Help the Duo, Obi-Wan. The Future Is Here
September 11, 2020
I read “Surface Duo Is Packed with Power and Bugs.” If you want to locate the story online, you will need to search for “Microsoft Surface Duo Review: Two Screens, Too Many Problems.” Why? “Because Murdoch.” Did you have to ask?
The key point of this short item is to point to the title of Matt Barlow. Now the good part. His title allegedly is:
corporate vice president of modern life, search and devices.
Okay, modern life is replete with buggy Windows 10 updates, the pandemic, financial turmoil for non-monopolistically inclined enterprises, and social unrest. The search thing is a bit of a joke. We need Elizabeth Barrett Browning to count the number of ways to “search” using Microsoft applications and solutions. (How about that Excel and Dynamics search by the way?)
Now jump to the ultimate paragraph in the write up which says:
I’m hungry for the real power and productivity promised by this future feeling gadget. It just has to actually work.
The hunger is a trope related to the ill-cooked steak. The split infinitive is the new “real” journalism. Gritty.
The point, however, is probably one Microsoft’s corporate vice president of modern life, search, and videos would prefer to delete. Yeah, that’s the reminder that Microsoft outputs have to work actually.
Actually?
