What a lot of the articles pointing this out don't mention is that the rules governing advertisers and what information they can get from the user without their knowledge/permission also changed. Ars points out that this change may make it easier for large third-party advertisers (e.g. AdMob) to get data from their users. I'm not going to argue whether the other changes to the agreement are good or not (I'm a little worried that allowing interpreted code, particularly flash, will lower the overall quality of apps available in the store). But some of the changes to the ability of third-party advertisers to get information on their users could be a serious problem.

Someone from D-wave is giving a talk called "separating hope from hype": http://arstechnica.com/hardware/news/2007/02/quantum.ars http://www.technologyreview.com/computing/20587/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-Wave_Systems

Sure but you know what, classical marxist communism came of age in a time when "the media" really was a capitalist enterprise entirely committed to its destruction and even today you could argue this. Who thinks the likes of Rupert Murdoch would give any regime that goes a different way from the US a fair shake ? Castro is really astute when he says that the internet, taken as a whole, isn't dominated by these traditional media empires which are owned by the capitalist class with a vested interest in the status quo. There's a lot of talk in the west of the "free press" but the fact is that for most of our history information has come from powerful information brokers aligned most of time with capital and the state. Just take a critical look at the history of the AP for example. That doesn't excuse the marxist stance on media freedom of course, but you do have to understand it is a cultural thing based on real blows dealt to popular movements in their formative years and not just "because they're evil."

Now I have to have Quicktime on my machine ... which I am not a fan of. And what's worse is that reviews are telling me that it's faster but with a crappier UI while at the same time Ping concerns me if it has my credit card information and is just a spam portal.

Even if it was a separate application, your credit card information is in apple's servers, not on iTunes itself.

Quicktime has always been required by iTunes though, since iTunes does not have any native playback. All playback of music is being handled by quicktime libraries.

So while I want iTunes to run faster, I definitely don't want anything to do with this "Ping" service

Good news: Ping is optional. It wont be active until you go into that Ping icon, turn it on and then create an account. You can't even do this by accident. So you can have the speed of iTunes 10 minus Ping.

My biggest problem is that support seems to wax and wane with actually moving songs/videos on and off an iPod with open source alternatives ... so that leaves me tied to the beast that is iTunes.

For what it's worth, yea, its inflated as an MP3 player, but iTunes stopped being about that long ago. iTunes is more of a store these days. There are bucketload of apps out there if what you want is just an MP3 player.

But there’s one piece of the Appleverse that I’ve always detested, and that’s the desktop version of iTunes. The ugly duckling of the iFamily, this program is hard to understand, hard to use, inelegant, and ill-behaved—in short, the very opposite of most other Apple products. I dread booting it up every day ...

Yeah, yesterday I bitched about this and have actively refused any upgrades to iTunes since 9 because I'm not sure if 10 is going to get better or worse.

Now I have to have Quicktime on my machine ... which I am not a fan of. And what's worse is that reviews are telling me that it's faster but with a crappier UI while at the same time Ping concerns me if it has my credit card information and is just a spam portal.

So while I want iTunes to run faster, I definitely don't want anything to do with this "Ping" service and if it's reminiscent of how they made me dependent on Quicktime (despite the fact that I have never used iTunes for anything video -- VLC kicks ass) I don't want auto-opted into something that I cannot get out of!

If you're looking for open source alternatives to iTunes: CDex, VLC and handbrake

My biggest problem is that support seems to wax and wane with actually moving songs/videos on and off an iPod with open source alternatives ... so that leaves me tied to the beast that is iTunes.

It is unlikely that it is much worse than most smallish p&s cameras. The sensor size (1/3.2") is worse, but there are a number of advances over regular point and shoots. http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/06/sizing-up-the-iphone-4-for-shutterbugs.ars

Personally I think the HDR camera mode is really cool.

Next thing you know, game developers will also want their fair share of the profits from online play. Because that's no longer included in the cost of the game. So they'll start charging you.

Yep. Yay for double, triple, and quadruple-dipping!

This is hardly their worst offense, but how did the Bush Justice Department ever let AMD buy ATI to begin with?

Perfect example of how to stay on-topic here. Also, it's a bit late to start complaining about that now. Also, to what relates "This"?

Are we really OK when there are only two major manufacturers of processors and graphics hardware?

I fail to see how this sentence relates to the previous one. Let's try a before-and-after comparison:
Before: AMD+Intel vs ATi+NVIDIA
After: AMD+Intel vs AMD+NVIDIA

Also, how about IBM+ARM vs SGI+Matrox+Intel? Apart from Intel's dominance on the desktop market, no other "manufacturer" (AMD is not a manufacturer anymore) comes even close to a monopoly.

