What support staff? Who do you think reads those 15,000 players' bug reports and comments? Mark Jacobs? Every single one? Do the ducks do it? Maybe some magical fairies?
Yes, they have Internal Testing before Alpha. But Alpha is still over a year before launch and less than a year after the start of Internal Testing. Alpha is a testing phase. They need people there actually testing. They need people writing up intelligent bug reports and suggestions for them to evaluate. There are three seperate Betas that come after Alpha.
You seem to just want Alpha as some sort of status symbol, but if you arent going to be providing useful testing data, theres absolutely no reason for you to be there.

Are you implying people who pay less can't write intelligent bug reports and suggestions?
No, I want the kickstarter to succeed and I want to give them my money. But when they tell me "you will play 13 months after the others and 3 months before release" it sounds like they don't want my money.

As people already suggested. If you truly want to test the game when it is in alpha but don't want/can pay for it then show them on their forums that you "deserve" to be in there testing

See like the poster above me this is starting to sound less like "i love this project and want it backed so here is an idea", and more like a selfish "i want this backed but screw you i'm not gonna help unless i get exactly what i want for exactly how much i want". Your previous posts in other threads gave me that same impression but this latest post screams it. Sometimes more money means more perks and thats the way of life, be it in the gaming industry or other industries. Maybe its a sad fact of life but thats the way the world works.
You say you love this project and want it to fund. You can fund it but you choose not to because they haven't catered to your exact wants and desires. To hold back your money/support for a project you supposedly want to succeed doesn't show love for the project, it shows selfishness. Mark/CSE can't cater to every single person's wants and desires.
In the end, if you love the project and have the means to support it then do so. If you supposedly love the project, have the means to support it, but choose not to because CSE didn't cater a tier specifically to your every whim that makes you come off like a spoiled little child. Its your right to do, act, and say things the way you choose. But don't be surprised when others see through your OP for what it really is more and more with each of your posts.

Too weird to live, and too rare to die
Well, there is only a six-month difference between alpha access (August 2014) and beta 1 access (February 2015), so it is not a full year like the original post sort of implied by being a bit vague. The difference in tier price is $110 vs. $50, and that $50 package is pretty decent for what you get. It is the box price of a new game with a lot of good bonuses. The $110 tier is even better, obviously, and in my opinion is the best bang-for-your-buck tier there is. On top of the alpha access, the clear highlight, you get a whack of in-game digital goods.
Secondly, while I agree a lower-priced alpha tier could result in more backers, it raises other questions, like:
- How many more backers?
- Is that many more alpha testers useful or necessary? Is i counter-productive?
- Are these the sort of backers we want to give alpha access to?
I do not think it would result in a large surge of backers, personally. I do not feel there is strong evidence supporting the fact that people not pledging are not pledging because they do not get alpha access. I also do not think an alpha test with 10,000+ players is all that useful. The signal-to-noise ratio would be insane. As for the last question, I do not think someone paying $110 is inherently better than someone paying $25, but the person paying $110 is at the very least more likely to be invested in the game and not just there to be a tourist. I get the feeling many paying $25 would just be doing it for a cheap, guaranteed alpha tour. Leave that for beta when the game shifts from fundamental design choices and rough patches to something more stable that is more about balance and bug fixing, and making it fun. That is when the floodgates can start to open, as there will actually be a game.
Anyway, as others have mentioned, MJ is willing to give away internal access to those who post constructively in the forums and yes, even to the critics. I hope tons of critics get in because they are going to make the game better than superfans, as long as they channel their criticism properly. On this forum, for example, there are a few good critics I love reading, but most are trolls with a vendetta against MJ for WAR or ToA, or just petty in general. Those are the fools I hope get kept out by the price.

I guess we'll be seeing 1000 more of these same threads from the same guy until he realizes that his wish isn't a command. Some people are so sad... No you don't get alpha access by pledging 25 US$, GET OVER IT!

