WinRT only supports stuff from the appstore because WinRT is basically WinPhone for tablets. Just about every example is on a ARM architecture, so what apps exactly would run on it if it had a Classic desktop?
Oh and lets not forget, the most powerful 64bit quadcore ARM chip gets eaten alive by an Intel P4.
Also, the idea of 'dumping work onto clocked down cores' is called distributing work evenly. All CPUs should be designed with that in mind so that running two cores at phase 2 below zero does more work than running 1 core at phase 4 below zero, yet 2 at phase 2 yield the same power draw increase as 1 at 4. Intel did this fine because they know that multiprocessing computers of all types always spread work between cores evenly. If they didn't it would create a hotspot on the core and the cooling systems would also have to kick into high gear just to cool that one really hot core on the bottom left of the die (for example). Phenoms were only ever desktop processors too, maybe AMD should have pushed that into the mobile markets where they were moving turion units to really get Microsoft to listen.
The other thing is that you are only looking at CPU power mgmt. Try looking a little wider in scope.
Erm, are you really suggesting building a whole new operating system over just adding an autoswitching app? Nonetheless a little research shows that Windows already does that. Look at the first response when someone threw that statement out there elsewhere.
And 'Balanced' setting on desktops is the best compromise. A computer's processor and other hardware with power modes does not need to be running at their highest phase 24/7. Certain things (e.g browsing) use maybe 10% of a computers capabilities, and balanced ensures that systems like bluetooth and secondary hard drives turn off when needed and sooner than they would at high performance.
Unfortunately, due to the fact that you are speaking in English in 2013 on the internet, the possible chances of that are 0.
And yes, I can write a program that could work that out for everyone's statements so I'm sure as hell that the NSA could, especially with all the rest of the accounts you have attached to your email address and social networks to correlate with..
OSs already account for that. It's called power management and always was built into modern OSs because of laptops having the same type of power concerns.
Terrible strawman. You can't point at the only computer of it's kind (with a consumer class 15inch 2880x1800 res screen) in the world in order to imply that the GP has an old machine... also imply that the GGP is right because it's simply not true.
Even your vaunted Retina MBP, which I class as an embedded device running a PC OS, is around 100DPI lower than the iPhone 4, the original retina device that set the standard.
So why allow Napoleon to have your twitter feed so guys can tune up to your door when you speak ill of him? You should be trying to roll back changes, not allow them to progress with thier plans
Because he has no real authority to know (in a logically provable way) whether the source of his problem was AT&T or any link higher up the supply chain from Apple. It's improbable but still plausible that actually this is because someone (Like a TV channel) bought a limited (time) online monopoly over Breaking Bad with the rights to sell the Boxset and then acted as a reseller to the world's businesses. Because he has no inside knowledge of the business deals between corporations he cannot irrefutably make the link between AT&T's business dealings with Apple until after he's already started litigating (and if the judge requests the contracts).
The fact that there is a possibility is good enough for Apple to be a far better option. Even if he successfully gets his hands on the that contract to sue AT&T, the judge may rule that this Apple's place to sue AT&T for not selling them a product as advertised and not yours, you should sue Apple because they sold it to you.
No, Having to build more factories raises overhead. Opening existing factories that were mothballed does not increase overhead as a percentage of capacity because capacity instantly rises. And that's what really matters as far as lowering costs.
In other words, if those factories couldn't pay for themselves back when they were in use, they would have been destroyed, not shuttered... and due to the fact that HQ and C-sec costs don't rise then as a percentage the total overheads are lower per unit sold.
Doesn't matter which color phosphorus is, its still a burning dust that sticks to skin and boils that skin awaythe down to the fat below and further. In many ways it's more effective as a weapon against human targets than a grenade is.
No national rail service in the UK travels inside the congestion zone. You must take a national rail into London then a local tube train into congestion zones. Why would the statistics rise injust a wholenational country just because of one zone in London?
Ticket prices pay for planes after govt fuel subsidies, CO2 tax subsidies and ATC subsidies. And since when has money been the only factor in the choices of this country? Should we all just have stuck to steam trains and never had planes because they represented too much initial expense?
In the UK, an entire train can be operated by one man. Fuel costs will be orders of magnitude lower than air and will be cleaner, and stations only need more staff if the tech actually picks up. $7.5bn is certainly better than 80bn too
Because the media taught us a long time ago that we want to be 'normal'. That we want to be submissive, quiet, obedient proto-slaves. F*ck normal. If you don't want to be talked about, live in a cave, otherwise pull your balls up and state your case for walking out w/o notice.
You're only a jerk if you let their side of the story be told without voicing your.... unless you were just a jerk, which then you should be accepting of that statement instead of trying to hide it. All this dancing around facts to appease others is so weak, and the more we weasel around our problems the less happens to actually fix them.
1. It's extremely relevant. The same anyone that can make the hardware for a Android device will also be making the driver for each subset of hardware, or provide blueprints of the hardware for Google (or ASUS) to build drivers from. They will have made those drivers long before Google ever came to cherry-pick it's hardware in the first place and demanding that they FOSS their drivers is something I'm quite sure many device manufacturers would flat out say no to. In the Nexus' example ASUS definitely would not have made the hardware drivers for the Tegra, because there is simply too many trade secrets to be lost fronm Nvidia in giving them the blueprints and a JTAG'd dev device.
The same secrets that could be lost in giving them unblobbed drivers. Hell, Nvidia don't even give Linux unblobbed drivers and if they did it would be a nerfed version with all of their speed trickery removed so as not to give ground to AMD.
2. Google has done everything it safely can. EVERYTHING. The only thing it could do more is open source the Play market, and if it did you'd have cracked markets appearing in days. All of your directed complaints are actually the fault of others, and even then are done within good reason so I think your idealism is a little flawed.
No they don't. They are not Apple and are not Gatekeepers to the OS. Anyone can make Android hardware. As for their choices with the Nexus, I sincerely hope they cared more about performance, reliability and breadth of features. I would much rather a product I own have those instead of some paper stating a bunch of legal rights that I might not actually violate. (Because these days there's no recourse for doing something illegal or against this TOS as long as you aren't caught.)

Lmao, misread the per-core speed stepping paragraph. If that is the case, then my good sir I stand corrected.

He only bought from Apple. He has no right to sue others as he had no business with them.
