Audie Cornish talks with Austin Carr, design and technology writer at Fast Company, about Apple's use of skeuomorphic design. It's when an object retains the look of something old and familiar like the trash or recycling bin icon on your computer. After a recent management shake-up at Apple, Carr says the tech giant might move away from skeuomorphism in the future.

Macys.com showed a jacket for $ 69. 99 on its website ; it was offered in shops for $ 112. (Macys.com)
.
Avram Piltch was aiming to buy a brand-new Weatherproof coat. He browsed online and located it for $ 69. 99 on Macys.com. Excellent deal, however he was wishing to get it that day and attempt it on. Off he went to Macy's 34th St. store in New York, however there he located it for $ 112-- $ 42 even more than the rate online. Naturally, Piltch asked an employee about the online vs. in-store rate and if he can get the online rate in-store. The feedback? You 'd be much better off going house and buying it on your computer. Piltch was sensible.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.

A few weeks ago Windows 8 finally launched and with it the iron curtain separating the category of laptops and tablets came down. With the new operating system, which is meant for all types of computers, laptops have turned into tablets and tablets have turned into laptops. As Microsoft told us, with Windows 8 they didn't want to give up the Desktop and the parts of Windows you've come to know for so long, even if it did create a brand new Start Screen. Check out our full guide to using Windows 8 here. Call them laplets, tabtops or just simply convertible computers, but the following Windows 8 computers from Dell, Acer, Lenovo and others are now sitting on shelves and they flip, slide and swirl in a different direction.
