So they create a console that is a computer and a year or two in, it's too slow because they didn't travel into the future and grab a GPU fast enough to keep up with PCs. What else is new? Welcome to desktops vs consoles. The next 5 years are going to be a joke for consoles.
Fantastic. They're still twice as likely to break as a desktop and on average cost double to fix. The battery still fails in 1-2 years and costs over $100 to replace with a genuine original. The screen is torture to anyone below 20/20 vision. I may be biased since I fix computers all day every day professionally but I hate laptops. Desktops are real computers.
I do typically have better things to do but I am submitting myself for the prize, lol. By the way, the new thing is to call from wherever and then use a VOIP relay from the state you're calling so it looks like a local area code. They should go after these relay companies and shut them down or pressure them to cut off customers that make millions of calls constantly on that one relay. That or at least look into what the business does before selling services to them.
Way ahead of you there. My spam call trap is called me. When I answer, suddenly I go from Wisconsin suburban turbo-white computer repair to solomente hablamos en espanol. Then when they apologize and transfer me to their spanish department, suddenly, I only speak english.
Blue eyes are universally more attractive to all humans at a subconscious level. That has been scientifically proven. It has to do with sensing pupil dilation easier with the high contrast of black and blue (or green or hazel or any other light color) to sense mutual attraction as nonverbal communication. If a person's irises are black, the signal to the other person's brain is that they're disinterested in them romantically.
It's a shame this hasn't so far made it rain in the California area. At least freak weather patterns can help sometimes by simply causing different weather. Hopefully that changes in the near future. Then again, California's economy and politics are so fucked up, the weather might as well crap out too.
I calculated this at 8 MH/s out of my memory and missed a comma but if it's 14MH/s that's only $3,534.62 per day. It's something like a 100:1 loss on electricity at $0.11/KWH by the way. Hurray for efficiency. I doubt they're installed on 150 million i5 systems and running at full blast on all cores for 24 hours a day though. This is still utterly pointless.
What they don't tell you is it doesn't work in the rain, fog, or basically anything else. Luckily most people we'd fire it at are in a nice, thin-aired desert.
A very rough estimate reveals that one $400 ASIC mining device for bitcoins that can make about $500 a year profit is equivalent to 150,000,000 i5-2400's running the hashing algorithm. So in other words, realistically, all the computers running uTorrent in the entire world combined would probably make the company about $5 or so, maybe $10 per year. Litecoins running Scrypt don't turn out to be much more profitable either. I actually don't think this news story is true.
Another horrible idea that nobody wants, just like touchscreens. Do MS employees even use computers in their daily life? There isn't a game on my entire computer that I want to control with a joystick or touchscreen. How am I supposed to play Fallout 3 on a surface?
How clueless is the author? Releasing updates that don't work on a monthly basis, dropping thunderbird support, and cancelling the contract with Google to make Yahoo the default search engine are killing the company. All they make that's noteworthy is Firefox and they're completely screwing it up and turning it into an ad-infested spam pile.
Newegg absolutely does take BTC directly from a customer's point of view. Name three investors? The Winklevoss twins and the owner of BIT. Oh and that doesn't make bitcoins money? I made a lot of money on them. Does that make them money? Everyone who knows what they're talking about will tell you BTC will never, ever collapse. That gives is inherent value. It is superior to most other currencies in a majority of ways.
My company has a really successful policy to avoid these types of problems. Don't work with foreign companies. Don't sell to them. Don't talk to them. Don't visit them. Don't take visitors from foreign countries. Don't use foreign suppliers to buy anything. Don't use foreign financial companies. It cut out foreign fraud numbers down to zero, which has been a big help since back to back 3 Germans in a row tried to rip us off (and 1 Alegerian and 1 Israeli and 2 British customers).
It's bigger than some countries' entire currency, Amazon and Newegg both take it as a form of payment, it's approved as a security backing now by the SEC and FINRA, and all serious investors take it seriously. So come back out of 2010 and join us in 2015 please and stop calling it a pretend currency.
It's so anyone of any age or location could send money without billionaires and the world bank fucking with it. There are more illegal transactions with paper cash than bitcoins so take your stupid stereotypes and inaccurate info somewhere else.
Dear Nvidia
I don't want a console. I have an ultra-fast system that plays games, has wide compatibility, can hook up to a TV wirelessles or via HDMI, can surf the web, run netflix, watch live TV, etc. It's called my PC and it's faster. I also have no interest in using joysticks to control anything ever.
Sincerely,
everyone
This is like a week after they agreed to significantly help Occulus after Facebook, their #1 gaming platform competitor, bought them. I don't think they understand the concept of crush your competitors' products that compete with yours. I didn't see MS making the Zune work with itunes.
That's old school. You have to fly a drone over the filming location. Then you can upload and all aerial bootleg version to a torrent site before they're even done filming it.

That reminds me. Weather.gov still refuses to admit that it snowed out yesterday. It freaking did! I saw it! I WAS THERE! IT SNOOOOOWED!

1-5% you say? So in my graduating class, there were 33 kids with a lazy eye? Actually there were zero.

The Drow race are legitimately douchebags though. I think we can all agree on that.

They need to divide it into the department of nobody and nothing and the department of gtfo of youtube. That's the proper corporate organization.
Unfortunately, they install the AVG toolbar on your forehead when you put them on.
