Yeah, erase all those years of RD, manufacturing know-how, engineering skills and general success in the PC scene. This is testament of utter executive disconnection, incompetence if not plain betrayal of the company, employees, HP's shareholders and loyal customers. Probably realising he can't compete with Steve Jobs, he cowardly axes the entire division so he doesn't need to personally deal with Apple's dominance and leadership.
Apple really did 'save', but their own ass. We all remember iOS (iPhone OS at the time) with the web apps only, these were limited and terrible. Then the moment came when Jobs&Co. decided to release the real native SDK for iOS.. and from that point forward the iOS went batman.
Managed code has been the single biggest disaster at least where I work, stalls, huge memory consumption, unpredictable.. the dreaded 'garbage collection', I am glad we are out of it.. and if you fear crashes then you could use C++ exceptions, then you can divide by zero or do other bad stuff and never experience a hard crash... or even better, use the complete threaded sandbox (see Chromium sandbox). that means C++ is totally safe and the fastest at the same time - best of both worlds; that is why C++ is used internally by Google, Ebay, Oracle.. etc.
he jumped for a golden rope without looking down to see how far he'd fall if he missed
yeah, so he falls... and faces that shitty middle-class life; what a downer. meanwhile he could gave a little fight for that 10 billion dollars that might actually be his.
Nothing, Niue heros moved no coins, so they melted the bullion and struck new ones with Vader, Wookie and Leia. All of a sudden even Slashdot is interested.
So it seams Intel will make sure they retain top benchmark spots even when Bulldozer hits. Meanwhile AMD is stressing performance per watt and that might be their weak spot, they need similar E-extreme performance model badly, otherwise Intel will grab all performance premiums again and outchart them in the benchmarks.
Tax on fuel is maxed out in Netherlands we pay 1.5-1.8 Euro per liter -- about $7 per US gallon already, therefore and not surprisingly other means of taxing have to be invented along with other needs like the mentioned tracking of speeding violators etc.
U.S. leading with 440,900 tons (440,000 t),
followed by Australia with 333,690 tons (300,000 t)
India's estimates ranging from 319,667 to 716,490 tons (290,000-1650,000 t).
Yeah, but Bing is not a dominant search player (Google is) and the fact that MS had to pay Verizon/RIM to default to Bing is only a testament to the TFA subject.
I wonder whether there will be any vigorous progress without those cash infusions from uncle Google. Also taking the Chrome push into account I would not be surprised that the search box contract is not renewed, lets face it, why would Google want to pay and support a direct competitor?

Isn't this conclusion sickening? A few leeches that live on cancer donations in "American Cancer Society" will stop this because it can dry up their beggarly money stream ?! This is madness. Hopefully somewhere in India or China somebody can copycat this project... facepalm..
By saying "PC" I think they meant the desktop PC with the separate monitor and the keyboard/case and not some wearable "Personal Computer" of the future.
Wii is not even HD capable console, few people are bothered with that. Their games are non-realistic in low resolution. The lack of realism hasn't affected them much.
I've written "probable" not "certain", given the Perseids cross the Earth's orbit (we observe the meteor shover) then the encounter might be likely given the unstable orbits of these comets. "Absolutely no threat" is a FUD, no comet has a perfect orbit, there is lots of interaction going on from outer planets for example.
Perseids are just a small reminder that the orbit of the comet (the source of the mess) crosses the orbit of Earth. It is probable that the comet itself will strike the Earth or Moon on August 14 2126. Of note is the fact that it is much larger the the presumed 10km object that led to dinosaur extinction.
I've read they coordinated themselves via smartphones/Twitter and actually blinded the expensive camera systems first, undoubtedly the expensive CCTV system will get targeted unless hidden.

Doomsdayers are having a field day with this, look at this line (from the article) that really made me laugh.
I've heard about three days of darkness because of Comet Elenin. Will Elenin block out the Sun for three days?

Dream on, its like those 'over unity' energy source claims.
Thanks for pointing out that "Liquid Thorium Fluoride Reactors" stuff, very interesting.

Ban would be easy, Thorium reaction waste is U-something... just look up the nasty element sitting next to Thorium in the periodic table yourself.
You need fossil fuel here (natural gas, petrol, diesel etc.) to run the fuel cell, so definitely not a good idea.
Abundant? USGS survey estimated (from TFA):
U.S. leading with 440,900 tons (440,000 t),

That might be the reason why their are introducing the new WiiU, I find it very odd to have the console without HDMI output these days.

So basically you are saying that Facebook stands or falls with the quality of the games they offer?

Exactly they should innovate and not be a copycat.
