Oprah endorses Microsoft's Surface with a tweet sent from... an iPad

LOL, what she means is she bought the Surface b-c she has used the iPad and knows how bad it is.

But she'll use the Surface as gift only all 12 of them, and she will buy herself a Nexus 10.

all of a sudden you manage to insert nexus in this kind of talk. Wow, gotta admire you dude. You're so lost in your very own world.

He does that n every article. It could b about tennis balls, and he'd insert nexus. He forgot people have the same choices he does, and not everyone wants a nexus.

It's actually quite simple and I don't understand why people can't infer the obvious meaning of her action .....

Oprah simply did a "show and tell" for her disciples: "My dear followers, I am replacing my limited usefulness iPad and here I introduce to the World the tablet that I am replacing it with; join me in replacing Apple."

She's like voting for Romney sitting beside Obama!!

clowns voting for clowns, the orator vs the Mormon. So many smart, good, people out there yet there's only these two. Why? People why? Why haven't you learned your lesson.

actually there were 21, not 2. the media never made this known since GE owns msnbc(the GE president is the current job Czar) and we all should know about fox and CNN. But i digress, anyone who get windows 8 is insane. It's like it was nerfed. Vista and 7 were already bad but this is taking it to another level.

Windows 7 is way too heavy on resources. Yes it was a big improvement over Vista, which was extremely resource heavy but it it's still pretty bad if you dont turn off the aero. Sorry but to me XP was the best they did.

windows 8 doesn't have twitter client yet.

24. -box- posted on 20 Nov 2012, 07:40 2 0

Sure it does. It's called twitter.com on IE10. Because the website lets you do most (if not all) the things the BASIC apps let you do!

40. drahmad posted on 20 Nov 2012, 09:29 0 1

yeah. i must say its a much better experience on an app than on a website for most people. since i have got an ipad, i have never thought of twitter.com, not even on my pc. i simply use the app.

And just think, Microsoft only had the three years or so it's been working on the Surface RT to plan it!?

she may not be a techie but she has herds of people that will follow her every move. If she says surface is the best thing since sliced bread oh you best believe MS would be out of Surface for a month or 2

Her "endorsement" is probably the only reason people willingly bought Pontiac G6 cars. What a total pile of junk it turned out to be. Hopefully she knows tech better than cars, as she's recently been endorsing the VW Beetle

im with you, confused

What was so confusing in the fact that Apple is so much in the genes of our culture that their devices pop out everywhere even if it's about promoting the competition?

Of course Apple doesn't need marketing at all, everybody is doing it for them for free, even the competiton.

Samsung gave out a lot of GS3s to the athletes at the olympics, and a lot of folks kept their owned devices as they were used to them. It isn't like they signed an exclusivity deal with them. There was also an athlete using an ipad as a camera while walking, so obviously not the best people to talk to about tech. Anything for publicity.

46. AppleConspiracy posted on 20 Nov 2012, 16:20 0 0

Actually, Samsung, as a golden sponsor of London Olympics, tried to condition that everyone on air on Olympics show only their Samsung devices. Samsung gave thousands of Galaxy Note devices to everyone involved in organization of Olympics, to all celebrities and all sportsmen, and gave out the order to show only Galaxy Note on promotions. This failed numerous times, as celebrities were still using their iPhones and iPads. Even in first opening ceremony with USA team, Tyson gay took pictures with his iPhone in front of official cameras, and then Kate Upton showed Up on Samsungs promotion with her iPhone.

They are paid to show Samsung, yet they fail to do that, just like Oprah, because Apple devices are important part of their lives, it like asking to hide your right hand in front of cameras if you are sponsor of technology for left-handed.

Don't worry, by the time you remember [that] celebrity's name Apple will be DEAD!!

Oh yeah, it was Kate Upton. Apple still not dead.
