Which i consider to be overly broad and limits innovation. Basically the laws state that unless you are an OEM, you cant install any custom monitor solutions in your vehicle. So because my old boss was an idiot and would watch Glengarry Glenross in his car, i cant have advanced custom monitors in my car, which is absurd.
whatever app is it that plays.mp4 files by default. After my video was done playing, i was left with Steve Buscemi's face on my screen as part of the app that sells video. I dont want to see that shit. I dont want my computer infested with advertising to that degree. Player and store shouldn't be blended like that.
He probably means Samsung put some extra touches on the touchpad driver so that it emulates the touch screen functionality (swipe in the from the side, etc). My wife's Asus T-100 does that and its infuriating
What you call 'reinventing the wheel' is actually undoing the stupid shit MS and Apple pull with their OS. I dont see any propaganda, i see a lot of ignorance and lack of vision.
Any lessons learned from the 1983 crash do not apply to today. The video game market in 1983 was incredibly tiny compared to now. It would be impossible to recreate that crash now now matter how much shovelware Nintendo puts out.
The cheapest one TODAY is $500. Think down the road 1-3 years. Intel and AMD are going to come out swinging hard with integrated GPUs next round. Hell someone might get crazy and commission a box like Sony and MS did. (PS4 costs $380 to build, if they can do it anyone else can too)
Antec 150-300 case, Celeron 1610 and a low profile 7750 is powerful, cheap, quiet and small. I built a prototype a while ago when the Steam box rumblings started, using the best OTS, low power stuff i could get my hands on. Further, Sony and MS's designs are pretty trivial, any decent sized OEM can make a box just like they did. The instant Steam OS finds the hardware sweet spot, the clone wars will have begun using cheap, commodity hardware.
Did it ever occur to you that any PC maker could commission boxes just like MS and Sony did ? The PS4 is just a fancy PC that costs $380 to build. You think they are the only ones capable of doing that?
Really? Because in 30 seconds I found 5 places selling it. Amazon can have one to my house by Thursday or i can drive to Frys 15 miles away and have it tomorrow.
This is some seriously weak troll shit. Steam OS can run a huge swath of emulation too. From MAME to 2600 to Dreamcast and more. Also, In home-streaming is coming, which lets you play the entire catalog of your Win PC games on a SteamOS box.
"Clothes - I'd imagine a lot of parents would love to be able to embed small emergency tracking devices in their young children's clothes so they can quickly check up on where they are at any time without relying on an easily lost external device. Or a teenager might wish to wear a hidden cell phone in her jacket for her own protection."
I go back and forth on this all the time. I could make and sell devices like that, but thats not the world i want to live in.
I REALLY dislike how they said the 2nd allows citizens to bear arms for self-defense. The 2nd FORBIDS the government from interfering with an armed citizenry. It doesnt allow anything, it constrains. I dont need a self-defense reason to arm myself.
If you want bigger, go with the new Bay Trail Atoms. Intel is scaling up and down the spectrum, from HPC to embedded) These particular devices are not meant for human interfacing or running a UI, but for the Internet of Things(really hate that name) and ubiquitous computing.
Just to update your knowledge, the new Atoms (22nm or better) absolutely destroy anything AMD is putting out in the low power space. My wife's Bay Trial (Atom) based Asus T-100 is astonishingly powerful for what it is.
Netgear has that too. I have a 801.11b network card from them that has various drivers for different versions. I'll agree on the Buffalo gear. I bought a 'Buffalo' Kuro box years before consumer NAS took off.

I keep hope that some OEM will commission a Kaveri/GDDR5 Steam Machine. Dell/Alienware might be able to get AMD to do it.

See, I can stand the win 8 integrated video app. It has ads in it. I dont want my computer to become an ad machine for Microsoft.

You would be surprised at what my Asus T-100 Atom 3770 can run.

WAHHHHHHHHHHH I want custom functionality without doing any work.........

I see the troll tag-team of tepples and cold fjord are in full swing today.
The never ending video card chase ended after the 8800 GTX. Any mid to top range card will last AT LEAST 5 years.
I would have made him do it.

You can use wired Xbox360 controllers directly.

And? the 2nd expressly forbids what you are saying should be done, so what OTHER solutions do you have?

You can now wire up a computer with a full comms stack to anything cheaply and trivially and you cant see how that could reshape computing?
