What, you want them in Altarian Dollars? Can't do, as they no longer exist. I wouldn't bother with Triganic Pu, that has too many problems. Or how about one Ningis, you can get eight of those for one Pu, but nobody has ever rich enough to own one Pu so it isn't worth thinking about.
Their LTE implementation will not allow for simultaneous calls and data. It is not '4G', but 3.9G, it still uses 3G technology, and one of them is voice. You'll have to wait for LTE-A, which the rest of the world is waiting for, that is 2-3 years away.
This time next year, we may be saying 'quad-core Cortex A9 smartphones *just* hit the market', and the NGP will have been out for a couple of weeks which just hit the market. 12 months to catchup, doubt it, 24 months yes.
Orginal Gameboy almost sold 119 million, Gameboy Color sold 118 million, Gameboy Advanced sold 81.51 million. This is not including the other variations to the Gameboy series, like the Micro, Light, Advanced SP etc. Not forgetting Nintendo had competitors like the Sega Gamegear.
60 million of all PSPs over 7 years is indeed shabby.
Betacam is essentially the same tape, from SP through to HD-Cam SR. Betacam is backwards compatible - You can play small or large Beta-SP tapes in a digibeta deck, or digibeta tapes in a HD-Cam SR deck. They are brilliant formats, and still used today. Mind you, a digibeta recordable deck will still set you back £40,000, or HD-Cam SR for around £90,000.

I think the closest match to this device now would be the iPod Touch in terms of pricing the NGP. You pay more for a phone just just because it is a phone. A 32 GB iPhone 4 is £612, the iPod Touch is £254. The other components in the iPhone (IPS screen, 3G radio and camera) do not add up enough to charge the extra £358, they charge more for a phone because it what the market will pay for the product. I don't think the market would pay £600 for the NGP.
The NGP may be generations ahead of smartphones now, but the current PSP hardware was released in 2004, 7 years ago. Smartphones will catchup in 2 years or so, do not forget that the NGP is just under 1 year away from being launched so smartphones will be closing in on specs.
Sony may start the NGP selling at a loss, with costs going down through the years, finally making a profit on each sale. Who knows, it could be £250-300 at launch. PSP launched at £179, with inflation and costs of materials increasing and exchange rates, £250 is a reasonable comparison to the PSP and NGP.
A reporter, newscaster or presenter will report on the facts, a commentator gives opinion.
Fox News is all commentary and skew and flip stories. BBC News is mostly news casting, and only report on the fact, with no biased slant, in most cases.
Only time you see reporting getting slightly skewed at the BBC is when they are dealing with very sensitive subjects, for example they have embedded journalists in Iraq where the story is that given to them by the American and British forces, and is not representative of what is really going on. 'Collateral Murder' went through the press as the story given by the USA army that was totally inaccurate to what happened. The embedded journalists have to obey the news given out by the forces, if not agencies such as the BBC wont get on the front-line of what is happening. Wikileaks served to undo the PR machine that the US government have.
I noticed that if you are using Firefox 4 betas/Minefield nightly builds, they use HTTP Strict Transport Security to good effect. Facebook is always HTTPS, including its sub-domains. Other browsers tend to go back to HTTP once you navigate away from the home page, or load unencrypted images and videos while the code is encrypted.
As for the article, I remember back in the mid and late 1990's when Acorn Computers had ARM powered desktops that were faster than x86 at the time, faster than what both IBM and Intel had to offer.
Intel 386DX vs. ARM 6 66MHz or Pentium II 300MHz vs. StrongARM 600MHz. It's a shame Acorn Computers are no longer.

Or the Apple II or Apple III.
The master key is hard burnt in to ROM inside PS3's. There is no way firmware can change this key.
4G is years away, and implementations of prototypes are still in the lab. American operators are advertising 3G as '4G', because they can.
So, if these people get sued, perhaps Google and other search engines should get sued too?
See what?
I have actually seen this working the the University of Birmingham. It's impressive, but it's small.
A video I saw on my local BBC news the other week too: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-12338447

Look to the left, I see /. use 'cloud' in their stories links, or has it always been there?
What do you mean by a 'Kelvin bits per second modem'?
You failed like the parent.

Or want to play more recent Bluray films, you need to update. :/

Doesn't render correctly in Firefox for me, which is a shame.

Interesting he links focus and convergence.
I have known convergence in the home was a problem, but not in cinema as you are sat far away from the screen it is not.
I have been raving about 3D TV in the home for quite a while saying it does not work: http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1699658&cid=32705980
Don't you mean; Auntie believes so?
I don't think there are any today.

I thought the same. I've never known anyone to have to ever pay to receive a call.
This is one of the main arguments to Facebook being over valued. Data from European Union users is worthless — You can't do anything with it.
Data protection laws go beyond the UK, and are used in the EU too.
Thank you. I cheeked and I have them all deselected.
Phone numbers and home addresses are public knowledge already — it's called a phone book.
If you want to be ex-directory, then you wouldn't put this info on your Facebook profile in the first place.
