    Sure. You can use it in OpenBSD, in FreeBSD, in NetBSD or in OSX.

    Spoken like a true non-developer. More resolution = more elements can be placed on screen. Unless screen is physically small.

    Apparently anecdotal evidence is now data. Everyone I see has an iPhone. Does my anecdotal evidence trump yours?

  7. A free app. That people who use a certain platform likes. And is being crushed illegally because that platform owner hates it. And somehow this is an ad?

    URDOINITWRONG!

    Not every discussion about an app is an advertisement. This is a legitimate issue. I use it, and like it. And if FB is trying to screw me over, because of a browser extension, we have an issue.

    What next, only approved browsers can be used?

    And do we need to make sure only Operating Systems that are blessed can be used?

    You have been living under a rock for the past few months? Are you unaware of the fact that NSA is reportedly reading other govt's email, and I'm not talking about yahoo/google email?

    Right, and this brain of yours, have you ever wondered why no other postal companies in the world is doing it?

    You may want to re-read it again. She wants to create a secure email system *FOR THE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES* not for home users.

    They have to use it, by law, once it is set up.

    yeah but P3 and P4 are different architectures.

    Exynos eats batteries like nobody's business as I understand it.

    What's really baffling is how did a dual core A7 running at 1.3Ghz beat an 8 core Exynos chip running at 1.6Ghz by such huge margins.

  16. Re:no love for Ars on No Love From Ars For Samsung's New Smart Watch · · Score: 1

    Could it be that other reviewers couldn't even get it to last that long? Other reviews say 5 hours. Another one claimed that during the launch, the camera app wouldn't even start at the end of the launch presentation because the battery was dead.

    Uh, what about the reviewer who couldn't get the camera app to start, at the end of the launch party, because the battery was down?

    20 hours seems a bit far fetched. Wonder what other reviews say.

  18. Re:Ars Apple bias on No Love From Ars For Samsung's New Smart Watch · · Score: 1

    Wait. If Samsung and other Android vendors cheated on benchmarks, and Ars found out and reported it, that is a bad thing?

    And if they pointed out that Motorola, Google and Apple didn't cheat, that is also somehow a bad thing?

    Talk about a fanboy.

  21. Re:I think this comes down to: on Nvidia Removed Linux Driver Feature For Feature Parity With Windows · · Score: 1

    Linus is famously against breaking usermode code.

    Internal kernel APIs are not for use by non-kernel developers. That you can use it is a side effect.

    NVIDIA is contributing to kernel code, but shoving a blob inside (you realize that their code is actually *WINDOWS* code with a shim right?)

    How is any of these Linus's fault?

    Nice how you neatly dismissed it. If hardware is such a small problem, why didn't previous generations of CE-based Microsoft tablets work? If hardware is such a small problem, why not laptops, after all, it even has a keyboard for precise data entry.

    Then Android. Are you talking about the hot and heavy, clunky Surface Pro, or the yet-to-be-released-or-tested Surface 2?

    I'm curious how anyone would go for a yet-to-be-released hardware, versus hardware that's been battle tested.