/agree with OP
Worth a try as long as max total alpha spots remains the same.
Only risk *might* be that people who spent 110$ might downgrade. I won't because of the other benefits, but others might if their only real motivation is alpha. I don't think this risk is high because people who already went in the 110 tier probably did it because they want to see this game funded more then simply for alpha access, but it should be considered.

I don't see why it would be different for alpha than for IT.

If you participate in the forms actively and express interest in testing, then your chances are good of getting in. He also says that IT testing may be tedious and boring and other games say they are giving away alpha when they are actually giving away beta testing. For this alpha testing, it truly will be a buggy alpha, we should expect that. Lastly, he also said that he wants to get as many people in testing as soon as he can which makes sense to use forum participation to help him do that.
I know a lot of people like having Beta testing but also many people still seemed confused about it. I've only lurked on these forums but prior to SWTOR coming out (on their forums), people were surprised when they learned they couldn't keep their Beta testing characters. Many of those people didn't know what Beta testing really meant, not to say that is the same here but I think a lot of people wouldn't know what alpha testing really meant.

I have a hard time believing there are 8k people who like the concept of the game, could afford to donate $25 or more, but aren't because they don't get alpha access. The $25 tier seems quite good to me as it is. Why wouldn't most of these people have donated at that level anyway or at $50 for beta 1?
How about this compromise though: have a lottery for alpha access for the limited tiers below $110 with your chances of winning increasing based on your donation? The number of slots available would be based on the number of alpha slots unfilled at the end of the Kickstarter. If there are more available alpha slots than donors in those limited tiers (too lazy to add up the numbers), then they all automatically get bumped to alpha.

Just a few words...
I'm spent 10 years playing DAOC on Prydwen, Camlann, Mordred and Uthgard. I have very high interest on the outcome of this game and an equally high interest in being able to test it and give my input as early as possible.
However, I'm currently in a financial low point so $50 is the maximum I can really afford to pledge. But I must say I'm very happy with the rewards I'm given for this amount. Yes, I'd love to be able to get into the testing 6 months earlier but it's not going to prevent me from giving my input. I'll be able to read up on the feedback from Alpha testers and who knows, I might still have a chance to join in via the backers forum.
My point is, I don't think the lack of cheap alpha access is preventing people from pledging, and if so it's very few people.

See your attitude is the proper one. "I can't pledge higher but if I get the access via my participation I'll be happy. If I don't I still love this project and want to support it." That attitude will get you into alpha or earlier beta stages I have zero doubt of that. The reason why is because you're willing to support this project because of the vision not just solely for alpha access without paying for it. For what its worth I truly hope you are active on the boards and get alpha, even IT, access because with your attitude of "i just want to help" as opposed to "i demand alpha acces for $30" you'd be an asset.

text: OCC Belladonna Lip Tar ($14.00 for 0.33 fl. oz.) is described as an "ultra, ultra violet." It's purple–it's a brightened medium-dark purple with subtle pink-red undertones. Not unsurprisingly, I could not think of any dupes out of these purple lipsticks. Illamasqua Fierce was the closest I could come up with, but it looks tame in comparison (ha, ha). When I tested this shade for wear, it hung on for a very impressive eight hours, and it still looked pretty good then but noticeably worn.

Florida Firm Pays $3,150 to Settle Seed Case
AMS No. 262-12
Nadine Wilkins (202) 720-8998
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7, 2012 The U.S. Department of Agricultures Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) announced that B & G Seed Processors Inc., Williston, Fla., has paid $3,150 to settle alleged violations of the Federal Seed Act.
This settlement resolves four cases involving one shipment of proso millet and three shipments of bahiagrass to Georgia. The alleged violations, while not the same for all shipments, were as follows:
-false labeling as to pure seed, other crop seed, and inert matter percentages;
-false labeling of germination percentages;
-false labeling of germination test date; and
-failure to keep or supply complete records of the seed, as required by the act.
The company settled the cases in agreement with AMS officials. The company neither admitted nor denied the charges brought against them.
AMS administers the Federal Seed Act with the assistance of state seed officials. The investigations were completed through the joint efforts of AMS and seed regulatory officials in Georgia. The Federal Seed Act is a truth-in-labeling law designed to protect farmers and consumers who buy seed.

