The article mentions a blog, but there's no link to it. The article mentions that the "robot" took a photo every 20 minutes but there's not a single photo to show us.
It's like the Internet is only able to use text for articles and things like photos, animations and videos are the exclusive domain of advertisers.
People on OS X can afford to buy Windows, Macs sure cost enough.
Don't think everyone who uses a Mac can afford anything. The Mac mini doesn't cost much. In fact the entry-level Mac mini is priced at 499$USD so a Windows 10 Home license at 119$USD is nearly 25% of the cost of a Mac.
Computers used to cost a lot more so the operating system cost wasn't that much compared to the price of the whole system, but in 2015 Microsoft should really look at where things are going and ask a more reasonable price. At 29$USD I'm guessing nobody who can afford a computer would even bother pirating it.
The market for the 50K$ widgets isn't the same as the market for the 50$ widget.
The first one is industrial, commercial, etc. They require technical support, guaranteed specifications, etc.
The second one is personal use, where price usually comes first. And so few people can afford the 50K$ widgets that you'll never see any significant difference in sales.
Same thing that differentiates "engineer" with "maker".
Engineer: gets paid to work on projects with huge tools worth multiple thousands of dollars. Maker: works on projects for fun with desktop tools worth a few hundreds of dollars.
Excellent question. My first guesses would be that either the Samsung SSDs were doing something a bit out-of-specs, or the Samsung SSDs have something that's missing from other SSDs.

For once it's actually on-topic and funny.

This is going toward homes with built-in faraday cages. Or you could, you know, just not give wi-fi access to those damn devices in the first place.
Try getting Windows 10 for free without an existing Windows 7/8 license. There's people out there using Windows XP, OS X and Linux.

Probably posting something about cows.
Just as I was getting used to the cows.
Good news! The word month doesn't appear in the title!
I'm still running the bottom-of-the-barrel CPU used in their list. Mid-2010 Mac mini, Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz E6600.
As a Canadian, I agree. Cellphone companies here are playing a strange game. As a potential customer, the only winning move is not to pay.
Anyone want to play a nice game of chess?
You mean like the way people in Vermont think maple syrup is American?
And audiophile microSD cards!
From what I've heard, they should fix printing with plastic first.
I haven't received mod points in months now, so virtual +1 Funny to you, sir.
Sure we can. There's 48V, 36V, 24V, 12V, 5V and 3.3V
That's the nice thing with standards. You can have many!

I'm not familiar with all the flash-related technologies currently in use, what's your opinion on the Intel SSDs?
No, I am Sparctacus!

Enough money to afford SSDs but not enough to afford something better than dial-up.
I bet you have a 20MHz CPU with 64GB of RAM, too.
Well of course the problem couldn't be Linux itself! It's open-source software and there's thousand of people looking at the source code every day!
Closed source... open source... they all have bugs.
