ASUS Taichi, Notebook, laptop or Tablet you decide

The Taichi, by Asus, is the the world's first dual boot, dual screen notebook/tablet. Choose Android or Windows 8, laptop or transform to the tablet screen.

"     This Ivy Bridge laptop has a fully-fledged (and likely ARM-based) Windows 8 tablet integrated into the back of the screen. You literally have two devices in one. The Taichi is clearly still in prototype phase, as exact specifications are still unknown. All that ASUS has said is that 11.6-inch and 13-inch versions will be released with IPS displays capable of Full HD. They will be based on yet-to-be-specified Intel Core processors.     "

Blue Screen of Death NOT in Windows 8

The dreaded Blue Screen of Death has been replaced in Windows 8 with a much more user friendly sad emoticon face and an error message that reads


" Your PC ran into a problem it couldn't handle, and now it needs to restart "


The message, as shown below,  is however still displayed on a blue background.

NOTE :  Apple computers in the 1980's featured a happy emoticon face on a mini computer screen graphic (designed by Ms Kare) to welcome users when they booted their Apple computers up.
