This is so ridiculous I don't even know where to start. Whoever is promoting this has no idea what is involved.
If you want to learn, buy a Xilinx demo board with a VGA or HDMI connector. You can learn something from it, and begin to see what a huge amount of work something like this requires.
Leave your high-minded ideas for open source (or free money from Kickstarter) and get a vague of idea of what you are proposing. The costs to fab anything are enormous. A $35 PCI-Express video card with no fan is a much better bargain.
Please don't "improve" slashdot. I quit scanning CNBC because the website is similar to this "new" look. I like a dense page with information and could care less what picture a bored mod selected to go with an article.
This look is not an improvement.
There is an early Bloom County cartoon about how the UI should hurt the user. It was funny. Leave it alone.
Having been an Android user for some time, I have always thought that tone we all "know and love" sounds clunky and antiquated. Step back. Look at your surroundings. Find something else that deserves obsession. This isn't it.
What this article never really manages to describe is Envelope Tracking (ET). This has been in development for several years. Look at the diagram in http://www.nujira.com/technology-pa-746.php for a better description of the concept. This article describes the application of ET in the handset.
All of this is really strategic positioning ahead of next summer's launch of the all-new iPhone 5S, where they'll start using a great new marketing campaign: "It just works!" It'll be time to turn the crank and ring the cash register again by then.
I don't have the book in front of me, but Jobs issue with flash was personal. As I recall, Adobe didn't do something he had expected years prior. He had a good memory and never would have chosen flash since it was personal.

It is a great device and I know it has saved me money during long hot summers.
If you are worried about privacy, turn off your cell phones and computers. You've already been pwned.
I knew I should have looked it up ... Oh well. Thanks for being gentle.
All your bases are belong to us.
It used to be difficult to get an article posted on Slashdot. These days it is pretty easy to get posted as "anonymous reader."
The articles look like this, especially as we move into a new election cycle. Slashdot is on a long slow slide into irrelevance.
Should do a Slashdot Poll for Giant Mythical creatures/mutants likely to attack Japan during the 2020 Olympics.
umm, that was supposed to be "all the glowing comments about the athletes." First post ever, FWIW.
to allow the glowing comments about the athletes.

Let me simplify this for you since you may not have made through the first sentence before hitting reply:

Perhaps this wasn't visible on your iPhone display...

There is nothing new under the sun. Ever read "The Puzzle Palace"? http://m.cdn.blog.hu/hi/hirszerzes/file/James%20Bamford%20-%20The%20Puzzle%20Palace%20-%20Inside%20The%20National%20Security%20Agency.pdf
They should allow access to the obvious North American news sites. The propaganda is already done for them. No worries ...
