I giggled at the "Why Humans Matter" on the right:

Erghh meant to upvote this. Stupid little unchangeable close arrows on a touch interface...

Granted, it's not terribly insightful.

True, but it didn't deserve a downvote either

Clearly, the close arrows don't matter as much as the humans do.

Stupid fingers and their substantial size...

If their strategy for Windows 8 is to continue treating me like an idiot, I'm probably going to switch to Linux.
