Don't ask me, this is the first time since 2009 that I hear about Google Voice/whatever working in Canada. It took them five years to cross the border, eh?
Yes of course voice is considerably more profitable to them. But if they were really fighting against the merging of the two, we wouldn't have FaceTime/Audio over 3G/LTE/etc, voice over LTE, etc.
That's what I mean by "haven't realized what's happening". They're collaborating with what's going to be the end of their insane profits.
Then again, knowing them, it's the price of data that will just up to compensate. But how many people will keep paying then? When will those carriers realize that lowering their prices will mean more profits because a lot more people will happily sign up for their services? At this point, cellphones plans are so high that only the upper-middle-class and up can pay for them without caring.
What's funny is that Apple is pushing for it so gradually that the carriers still haven't realized what's happening. The sooner they wake up and realize we only need data (and a lot more of it), the better.
And that's without taking FaceTime Audio into account, which has been available for a while now but since it's limited to Apple devices only I suppose it's evil from your point of view. Then games being only released for Windows is also evil.
It depends. If the ARM can do roughly the same work with only 2.25 watts, that's still 100% more efficient. Don't let the small wattage confuse the big picture.

Mod parent +9000 funny.
What's next, chocobos?
Well, Sony did it, so there's a precedent.
Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One.
The U.S. Congress is not an industry, it's organized crime. I'm surprised the mafia hasn't sued them for unfair competition yet.
Yes, absolutely. And did you know that football can cause brain damage and a lot of the announcers are former players?
Must have been Sony batteries or otherwise the big bang would never have happened.
We don't
You never know what you're gonna get.
This is the first I hear about it. That's how great Google are at advertising their own products.

Well, good luck to Google, trying to analyze the only four phone numbers I'll ever be calling. Not much data in that.

Wait, you mean you can call from iOS, over Wi-Fi, to a real phone number? And it finally works in Canada too?
Good-bye magicJack and the others.
edit: oh wait, that Google service will work fine for 18 months and then Google will remove it because, hey, no profits in it.

It took so long for Android because yesterday the big bad anti-freedom Apple announced support for Voice over Wi-Fi and Voice over LTE (VoLTE) with automatic switching between the two when needed.

If ARM really is worst in performance/watt then the only things that could save it are custom CPUs, a lower cost and multiple manufacturers.

Smaller battery, smaller cost, smaller weight, smaller/thinner device.
What do you think is going to happen?
If they both get a slice of the pie, does that mean they'll have to cut the astronauts in half before the dual launches?
Depends what you do in it. It doesn't have to be a fucking Volvo.
Can Americans use terms unrelated to war and violence?
But oh, watch out! A nipple!
Yeah but then your eyes couldn't follow the display fast enough.
You'd worry about these numbers too.
Know what I mean? Nudge, nudge. Wink wink. Say no more.
