Have you checked his Linkedin profile. He seems to lack experience. One year at Dominion Semiconductor and 3 years at Hitachi. He may have had trouble meeting expectations and didn't make the grade at the end of his 1 year probationary period. He is much younger than I am. There is no mention of his employment at TI in his public profile. The article is misleading and implies he worked at TI. Looks like TI passed him by, possibly by a no poaching agreemen or performance review resulting in his loss of the job.

MS is guilty of this dumb move early on. Back when optical mice where the new item, I bought a MS optical mouse for a system I was building on my coffee table. In the software installation, the optical mouse driver hung up the install looking for an Internet connection to register the software. I was like WTF and returned the mouse as defective and unable to function on a stand alone system.
Not everyone who plays stand alone games are connected with an always on connection. Many locations are still on dial up. Multiple machines mean many are not connected while waiting for the phone line. Tying up the phone line for hours is not an option either.
Seriously, there is a second bill like it by the other party. They wrote their own version. What are the chances of two near identical bills at the same time without some outside money to make it happen"
Someone on both sides of the isle took the industry money. One side backed down when it attracted the public's attention.
I wonder how much the search requests for those items spiked due to the Streisand Effect. I've seen lots of info on explosives without searching including Mythbusters making black powder and Dirty Jobs issue on Fireworks Technician. I don't know much about the poison. If I searched it, that would only be due to the Streisand Effect. I would not want to have an accident in an attempt to make that stuff.
I have a Netflix account. On that account I can access episodes of "Dirty Jobs" One of the jobs is Fireworks technician.
In it they show weights of ingredients used to make black powder and flash powder, both considered explosives. Both are regulated by BATF in the US. I watched the show. Does that make me a potential terrorist, or just a fan of large fireworks?
I don't think this is a big deal. Just like you can get SIP adaptors provisioned and locked to a walled garden such as Vonage VOIP boxes, the Android market will still use ARM processors. There are alternatives just as you can buy a PAP2T-NA that is not provisioned where you can use it with any SIP provider that permits BYOD (bring your own device). The Asterisk and other SIP markets is too big to permit a Vonage or Comcast only VIOP phone adapter. Android is way too big to give Microsoft the traction it desires. There will be MS phones and the rest of the market.
If we are lucky, the MS will be broken like many Vonage adapters providing inexpensive hardware.
Even some "Pro" air conditioner repairman are little more than scrip checklist guys who don't really understand the concepts.
I am Not an AC guy, but am self taught when I worked in cryptology, we maintained our stuff as much as possible to limit shutting down operations so outsiders can service the systems.
One boss I had was having trouble with a brand new heat pump install on a house boat. It has a freon/water heat exchanger. Power consumption was high and the winter heat output was low. The factory rep was having a huge problem with the system and thought it had a bad reversing valve.
I asked to look at it. The "Pro" tried charging the system using gauge pressure forgetting the fact the water heat exchanger was much more effective, so when he had the pressure up to what he expected for an air exchanger, the system was massively overcharged. This flooded the high side coil so very little of it was used for heat transfer.
I asked permission to adjust the charge before they wrote off the reversing valve and it fixed most of the issue. I told them due to the water heat exchanger resulting in lower pressure, a larger expansion valve orifice could be used to bring system capacity back to normal. An expansion valve about 25% larger (3 ton system now has a 4 ton expansion valve) was installed. This allowed the same volume of freon to be delivered with the lower pressure. The efficiency increased and cut the power consumption with a low run duty cycle.
Sometimes a tech that understands the theory can do a better job than the "Pro" engineer that doesn't have a solid grasp of the theory.
Coding is the same. Some people have a grasp of the code language but don't have a good grasp anticipating bugs in the code leaving it open for exploits and glitches.
A good coder can see potential pitfalls and can program around them reducing faults.
The one in a Prius does very well. The old style belt and variable pulleys are not what I consider long life. The planetary gear set in a Prius with the pair of motor generators to implement a CVT has reduced the weight and complexity of a transmission to the point where all friction components (clutches, bands brakes) are eliminated along with all hydraulics. All mechanical shifting is gone. It has no clutches or gears that engage or disengage. This is true from freeway speeds forward to reverse. The only mechanical part that is shifted is the park cog.
