>>Turning off the engine with the car still in gear could damage the gearbox and/or engine, as the gearbox and engine will now be being driven by the wheels due to existing momentum of the car.
woah there...
what do you think happens when you come off the accelerator and roll to a stop from 60, for example?
If you are thinking of the S7-300 which a CPU can cost up to 5k USD, or the mighty S7-400 which CPU the size of a shoebox can list up to 20k USD. Well in that case you would be wrong, because at the very top of siemens control hardware family lives the 19" Industrial PC. Which if sir has to ask, sir cannot afford........which only runs Windows XP or Windows 7.
can i run visual studio or Siemens Step 7 on an ipad?
no? then bugger off while I write software for a million dollar industrial machine.
anyone can make a gimicky hardware toy, e.g OpenPandora, raspberry pi, apple ipad, but for real work cad (email and word dont count), I need a x86 Windows PC.
I think you have missed the possibilities of a PC and where console games are born.
a PC can do everything from run a nuclear power plant (Siemens Simatic) to be a code platform (Visual Studio), be an office suite, (Microsoft office), and thats not starting to be a web/file server. A PC is industry standard and can be reparied and upgraded from any vendor in the world.
a PS3. it only does everything!*...
*where everything is play PS3 games, and nothing else. cant even open a text file.
In 20 years time, your PS3 will be in a landfill, and the then donated i7 will be in africa, helping someone.
not to appear cynical, but nowadays I think that if a person cant turn a PC on, install an OS, install a game, etc, then I dont want to play with them because they will probably be slow and boring to play with. I dont want the window lickers in my tatical / stratagy / fps / *insert game here*
yes that does sound elitist. PC gaming master race, etc.
a "steam console" with PC hardware, with what i can only assume with x86 hardware with a USB port in the frount and a HDMI port on the end...
just like a PC? that I can buy from anywhere? except with a steam sticker? will it run Windows 7? whats the point
I assume they wiill use the bulk-cost savings of PC parts to bring the price down, but the entire point of having a PC over a console is that it can do other things other than games dedicated by the manufacturer. perhaps it is just a PC, perhaps its locked down.
I'm still not buying one, a PS4 or a xbox3 or that phantom console that hardocp called out.
Ive learned the hard way the only way to play a game is on a PC. and PC only.

nuclear is still the way forward.
they'll be back they always come back
......because noone wants to press the accel and brake at the same time(!) rite?

call me 5 minutes old, but what is thunderbolt? a new x86 standard? a new arduino clone?
rate me down... again.. but I think the header should have had more info.
you know what, that is a very good point
is the rPi another Phantom console?
1. Buy hard drive from brand A
2. Buy hard drive from brand B
3. put in seperate esata enclosures
4. backup to both drives.
facebook is making laws?!
wtf
to have a platform where the user can modify/upgrade/repair the device without the golden permission slip some pretentious cunt?
write 250,000 lines of C on a keyboard or touchscreen?

its a toy
if the ipad had USB slots, esata, RS232, RS485, ProfibusDP master, UART, SD card, DVI, gigabit ethernet port, then I would get one to work with.
you can lose the shitty camera and sensors as they dont add any value to me.
you can plug your car in using the ODB scanners which use CANBUS. cheap USB scanners with windows software are on amazon now.
its not too far fetched to have a programmable golf bat.

no really, its a toy.
If I connect an ipad to my desktop, windows detects it as an "entertainment device"
I hate apple, but if anyone were to steal my electronics/car, etc, I would happlily see them stood up against a wall and shot.
I agree!
More blood for oil!
I think we need another campain of crusades.
good for them
pity I wont buy another sony product ever again.
what about prior art of the PADD in star trek TNG?
I agree, that is an issue that they will have to overcome.

erm... first off, thats not permitted anyway is it? multiple users to an account and all that?

of course they want a single game licence to be to one person. its a business, not a charity!
