Little technical understanding by marketing folks, they just parrot company policy/thinkspeak - that is how you get statements like "Cannot Run xxx". Then again, with Intel scrapping for marketshare why would they broadcast non-support of potential customers ? Some kind of partnership with a certain software company ? Who knows.
Not even quite sure MATLAB "does what it does well". Its usually a great way to get started, especially if you don't quite know what you are doing. But then I often find myself wondering why I am working around bugs and re-writing functions in a $10k software package. Moved almost everything to python/numpy/scipy/Matplotlib over a year ago and really haven't looked back.
Here's one thing that Matplotlib should not have replicated from MATLAB: insane memory usage. Please folks, lets get it under control: 1G of memory to display a med-large image is a joke !
Dunno, the shooting range up the street has a CCW class which includes time in a simulator... heard it is realistic enough to get your adrenaline flowing!
Advanced "universal" memory technologies (fast, non-volitile) such as MRAM, FRAM, maybe RRAM will alter this landscape significantly. While some are available now, we'll have to wait a few more technology generations before they have the density to realistically compete with hard drives or even Flash.
Once again, another American company selling off to foreign investors. Another powerhouse US industry falling to the wayside. Sucks that I foolishly spent many years studying to work in said industry.
At least both presidential candidates are planning to retrain me to sell cars or something.
There is no mention that the batteries are even functional. Just stated that they made "parts of batteries" : stacked some layers, patterened them, used a virus to help deposit another layer, stacked more layers and issued a press release! Phase 3, profit (from renewed grant).
Hard for the casual observer to see how this improves on the usual film deposition methods, other than not requiring vacuum chambers, pumps, etc.
And while we're at it, mega-efficient isn't very meaningful when describing batteries - high energy density would be a lot more appropriate if it were true.
But hey, its alt-energy, from MIT and this is Slashdot - rock on !

Not a happy shareholder lately.
Decided their fate in a millisecond ...
Looking at some (not all) of these claims, I guess I just have to say "ahem, cough, PALM, cough, cough, cough, PALM, ahem".
Living in Arizona, I was led to believe that LDS could cure alcoholism.
How dyslexic of me !
Send them to me, I'll figure something out.
Agree - this will have to happen for 2 reasons: revenue starved government + unfair advantage to net vs local retailers.
FWIW net commerce has many other inherent advantages anyway.
Too late, over it, burning out ...
Trying to not look like I'm abandoning everyone but I've grown weary.
I think it was called "Tron: Legacy", or something like that.

Fine, this will just push us into that Turbidium mining project on Mars a few years sooner.

"Dignity and Respect" , the darker, more Apple version of "Embrace and Extend"
Damn I was going to post the exact same title !
WTF are they doing chasing an increasingly irrelevant, high maintenance, low-margin business?
I would've expected Google to be smarter than this. Maybe it is a joke.
Hey, my machine completely locked up - 'net connection must be slow again...

Hulu, nice knowin' ya...
After a few years, everything in tech goes this way. Until somebody invents the "next big thing".
Must ... resist ... snide ... Apple ... userbase ... comment ... argh ... ugh...

Wow, I don't know how we made ANYTHING until last year !

They are following the cues of our government:
Say you are not evil, while you do very evil things.
This behavior will not change until we forcefully insist.
meh ... MRAM runs faster than 25 million ops/second !

Yeah, OK , I work there - std disclaimers apply.
