    They need this ridiculous CPU horse power due to the use of Python, yep, the chief scientist is too lazy to switch from the interpreted code, too bad..

    Most of Chinese products have minimal profit margins and low added value, they might make it 'in the volume', but that is ridiculous tactics..

    The only products they offer are patents, not practicing, not using, not producing anything. Web page has a fishing rod in the picture. This must be the epitome of patent trolling.

    Apple.. high margin on hardware.
    MS.. high margin on OS.
    Google.. high margin on ads shown on subsidized hardware plus free OS.


    Google model is so disrupting here, MS and Apple do not know it yet, but they are history.

  6. Re:The most important step on Ask Slashdot: How To Avoid Working With Awful Legacy Code? · · Score: 1

    mostly any kind of "script", be it VB, PHP, Python or even Java that means close encounters of spaghetti code is very probable, I don't want to repeat "real men code in C" mantra, but often any kind of 'scripted' code base means problems ahead.

    A real artist would not sign a deal with an aggregator. You need a respectful label that is promoting, protecting and licensing your music. Megabox is supposed to be an answer to any of this?

    Something is wrong.. because meanwhile, in the real world, you have to keep up the the Joneses IE6's habits, still can't use even CSS2, tables all the way, minimal js, but better avoid JS altogether to let in no-script visitors.

    You mean the rotating space module twice the size of the entire ISS ? TFA is just a small reminder about the kind of state the whole 'space travel' thing is. Basically it is all just a big stunt and wishful thinking right now, despite of all the advancements we had over the years.

    What is the proposed name of this, ehm, highly innovative product?

  11. Re:The fortune tells on Giving Your Computer Interface the Finger · · Score: 1

    It will not work. The lowest energy input, most precise and fastest controller wins in the end - ultimately some mind control. That is why these Kinect alike devices are fad and not mainstay controllers, you need lots of energy to do even simple things with them and it is often not precise, not fast. The old simple press of a button or an analog stick is way more convenient, speedier and comfortable. In this dark age of manual computer control, that we live in, the precise mice and the fast and dependable keyboard is yet to be beaten.

    It's called radiation theraphy. The reactor pool is best for treating your rheuma, take a 5 minute dip, swim around a bit, just keep your 6 feet safe distance from the Cherenkov glow and the fuel rods, it is pretty refreshing!

  13. Buy AMD on Intel CPU Prices Stagnate As AMD Sales Decline · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but your CPU lore is outdated. AMD CPUs are compatible nowdays. Further, since AMD invented x86-64bit, Intel has even played catchup in many areas. The new and current AMD Trinity APU is a really good value, it beats Intel in bang per $ gaming performance (CPU+GPU) for example.

    Facebook currently harbors "products" that have left MySpace, Orkut, Friendster, Bebo, ICQ, AOL.. These products will soon migrate further to some new social verticals as the social web matures.

    NBN is like roads, a basic utility, a public infrastructure. It can be complimented with commercial providers and it will be, but there are rural areas where no ISP or cable company would go, therefore this make sense. Isn't it something Obama should be backing in the US?

  21. Re:Most important question on Sony Announces 'Superslim' PS3 · · Score: 2

    Dropped features? I've been pretty impressed with the development happening on the PS3 lately. One thing that is near magical about it is the capability of true stereoscopic 3D, unlike the competition that ruined 3D, if you buy Sony 7 or 8 series TV with the active 3D, combine that with PS3 games like Super Star Dust HD (seriously wow!) or MotorStorm Pacific Rift 3D to see what I mean. Also if you are a photographer, the new photo app is awesome, you can control the view with that analog sticks, I mean fluid zoom and pan into your photo albums using the wireless controller, you can view 3D photos also. And there is another interesting feature that I've found, only my PS3 can play and handle1080p / 60fps high-bitrate footage plus Dolby Digital without any problem, even my Sandy Bridge laptop can't really play that without frame drops full screen.

    Stupid, the average price/earnings ratio (P/E) of Nasdaq is about 21, Yahoo 17, Apple 16, Microsoft 15, see, Facebook is 105. You do not have to be an investor to see the company is hugely overvalued, the stock should be heading south.

  23. Re:No... on Will Developers Finally Start Coding On the iPad? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Please, we need programs not apps. Stuff doesn't get done in crippled wooden UI half baked apps. Developers need things like functioning file system, interoperating programs, real task switching, stable kernel, yes, kernel that doesn't crash your 6 hour hard work without even flashing an error. On Linux or Windows you at least get an error and 1st party programs do not hard crash there. Can't really wait for Windows 8 and some solid hardware company like Lenovo or Sony to give me a real system worth coding on - a real tablet experience.

    This is completely unrelated.. and this guys is obviously panicking, Sweden is very soft even to real criminals, they might be even softer then their neighbor Norway (where a man executed 77 children and only got max of 21 years in a comfy prison cell with a laptop and TV). The prison there is more like a rehab.
