The magic bullet for eye tracking is using it for adaptive HDR. Monitors for good reason can't show bright lights. This makes it difficult to fit all the luminance information on the screen at once.
By tracking the eye we can adjust luminance information locally. This can have a huge impact on image quality.
Apart from F-Droid none of the stores are actually curated. They all want tons of free apps so they won't ever discriminate against user tracking/adds.
That's fine if you only use open source. For the rest of us it's a huge pain in the ass.
Basically instead of streaming the game they're talking about offloading the peak cases.
The boxes example would of been fine as a precomputed animation. I'm guessing if the player interrupts the process real-time it becomes screwed up due to latency.
No matter what the use cases are going to be somewhat limited. Calling it a game changer at this point is just silly.
I've seen a lot of comments naming specific scenarios where a gamepad is better. That's completely pointless. If a gamepad is better in that scenario then you'll just use a gamepad.
The entire purpose of this thing is mouse/kb games.
1) Improved Wine support. 2) Better cross platform libraries/tools. 3) Linux distro optimized for gaming.
The interesting thing to consider is that Valve doesn't need to turn a profit right away. It's a private company and Gabe is looking at the long game here. He sees his reliance on Windows as a weakness and he intends to change that.
People did want a pocket computer with real web/email. The carriers kept blocking that. Apple came along and bribed ATT. MS should of done the same years before.
Then after the iPhone took off Google gleefully went to the other carriers and put their balls in a vice. MS missed both those chances.
That's incorrect. On Android every app is a separate user. Only files stored in the "SD Card" area are visible to other apps. So in theory you need a root exploit to get at this data.

If you read the article they're not really examining best sellers at all. A site like Gutenberg has no correlation with modern best sellers.
Film, TV and Internet have all had drastic effects on the market as well. Thus old books aren't really representative.
The GPL doesn't have anything to do with it. RMS won't even allow simple command line features that could be "used" by a proprietary IDE for instance.
It's an understandable stance but the result is inferior software.
It's only ambiguous to a scientist "twice as cold" is "double the negative distance from 72".

They're just trying to shuffle things. In the process it will most likely become worse.
No clear benefits at all? There's always going to be some pros and cons on this. Such a blatant over generalization is worthless.
It has nothing to do with TPM or Secure Boot. This OS is specifically for new hardware. They have no reason to support legacy stuff.
It's not a "little fiefdom" when they alone can force every graphics vendor to finally release drivers for Linux.
The end result is going to be the exact opposite of your whining.
Nobody claimed he wasn't republican.
Do you have a source on this? Steam sells apps so this sounds unlikely.
For the average user that does not use noscript, this isn't a big difference. They're already essentially trusting every site they visit.

This is a case where you're supposed to jump the line.
Article says nothing about PC as a platform is waning. It simply says PC sales are dropping.
It's still far better than a gamepad.

This could have a lot of ripple effects.

2) Better cross platform libraries/tools.

It's not about having room. It's about putting distance between people.
Exploration of space provides useful science. Getting humans off the planet is far more important than just that.
It's not too late because an expansion is coming. Most likely that will include ladders with a fresh economy.
The only way to use the tablet interface is to write for WinRT. That includes x86 devices.