The event, now in its sixth year, is $45 per person and $10 for children under 12 with all proceeds from the event going directly to the programs.
"This is a great event and opportunity for our fans to meet and interact with our team before the start of the season," men's soccer Head Coach Terry Davila said. "We are committed to putting out quality soccer at Cal State Northridge and this banquet helps us achieve our goals."

"We strongly encourage all supporters of Matador soccer to attend and help us kick off what should be another successful campaign on the pitch."
The Matador women's soccer program will be the first to hit the field in 2009, opening the season with a pair of games in San Diego. On Aug. 21, the Matadors meet the University of San Diego at 7 p.m. and then square off against San Diego State on Aug. 23 at 1 p.m. The women's first home game will be an Aug. 27 tilt against Loyola Marymount at Matador Soccer Field starting at 5 p.m.

Sanctus Real reflects during homecoming performanceWritten by David Yonke Editor, ToledoFAVS.com | | email@example.com
Sanctus Real has performed in every U.S. state except two (will someone please book them in Alaska and Hawaii?) as well as a number of concerts abroad, but coming home can be a bit nerve-racking for the Toledo band.
Like Sept 20, when the two-time Grammy-nominated Christian rockers played a show at Calvary Church in Maumee.
"It definitely feels different," said drummer Mark Graalman. "Staring out into the crowd, you know half the faces there and so often it's people … who literally watched you grow up."
Many Toledoans will remember seeing Graalman, singer-guitarist Matt Hammitt, and guitarist Chris Rohman — the three remaining original members — finding their groove on the local music scene when they founded Sanctus Real 17 years ago.
"Matt and Chris were 16 and I was 18, we were just kids trying to make something of the noise we were making," Graalman said.
Through the years, they've always made sure to fit a Toledo show into each of their national tours, including last week's "Run" tour concert at Calvary.
It doesn't necessarily go smoothly, even at home. After setting up the biggest stage and light show they've had on an outdoor stage at Calvary, a steady rain forced the show indoors.
And the group has undergone two recent personnel changes, as bassist Dan Gartley left a few months ago and the band's second guitarist, Pete Prevost, quit last week after four years with Sanctus Real.
Jake Rye, a bass player from Adrian, Mich., has taken Gartley's spot and local guitar ace Jeff Harris is filling in for Prevost temporarily.
Graalman said being from Toledo and playing for Toledo fans is fun, but it carries high expectations.
"There's always a sense of pride to it. We're always excited to play for the hometown crowd. But in all honesty, I think there's a certain amount of pressure, too. I get more nervous. We want to make it good, we want to be proud. So we put a little extra pressure on ourselves," he said.
The backstage scene gets a little crazy, too, with so many friends and family stopping in.
"There's a million people everywhere, and with our wives and the kids it's just like a circus backstage."
Sanctus Real released its sixth album for Sparrow Records, "Run," in February and the disc has gotten plenty of airplay with such hits as "Pray," which was the official song for this year's National Day of Prayer.
The group was in Nashville recently rehearsing for the tour and planning their next CD, which they are slated to start recording in January.
Graalman said everyone in the band contributes when it comes to writing songs, but Hammitt is the one with a special gift for that creative challenge. He is "constantly writing," Graalman said of Hammitt, adding that lyrics and vocal melody are his strong suit.
Some Sanctus Real songs are sparked by a guitar riff from Rohman or Prevost, leading to an organic, old-school team effort in creating a new tune. "A lot of the rock songs come about that way, with Chris or Pete having a riff and we start jamming," Graalman said.
It's important to the band members that they get together and create music as a group, not just mail their ideas through cyberspace and tack their parts onto each other's tracks in the studio.
"It makes us feel like a band, not a factory," Graalman said.
As for his own songwriting abilities, Graalman is predictably modest.
"Every time I think I have a good idea, I go back and listen to it a few days later and think, 'Oh my gosh, it's something a first-grader would have done!" he said with a laugh.
In 17 years of recording and touring, Sanctus Real has performed at venues ranging from major Christian rock festivals and arenas to tiny clubs and rural churches.
Some memorable moments have come recently, thanks to the success of the soul-stirring ballad "Lead Me," from the band's "Pieces of a Real Heart" album, which topped the Christian Adult Contemporary charts for seven straight weeks.
That opened the door for Sanctus Real to reach new concert audiences and new radio listeners, touring with Casting Crowns and playing for 20,000 people a night on the Winter Jam tour.
"It's interesting how fickle the music industry can be, though," Graalman said. "That was all more than a year ago. Now the question is, how do we get back there again? It's fleeting, just like everything else." O

