Other code might be security service friendly by design as a small front company, gov fronted start up or via developers who had to make deals or had cash offers made by govs or got trapped under a US NSL at work.

By the way, did you even watch that battery test?

The 7 plus easily beat both the 6 plus (which I have, and which gets me about 4 DAYS of average use) and the 6s plus. No, it wasn't by 2 hours; but real-world battery tests are not scientific. The point is, the 7 plus DID have significantly better battery life than the two previous models, and that is going to stay true no matter the application.

And if you are doing something like listening to streaming music, where the iPhone 7 can take advantage of the A10's two "low-power" cores, the difference probably will meet (or even exceed) that 2 hour difference claim.

What's this, then? You haven't heard of the ST4000LM016 and Spinpoint M10P ?

See article:

http://www.techradar.com/us/ne... They were trying to sell it before it was ready and had to wait 2 years before an actual product. Microsoft put up a LOT of things for sale that weren't ready. Windows 1.0 wasn't even the worse. Try Windows ME (worst on record), Windows Vista (almost as bad). The best thing Microsoft ever designed were their keyboard (really nice!)

Oh, and like a driverless car, Windows 7+ will also take you for a ride (if you don't turn off Windows Update using the Services dialog): Whether you want it or not, whether you've agreed (outside of installing meaning you agree to the 10k+ word EULA), if Windows Update is left running, you will get a "free" upgrade to Windows 10! Complete with spyware (MS insists is "telemetry" data) that you CANNOT shut off (though you can turn some elements off in Enterprise apparently but not all).

Wow, who would have thought MS was so related to this topic, it turns out...it really is. The government agencies will of course put in a backdoor for "telemetry data" and "law enforcement". Makes me wish I could get a car from old day Russia, which had NO computers and you could repair yourself without proprietary software. Imagine a virus in your cars, or ransomware.

When I had to learn it I used "Windows 10: The Missing Manual" by David Pogue and published by O'Reilly (who I work for). I also noticed that several other sites listed it as a top book: http://www.techradar.com/us/ne...

A British something or other. Apparently he writes. He was also known for Twitting or whatever it is you do on Twitter.

More interestingly, he's also been recently floated as a candidate for some sort of official position within Twitter. During the January executive shakeup, someone at Twitter claimed that they'd be bringing in an outsider from the media world, probably in the same vein as Apple keeps trying to pretend that Dr. Dre has something to do with their business. At the same time Stephen Fry resigned his position in some sort of British extracurricular activity that I don't understand. There was speculation that Fry did so in order to free up time to devote to a new job at Twitter.

This was less than a month ago, but that's an eternity in the decadent amnesia of the internet, where nothing that happened yesterday matters. One might even think that this was a viral narrative being spun by Twitter, to build up Fry as a witty advocate for free speech before bringing him on board in atonement for what the trolls did. On the other hand, Twitter seems pretty determined to make the trolls part of their censorship process.

Then, when a project becomes more widely used, there will be domain experts looking at the sources

How long did it take for Heartbleed to become public?

It took 2 years. It took Microsoft 20 to uncover this little gem. Furthermore, Microsoft's products have always had many, many times the amount of security flaws than the open source equivalents had. By your reasoning, private companies are far worse, then.

Or maybe, we can accept that the world of software is complex. That we are not perfect. That we are mere mortals, not gods. That maybe, once every now and then, we all make a mistake that just so happens to be so perfectly subtle that we don't notice it for a really long time. By all means, if you never ever make a mistake, feel free to go ahead and show us all how flawed we are.

Hey, AMD, show us your new CPUs for 2016. Everything you got now is long in the tooth.

How right you are. But their basic problem has been that they were still stuck on old semiconductor fabrication processes. Intel has spent a bunch of money on fab technology and is about two generations ahead of AMD. It didn't help that their current architecture isn't great.

