  1. tomtom spark? on Ask Slashdot: Smart Electronics For a Marathoner? · · Score: 1

    Haven't tried it yet, but seems promising. gps, heart rate and 4GB of storage, should last long enough for a marathon.

    Runner's watches are slightly different than the usual smartwatches, as they have built-in gps and better battery life than ordinary smart watches, which rely on your phone fro music and gps.
    I use a Polar m400 for gps while running, and it lasts about a week with daily 6mile running (gps tracking). Unfortunately no music on that one.

  2. who needs vr? on New VR Game Makes You a "Hollywood Hacker" · · Score: 1

    I prefer my hackin' Swordfish style...

  3. Re:Sorry Netbook wins still on iPad Will Beat Netbooks With "Magic" · · Score: 0, Troll

    netbooks are just as good as your spelling...

  4. Re:Moore's Law on 66% Apple Market Share For Sales of High-End PCs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    the apple one has an led backlight and a 512MB 8600m gt, it also weighs significantly less ....

    instead of the vostro, you should be looking at the m1530 for the 15 inch, for the 17 inch, not really a comparison. (xps?)

    It's a bit like comparing a (Hyundai/kia/lada) to (BMW,mercedes,lexus). They both have an engine and four wheels. but the plastics you touch when you sit inside them, are definitely different.

    But I guess you wouldn't know....

  5. Re:Price != High End on 66% Apple Market Share For Sales of High-End PCs · · Score: 1

    oled display != led lighting

    yes, oled's lose color fidelity. But Apple notebook's don't use oled's they use led backlight's, which is something completely different.

  7. wow on Blender v1.5 Manual · · Score: 1

    I've just got the manual today and I must say it's really a piece of art. Can't wait to try it out on my linux box at home! If you've got blender, buy it, it's worth it.
