Recent 20xx series? I don't think there was even a mention of VR, much less any kind of a PR drive.
RTX series cards have a dedicated VirtualLink VR connector on them for the next generation of VR/AR headsets. It's a single USB-C port capable of delivering power as well as ultra high def video signals needed for intensive VR. Nvidia will market it very hard when next-gen headsets hit the market.
I drilled holes into a shiny new ultrabook and installed microswitches and buttons from an old iPhone, then wired them in parallel with volume buttons and remapped volume in the OS to mouse click. This was so that I could have ergonomically friendly mouse buttons instead of the godforsaken Apple-style clickpad that it came with.
Someone told me this girl will become a billionaire if she can figure out how to make a heat-based car engine out of Peltier tiles. I replied with a long sigh and this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_engine
The Stirling engine was invented in 1816.
1. Float rumors of an absurd cash distribution to fuel stock speculation.
2. Insist that it is unrelated to recent bad PR about labor practices or upcoming bad PR about trademark infringement, timing is just coincidence.
3. Maintain RDF at all costs!
In order for QNX to meet the specialized requirements you're thinking of, every part of the OS has to be certified, which means nothing Blackberry produces will be useful to the military for 2-4 years at the soonest or it will be stripped down to the point that RIM will have no advantage.
Well, the Playbook got FIPS 140-2 certification back in July, and I believe is still the only tablet to have it. Which means when the government wants an approved tablet, there's only one on the list.
I'm kindof excited to finally have an rtos device in my hands, that I can develop for without learning proprietary C or ASM. 99cent iFart is great and all, but I want to build $99 iSecureMedialRecords or $99,999,999 iCIA
sounds like an industrial strength, secure platform that might actually be adopted by governments, enterprise companies, medical, etc.
not sure how it will be marketed to education and gaming though, except by showing nice 3d framerates
The device is worn about the face such that the evil stun rays are deflected or neutralized with specially formulated optical shields. The shields are cut into larger-than-eye circles for moderate peripheral protection and counterbalanced against the defender's ears. Some sort of plastic composite is used for the frame to provide wearer comfort and reduce costs.
The official patent title is stated above but a nickname has already caught on around the office: "sunglasses"
The very last words of the article: "There has been an increase in the number of thefts of hives across the world and in Germany beekeepers have started fitting GPS tracking devices to their hives."
Obviously the bee hives seem to work out even when outfitted with GPS transponders, which would be useless without a cellular or other transmitter. Unless they use carrier pigeons to transport the gps position back to the original owners. That could explain the lack of bees, with them all getting scared away by said pigeons.
And then who is responsible/liable for the accident caused by the thief when the car is remotely crippled? Policeman issuing the order, company enabling the system, or the technician who actually presses the button? What it really becomes is a practically useless system that will cost you $1k when buying the car and save you $5/month on insurance.
I meant to say Javascript, not java. But now that I think about it, the post probably is flamebait despite any actual point I was trying to make./sorry.
Sorry, the UI is actually written in JAVASCRIPT. And half the standard modules are written in Java, so that's why the JVM loads every time firefox starts up.
How can we ignore the most simple explanation for why Firefox doesn't scale well? It's written in JAVA. Until they fix this bug, it will only get slower and use more memory. IE could stand to be more modular, yes, but then spyware would be even easier to write. The way things are headed, even the browser will eventually be a remote app... back-ended with an IBM mainframe and competed against by an Apple iCluster of rotten fruit filled with bugs!
Raymond Chen would be iFired, or at least told to iRTFM.

Is Your GPS Naive?

Your post is quite self-deprecating, but I'll add some psychobabble icing by suggesting that this is a textbook inferiority complex. Either you or your vehicle is incapable or unwilling of driving high speeds, and this may be mirrored by your own failures in life to peers with higher ambition. You probably attribute higher driving speeds with higher value cars and, indirectly, financial envy. I pose two questions: If you could extend every one of your days by 30 minutes, would you? Would it be fair for you to have 30 minutes more than your neighbor? If a sports car were to pass you on the shoulder, spin out, and hit a schoolbus, would you feel guilty?
Drivers of 1920s and 1930s cars would call anyone an absolute maniac for driving 50mph. Equipment is a factor, as suggested by many people. I would feel lethargic cruising at 55mph in a Porsche and may cause injury by falling asleep at the wheel. However, until we actually have separated traffic areas for classes of vehicles, it's an issue of safety, not equipment. I have no doubt that my training and vehicle can handle speeds much higher than the speed limit, but there are other variables on the motorways. Specifically, there are other drivers who may be above or below my level.
Look at road track driving as an example of highly enforced traffic rules. The rules are stict and if you don't obey them, you are forbidden from driving. Europe has this figured out, making their traffic patterns reasonable and, most importantly, safe. The problem in the US is that drivers tend to be selfish and feel that if they can go faster, they should be able to, despite others lacking the same advantage.
You, my friend, fall into the opposite extreme, which can be just as dangerous. You are exhibiting a fundamental attribution error, assuming that every speeding driver is doing their deed out of spite for safety rather than a legitimate situational reason. By provoking road rage and violence, you become a practitioner as well. Some people have good reasons to speed and some are just jerks. But one day when my wife is delivering a baby in the back seat, I don't want to encounter a 'left lane avenger' any more than a Corvette playing slalom. Please be safe on the road and do not make it personal!

The push is happening over the holidays, things are in embargo now.
One of the engineers casually mentioned that his Quest had been rooted... which means that someone, somewhere can make a clean firmware replacement.

I have heard this 1% > $1000 several times, although I have yet to hear a reputable source for this statistic.
What's more revealing is that Apple has not disputed the number.

actually it was my hyperthreading that empowered the extra thrashing of cache

The police found out when their gold maxed to 2147483647. Everyone knows glitchers get caught.
Through-glass antennas are on millions of cars. Don't they exploit this kind of property?

I for one welcome the script kiddies who backdoored off a drm rookit installed on our future cybord overlords.
Her attorney's didn't enter a plea (or something to that effect), RIAA 'won' by default, and now the judge nullified that default behavior.