I'm not a semiconductor expert, but as I understand it: the thinner the traces on the semiconductor, the higher clock rate can go or the lower the power dissipation can be (those two are tradeoffs). Intel's 4th-generation CPUs were fabbed on 22 nm process, and their current CPUs are fabbed on 14 nm process. AMD has been stuck at 28 nm and is in fact still selling CPUs fabbed on a 32 nm process. It's brutal to try to compete when so far behind. But AMD is just skipping the 22 nm process and going straight to 14 nm. (Intel has 10 nm in the pipeline, planned for 2017 release, but it should be easier to compete 14 nm vs 10 nm than 32/28 nm vs 14 nm! And it took years for AMD to get to 14 nm, while there are indications that they will make the jump to 10 nm more quickly.)

But AMD is about to catch up. AMD has shown us their new CPU for 2016; its code-name is "Zen" and it will be fabbed on a 14 nm process. AMD claims the new architecture will provide 40% more instructions-per-clock than their current architecture; combined with finally getting onto a modern fab process, the Zen should be competitive with Intel's offerings. (I expect Intel to hold onto the top-performance crown, but I expect AMD will offer better performance per dollar with acceptable thermal envelope.) Wikipedia says it will be released in October 2016.

http://www.techradar.com/us/news/computing-components/processors/amd-confirms-powerhouse-zen-cpus-will-arrive-for-high-end-pcs-in-2016-1310980

Intel is so far ahead of AMD that it's unlikely that AMD will ever take over the #1 spot, but I am at least hoping that they will hold on to a niche and serve to keep Intel in check.

The ironic thing is that Intel is currently making the best products, yet still they feel the need to cheat with dirty tricks like the Intel C Compiler's generating bad code for CPUs with a non-Intel CPUID. Also I don't like how Intel tries to segment their products into dozens of tiers to maximize money extraction. (Oh, did you want virtualization? This cheaper CPU doesn't offer that; buy this more expensive one. Oh, did you want ECC RAM? Step right up to our most expensive CPUs!)

Intel has been a very good "corporate citizen" with respect to the Linux kernel, and they make good products; but I try not to buy their products because I hate their bad behavior. I own one laptop with an Intel i7 CPU, but otherwise I'm 100% non-Intel.

I want to build a new computer and I don't want to wait for Zen so I will be buying an FX-8350 (fabbed on 32 nm process, ugh). But in 18 months or so I look forward to buying new Zen processors and building new computers.

Want Android? Pay M$.

Wrong. Head over here and grab Android, no payment necessary to anybody.

Want Apple? You're probably paying M$.

Wrong again.

Want a PC? Unless you build it yourself, you're paying M$.

Nope. Still wrong. Even from the biggest vendors you can buy Linux laptops and there are plenty of ChromeOS-based systems from laptops to desktops. Even if you buy a PC pre-loaded with Windows you can contact the manufacturer for a refund of the license cost.

Even if you don't, they're still controlling the hardware specs.

No. No they aren't.

This is extortion and monopolization at its finest.

No it isnt extortion and certainly in today's realm of personal computing that includes everything from smartphones to tablets to PCs Microsoft does not have a monopoly by any definition. There are a wealth of personal computing options: Windows, various Linux distros, OSX, iOS, Android, Windows Phone, FirefoxOS, ChromeOS, etc.

Meanwhile, my blood ran cold when I read this knowing that LadyAda sold out. I guess she needed the money. So much for Adafruit.

Nobody "sold out", you're just upset at choice and competition. Competition is a good thing, we have it in personal computing and we should have it in the embedded space too. If you don't like Windows on embedded devices then by all means choose Linux instead, nobody is stopping you.

"The PC has stopped being the primary computing device of most people meaning that if they don't make it big on the mobile front they'll be irrelevant in the long run."

Agreed. But I think Microsoft will not "make it big" with mobile software.

Products that face low sales because of abuse and foolishness:

Windows: If you have Windows 7, why get a new version? At some point the version you have is enough. Apparently there aren't any new features in Windows 10 that are attractive to customers. Apparently the new features in Windows 10 are all anti-customer.

Google is becoming more and more abusive: F.T.C. Is Said to Investigate Claims That Google Used Android to Promote Its Products.

Apple iPhones: What will the future iPhone 7 have that the iPhone 6 doesn't have? Digital Turnip Twaddling? At some point people will stop rushing to buy new iPhones.