Utah's central location in the western United States has always meant a steady flow of traffic across its expanse, and has earned the state nickname "The Crossroads of the West." As early as the 18th century Spaniards and New Mexicans began exploring Utah in search of "short-cut" routes to the western coast. Their efforts resulted in a popular trade route known as "the Old Spanish Trail." In the first half of the 19th century trappers and mountain men further explored the state, plotting and mapping routes as they went. Their trails were later used by thousands of pioneers and adventurers heading to California and Oregon. U.S. government explorers began crossing Utah in the 1840s; one of the most notable of these was John C. Fremont, who mapped trails and wrote detailed reports of the plant and animal life in the area.

Helping Hands provides emergency housing for young people who are the victims of abuse, abandonment and/or neglect.
"This is not a warehouse, and it's not a dumping ground or a jail; this is a home," said Carmen Landy, Helping Hands executive director.
The organization has five buildings on its campus, which is located on John Elliot Lane. There are 58 beds and 7,000 square feet of living space.
"Our residents come from all over the state of South Carolina, and their ages vary; right now, they range from birth to 21 years," Landy said. "They have been removed from their homes by court order. The average stay is four months. Some are here for only a couple of days, but there are children with us now that have been here for probably two years."
Helping Hands is more than a source of shelter and food.
"We try to help our children become better – emotionally, educationally and physically," Landy said. "We teach them to do chores, and we give them access to mental health counseling and medication management."
Helping Hands residents attend schools and churches in the community, and they also get involved in various volunteer projects in the Aiken area.
They receive tutoring to help them with their homework. In addition, they can take piano lessons, learn how to quilt and go fishing.
"We do our best to make it pleasant, but the Helping Hands volunteers are the ones who really enhance the experience," Landy said. "We have probably 100 to 125 occasional and regular volunteers. With their instruction, our teenaged boys have built picnic tables and benches. A lot of our volunteers teach what we call life skills, such as how to sew a button back on a shirt when it pops off."
In addition, "there is an individual plan for every child, which is usually court ordered, to either go back to their family, go into a foster home or be adopted," Landy said. "Nobody comes under the care of the state anymore with the objective of remaining there until they become an adult. Young people who have been at Helping Hands have gone on to graduate from college and have successful professional careers. It's rewarding when they tell us they remember the things that we taught them and use the tools that we gave them."
Helping Hands has approximately 40 employees and a budget of "right at $1.3 million" annually, Landy said.
"Most of the funding for our residential program comes from our contract from the S.C. Department of Social Services," she said. "We're also supported by the United Way of Aiken County and United Ways from other areas in South Carolina."
Last year, Helping Hands acquired Aiken Youth Empowerment and, since then, it has overseen that organization's programs, which are designed to promote healthy behaviors in young people. Prevention of teen pregnancy is a goal.
"Teenagers typically don't have the coping skills that are required to manage their lives and manage children, so they have a higher likelihood of becoming abusive parents," Landy said. "We feel like it makes sense for us to be involved in this kind of prevention effort because many of the children at Helping Hands come from homes where they have been abused."

