The low-powered, RISC space is where AMD needs to go. It doesn't necessarily have to be ARM. Instead, there's a market for low-powered x86, which is where Intel is going with Haswell. AMD needs to get ahead of the game and create something that is capable of power sipping (which obviously won't be x86), but is also capable of running legacy x86 code at reasonable speeds.
Look into Bobcat and derivative architectures from AMD.
No, that's different. A fridge typically uses an electrically powered compressor to move heat from inside the fridge to the outside, which is why it gets warm. It's not using heat as a power source.
Err. Maybe I am missing something but don't you WANT the light to pass through the LCD?
Yes.
In other words the 1% that you claim 'gets through' is actually the wasted light and it's the other "99%" that actually provides any value?
No, that contradicts what you just asserted. I don't know where their 99% vs 1% numbers originally came from, but assuming they're accurate, they're suggesting that the 99% of backlight that doesn't get through is wasted energy and a massive battery killer.
And actually the US is not fourth out of 196 country, it is fourth out of some arbitrarily chosen countries. I looked up a few countries and, while the US is at 2.78%, Japan is at 3.13% and Germany is at 2.81%. So it's in sixth place at best.
Compared with Europe, and especially Asia (notable by its absence in the table of top adopters of IPv6), US has a much larger pool of IPv4 addresses left, so there is less urgency to adopt IPv6. And yet there it is, up in fourth place. The only region with less urgency is Africa.
Were you even paying attention? You tried to give an excuse why USA shouldn't be leading, which didn't refute the argument that they're in a position worse than fourth, and then you claimed they're still in fourth.
This is true, but my point was "certainly won't be more than $900" implies it could definitely be in the ballpark of the "dead in the water" $775 number that drsquare came up with.
I highly doubt the cloud is going to allow just sending a copy of your binary to run and then return the results. It'll have some specific API with security focussed restrictions compared to what you can do with optimised code on the local console.
Maybe because it's extra work for developers. They will need to write the code to work standalone on the Xbox One anyway in case internet goes down etc, and if they already have that code which works fine locally there's not much point putting in extra work to write a second implementation to push it to the cloud.
That's to get something roughly equivalent to the lastest consoles, it adds up to around $775, or about £520 at $1.50 to the pound. If the consoles cost that much they're dead in the water.
Preorders seem to be around $900AUD for the Xbox One based on a quick glance online.
I think it's safe to say that the state of instant messaging is truly fucked right about now.
Google seems to keep making bone-headed moves it thinks will drive people to actually start using its moribund Google+ network; and, like all the past moves, it almost certainly will not work.
I say this somewhat - but not completely - tongue in cheek: Will we see a day when Google decides Android phones can no longer do SMS, because "our new GMS (Google Messaging Service) provides a superior messaging platform through integration with your Google+ circles"?
I wouldn't be surprised... Hangouts will eventually integrate SMS too.
Gtalk is a small light memory demand application. I generally set it up to run whenever a computer boots. A browser is much more memory intensive. To use the Gmail page as a Gtalk client you not only would have to keep the browser running whenever someone else might want to talk to you, but you would have to keep a browser window open on your Gmail page. And aside from the memory demand issue, that could also be a big security issue, particularly if you want to be available from computers that others might get access to, such as from work. I don't log out of my computer every time that I go to get a coffee refill, and don't want to, and sometimes those little trips outside of one's office can turn into multi-hour meetings or firefights. I wouldn't want to get into the habit of leaving my browser logged into my personal mail account (or have to have multiple ones that my friends are expected to search through to find me), it is just too much of a security risk.
Um... where do I start? I was commenting on the availability of the Hangouts replacement, not Gtalk, there is no desktop application for Hangouts that I know of which would seem to go against NotBorgs complaint of requiring a specific application to access an online service. Also, how does security come into play here? If you're leaving your computer unlocked while logged into your Gmail page and worried that people might do something, lock your computer. Using the Gtalk application logged in instead of a browser doesn't prevent others from accessing your account.
Using Dell and quality in the same sentence, hell - post at all, invalidates your entire argument. Go back to answer Dell Help Desk calls...your numbers are dropping. Tell them to rebuild their pc again to solve their printer problem...
You just invalidated your own argument by including the offending words in the same sentence.
Problem is, since iTunes uses DRM there's enough of a DMCA argument to tie up developers in court unless they've got their own arsenal of highly paid lawyers.
Yes, that's what SuperFetch does and is supposed to do (assuming it doesn't go full retard, it's more reliable in 7). The link I provided was just official clarification that Windows doesn't bother using it (and other technologies) with SSDs.

Surely there's at least one mother or wife who works in IT...

A bunch of tethers around major buildings aren't going to stop kamikaze hijackers, they're trying to crash.
Using wind from what atmosphere?
Then they'd potentially be violating cybersquatting regulations themselves of which they're accusing the current owner of this domain.
Software wise, they are more optimised than a generic desktop OS. Hardware wise, this is just a locked down PC.
4 cores + HT is the most that Intel offers for desktops at the moment, and they outperform AMD.
They've got some 6 core CPUs too.
It's not, it's just a coincidence.

My apologies. I must be new here.
They have an Android app, an iOS app, a Chrome plugin, and a browser agnostic web page.
From what I've read, it's still XMPP, but they've just severed server-server communications so you can only talk to Google+ accounts over XMPP.
Problem is, since iTunes uses DRM there's enough of a DMCA argument to tie up developers in court unless they've got their own arsenal of highly paid lawyers.
Higher voltage? I thought it was just higher current.
