Reading some of the linked articles, I found hints that the efforts to make plastic bottles and such more easily degrade in landfills is one of the reasons that the stuff is turning into small bits in the ocean. Welcome to the Law of Unintended Consequences.
I bet these folks having problems aren't using the recommended cone points on the bottom of their MacBooks. The cone points reduce vibrations, which in turn, result in more pure electron flow and computations which have more fidelity and life. 1s and 0s take on new oneness and zeroness that was heretofore only available on the largest supercomputers. Oh, and the grey lines go away, too.
From the summary, it says the material had "high gain photoconductivity." I don't know if that means relative to current CMOS and CCD sensors, but there are always "like to haves" with any technology.
Right now, I'd like to have something that shoots at ISO3200 and above with very low noise, something that is currently difficult without software noise reduction algorithms or only on very expensive cameras (e.g., the Nikon D3 shoots at up to ISO 25,600). If this new material were better in the sensitivity/noise realm, and not just cheaper, it would be a gamechanger.
Maybe it's not really correct, but at work, I frequently use terms like "hex eight thousand" and such like that. It's just easier than saying "hex eight oh oh oh."
I find that the tube-based computers produce executables with more "air" and "top end" that are missing from the transistor product. I also find that using gold-plated USB cables pass data with 1s and 0s that are much more pure.
Dr. Evil: You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have grannies with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! Now evidently my cycloptic colleague informs me that that cannot be done. Ah, would you remind me what I pay you people for, honestly? Throw me a bone here! What do we have?
RoHS is just one of those outgrowths of a nanny-state mindset, but one that has bitten Apple before, ironically enough. One of the chips that was a display driver famously would become desoldered. This was a mechanical/packaging/board layout issue, but some good old lead-based solder would have been much more flexible. D--n that RoHS!
The EU also implemented a standard for products that mandates the harmonics that a power supply can reflect back onto the power lines. This affects power supply design. Of course, it makes supplies for the EU market more expensive because of the need for an added series choke on the mains wiring.
Different voltages sounds great, until you consider it's not just a power supply/board routing issue. What is also in play is level conversion between the CPU and the RAM-- the [V_hi_min, V_hi_max] range. If the voltage of the signal coming from the RAM to the CPU on a data line is too high for the CPU, you've got problems.
The solution is a level converter chip, but that's another part with its own inherent problems: board real estate, power consumption, timing/slew (which affect how fast the whole memory system can operate), etc.
I couldn't of said it better myself. I know there doing the best they can over their, but for all intensive purposes the editing is very poor. As for the verdict itself, I could care less.
There is another really smart thing you can do too. When it is hot inside and not hot outside yu can open a window. That seems obvious but how many office building have openable windows? For some reason Architects like to cool office space with AC even if there is "free" cool air out doors.
A lot of server admins don't like to have to use windows in their environments, but they often do. They would prefer to use "free" options (free as in beer, speech, and cooling), but they are frequently forced to use windows instead.
Hmm, I'll humbly admit here on Slashdot--where knowledge truly equals power-- that I hadn't known that many multi-core chips were simply packaged together, not fabbed on the same die.
Seems like wire bonding and interconnect for a multi-die package would have to be very carefully done because of the clock speeds. When clocks go into the GHz region, that's the black magic RF domain where wires become effective antennae and all that. Doing traces on silicon allows a designer to route ground traces/pads around signal traces to mitigate traces "talking" to one another.

Scary that this dude is getting his Warhol 15 minutes at the wrong point in the project. Too bad.
Personally, I get pretty frustrated that the iFuse only has one button.

I got torchiered once, and it was fabulous.

Number Two: Middle aged men who drive Miatas.
Dr. Evil: [pause] Right.
Number Two: They're mutated middle-aged men.
Dr. Evil: Are they ill tempered?
Number Two: Absolutely.
Dr. Evil: Oh well, that's a start.
Slightly OT, so mod away.

Is this a problem for people? Maybe because I don't drink myself into oblivion on the weekends, I haven't ever had problems EUI.

This isn't his first flight. He's flown this thing a good bit and still has feet, apparently.

You mean there, I assume.
