Windows 8 tablets are expensive laptop-replacement machines. The cheap-as-shit media-consuming toy device market is still owned 100% by ARM. These two markets are not even close to the same thing.
Lenovo Yoga 2 sells for $299.... The oldest model iPad mini sells for $249. The new model iPad Air sells for $499 and up.
The legacy compatibility can be handled by running a VM. There's not need to support it in hardware at all, but you're right that it takes only a tiny bit of die space. A '386 had fewer than 300k transistors. A P5 had 3 million. An Atom has 47 million. That's skipping some architecture steps in between, but you can see the direction. Each can have a complete implementation of the previous architecture and it's still only a few percent of the processor complexity.
Windows 8 tablets run Intel processors, so they're not "trying" to break into the tablet market, they HAVE broken into it. The smartphone market, not so much.
"The presence of ATCV-1 DNA was not associated with demographic variables but was associated with a modest but statistically significant decrease in the performance on cognitive assessments of visual processing and visual motor speed."
I'm assuming location would be a demographic variable they'd consider when looking at something that's found in pond and lake water.
Agreed, FPGA hardware in the CPU would need standardization to get OS level support. The main things these are used for now is places where you'd otherwise need both a microprocessor and a FPGA to manage specialized hardware, and you don't have the volume and budget to pay for an ASIC. They haven't been widely thought of as a means to extend CPU functionality in ways that are expensive or slow to do in a CPU but fast and cheap to do in a logic array.
But there are many ways to skin that cat, and the one most in favor right now is to embed what would in the past have been ASICs in the microprocessor. (memory managers, PHYs, USB hubs, GPUs).
It explains that they measured the cognitive differences between infected and non-infected people, and how, which wasn't addressed in the clickbait summary.
Hell, if I were in charge, I'd deny the request and tell the guy if he wanted to pray for the strippers, he can do that anonymously because "God knows who they are." And if he wants to pray to the strippers, he'd better bring a lot of dollar bills for the sacrifice.
There's a lot of FPGA-based SOCs that contain embedded microprocessor cores in them. (e.g. Xilinx's Virtex and XINQ, Altera's Cyclone, Arria and Stratix families, Microsemi's Smartfusion 2). We may see that flip the other way so there's a very high-end core or several of them in a SOC, with FPGA logic to allow pin reconfiguration and large CLBs for speeding up or offloading processes.
That might spawn new operating systems that manage how you use and configure the CLB and pin configuration. Do they have to remain stable from boot time until you reset the machine, or can software reconfigure them on the fly? (There are already some FPGA families that allow partial reconfiguration of the FPGA while running.)
As an electronics designer, I believe he's dead wrong. Specialty ICs become obsolete almost immediately on deployment. You can replace a general purpose processor, or a special purpose processor with a general purpose processor. And you can upgrade the function of a product.
The internet is designed so that it's fault tolerant, and trying to build a network that nobody can interfere with is nearly impossible and not worth the effort.
Regarding apartment dwellers, who cares? They're not the target market and they're already well served.
The question is whether the internet-by-satellite folks are going to lose the race to provide ubiquitous broadband service to everybody as the ground based networks get built out, just like Motorola lost billions on Iridium.
Prior to Sarbanes-Oxley, the evidence tampering law only pertained to evidence in investigations that were already under way, not to pending investigations.

"There's no easy way to say this: You're eating too much chocolate, all of you."
My dentist has been telling me this for years. So has my wife. Do you think they're seeing each other?
Yes it is. Take the output, put it back into the input and reproduce the original input (scaled).
Don't repeat yourself.
It sure is when you're trying to get a project built.
Apple changed processor architectures entirely twice.
Just because it's been done poorly doesn't mean it can't be done well.
"Merely" laptops as in more capable than what you think of as a tablet?

You didn't read the linked article, "Hackers attacked the U.S. weather system in October, causing a disruption in satellite feeds..."

This is why all the smart Italians already live in the United States.
There has to be some physical mechanism by which Cthulhu overcomes the resistance of his prey..

I'm presuming they installed the tracking device before they sold the car.

Fuck overspecialization.
It was only viable in the sense that it generated positive cash flow. They never paid off their creditors.
The dealer owns the car. He's entitled to add stuff to it and not required to disclose that when you buy it.

It was intended to apply to "any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States."
