If You Can't Use It, It Doesn't Exist

When they announced the new Microsoft Surface tablet, they made a big deal about how the 32 GB version was the same price as the 16 GB iPad. How could they come up with such a bargain? Now we know: the Microsoft tablet has only 16 gigabytes of free space. The rest is taken up with the operating system. Which brings to mind this: computers and tablets and, for that matter, cell phones should always be designated by the amount of free space they have, not the overall capacity. If you buy a computer that has a 250 GB hard drive, but junk bloatware and recovery partitions take up a third of that, they shouldn't be able to advertise it as 250 GB. (Los Angeles Times)
