Are they investing in higher resolution? Because without that, most of the market at the current price levels is saturated with "good enough" screens and wont see much of a point in upgrading Affordable 1920*1200 screens at 22 inch, and 2560*1600 or 2560*1440 at 24inch or 27 inch will get atleast the monitor market moving again (and GPU market)
What happens IF a vetted app is discovered leaking private data, and it leads to some bad consequesnce? Is Apple liable for damages in that case? Essentially, can one blindly trust and install vetted apps?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isnt the major cost of a chip the recovery cost of R&D and not the cost of the physical materials? If so, it would have only meant a longer time of recovery for R&D costs and not inability to make a profit at lower costs
My concern is that a private corporation might mass produce drones to take pictures and identify objects and build a huge search engine for it. Or perhaps just add the data to a massive database they have already.
Google Earth Street view 2.0? (not just restricted to ground level)
But with Intel you always have the option of going with an untra cheap Intel branded board (DH61WW currently I think), which will support the basic features needed for a low cost computer and be reliable without needing to put too much research into it
Maybe they targeted the wrong market?

AMD: What Went Wrong?
·
· Score: 4, Interesting
AMD's budget range is still better than Intel, when compared at a constant price against Atom But with the netbook/nettop market starting to flatline (or so I've heard), maybe they just made a wrong stratey decision Also, the botched Bulldozer launch: they should have used the no. of complete modules in the processor name, instead of the number of Integer units That way they wouldnt have a 6 core which was actually 3 core, but rather a 3 core which performed better in Hyperthreading than an equivalent Intel Getting the driver issue sorted out before launch would have helped as well
Are printers coming with Magical GPS systems now? Cause last I checked, GPS doesnt work indoors, and a GPS system costs more than the price of an entry level printer And, without GPS, how do they plan to get your location? Also, where does the printer get an accurate time reading from, and how do you link a serial number to a person unless they take the printer in for servicing, or purchased it using their own credit card
I did lodge a complaint at a pizza hut once and the regional manager (or some position like that, he managed the branches in the city) called me up after about a week/10 days
One can take a look at videocards, right now for most PC gamers they haven't needed to upgrade their video hardware for quite some time relatively speaking compared to the past. The idea that needs will scale linearly forever is nonsense.
Wait for monitors with resolutions greater than 1920*1200 to become mainstream
I would not use flight as an analogy. It went from theoretical, prototype, production, improvement, mass use, all the way to mass fuck up and unbelievable difficulty to use.
There is no analogy for the TSA in computers.... Not even Microsoft or Apple's walled garden.
WHAT??? You do know TSA is a country specific issue?
I dont think thats even the correct canned response The correct one would contain something saying "Our message is clear: your privacy online will be protected"
Not providing a guarantee to (or refusing to service the cars) of car users who refuse to apply rust protection in a coastal region? (My 1st car analogy)
I understood it as if the doctors were refusing to provide consultations to them In case of insurance, cant vaccinations be a requirement, just like there are certain servicing requirements for car insurance,etc
i) Use some of the power from the power plant to pre cool the water ii) Completely turn the worlds power supply to nuclear. Should reduce global warming, and stop this issue
Slashdot Mirror
That would mean that Oracle has to pay 96% of the whole costs for the lawsuit
Including Googles legal fee?
In that case isnt it worse for Oracle to quote crazy high numbers?
the damages in play now are down to a little less than 4 percent of Oracle's original $6.1 billion claims."
At this point, they should just declare that Oracle abused the process and grant Google victory over the remaining patents as compensation/penalty
4000 pixels = less than 70*70 resolution
What you're looking for is 4000 horizontal pixels : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4K_resolution
I hope they get the 2560*1600 displays in laptops
A T420/T520 class laptop with that display would be pretty awesome
U3011: well, I had mentioned affordable.
That thing costs more than many gaming PC's (though a PC for gaming on that would be more expensive)

I wonder why the TSA has a /. account
I mean, which country does not do such stuff (or, does not have it planned for the immediate future)?

So, the NIMBY guys get to pay exorbitant power charges by buying excess power from neighbours, or get no electricity?
Could be a good idea

You need to submit a lot of verification documents to get a phone connection in India

Theres also the fact that in case of a person, you dont have the equivalent of a wipe and reformat

Its not different than a tech support company refusing data protection to customers not using anti virus
