I keep seeing "oxo-biodegradable" on plastic bags but the problem is that it can be either regular plastic with additives (which is the worst idea possible - breaking plastic down into smaller pieces just means easier ground and water contamination) or cellulose.
What we need is biodegradable plastics made from cellulose and we need to be able to know which is which.
Reflection Technologies Inc. SLA Model P4 – monochromatic red, LED display 384 x 224 pixel resolution (produced by mechanically scanning each 1 × 224 LED array) Four simultaneous shades per 4-pixel column (black + 3 red, of approximately 128 levels of intensity) 50 Hz[6] double-buffered frame rate
What is "four shades per 4-pixel column" supposed to mean? And how does black + three shades of red (2-bit) turns into 128 levels of intensity (7-bit)?
We need a simpler computer system where each part only does one thing so that its code is simple enough to understand and each part communicates with the others via simple protocols instead of having everything concentrated in a single place. The hardware version of Unix, in a way.
Unfortunately it would make the computers bigger, slower and more power hungry so it's not going to happen.
I think you might be selling Shomi and Cineplex Online a bit short. Both seem to be fine services -- what is really holding them back is a near total lack of device support, making it more difficult to integrate them into the living room (or in the case of Shomi,needing to be a Shaw or Rogers customer).
What's holding them back is that this is the first time I even hear about them at all. Probably due a total lack of device support, as you say. The fact that you need to be a Shaw/Rogers/Whatever customer is just plain stupid, it's like they don't understand how the Internet works at all.
So I'd argue that the content is there -- it's the device support that sucks. It's all over the place. You might get two or three services with a Roku, but for others you'd need an Xbox 360. Apple Canada should be pursuing more of these sorts of connections. It's bad enough we don't get many of the US service like Hulu here, but it feels nearly criminal that we also don't even get was access to the existing Canadian services either. The services are there -- it's the lack of widespread device support that is hurting them.
Exactly. I'd love to have a "CBC app" on my Apple TV, if only to watch Corner Gas again.
You can now get a real arcade MVS motherboard on eBay and buy used arcade carts for a lot less than the home version of the console. Just buy an arcade RGB video converter, a JAMMA harness, arcade controls, build yourself an arcade cabinet and you're good to go. Make yourself a bartop if you don't have room for a full-size cabinet.
Popular games are easy to find and usually available for under fifty bucks. Just search for "neo geo mvs cart".
In Canada, the only notable services we have are the iTunes Store (of course), Netflix, Crackle (if you like watching the same ads over and over even in the same breaks), Crunchyroll (if you like anime). There's also YouTube and Vimeo.
Tim Cook is an excellent bean-counter and a master of the supply chain, but he sounds like a boring academic teacher even when he tries to fake emotions. His timing is slow and his tone is sleep-inducing.
When Steve Jobs was doing a Keynote, his timing was great and he sounded enthusiastic and amazed by what he was presenting.

Solar panels can produce power at night. All you need to do is install them on a rotary axis and move them 90 degrees every 6 hours.
I think Slashdot readers are made of plastic, that would explain a few things.

You swap it. The ROM would be in a socket.
What about starting at the beginning?
NASA still knows how many horsepower they need per rocket. Do we know how many 7400's we need to make an intel i7?
Oh, so like a palette per scanline (except in this case it was columns instead of rows). Makes more sense.
It wasn't the Virtual Boy's fault.
You went outside. That's your problem.
If they keep the "NX" codename, how many people will be expecting this instead?
It was four shades of red, you insensitive clod!
No wait, it says:

But integrated parts means more complex firmwares which means more places to store trojans, viruses and spyware.
Think systemd.
We need to go back to BIOS stored in ROM.

You can't rootkit the boot ROM of early 8-bit computers. A simple power cycle and your computer is 100% clean.
I'm a bit disappointed. I thought they were going to build this.
Great, now you added wood into the mix. This was supposed to be purely about mathematics!

They're talking about Bitcoins, not Dogecoins!

No, the current one is only a few weeks old. They lowered the price during the keynote!

Fixed that for you.

FastTracker II seems more interesting than that contraption with dozens of arcade buttons.
TL;DW
It's going to be called "The browser formerly known as Internet Explorer".
