Oh god, conversing with you makes me feel like I got something on me. Ios kernel is a BSD deriviative. To this day it is still maintained principally by FreeBSD hackers, most of whom do not work for Apple, but happily take Apple's money. Take your attitude and stuff it high up your colon.
Q1 iPhone shipmments are off 1 million, YoY. If you are an Apple shareholder that ought to worry you. But then, you are an Apple cultist, so nothing worries you, including maxing out your credit to own it.
It's much more simple than that. It's because the number of smartphones in circulation is approximately the same as the number of humans alive. The slowdown will continue until we teach dogs and cats how to phone.
iPhone is hanging on to its sliver of the market for now. Far be it from me why anyone would want one. They are overpriced and stupidly dumbed down to the point where I would rather eat bugs than own one. Never mind that, because BSD is developed by a tiny group of coders without broad community feedback, it just does not have the features, stability, or performance of Linux. The only person who would want that is a clueless one.
Based on the assumption that Android phones last about four years, which may be an underestimate (my own phone for example) then over five billion Android phones are in use right now. This is the real story, this is phenomenal. And all running Linux, this is even more phenomenal. We did something historical, maybe the biggest technology story ever. Certainly a key event in history.
The bad guy in this is Wim Coekaerts, supposedly a veteran of the Linux community, but obviously a poser without a clue. Should be no surprise, to be honest. Matthew Wilcox should also have known better.
I'm afraid we can't really compare the claims about power and speed, because ARM is referring to a 7 nanometer process that doesn't really exist in mass production, and comparing it to an Intel process that is getting rather long in the tooth.
TSMC, Glofo and Samsung 7nm is roughly comparable to, maybe a bit better than, Intel's stalled 10nm node. AMD has 7nm samples in the lab. That means that TSMC has caught up with Intel, maybe just a few months lag now, or maybe it is in reality a tie race in terms of commercially viable production.
You jerk. You know that ARM costs a lot less than Intel because of the Arm Holdings licensing policy, and it typically operates at the low end of its thermal profile because of the market it is aimed at. Don't be disingenuous.
Of all the issues with ARM, the biggest one for Intel is its low cost. Intel relies on a huge margin to continue to support itself in the manner to which it has become accustomed. Arm holdings is a leaner operation. When ARM gets anywhere close to Core arch at its lower price point, Intel shudders.
The Dow is always going to have ups and downs, and the 9% pales to the other gains it's seen since November 2016
The Dow was still coasting on the golden years of Obama's second term, as I said. BTW, off 125 points this week, pure Trump effect (trade war). There is no way anyone except you calls a 9% loss in 5 months "pale".
My takeaway from this announcement is: ARM already beats Atom in every way and consequently is now taking aim at Core arch, which also beats Atom, so there you go. If the ARM chip costs less and runs cooler, I'm most probably in for my next laptop. Likely to hit the streets in Chromebook form and be a hit with school kids. With a decent amount of flash and confirmed Debian friendliness, I'll take a flyer.
WTF are you talking about? Getting to 90% of Intel single-core throughput is freaking awesome for a chip that costs a lot less and mainly operates at the low end of its thermal profile.
you are a retard if you think its cuz of guns..how about getting access to healthcare?
The idiots peddling guns to kids in America while wrapping themselves in the flag are the same ones trying to tear down Obamacare. I stand by my original comment. OK, then fatasses with guns.
You are out of touch with reality. The Dow shot up from 19,827.3 to 25,075.1 -- an increase of *26 percent* the day of (or day after) Trump's inauguration.
It is you who is out of touch with reality. When reality set in after one year of the the Trump presidency, the Dow promptly fell by 9%. The 2017 runnup was the holdover from the golden years of Obama's 2nd term (which did not include any global financial crisis caused by Republicans dismantling regulations). Then the reality of the Trump presidency set in, did I mention that?
Facebook is going down but Instagram is going up, which Facebook bought because, you know, antitrust isn't a thing. One can only hope that Facebook does not buy Reddit. The reverse midas touch: whatever Zuck touches turns to shit.
Reddit for one is the greatest gathering of crackpots, conspiracy theorists and perverts in the know universe
True, but oddly enough you can find some pretty good tech commentary there from time to time if you are patient and filter well. But even with the influx of newbs, Slashdot tends to be better. Likewise requires filtering. And ycombinator is pretty much at the top of the clue heap, maybe because the usual pests find it dull.

iPhones do run BSD, idiot.
"Hanging onto its sliver of the market" is an odd way of describing the best selling, most profitable smartphone
It's a way of describing the market sliver that Apple is hanging onto, nothing more or less.
Q1 iPhone shipmments are off 1 million, YoY. If you are an Apple shareholder that ought to worry you. But then, you are an Apple cultist, so nothing worries you, including maxing out your credit to own it.

It's a dup in the same way that having breakfast every day is a dup. We can't get enough of this particular news.
They can't afford a proper iPhone
"Proper iPhone" is a not a thing.
I vote for ditching the display and the concept of holding the phone.
Right after that, ditch the concept of using the phone.

No matter how much they copy, they are still facebook. Right thinking people have better things to do with their internet time.

I feel more stupid after reading your post.

When you finally drop off the internet completely, you die.
What is off topic about that?