Apple watches? Now that Steve Jobs is dead, Apple no longer releases easy-to-use products. Apple now does the Microsoft thing and releases buggy products that it slowly fixes. Articles:

Now if we're using the PS2 as the benchmark... then everything else made by anyone, ever, was a failure. But expecting anyone (including Sony) to somehow replicate that success story is a tad unrealistic.

Microsoft has no business reason to allow people to roll back

Sure they do. Just because you can't understand it doesn't mean they don't. I suppose you think they have no business reason to offer ISO downloads of various older versions of Windows, but they do.

I dont think they will go to a paid subscription model. That would change them from being the only mainstream OS that costs money to the only mainstream OS that charges subscription fees. ms is losing really badly inthe phone/tablet market. Even their console isn't doing too well this time around ( http://www.techradar.com/us/ne... )

I can believe windows 10 will be the last version of windows and it will just be continually patched. ms sees the writing on the wall and when 10 is out they will be pushing their app store hard to get more pc programs into there so they get a 30% cut. All those sales will add up to more than they will ever get from a single customer in a OS sale. The app store will help their struggling phone and tablet line too.

NVIDIA promised their previous chip is comparable to PS4.

There is really no way that anything can look like a calculator compared to PS4

Not absolutely convinced they are that accurate, but none of the rates I've seen show much difference between the two platforms and you'd expect them to be very different if fragmentation was a problem.

I'm not convinced these are particularly reliable, but if fragmentation was the bogeyman issue it's claimed to be then you'd expect these rates to significantly favour iOS, and they don't, or even tend the opposite.

I think you meant to say Microsoft 10 phones.

Once their phones are compatible with Android, they're planning to ditch the Windows name.

Or you could have given it to someone who would actually use it for its intended purpose instead of being a dick about it.

Sure, I was a dick, but I didn't do anything Microsoft didn't do itself.

... There is no time savings from a computation unique to a Xeon chip, that cannot be replicated by a supercomputer cluster with software higher precision emulation. Its just more work and higher energy consumption costs.

We've got 4k TVs now. We had them when the current gen of consoles launched, and yet those consoles, which they want us to believe are high-end machines, only output 1080p; except that they don't even do that because in this, the age of 3840×2160, the best they can give us is 1600x900. I mean, hell, my nearly decade old Xbox 360 and 8 year old PS3 can belt out 1080p@30 for a large number of games. True, many titles on those systems suffer the same "not quite 1080p" issues, but really, did the new generation of consoles simply tack on different hardware with minimal increase in processing power? Were they trying to make as little progress as possible?

Take Advanced Warfare as an example. On the Xbox 360 it runs at (give or take) 1600x900@30 (1.44MP/frame, 43.2MP/sec), while the Xbox One switches between 1360x1080@60 (1.47MP/frame, 88.13MP/sec) and 1920x1080@60 (2.07MP/frame,124.24MP/sec). Are you telling me that, over the course of nearly a decade, and with the ability to offload some processing to the cloud, we haven't seen even a three-fold increase in processing power?

Yes, I understand the difference between CPU and GPU, and it appears that the Xbox One is being hamstrung by its CPU, not its GPU, in this case; Sledgehammer's engine renders at the anamorphic resolution when the data arrives late (because the CPU wasn't keeping up) and it doesn't have time to render the full frame. Of course, a faster GPU would help here, as well, but we all know a faster CPU is often cheaper, especially when we're talking about the difference between processing some data in .014s vs .015s (a 7% increase in performance), compared to pumping out a frame in .002s vs .003s (a 50% increase in performance). It's not like faster CPUs in the same class, with similar power consumption, didn't exist at launch time, and they're commodity desktop CPUs so there's literally no reason they couldn't have developed with the best chips available when development started and shipped with the best chips available when the first production run was set to begin; within the same class and power range, of course. That would have easily netted at least a 10% performance increase for, maybe, another $2 per unit. Which I'm sure most gamers would happily pay, ten-fold, for a machine that actually, and consistently, performs like the back of the box says it can.

