Fed-Up Belichick Takes Screen Out of His Arsenal. (The Hand-Held One.) - The New York Times

Final paragraph: "Microsoft said in a statement: “We respect Coach Belichick’s decision, but stand behind the reliability of Surface. We continue to receive positive feedback on having Surface devices on the sidelines from coaches, players and team personnel across the league.”"

"“They’re just too undependable,” Bill Belichick, the Patriots’ chronically unimpressed coach, said.

“It’s basically a problem every week,” he added.

“I just can’t take it anymore,” he said at a news conference Tuesday.

Was Belichick talking about backup quarterbacks? Properly inflated footballs? Nope. He was talking, of course, about the scourge of the N.F.L.: tablet computers. The Microsoft Surface tablets that the league uses on the sideline to provide images of plays are an I.T. nightmare, Belichick said."