I have over 160K miles on mine. At 100K I changed plugs. Other than that, it has needed only normal oil changes and such. With regenerative braking, it is still on it's original brakes. For a zero breakdown car with no mechanical issues, I have no complaints. The milage is less then the EPA estimate, but it is way ahead of any other car I owned. My lifetime average MPG is 45.3.
I have no reason to sue the manufacture for this. All cars by all manufactures did not do as well as the EPA estimates in 2002. Hybrids are no exception.
Never changing any belts, alternators, water pumps, brakes bulbs, etc in a decade of commuting is a great trade off. I have had to change the small 12 volt battery a couple of times, ~5 year intervals, and tires about every 60K is not a problem.
The gas savings over my old car with 160K of driving is considerable. The cost savings in maintenance is a bonus. Not meeting EPA guidelines on MPG, not a surprise for city traffic. Stoplights and traffic kills millage. I'm impressed it does as well as it does.
SONY is only one player. I just got off the phone leaving voice mail for some others on the list. Call them. Write them. Let your voice be heard. Give examples. First I told them I understood that piracy of film and music is a problem. I then told them I could shut down Slashdot, Picasa, Photobucket, Makezine, and many anti scam websites, etc for posting photos and text that users shared but did not make. Sites I use to promote my work would be shut down if this passes. Make it clear that the piracy is a problem, but the proposed solution would shut down sites individuals use. We do not need the Internet to become just another TV or radio station for big media. The Internet would be of no use if that happens.
Slashdot could be shut down for most everything placed in quotes. This is WRONG.
Recycled scrips are OK if there is enough colorful environment and players to make the script interesting.
Take for example the original Star Wars. It is a western. It did very well at the box office.
Western you say?
Yes. Lady loses the ranch to some bad guys in black. There is dynamite explosions, a gunfight, a knife fight, a bar fight with shady characters who can provide some needed support, and the hero in white. It is a formula western in a different big valley and more modern horses, knives, and pistols.
If this passes, I could shut down Makezine. They lifted some of my photos and included them in one of their on-line issues. How many times have you blogged about something and lifted a photo? This is a copyright violation just the same as if you shared a recent film.
No complaints on Makezine though. I would have given permission if they asked. They didn't ask, so they don't have permission. I'm picking on them for example only.
This is how dangerous this law is. I could shut down Makezine for copyright violations if this passes as I am the copyright owner of some images posted there. http://makezine.com/
If this passes, they need to be very careful about what they post that is submitted by users.
This is not useful in hot weather. it may be illegal.
To fight the gas theft on the other hand, I keep two gas cans in the shed. I've had the shed broken into and stuff stolen. One nearly empty can has gas. It is a 5 gallon can with no more than 2 gallons in it. The other full can has sugar, water, and gas, lite on the gas. Just enough to provide the proper smell.
Knowing the failure rate of product lines this would have shown up as one supplier with a higher than normal failure rate. The trend continued which is most likely how the high failure rate was investigated. With the theft, the failure rate would start to show up as an outlier on any chart as an unusualy high loss. In a product with high failure rates, this would have been more difficult to detect. For example a few missing light bulbs is hard to detect as they are a high failure rate consumable item. A large amount of high reliability network devices would show up much faster as an unusual event.
In gambling you don't get to wait for a better day before cashing in. In investing, you can "Buy low and Sell high" Very few stocks never return to and pass the purchase price unless you bought at a peak (buy high is bad) unless the stock goes bust. On average the market does well with it's ups and downs to enable buy low sell high. Lotto and casino games do not provide that option.
The complaint appears to be based on the lower cost model of efficiency. The printing press operators, typesetters, telephone operators, and other high cost labor is being replaced by lower cost computer automation that is less prone to errors, never goes on strike, etc.
We reap the benefits of lower cost products, but moan the loss of jobs at the same time. Really, do you want to go back to the model of hand planted wheat and hand harvested and threshed wheat? If your daily loaf of bread cost leass than 1/3 of your income, you are benefiting from the economics of mechanized farming.
Paying a labor pool of nice looking models is a high expense of a limited resource and will no longer be sustainable as the number of clothing articles to be modeled rises with the new efficiency.
Automated phone systems enabled inexpensive phone calling. Do you really think your phone service would be anything like it is today if we all had to depend on the volume of Lilly Tomlin type switchboard operators to complete all calls. Phone plans including nationwide calling would not exist. Anything outside of a local calling area would be charged as long distance like it used to be.