The same may or may not have been possible with the GPU since, even within the same product line, typically more than just the clock speed is changed from one GPU model to the next, and we haven't seen a 50% bump in graphics performance in the power range these consoles are aiming for in much longer than it took to develop either of them. That's why I'm focusing on CPU, rather than GPU; and the cloud was supposed to make all of that better, for the Xbox One at least.

For what it's worth, the PS4 spits out Advanced Warfare and a solid 1920x1080@60, so maybe Sony followed my formula.

Actually... I decided to spend 30 seconds googling before posting this and... well, I'm gonna post my rant anyway, for all to see, because, as it turns out, Microsoft actually did follow my formula and increased the CPU clock by about 10% before production, while the PS4 has a (roughly 40% faster) GPU. I'm betting another 10% would've done the trick, though; and reducing the number of cores from 8 to 6 would have kept the power consumption and cost down. After all, studios want to be able to port to PC and they largely haven't figured out how to utilize more than a couple of cores at a time, anyway, so fewer and faster cores would seem to provide better performance, at least for this generation.

Now, please tell me how I'm wrong. Because I know I am, I just don't know how, yet.

Remember the Ubuntu phone? Remember what people were excited about regarding it? Notice how it hasn't been achieved due to various business cockblocks, thus leaving the gate wide open for someone bigger to step in? Hint hint.

Actually, there are a couple Ubuntu phones. Bq's Aquaris E4.5 was launched last month in Europe. (It's not the flagship device the Ubuntu Edge was suposed to be, but rather a semi-budget offering). And the Meizu MX4 Ubuntu Edition is a mid-range device.

As usual, you're working hard to spin things in the most negative light you can.

ARM is a power-efficient platform, but nothing prevents Intel (or someone else) from producing a power-efficient x86/x64 platform. Even the *current* Surface Pro 3 (which is a full i5 processor) can run for about 8 hours doing a "normal" workload. Reference: http://www.techradar.com/revie...

Intel is going to continue to improve the power efficiency of its processors, either by improving the power of Atom, or by further reducing the power draw on i3 / i5. The current generation of x86 laptops and tablets (including Surface Pro and other laptops made by other laptop manufacturers) *already* have less resources and hardware than a desktop. Which is precisely what you were frothing about. Are you ignorant of this, or just finding some tiny thing to hate on?

The truth is here sir. http://www.techradar.com/us/ne...

- Energy Use â" The Seagate drives were 7200 rpm and used slightly more electricity than the Western Digital drives which were 5400 rpm. This small difference adds up when you place 45 drives in a Storage Pod and then stack 10 Storage Pods in a cabinet.
- Loading speed â" Edge to Western Digital, by a little over 1 TB per day on average.

That didn't really make sense to me that the 5400 RPM drive beat out the 7200 RPM drive, so I did a bit of research.

The WD drives were the WD60EFRX. It's a 5-platter 6TB drive, or 1.2 TB/platter. It has 64MB cache.

The Seagate drives were the STBD6000100. It's a 6-platter drive, or 1 TB/platter. It has 128MB cache. Googling for it brings up contradictory information, listing it as both 7200 RPM and 5900 RPM. (Note: It's pathetic that Seagate doesn't list basic information like RPM on their website.)

So apparently the higher areal density on the WD (meaning more data can be written per rotation, and shorter r/w head strokes to move to a given number of cylinder tracks) is enough to overcome its RPM disadvantage. Given the results, it's likely the Seagate STBD6000100 is 5900 RPM drive, as 7200/5400 = 1.33 which would've exceeded the WD's higher areal density.

I'd caution though that Backblaze's application seems to be a highly sequential task. Peak transfer rates were over 7 TB/day, which is more than 80 MB/s. Given the larger cache and higher RPM (whether 5900 or 7200), I'd expect the Seagate drive to perform better under random read/writes.

So you are saying they are masochists that write everything from scratch, and automagically the binaries are eerily compatible between versions. And I quite remember not long ago they discovering a 20 year old bug - but hey, I could be wrong saying they reuse code and I do not believe their markeing. http://www.techradar.com/news/...

