I'm just going to say that in the time during which I had access to a roomba, it cleaned my rug like a boss. It may have shit suction, but it goes around and around and back and forth for as long as you let it, unlike a manual vac, which I have to push myself and which therefore goes over each section of floor approximately once.

Those are living expenses; they're not site-specific.

Many of the readily noticeable changes in Windows 8.1 (and 8) from previous versions were changes primarily to the UI. I'm more interested in technology and functionality changes. Are we ever going to see improved controls for audio output? Windows has a good system for controlling volume levels going out of a single audio jack. Many computers, however, have multiple audio outputs - two headphone jacks, one front-panel headphone and one rear speaker jack, or an analog and a digital output, or a headphone and an HDMI, or any combination of those. Currently, many audio chipsets (and their accompanying drivers) have support for sending different audio streams to different jacks, but support for this feature is up to individual programs. Very few applications actually give the option to choose the output device, and instead just use the default. It would be really great if the Windows sound mixer (which currently just changes application volume level) also gave a choice of output device. I would really enjoy being able to play my music through my speakers but have game sounds on my headphones. Do you know of any plans for such a feature in the future?
