Shifting Apps To ARM Chips Could Save Laptop Batteries
An anonymous reader writes "When is an Intel PC not an Intel PC? When it moves applications such as Internet browsing and email on to an ARM processor because it can get longer battery life. And according to a story at EE Times, this hybrid Intel-ARM processor approach is being taken by PC makers as prominent as Dell. The problem for Intel: Why would you switch out of 'all-day' mode and use the Intel processor? The problem for ARM: lacking support from Microsoft for Windows; the applications it runs for the PC have to do so under Linux."
Have you used Windows Mobile? That's something I reserve for inflicting on only my worst enemies and only as a last resort. It's the Jack Bauer option of OSs.

That is an insult to Jack Bauer. He is competent and works 24 hours a day.

But only one day a year.
Yeah, but he spends the rest of the year describing everything he did on that one day to ad-nauseam, and he always makes it sound like he saved the world.