I guess the answer is "for the same reason they're about to let United Airlines and Continental Airlines merge".

That would be a very silly reason, because UA and CA have the same target market and offer the same products. The situation is not even remotely comparable.

Don't they realize that every time one of these mergers happens, the end result is that Goldman Sachs makes a ton of cash, a handful of execs make a ton of cash, and a whole lot of manufacturing workers are thrown off the back of the train?

Ah, a disgruntled employee/consumer. Maybe next time you could start by stating where your rant is coming from?

Then they act like they don't understand why there are market "inefficiencies" and manufacturing is fleeing the US (and Canada). And ultimately consumers suffer, too.

That's because the (corporate) US is still based on the market=good mantra. Market inefficiencies don't exist, only over-regulation.

Oh, and yes, the Justice Department does have jurisdiction when a US company buys a Canadian company (or vice versa)

Funny. I hadn't even considered arguing that one.

It wasn't the signal speed that became a limiting factor above 3Ghz, but transistor power leakage current, which sort of goes "to hell in a handbasket" above 3Ghz.

http://arstechnica.com/old/content/2004/06/prescott.ars/2

But that sort of explains why Moore's law went all multi-core after Intel gave up trying to make 4Ghz CPUs that didn't leak power all out the wazoo.

Have you not seen the PSP Go and what a big mess up it is?

It's not a troll, and it's not a copy and paste. I wrote "Then I saw a game on sale for my PSP that I wanted to play", and that's what happened. When Patapon 2 came out, I didn't bother, and hadn't gotten around to playing it. The price drop to $8 was on the Playstation blog) on the 16th as a "Back to School" deal.

My PS3 controller seems to pair with my MacBook Pro 2010 when I plug it in, or at least lose it's PS3 pairing. It's perfectly reproducible for me.

My internet connection is a 6Mbps (see later in the post) DSL line. That was my experience, and Ars Technica had a simmilar experience with slow download speeds and the problem of firmware updates.

I understand firmware needs to complete or my device will brick, but I want to do the update on the AC adapter. I haven't run into a device that isn't happy to have the AC for a firmware update before. I did notice it doesn't need to be full. It was happy at the 70% or so my new batter was when I opened it.

The fact that we weren't getting repurposed HDTV screens back when 1920x1080 was new hotness was a scam. It was a collusion between LCD manufacturers to keep prices high for both computer monitors (which were available at 1050-pixel vertical resolution for no good reason) and TV screens.

Now you get higher resolution by either adding a second monitor or getting a humungous monitor. Higher resolution on the size of monitor you have now may not do you any good, unless you want 3D without the goggles in which case a multiplier of current maximum pixel densities is an awesome enabler.

Ars Technica covers a story about cops needing a warrant in DC.

Thinking like that cost AMD $3 billion in goodwill value from when they bought ATI, and led them to have to sell off their production facilities and become a design and marketing company.

"Fusion," the project they had in mind when they made the acquisition, was supposed to be out three years ago.

What they'll release this year or next will be a small, low-performing CPU melded clumsily to a small, low-performing GPU.

And Intel already did it.

>>>It's necessary to study what makes an OS popular to gather some more share from Microsoft.

Easy. The same thing that killed off the Atari ST, Commodore Amiga, and the Apple Macintosh (almost). Offices. They picked the IBM PC as their preferred platform in the early 80s, and it just continued steadily from there. And consumers of course bought what they had in the office, because it was familiar to them.

TRS-80 was the #1 selling computer in the late 70s. Atari 400/800 held the mantle in 1982, followed by the mass-produced Commodore 64 (30 million units sold). But by 1987 IBM PC was the #1 machine and nobody else could touch it. The competition was driven into bankruptcy by the mid-90s (or in the case of Apple - almost bankrupted).

And because IBM PC was successful, so too were PCDOS, MS-DOS and MS-windows, by default. See the chart for yourself:

Steve said...

Yep, freedom from programs that steal your private data. Freedom from programs that trash your battery. Freedom from porn. Yep, freedom. The times they are a changin’, and some traditional PC folks feel like their world is slipping away. It is.

If Steve thinks the desktop metaphor is too difficult for most users, he'll take it away from everyone. If he thinks only signed applications should be allowed to run on your computer, he'll make it so. Of course, Microsoft could do the same thing, but Apple is certainly more likely to make those decisions. I can only hope they will keep the "mouse option" for pro creative users, but with Apple randomly removing FireWire, ExpressCard slots, and still failing to provide professional level graphics cards, most people see the writing on the wall: average joe consumers along with iPods and iPads are the future. Steve is a smart guy, but I wouldn't put it past his ego to declare the end of computers as we know them.

