Fox News debuts ridiculously oversized Windows 8 tablets

[HeyCori]

Shepard says they're called "B.A.T.S." for Big Area Touchscreens. Yeah, I'm sure "Area" wasn't the first word they thought of.

That's pretty nice. Pretty amazing on what one can do these days.

Wow that is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen, those "information specialists" who use those things will have some serious issues with their arms getting tired after all that reaching, bound to get employees suing them for health issues eventually, plus the idea of Fox sifting through internet news to tell me what is true is slightly scary...

and yet these people don't know the difference between W8 and an iPad

You need to be Mongo Santamaria to type on that virtual kb.

For my Gringo friends, he was to bongos what Liberace was to the piano.

I give it
1 month before employees revolt
3 months before executives listen
6 months until they very quietly change back to sane
Forever until publicly admitting defeat

Those things are nothing more than props. Anyone thinking that people sit at those all day are gullible. I will give hats off to MSFT though. Those make for good "background advertising". I'm sure MSFT had to pickup the bill for those. Probably were not cheap.

I love Colbert's episode last night discussing the screens: Because Shep - Fox News Deck - The Colbert Report - 2013-10-10 - Video Clip | Comedy Central
and
Because Shep - Fox News Deck - Colbert Info News Veranda - The Colbert Report - 2013-10-10 - Video Clip | Comedy Central
So funny.
