 experience with Metro apps on touch devices
has been amazing. On desktops, I rarely have a reason to use them - except for
running a full-screen Kindle / Netflix app on an additional monitor.

FWIW, iOS7 and the latest Android UI actually borrow a lot from the Windows
Phone flavor of metro pretty heavily. The context switching between apps on
iOS7 is identical to what MSFT introduced in WP7.1 (Mango.)

I agree. On my (non-touch screen) laptop I hardly ever use the metro apps. I
like win8 but I just go to the desktop practically every time. There just
aren't any metro apps worth using right now (I basically only use this laptop
when i'm in front of my netflix-capable tv)

Decent Metro Apps: I recommend ReddHub - it's a pretty slick Reddit client for
the Windows Store. I use it on my Surface RT all the time.

Does anyone know why MAP focuses on the clearance rate? It seems to conflate
arresting someone with "solving" the murder.

I can think of some plausible reasons: practicality (easiest to collect,
stable over time), political (if your audience is the police, basing your work
on the assumption that they arrest the right guy is probably smart),
standardization (is it?), etc.

Wikipedia is fairly light, but does link to a pair of articles on the criminal
justice conflict vs consensus models, so it seems this is a potential can of
worms.

I'm really not moved by the "resources" argument all the PDs are giving.

Investigating murders is the kind of thing you do when you've run out of meth
labs to bust and black guys to beat. It's a high effort, low reward task. Of
course they'd much rather cut back there than not buy everyone tazers.
