Microsoft's unveiling of its new Surface tablet on Monday felt very familiar. Here's a video by ReadWriteWeb that compares the event to Apple's unveiling of the iPad.

On Monday, Microsoft held a secret press event in Los Angeles where it announced a new family of tablets under the Surface moniker. Along with Surface, the event revealed a branding shift for Microsoft, one that values the unity of hardware and software, and the idolization of aesthetics. Something about it felt familiar...

setting the software and hardware aside. Microsoft sucks at presentations. They look so amateur when compared to Apple presentations led by Steve Jobs. With that said, Apple's presentations are starting to drop off in quality and professionalism since the loss of Steve jobs. While Steve was around, Apple wouldn't say a word about a competitor. Now they slam other companies directly and compare directly. Its now less professional..

@ Tim, Steve Jobs was a master in reality distortion and that's what took Apple to new heights. I doubt if the current gang ( Cook et al) would be able to maintain the same momentum. Downward it is!
Tim Cook - June 20, 2012 at 5:29pm
Fuck you, I'm a great presenter. I taught Steve Jobs. You ungrateful fuck.

dude all these presenters need is younger people with a GREAT personality and great looks. Honestly, I don't even know that old bald fat guys name and I don't give a fuck cuz he is butt ugly and shit. now if they had some inspiring 27 to 28 year old who was a great public speaker with some humor maybe a little magic in there and some colorful shit. I bet all the stupid bitches out there would be like oooooo wowowowow im a stupid bitch and I want that thingy to show all my friends how much of a stupid bitch I am (period) PS anyone who replies to this or even mentions my post is a stupid bitch. lol

Love the bit a 58 sec lol

lol, right. What a MAJOR screw up. Not sure if Apple has messed up or not, but if they did they kept it really low key and not as obvious. lol
Tim Cook - June 20, 2012 at 5:36pm
We are Apple. I mean apple is me, and I never mess up.

Look, if you want to bash Apple on an Apple site, fine. It seems seriously misguided, but hey, whatever floats your boat. But pretending to be someone else, and saying clearly untrue things, is the hallmark of dishonesty, and shows an utter lack of creativity. Don't worry, Tim will eventually screw up on his own, but making up 'damning evidence' won't convince anyone.

you a stupid bitch. I don't understand a word you just said and im not even sure if you are either an apple fanboy or a Microsoft fanboy, and because of how confusingly you worded your argument. if it were up to apple only in this world, many families would not have a computer. Thanks to Microsoft and their software, every young child and family has the ability to access the web. SO SOME FUCKING RESPECT YOU TURDS! When I was a kid, PC's were great! they are now still affordable and still do a lot more than apple things. HAHAHAHA in all seriousness tho, I am stupid like you too. I swear if the Microsoft surface was created by apple and apple introduced it in the exact same way Microsoft did, I would be like OMG take my fucking money and let me give you a blowjob for a job well done! yea im stupid like the rest of you.

iPads are terrible for rndaieg, strains my eyes, I read a good bit so I had to also get a Kindle. iPads are good though for just surfing the web, email, etc not good for any serious extended rndaieg like books, newspapers, etc.