OS X developers think the same thing.

Last week, we also hosted a live chat featuring several developers whose apps were picked for our Ars Design Awards for Mac OS X. We asked them what they thought about the future of Mac OS X and Apple's development platform during the chat, and then followed up on their thoughts about languages and APIs. While current Mac developers aren't nearly as concerned as our own John Siracusa about the Objective-C language in particular, they do see new and improved APIs coming down the pike. Developers are seeing iOS influencing Mac OS X instead of the other way around.

The developers on our panel unanimously agreed that Mac OS X will eventually be subsumed by iOS, but that the Mac has plenty of life left. "Mac is the awesome old grandma, whose kids (iPhone & iPad) have left home," Atebits' Loren Brichter said. "Not dead; not really dying. But it's our job to keep her comfortable until she's gone."

No contest indeed, moron. Who summoned you?

APK - The "Ultimate" Collection - mandatory nighttime reading for Ars newbies (or anyone)

First of all, it's 2680GB, so it's more like 2.6TB. Second of all, where are you getting your data transfer prices? Amazon has some of the lowest prices around (unless you count the "unlimited" bullshit on dreamhost or something), and even with the >150TB discount it's $0.08/GB, bringing the bill to $214. Of course AWS's pricing isn't directly comparable to an ISP's but that's the best I could find. Finally, Telenet's most expensive offering is 99 Euro, so effectively everybody else is subsidizing this guy.

Interestingly, Telenet says that they are not complaining, but are showing this to encourage users to switch from the capped plans to the more expensive ones. The trick is that the expensive ones have a "fair use" policy, and they can slow your connection down to 512 Kbps until the next billing if you download twice as much as the average user.

they don't need to patent that. why use biometrics to detect the HUMAN using the device. jailroken-ness can be detected w/o biometrics. this is a measure to prevent unauthorized use (as it it's not your device to begin with)

http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2010/08/apple-considering-identification-of-unauthorized-ios-users.ars?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss

The patent, titled "Systems and Methods for Identifying Unauthorized Users of an Electronic Device," describes several ways a device could sense who is using an iPhone or iPad. Among the methods considered are voice print analysis, photo analysis, heartbeat analysis (!), hacking attempts, or even "noting particular activities that can indicate suspicious behavior."

If the various analyses detect someone who is not authorized to use the device, it could set off a number of automated features designed to protect the device's data, suss out the offending party, and alert the device owner. Sensitive data could be backed up to a remote server and the device could be wiped. The device could automatically snap pictures of the unauthorized user and record the GPS coordinates of the device, as well as log keystrokes, phone calls, or other activity. That information could be sent along with an alert to any useful service, such as e-mail, voicemail, Twitter, Facebook, or a "cloud service" like MobileMe.

Actually we need to ban all drawing materials as well.
http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2010/01/simpsons-powerpuff-girls-porn-nets-jail-time-for-australian.ars

Also, since when isn't iPhone jailbreaking associated with piracy?

I know more people who have done jailbreaking for things like tethering than piracy. Regardless, when you've got the Library of Congress ruling that it's a legitimate behavior, that's further distanced the two.

It doesn't matter what the damage is, just measure the emissions. We can assume damage is proportional to emissions. We also know that riding a train is better than driving a car. So raise the tax on emissions enough to make people ride trains instead of driving cars in these densely populated regions.

SSD is already in many places (see smartphones). In fact, the first hard drive design was, in essence, an SSD, see here.

The big thing is, SSD can do whatever you want it to do by design (capacity, speed or both), but it is only fairly recently that the compromise between capacity and speed has become acceptable to desktop and/or server machines. And, to be fair, only with NAND chips.

This is one part of the answer. The other is, even the notion of a "database" itself is changing: RDBMSes (CA wrt CAP) are not the "be all and end all" of databases anymore, see for instance Cassandra (AP wrt CAP). [CAP: Consistency, Availability, Partition tolerance - lookup "CAP theorem" on Wikipedia]

So, your question really is a twofold question, and there is no definite answer. Just consider the angle which is of most interest to you.

The speed changes in webkit are being backported to KHTML.

This may serve well to provide sandboxing for Android in place of Java

Wouldn't that suggest that three dimensional chips be the logical next step. Although heat dissipation would become more difficult, not to mention the fact that the production process would be an order of magnitude more complicated.

IBM has been working on that. That story is two years old.