The complaints are to preserve an outdated labor market against advances in automation.
Looking forward, the advertising market may enable consumers to 3D image their face and body to enable viewing a virtual model of themselves modeling the products. Does this swimsuit make my butt look big?
Not much to see there. Office buildings and not much of interest. If in Seattle on the other hand, have dinner in the Space Needle and visit the Museum of Science and Industry. This was the centerpoint of a World's Fair.
When driving where there are pedestrians, I turn on the defroster. It cranks up the defroster fan and turns on the radiator fan. Often this results in starting the engine too. This works on an 2002 Prius. This one has the belt driven compressor before they moved to the electric compressor. I'm not sure about the newer ones.
All wire has resistance and inductance. A high current nearby lightning strike will induce voltage and current in nearby conductors. This is why you never stand near a metal fence in an electrical storm. The fence may be grounded at both ends, but in relation to the nearby ground the fence can be lethal. One of the biggest strikes I had to clean up was a radio station transmitter. The antenna was properly grounded. The local utilities were properly grounded. A nearby lightning strike blew out diodes in the power suppy and there was obvious arc marks between the utility ground and the utility neutral. On the other end of the wire at the AC panel, the neutral is bonded to ground and connected to the building ground. The final in the transmitter was fine. The power suppy took the hit with the high voltage differential between ground and ground due to the high current. On the wall, there was arc marks between the coax to the antenna and the upper ground ring in the room. There were several points of arcing between ground and ground. Two panels on the wall showed explosive discharge between the frame of the panel and the conduit between them, even with the ground wire in the conduit in the panels tying them together. Transformer action into the conduit created high current in the conduit. Conduit joints and box to conduit joints showed arc marks. A semiconductor anything in that area would have taken the hit. Just tying it to ground doesn't work for high energy pulse discharges.
I am more interested if it broad enough to be shot down as prior art by Loran, Trimble, Magellan, Tom Tom, Navman, Lawrence, Rhino, Onstar, etc. They may have difficulties if the other established navigation players try to invalidate the claim. Apple is facing lots of prior art that existed long before they placed GPS in a phone. Time of arrival location services have preceded Apple cell tower location mapping back to World War One.
Not downloading.. Streaming and low latency gaming. Not all who have high bandwidth are saving the bits to the hard drive. My employer provides a 100 meg connection to my desk. The office is getting an upgrade to a 20Gig/Sec connection. Video conferencing, media, VOIP phone system and other uses are the reasons.
IP theft is grounds for dismissal. It is not a haven for piracy.
At home between Netflix, Games, VOIP, both SIP, Skype, and SIP for business and pleasure can result in the Buffering, Buffering.. So if the upgrade is not outlandish in cost, why not?
For a couple who use it for the email and check their online banking, why drastically increase the cost for no visible gain?

SOI limits the depth of the conductive channel by placing a film on an insulator. If the insulator is low K Dielectric, the capacitance is reduced helping the speed. The 3D transistor on the other hand has a vertical fin of semiconductor created by etching away the surrounding material. This places the flat film of semiconductor on edge, then a wrap around gate applies the e-field on both sides and the top essentially surrounding the doped semiconductor path on 3 of 4 sides. This places all of the channel in close proximity to the gate voltage so a smaller voltage can pinch off the channel. SOI is still a gate on only one side (the top) of the semiconductor channel.
If you don't understand the tech, a photo is worth many words. A photo can be seen here. http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2384909,00.asp#fbid=2uqV-rrPnOE Most people do not understand the photo. The center lattice structure contains 12 transistors. It has 6 parallel N channel devices in series with 6 parallel P channel devices. The semiconductor is the shorter fins under the higher fins. There are 6 of these fins with 2 transistors each configured in complimentary pairs as a basic inverter. The 5 bars on top are the Source on the ends and the Drain in the center and the two Gates in-between. The gate wraps the channel under it between the source and drain of each transistor. This is considerably different than SOI technology.

Have you tried playing it on GeexBox? I use that for any DVD with a malfunction in the menu.
I put the movie in and it plays.. What a concept. If I want a menu and extras, I can bring up the menu.
Needless to say, it isn't blessed by the DVD consortium.
