These could actually make food testing devices for developers who want to ensure decent performance on cheaper devices (e.g., the no-name stuff that's sold at supermarkets).
Since modular tablets like the Asus Transformer are taking over the niche Netbooks filled a few years ago (portable computers for situations that don't require the power of a full-fledged laptop), it doesn't hurt to have more options in that segment.
It's an open secret that the Japanese police tends to only pursue those crimes where there's also a good chance of getting a conviction or the situation requires it. Certainly makes for a good clear-up rate on paper, but it also means a lot of not so clean-cut murders are registered as accidents or natural causes.
Would be more interesting to see the results from an attack on a SHA-512 hash of a 15 character password. Stuff like that isn't that uncommon in many web applications out there.
Nowadays, MD5 offers mostly decorative value, whenever you want something unimportant to have a more uniform look (e.G. public reference IDs for blog entries).
That's not always a testament to the 360's strengths.
Some contracts with console companies actually include certain requirements, which will force the product to favor their platform over the competitor's. Some don't even beat around the bush and pretty much tell you that it has to look better on console A than console B.

Sure, but that's just this era's version of a court jester's costume.
Unless it's a certain group in Mexico. Those guys are already past that point and have begun to actively fight the drug cartels.
Magic underwear? Same loony bin, different floor.
Decided to finally activate those vouchers from the THQ bundle and everything worked just fine.

As a teenager I learned the basics of building movie props. Some of the sketches involved certainly would've looked scary to outsiders.
Not just the law, the criminal system as well.

I guess actual products like the Palm Touchstone were just figments of my imagination.
Either that or the quality at their Asian manufacturers has sunk so low, they might as well move production back to the US.
/. is only a few days behind of the rest of the web. Feels like progress!
Stuff going on in countries with a less developed communications infrastructure can still be of value to the rest of us.
Yes, they've crippled the FPS genre so much that they can be played even on a console.

Wouldn't market research like that be in their own best interest anyway?
It usually involves just enough action by the user to ensure that it's done intentionally.
With the adoption of GPU-based rendering in 3D graphics workstations for the entertainment industry it's great to see developments like that.
HTC thought it would be a good idea to settle with a patent troll?
They're just holding it wrong!
In part because due to the high crime rate the real place has become too dangerous to film a movie there about a dystopian crime-ridden Detroit.
I was worried at first, until I saw that the airport was named after the at least somewhat sane one.
When the governments of the USA and Iran are using the same playbook you shouldn't really be surprised by stuff like this.
