Very happy with my window N90II android tablet - does everything i need it to outdoors via wi-fi & was less than half the price of the cheapest Ipad or the upcoming base-windows 8 tablet. I'm sure surface et al will be nice to play with once they are officially out. But bang-per-buck is an important consideration in these recessionary times.

I really didn't like my android tablet It is completely useless I sold it. They are only good for surfing and checking email that's it. I might get Surface Pro because it seems like it will be first product on the market that will be good at PEN, touch and keyboard. I know there are android devices that do this but they will not be as good as the surface pro.

I want a surface pro but I'm afraid it will be prohibitively expensive. :(

I feel really let down this month by it all.

I guess it might be an android or if I can pull off lact8 for win8....

I have a tablet and a coworker just bought one. So the third coworker comes over and says. I would never buy a tablet. there is nothing i can do on a laptop and phone that i can use a tablet for. We just looked at him.

For me now..tablets are portable. I do not want to carry 5lbs of gear any more. I just have my tablet and happy.

I really don't get why everyone keeps on voting Windows. It's an unreleased platform with virtually no apps available compared to iOS or even Android.

I'm absolutely not an Apple fan, but I'm absolutely sure that there is no tablet that can provide an experience as good as an iPad. For Windows there just aren't any good apps and I doubt they'll arrive soon. Android tablet apps are still usually stretched phone apps that make bad use of the screen size. iOS is the only platform with a big selection of quality tablet apps and that's not something to be ignored.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

      Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
