn to live with it. I was NOT a happy camper.

Long ago went with SwiftKey. Loved it, bought the full version.

It changed on SwiftKey yesterday - the numbers are now to the left of the punctuation.

You should get a blackberry, there the keyboard never moves...
I truly have not tested any 10 device, but the 9300 I own is an old phone very limited and sometimes it gets frozen...

The Android phone (a Galaxy Ace) I used to own had a strong tendency towards that now-so-fancy fisherprice-ish look

I thought it was swiftkey that had done that on my Galaxy 4S.
So it turns out it was Google - the bar stewards!
It was mighty annoying for a while as I tried to find the numbers as they were to the right with punctuation to the left.
They violated one of the, as far as I am concerned, inviolable rules of UI design - don't change the frickin' user interface input method without the consent of the user!

I use the one that comes with Google PinYin input; it's a lot better than the vanilla one, and less likely to be messed with.

Why is Dells online support such an Elephant-er to get to, the PC I'm trying to get an image for is not registered here, there or any-ELEPHANTING-where. (I know it is I registered it!). All I need is a hard drive image I can restore to the machine down grade it to XP reinstall my software and go. But no, it is an obsolete machine that is no-longer supported. I just need an old image, can I get to a human other than the Rock Star (?) non-employee, (I can see him Base Ball cap on backwards drink Jolt cola being down with the net kids) that has tried to help rather than a bill@dellpc.co.uk who could maybe help. It's poets day I'm outta here!!

sounds like you got ... VD? 
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein
