Care to share the source of the info on the cloned CPU? It is likely BS.
It is virtually impossible to clone a modern multilayer CPU without investing time that would far exceed that required to DEVELOP that CPU from scratch.
And if they actually did that, kudos to them -- the design is rightfully theirs! They deserve to own it for doing the feat!
Modern high performance CPUs are enormously complex devices and manufacturing process is equally complex, but illiterate people keep saying 'cloned' or 'copied' as if they put it through xerox. Try 'cloning' it yourself first.
Successful business is 99% marketing. You will never make deal with the inventors cause they think their idea is worth millions and marketing is nothing.
Yes it certainly can although it would be rather pointless exercise. CPU producing companies provide very elaborate reference designs these days. You can get a design of a cell phone for next to nothing, legally. All you need is to repackage it into a plastic, customize firmware etc. Not a big deal.
But is is not going to go anywhere since actually producing and selling those phones (selling AT PROFIT, at least) will be all but impossible in the current market.
You don't understand how electronics works and developed.
It is not like they xerox iPhone or whatever. They create a functional copy that is in fact a totally new design. Nobody prevents you from doing the same in the US.
I'm certain that having encrypted and unencrypted copies of the drive will allow one to calculate the key that was used for encryption, or mathematically prove that the images do not match each other, indicating tampering.
"USB disk" has nothing to do with this. File system is property of the storage, not of the interface, be it USB, or SATA, or IDE. It is likely not implement as a USB disk to save cost, anyway.
Net result will likely be little or no fuel economy at all. I think they forgot to factor in the weight of the additional equipment that the car will need to carry in order to recover the energy from bumps.
And of course, I'd rather have a cheaper car and to drive on a smooth road than a more expensive car and crappy roads.
Well I don't know. I've seen a brand new Acer laptop that a friend has bought just a few weeks ago.
I immediately noticed that GUI is so slow. Every time you click somewhere such as open a display properties, a good fraction of a second passes before the GUI reacts and new window appears.
I suppose one could convince himself that the delays are quite small and this is actually normal. But I have a year old laptop with XP and I don't want to convince myself.
Take a match, dip one end into pine resin, put into water, and here is your low energy surface tension boat. It will race through water at an amazing speed until the resin runs out.
I agree. It's probably the dumbest story in a long time.
How SD cards are different from the rest of the stuff, like clothes?
Geese, like my colleagues and my family I have a lot of clothes. They are handy to move around, they have significant storage in a form of pockets. But some of them, notably socks, are very easily lost. We have also have run into some instances where it wasn't clear whose socks was whose, and have also started to see a need for a storage mechanism. I have seen shelves and closets and such, but have never actually used one. So: How do you manage and keep track of your clothes?
It's not so much the power of piezo, as the power of human voice. In active mode cell phone uses a lot of power, far more than the energy of sound wave humans produce when speaking.
Combine that with coupling problem (piezo to air) and efficiency of the piezo, and it will be clear that the article is utter nonsense.

Thanks for the info, those machining services are pretty cool!

Every application that is available today was available 10 years ago, some of them were actually better. Games are exception, of course.

Nah...
More likely a way to push adoption of the SilverLight. Those desperate unemployed will install anything on their PC for a glimpse of hope.
I mean, REALLY OLD. I've seen this email about a year ago when the Vista Capable story began.

"Two application on average" is a lie. Skype + Firefox that's already two, so for average user 2 is pretty much the minimum.
Throw in an ICQ or an occasional office document or MP3 player, and you are already over limit.

1. Microsoft is not that stupid. They know it takes more than 15 min to develop an OS.
2. Nobody cares about saving government money.
They don't really want to develop a new OS. All they want is utilize some money while developing a new OS.

How about manufacturers of camera phones? Without those bastards there would not be this issue.
Don't forget that fingerprints can be planted at a crime scene.

Please refrain making comments on this subject. You wrote complete nonsense there.
if you see spots of 'non-burned' color it's not dust. It's called dirt. I wonder why you chose to place a disc with dirt into recorder.
incompetent cops, really. Making such an important recording and not having it recorded on an alternative media warrants a gross negligence charge.
For christ sake, record it on DVD if you want, but get a 50$ voice recorder, just in case.
"were just a hair's width too big"
and is obstructing the door??? that's some horrible engineering.

Yes it's amazing how touchscreen is being pushed everywhere.