All the momentum seemed to be going Ridge Spring-Monetta's way late in the first half and early in the second of its 20-13 loss in the homecoming game against Hunter-Kinard-Tyler. H-K-T was without its leading rusher Jarius Jenkins, who left the game early in the second quarter with what his coach said is a sprained ankle at halftime it was evident Jenkins wouldn't return.
To add insult to injury Travious Wigfall returned the opening kickoff of the second half 85 yards for a touchdown to put Ridge Spring-Monetta up 13-6.
However, from that point on the H-K-T defense shut Ridge Spring-Monetta out.
Considering we have about 1000 yards of offense on the sideline with injuries, I'm pretty pleased with the outcome," H-K-T head coach Dan Holland said. "Our defense came up big for us tonight and stopped them on some big drives."
After the Wigfall return, it took H-K-T only two plays to get in the endzone and take the lead. Khaliq Anthony connected with Darius Hammonds on a 50-yard pass to put the team in the red zone, and he followed that with a 15 yard touchdown pass to Hammonds.
Ridge Spring-Monetta had several chances late in the game but H-K-T was able to hold each advance off.
"It makes me proud as a coach that we played hard, but as I've said before we're not into moral victories," Ridge Spring-Monetta head coach Heath Corley said. "We felt like we had a shot at winning this game coming in, and we did. We gave them everything we had, and at the end they made a play and we didn't."
The second half turned into a chess match, as Corley went away from his spread offense and tried to pound the ball. After some success, H-K-T made adjustments and Corley went back to passing more.
"We saw something, and we thought we could get in there and run it a little bit," Corley said. "They did a good job of correcting it on defense and didn't allow us to get a push."
Corley's team got several chances in the final minutes of the game, including another drive after H-K-T scored with 1:26 remaining but failed on the two-point conversion. Ridge Spring-Monetta's last ditch effort ended with an incompletion on fourth and ten with eight seconds left.
"We're going to use this as motivation and a learning experience for us," Corley said. "Our kids fully expect to win ball games now and stuff like this will push us in the right direction."
Ridge Spring-Monetta will head to Lions Field to take on Fox Creek next week, and Corley is hoping the tough loss motivates his squad.
"We're under the eight ball now... We're in the bottom half of the region right now and that's not where we want to be," Corley said.

Comments, questions and tips
A really yummy and tasty dish, surprisingly so. I did fry off the sausages before I put them in with all the other ingredients, so that they looked a bit more roasted, also, the 1st time I cooked this dish I omitted the tomatoes and I do think it tastes all the more richer for not adding them. Served this with waitrose ready made garlic mash and garlic wilted spinach. A keeper :)
Versatile and easy recipe, but more than that it tastes yummy and deserves its 5 star rating. Have enjoyed reading all the comments for additions and ideas. My own contribution would be to add little Chantenay carrots.
I too had to cook for longer - and I'd halved my sausages. The dish cooked well in 35 - 40 mins, turning everything midway.
This dish will certainly enter the family repertoire - we love oven roasted veggies of this kind - and we look forward to eating it again. I'll add too that I sometimes have to cook for a
Coeliac , a veggie, and regular meat eaters at the same table, and with two trays to vary the sausages this won't be difficult. .
A great easy dish for a crowd. Have cooked this recipe (as written) twice for around 25 people - all said it was delicious. Don't skimp and use cheap sausages - it's not worth it. The mustard mash was a nice accompaniment and the fresh thyme aroma travelled through the conference centre whetting people's appetites. Cook for at least 40 mins.
Tasty! I deliberately left out the thyme sprigs as I used chilli flavoured sausages. It was the first time I have tried this recipe, so easy, I also served it with a jacket potato and it went down well. Might well use mash next time though.
Added on 29/10/2013. We have since substituted lamb chops for the sausages and omitted the honey and thyme. Cool! Today the other half made this dish, using our local butchers chilli sausages and added mushrooms and topped the mustard mash with a fried egg. Seemed right somehow. Is there no end to this very versatile dish?
This is a really easy recipe and very tasty. I added various other veggies including mushrooms, beans and green peppers (basically the contents of the fridge). The sausages took much longer to cook than stated so I finished them off under the grill. I'll definitely be cooking this again. Thank you :-)
This is a great, flexible midweek meal. We didn't have any tomatoes or peppers in and had vegetables to use up, so we roasted the sausages with butternut squash, onion, iron cap squash, courgette, sweet potatoes, a few cloves of garlic and some fresh thyme. The olive oil and balsamic vinegar gave the vegetables and sausages a lovely sauciness. We added some halved black olives for the last 10 minutes or so for a different flavour and texture. We also put in two chillis sliced in half to give a gentle spiciness to the dish. I'll make this again, and will carry on experimenting...