On the contrary the Surface Pro 3 has been reviewed very favorably:

You can argue all you want about how it may not fit your workflow but they have produced and undeniably good device. Macs still lack a touchscreen despite iOS apps easily being able to be compiled to x86 and run under OSX which results in you having to carry both a Macbook and an iPad even though technically it could be all done on one if the laptop had a touchscreen. Better for Apple if you have to buy 2 devices though I suppose.

That's odd. The Uber CEO is on record saying he wants to get rid of drivers in order to make the service cheaper. How's he going to get them to run errands for people if they don't exist?

MS do have a program for this, it's called the Microsoft Signature Experience - it's a selected range of hardware sold without crapware on it.

Alas, it only covers a tiny selection of hardware.

For desktops, I always buy parts and install Windows myself. For laptops, if it comes with a standard Windows medium, I'll bleach it clean and reinstall from scratch.

Laptops which make you burn your own recovery disks with the crapware on them are taking the piss.

I've already installed Linux Mint on my wife's W8 Touch screen laptop. She just stopped using it under W8.1 because the experience was so awful. Under Mint, she's happy. But I digress.

There's just a few things you have to change. If you want a dual boot, there is a little more to do, because when you enable the device to see another OS, it won't see W8. In my case, it didn't matter, because I had no intention of ever booting into W8 again. Overall, installing and using Linux is pretty easy.

Manufacturers will build 4K sets because consumers demand it

I'm trying to determine on what grounds "consumers demand it".

and don't forget that the internet isn't the only way to get a signal into a TV. It's a distant third after cable/satellite and disk players.

Which cable TV providers offer 4K? Which satellite TV providers offer 4K? And related to the question I asked above: Do disk players offer 4K yet? This article is less than a month old and claims that 4K Blu-ray Disc is "dead in the water".

I assume the software vendor is either defunct or is staunchly unwilling to support the product on a newer OS. If the system(s) can be isolated from the internet, then perhaps there is little urgency. You might consider requesting enhanced LPT port access from the VM vendor/maintainers. Maybe there's even some undocumented configuration option already. It sounds like that might be all you need, so maybe you can afford to wait for it.

Otherwise, have you already investigated everything here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-u...

If the MS ACT can't get you past the installer, then you might try modifying it. Another poster suggested using a hex editor, but that usually won't work on installers as they tend to verify their own signature. However, if the installer is MSI-based, you might be able to use orca and related MSI tools from MS (should still be available for free download) to alter the version-checking in the installer and repackage it. I have done this before. If the installer appears to be MSI-based yet is still shipped as an EXE, you should be able to unpack the MSI file from the EXE with administrative installation switches passed to the EXE (memory fails me; google is your friend). Also, some InstallShield installers are actually MSI installers built with IS, so similar techniques might work with those (but not with InstallScript-based IS installers). Most other installer types, such as Inno Setup installers, are not MSI-based.

If the installer is MSI but signed, then you're probably hosed. However, it might be possible to reverse engineer it if you can find a copy of an old tool called InCtrl5. It has a mode where it will take a snapshot of the WinXP system, then you run the installer, then run InCtrl5 again to determine what has changed and get a report detailing files, registry keys, and so on. If the application's installation is simple or you have exceptional patience and diligence, you might be able to achieve a manual installation on Win7 through copying files and editing the registry by hand (or building your own installer). Note that the InCtrl5 report won't reveal the order of changes, which can sometimes be important. If you're not intimately familiar with the guts of Windows installation, find someone who is, unless the installation is dead simple.

Once you work around the installer, you still might need to use the ACT to allow the application to run properly on Win7 (or later) with access to the LPT port for the stupid dongle. If you achieve that and also need to run this application on multiple systems, you can use the ACT to create an SDB file which can be applied to other systems using the sdbinst tool. Here's a reasonably good walk-through:

http://www.techradar.com/us/ne...

Keep in mind that some dongles allow having part of the application functionality embedded in them. If you've got one of those, and it also does an OS-specific verification within the dongle-embedded code, you're probably hosed. At that point you have to hire someone to crack the application, which probably won't make it past the legal team.

HTH. Good Luck.
