"Runs smoothly" would be a selling point. "Amazing graphics" would be a selling point. "Long battery life" would be a selling point. But the number of bits of silicon inside the phone really isn't going to attract many consumers.
I can't talk about runtimes, but my window manager is currently taking up less than 3% of my CPU. If yours is sucking up dramatically more than that then I'm somewhat surprised...
Just to say - I love the awesome bar. I think it's, well, awesome. Makes it so much easier finding something I know I looked at recently, but can't remember exactly where.
As TFA says, they didn't show them the actual people, they showed them a CGI version of the dance moves that the people had carried out, put together using motion capture.
They can give the AMD brand a big boost by associating it directly with the graphics cards - and it will probably mean that people buying an AMD graphics card will be more likely to buy an AMD processor to go with it.
I'd be absolutely fine with this - if you could get a refund from the original ticket company at your whim. If I can't go to a concert at the moment I can resell the ticket. If they stop me doing that then they should refund the money (heck - keep the processing charge) and then resell it to someone else.
Some more art, sure. But not in proportion. Once you got "trees" and "cars", etc. you need to tweak them for successive levels, but you don't need to necessarily build whole new ones from scratch.
The problem is that the expensive part of the game is usually the engine+art assets. Once you have those, the level design is usually the cheap bit. Making a 5 hour game is still cheaper than a 40 hour game, but not by as much as you'd think...
It's interesting that the two highest voted comments here both assume that this is looking at the patient's DNA, whereas the article seems (to me) to be saying that it's looking for the DNA of specific diseases - in order to tell you if you have them.
So next time you're feeling under the weather you can put a few drops of blood into the device and it'll tell you whether you have a cold or smallpox, without you having to trek to the Doctor and possibly waste both time and money.
I'm looking forward to all of the "Use both of my eyes? Why would I want to do that? I also prefer my games in black and white, and with subtitles held up between scenes rather than hearing the dialogue. Also, I have live musicians sit next to me on the bus and play the game music." comments.
Because the researchers raise your second point themselves: "More research is also needed to determine if these findings apply over the long-term, Weis said. "It could be that the novelty of video games wears off after four or six or eight months, and they basically don't play as much as they did when they first got the system," he said."
You agreed to pay for content X. Then they offer you access to content Y for an extra sum. When they wrote Y, and how they deliver it to you is _none of your business_.

The iPhone has been available across numerous phone service providers for years now. Android is still doing very, very well...
Wall clock time? My PC never seems to be waiting on something being drawn, so I'm not sure why graphical fluff would be a problem.

Hacker News is my current favourite alternative.

I quite like it. It's nice and simple.
Note: Android manufacturer. I have a choice of manufacturers, and a choice of phones, and I can choose one that doesn't do this kind of thing.
Then he has an online journal, where he wrote about this:

ATI graphics cards work just fine with Intel processors. I don't believe there's any move to stop them doing so when they rebrand.

You do only need the three books. Nobody is forcing you to buy any other books if you don't want them.
And you can have just as much original thought and creativity in 4th edition as in any of the others.
FPS games tend to spawn most things in front of you.
Top-down games spawn all around you, because you can see behind you just as well as you can see in front of you.
Looking in only one direction at a time would be crippling.

Sadly, that would mean buying a router with more ethernet ports spare, and then running a cable across the middle of my living room.
If someone will just produce a small form-factor XBMC-dedicated box then I will be very happy indeed.
At the moment I use a hacked Apple TV, which is perfect, except that it's too slow to play HD content.
