Jokes aside, AMD's integrated graphics does quite well (at least both Sony and Microsoft were happy to use that in their last gen consoles).
However finding good laptop WITH GOOD SCREEN with AMD's APUs seems impossible.
PS Oh, and recently German amazon advertised new Intel's APU's (with Iris) for integrated GPU performance (still behind AMD's, while being much more expensive). Sigh...
Note that air is also very dry in saunas. 90C is nothing special, everyone can easily stand it for at least 10-15 mins.
Germans also do "Aufguss" (not sure what Fins call it or whether they do it) in 90C. It's when they also add humidity into the picture, normally in 3 rounds. Depending on Sauna/who is doing it, it can quickly get to unbearable levels.
Could you please elaborate, as I'm trying hard to imagine how on earth can that look "blue and black" as actually HIDING the context I clearly see gold color.
I used opera for years, was stuck with version 12, but now new Opera got most of the features of the old one, e.g. one key shortcuts, MRU tab switching, pinned tabs. The only thing that I miss in new Opera is "fit to width" feature.
Pardon me, but how does this show that Islam itself is not the problem? It merely shows that being Muslim doesn't save you from Muslim fanatics.
Now, examples that you have mentioned, pardon my cynicism, were more of a collateral damage. The terrorists weren't after these people because they were Muslims. However there have been dozens if not thousands of Shia Muslims vs Sunni Muslims terrorist attacks in Iraq.
Problems with Islam:
1) Apostasy in a crime punishable with the death penalty
2) To qualify as apostasy, one doesn't even to renounce Islam or join another religion, just questioning "fundamental tenet or creed" of Islam is enough. (e.g. Sharia law)
In 23 (!!!) (as you'd guess, Muslim) countries apostasy is covered through criminal laws (which is a violation of universal human rights) it is THAT bad.
Apple didn't allow competitors with DRM. (reminds me early Apple vs PC days) Music industry decided it's better to have no-DRM + competition, than Apple only DRM. http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12...
In short: Mr Jobbs refused to let other players in, to a point when major "music companies" preferred no-DRM to DRM dominated by Apple.
25th of September 2007 was when BETA version of amazon music came to life, but DRM free music from major players came later:
In January 2008 it became the first music store to sell music without digital rights management (DRM) from the four major music labels (EMI, Universal, Warner Music, and Sony BMG), as well as many independents.[1][2][3][4]
The music companies had argued that Apple, which dominates the digital music market with its iPod player and iTunes service, should license its copy protection software to rivals. But Mr. Jobs has refused, saying that such a move would invite several problems, including the possibility that hackers would crack the technology.
Which led to:
Now, some music executives are privately backing the idea of dropping the software from music sold through virtually every service except iTunes, in order to strengthen AppleÃ(TM)s rivals and potentially diminish Mr. JobsÃ(TM)s advantage. The major labels have been upset with AppleÃ(TM)s inflexibility on music pricing, among other issues.
Having better product never means you're an illegal monopoly. Leveraging your monopolistic position to fight competitors in other areas does. And exactly that is what evil EU is after.
Google can complain about "youtube losing money" while keeping ads price on youtube so low that competitors starve., cough. Google has too much power for "free open market" to be able to "regulate" it, OK?
EU has both legal and MORAL right to dictate anyone in EU market how to behave IN EU.
The "bunch of idiots" forced phone manufacturers to support USB charging, mobile providers to drop roaming charges, to allow you to switch mobile provider while keeping your old phone number, they forced Microsoft to un-bundle IE, PC manufacturers to offer windows-less version etc.
NONE of that would happen just out of "free market" without government pressing them.

In ancient Greece they had gorgeous sculptures (paintings too?) of gods all over the place (and oh god, creating those sculptures was a monumental effort), were they objectifying them?

North Korean leaders sculptures/paintings all over the place, because they objectify them?
I think not. I'm pretty sure all things above happen(ed) because people were/are WORSHIPING them.
Now tell me why it is different with the beauty of an attractive human body. Why is it objectifying and not worshiping?

How long did it take Apple to allow custom keyboards? Widgets, does Apple (finally) support them? What about widgets on the lock screen? Did Apple stop using rectangular icons with rounded corners?
And well, it sure goes both ways: When will Android ask me about an App trying to access my contact list? Did Google start always asking for a password when buying/installing things like Apple does?
So we need to quickly respond to demand changes, somehow. Truth is, that this need exists even if you don't go renewable, even in good old conventional power plants (although you need more of it, with renewables, indeed) and especially if you go nuclear power plants, which are supposed to run at near maximum capacity all the time:.

To elaborate (I'm neither gay, nor gay hater, nor Russian, nor iPhone lover, please spare me and don't try reading between the lines as there is nothing in there, really)
Russia has a law that basically forbids "as Good As You" approach. (that's where word "gay" comes from, to my knowledge) That is, by claiming being gay is as good as being heterosexual, or that gay sex is as normal as heterosexual sex, you break the law. The theory of Russian parliament is that such claims are effectively gay propaganda.
Now, Cook not only said that he was gay (which, frankly, could also have been interpreted same way), but also claimed it to be "a gift" from God. This, apparently, breaks the above mentioned law.
Stealing (e.g. learning / copying what others did, legally or not) is a great way to develop industry from scratch. Note that many things they do go far beyond stealing. E.g.: 1) Moon probe returning back to earth 2) High speed trains (this one started with importing technology from all countries with major know how) 3) Longest bridge in the world 4) Biggest dam in the world
My point is, the steal at times, but they are not limited to it.

Truth is, that this need exists even if you don't go renewable, even in good old conventional power plants (although you need more of it, with renewables, indeed) and especially if you go nuclear power plants, which are supposed to run at near maximum capacity all the time:.

I recall there were alternative chipsets for both Intel and AMD CPUs coming from companies like VIA and nVidia.
What about conservation of energy???