Just finished "Insomia", and just starting "The Last Werewolf" by Glen Duncan.
I started with Eyes of the dragon by Sai King.
Since my last visit 3 weeks ago I have finished The Waste Lands and Wizard and Glass, made a brief detour to read Logan's Run, and am now 80% through Wolves of the Calla. Woo hoo!
Re-reading Cujo.
Finished The Light Between Oceans the other night. I really liked it. It didn't go in quite the direction I thought! The author did a really great job of making you feel for everyone, and see all sides. It did make me cry in a couple different places toward the end, especially the last few pages. Really beautiful story, I thought.
Started the first Longmire mystery last night, The Cold Dish. Has already made me laugh out loud. The books and show are set in my little corner of the world, although the show mixes things up a little bit, as far as names go. Anyway, they were discussing town Christmas decorations, and one character asks, "Do you think they are the ugliest in Wyoming?" After a little thought, Walt answers, "Gillette's are uglier." It made me laugh, because we really do have the most pitiful, ugliest Christmas decorations I think I've ever seen.
I am reading David Copperfield and really loving it. Every now and again I love to read a classic.

LAUREL HILL — A high school senior has one less thing to worry about as college approaches.
John Cunningham, 18, said the city's $1,000 scholarship — awarded last week to him — can help with some of his expected bills.
"It's going to cost a lot," Cunningham said of higher education. "I already have a Take Stock in Children scholarship, which is a four-year scholarship ... it basically covers tuition."
Laurel Hill's scholarship will help offset the costs of books and gas while he attends classes at Northwest Florida State College's Niceville campus.
Cunningham has accumulated 28 college credit hours through dual enrollment while maintaining a 3.5 grade point average at the school.
The City Council awarded the scholarship May 2 after reviewing the top three candidates suggested by a committee comprising Mayor Robby Adams, City Clerk Anita Miller, resident Harold Jones and Laurel Hill school guidance counselor Carla Strickland.
Cunningham plans to continue his education at Florida A&M University's Crestview pharmacy school.
He said conversations with licensed pharmacist Richard Moulton of Moulton's Pharmacy inspired his career path. Moulton occasionally stops by Farm World LLC, where Cunningham works part-time after school.
"He's been an inspiration to me," Cunningham said. "He really enjoys what he does, and I think I would, too."
Marie Davis, the farm feed and supply store's manager, said Cunningham is a worthy scholarship recipient.
"If there is anyone that deserves the scholarship, it's him," Davis said. "He is an excellent worker and he is devoted to his education.
"He is bound and determined to make something of himself. You don't see too many young people like that."