Have you ever used a PC for gaming. It sucks. you need a dedicated keyboard *and* mouse to play anything :)

sure, phones aren't designed for gaming controls (erm, except the upcoming Playstation phone) so I doubt anyone would expect great things from it. If gaming is to take off on the phone, then I expect to see accessories to become available - like a keyboard and mouse - and a hdmi connector to the TV so your gaming experience on your new small PC ...erm phone... is as good as the experience on your large PC.

Android -> Java.

So no.

Android -> Dvalik.
Android also has support for OpenGL and Native C++ Code, but still probably no.

The real time "shadows" seemed to be just dark spot decals.
Also, I didn't see any dynamic lighting besides the most basic directional vertex lighting on the moving models;
Otherwise it looked like a bunch of precomputed lightmaps/textures to me.

Meh. It's "Rage" (or IDTech5) only in name.
Many Android phones could handle this no problem...

I don't see what the big deal is. Article title should have been: "id still making mobile games and releasing source code"

The big question here being: How accurate is that display? How easy is it to tamper with?

Prime example: I'm using an HTC Desire right now. More or less the same phone as the Nexus One...

On the original HTC ROM, heavy display usage (high brightness, display on for over 70% of the entire discharge time), the display power usage is about 5-20%.

On Android Open Source Project ROMs (compiled directly from Android source - CyanogenMod, AFAIK, and OpenDesire up until 3.0.5), the display power usage is listed as being between 50% and 80%. On OpenDesire, this was flagged as a supposed bug, and since version 3.1.0 it displays the same minimal power usage as the HTC Sense ROMs.

Now for my conspiracy theory: The Desire and Nexus One were the first HTC smartphones with AMOLED displays. One of the marketing features was lower power consumption (complete bollocks, though - in real-world use you need to keep the display relatively dark to even match LCD power consumption: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2009/08/this-september-oled-no-longer-three-to-five-years-away.ars ... The article is a few years old, but I doubt they've improved/reduced the power consumption by 60-80% in this time), so they screwed with the display statistics to make it seem like the AMOLED display uses less power.

Of course, it's possible that it really was just a bug in the straight-from-source ROMs, but hey... my battery life with the screen running is far worse than on my old Milestone. I vote for conspiracy! :P

Aw did I say something you didnt like? The fact that the ONLY ones that will make the 'net neutral' laws will be the very ones you want to be beholden to something? Or perhaps you missed my point.

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2010/08/att-keen-on-verizongoogle-net-neutrality-proposal.ars?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss

Notice who is cheer-leading the latest set of changes... Att and Verizon. The VERY ones who need the "gentleman's agreement" codified.

Be careful what you ask for. You are asking congress and fcc to get in there and make laws. You may just end up with more than you ask for. I never said they shouldnt in fact it is a good idea. However, you are also asking the very same group that just a few days ago that couldnt be bothered to fill out the summary page on a bill to make something. What are the chances that it would actually help us? You can see the normal political sides being masterfully played by the astro turf groups. Where I live I have seen first hand telcos writing state law line for line and then just handing it over to some local bought off politico to be voted on.

We need this, but I am skeptical we would even end up with something that helps us. Instead we will end up with something from the very people you accuse me of being from. I think instead of getting what we need we would end up codifying the 'status quo' of duopolies and corporate kickbacks.

Also how do you think those dudes ended up with monopolies? By laws that only let them into certain areas. There are many states where the local government are banned from building any sort of infrastructure (you know things governments should be doing). Instead it must go to some sort of external group. Even if it would be better for the local govs to build their own. How about the line sharing rules that are non existent? Because they were slowly eroded piece by piece BY LAW to cement in the local monopolies.

If there was real competition this would not be such a huge issue. Instead by the very nature of the laws we have, we ended up with a small group who just mirror each other and act in a duopoly fashion.

Along with what you're saying, the lowest-population states have the best broadband competition because no ISP wants a regional monopoly in those areas. link

If you had a dozen ISPs from small to large to choose from (with reasonable rates and bandwidth thrown in as a bonus), net neutrality would be a moot point. I never thought I would ever say this, but we either need the FCC to regulate net neutrality or start looking to Arkansas as a model for internet access.

Congratulations. You are an anomaly. The vast majority of people have access to only one or two ISPs. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2010/03/national-broadband-plan-arrives-quoting-shakespeare.ars

A quantum memory may be all scientists need to beat the limit of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, according to a paper published in Nature Physics.

According to a group of researchers, maximally entangling a particle with a quantum memory and measuring one of the particle's variables, like its position, should snap the quantum memory in a corresponding state, which could then be measured.

This would allow them to do something long thought verboten by the laws of physics: figure out the state of certain pairs of variables at the exact same time with an unprecedented amount of certainty.
