  3. Re:Low-end Mac mini on Apple Announces iPad Air 2, iPad mini 3, OS X Yosemite and More · · Score: 1

    I'm going to guess that you are comparing the "Mid 2010" Mac mini with the newly released low-end model.

    Clock speed aside, the 1.4GHz i5 in the new Mac mini is a 22 nm, fourth-generation Intel Core processor. So if I understand Intel's generations correctly, that's a 4th generation i5 compared to a Core 2 Duo which makes this new Mac mini CPU at least five generations ahead of the Core 2 Duo.

    Can anyone with more knowledge compare the clock speeds, cache, etc?

    But as usual, the latest version of Internet Explorer won't be available for older versions of Windows, meaning we'll have to keep supporting Internet Explorer 7+ for another decade or so.

    You did read the TOS of your ISP provider, right? Some don't allow any server at all (email, Web, etc) on your home connection.

  8. Re:Nexus 6 on Google Announces Motorola-Made Nexus 6 and HTC-Made Nexus 9 · · Score: 1

    The Thing is, there was a problem with those models, someone in engineering called Annie made a mistake in a background routine that caused the OS to keep trying to phone home to keep in touch with a Master Control Program, causing the Wrath of Google who were afraid the whole thing would end up on Conan so they pulled the whole thing from the shelves before someone drew First Blood.

    So now we have Nexus 6: The Sequel.

    Their design is so advanced and produces so much energy that they'll be able to build and test the CFR in less than a year even though the team anticipates being able to produce a prototype in five years. It's a hint about how they also found out how to time travel with the same process.

    Oh yeah I'm sure they are, that's why Amazon Web Services is going to build two new Australian data centers, to lose even more money.

    Note: Firefox currently uses OpenH264 only for WebRTC and not for the tag, because OpenH264 does not yet support the high profile format frequently used for streaming video. We will reconsider this once support has been added.

    Don't we need to not use the high profile format to support older devices anyway?