I mentioned in my recent meandering about the dangers of trying to make a game based on Aliens - in action-movie terms, a task comparable to trying to make a pop song based on The Wasteland - that a bad review is often more fun to write than a good review.
We've seen that maxim borne out in coverage of Google's announcement of the Chromebook Pixel, which it seems has proven actively offensive to some sensibilities. Jean-Baptiste Su, of this parish, was so struck by the boldness of charging $1300 for a Chromebook that he put an exclamation point not only at the end of his title but at the end of his subhead and picture caption as well – a level of emphasis that would leave a newspaper subeditor gasping in admiration, and possibly bleeding from the ears.
A less emphatic but no less damning verdict was delivered by Sam Biddle of Gizmodo, who listed "Every reason not to buy a Chromebook Pixel". Funnily enough, he missed the most important one, which I will come to later.
Of course, there is fun to be had in the other direction, also. My colleague Dave Thier, by suggesting that the Pixel looked cooler than an Apple product, has attracted a charmingly vibrant set of discussions from admirers and opponents of the Cupertino colossus.
Apple-y ever after? The Chromebook Pixel
Pixel, or pixilated*? You decide!
The best one-line analysis I have encountered of the Pixel so far comes from Cryptocat's creator Nadim Kobiessi:
Frankly I'm simply confused by the Chromebook Pixel. It's like a randomly generated laptop.
As a general user, you can see his point. A netbook with a Core i5 processor? And a touchscreen? Without the ability to run the sort of applications that create huge files, but with a terabyte of cloud storage? Designed aesthetically for people delivering presentations at TEDx events, but without the ability to run Keynote? Und so weiter.
I didn't make him for you
The Goog is saying that the Pixel is aimed at developers, the enterprise and "early adopters" – that is, people who make money from their laptop, those who spend other people's money on their laptop and those who have more money than sense when it comes to laptops. This is probably just about true, but the emphasis invites scrutiny.
The primary market for the Pixel, as it was for the Nexus One, is probably laptop makers, sellers and ODMs, for whom the message is "we know this is overspecced and overpriced, but this is what we expect a laptop that runs a convergent, touch-based, one-or-two-years-down-the-line OS to behave like. Start your engines." Which is fine – it achieves that without needing to sell a single model.
The secondary market is developers – and specifically, cross-platform application developers.
The odd shape of the Pixel's screen has been commented upon, as has its pixel density – The Verge described at as "Retina-like", in comparison specifically to Apple's 13″ Macbook retina display. Step away from the Apple store, however, and there is another comparison. The Google Nexus 10 tablet has a 2560 by 1600 pixel display. The Chromebook Pixel has a 2560 by 1700 pixel display. Both have touch screens.
Appy together
Remember how I mentioned that Gizmodo missed the most important reason not to buy a Chromebook Pixel? This is basically it. That reason is because, statistically, you are probably not a developer of mobile apps.
If I made my living developing apps, I might be thinking to myself at this point "Huh. That means I can precisely mimic how an app will look and behave on the touchscreen of a Nexus 10, while having just enough screen real estate left for a toolbar. And I have a full-sized physical keyboard. Which means, in turn, that I can do my coding and my testing very easily on the same device."
I might then think further, "Also, I can stop being noogied by the iOS developers, who never shut up about how their hardware looks so much better than mine. And, since this is a vital business tool, I can expense it, and then amortize it over three years."
I might then think yet further. "Wait. I am actually a Google employee, or likely to be invited to the next Google I/O. I'm getting one of these things for free anyway, aren't I? Cool."
So. By the time you get to the market that is looking at using the Chromebook Pixel to blog about whether or not the Chromebook Pixel is a good idea, your arrow is a long way from the heart.
Which probably suits Google. From the experience of the Nexus devices, we can assume that anything like the kind of demand that Apple experiences for its MacBook products would cause an immediate supply chain implosion and ginormous waiting lists. One might surmise that pricing it above comparable Apple hardware is a way to manage demand – only developers and serious Fandroids (two circles of a Venn diagram which tend to overlap) are likely to order it, thus avoiding the problems of the Nexus 4, which experienced unmanageable demand by being better and cheaper than almost every comparable Android phone on the market).
So, we can probably relax. Google is not challenging Apple with the Chromebook Pixel, or trying to, regardless of the marketing language. It is, rather, aiming to shore up the markets in which it is already strong, by helping to develop and deliver a better application ecosystem to non-iOS mobile devices.
If you absolutely want to spend $1300 on a Chromebook, of course, it is giving you that option. But I probably wouldn't bother if the logic of doing so is elusive. Just get an Ultrabook and put a Linux distro on it. Or, indeed, a MacBook.
Declare device choice vendetta on Twitter. Actually, please don't. It would be super tiresome.
*Looks like a typo, isn't. Trust me.
