I have been looking at online stores to buy a 2.5 inch internal SSD drive and a matching USB3 drive enclosure for my Dell Laptop since yesterday. The laptop contains a ~750 GB HDD. It is half way through the 3 years warranty period and I do not want to void it by replacing the HDD with the SSD myself. Getting it done through Dell would cost more. I initially tried to find external SSD drives but the costs seem to be 30% higher than buying the enclosure separately. The USB3 interface at 5 Gbit/s seem only slightly slower than the 6 Gbit/s SATA 3 and as such should yield significant performance boost when compared to my current HDD.
Ultimately, though I had decided to delay the purchase so that the price of SSDs can come down further. Thanks to TFA, I now have renewed motivation to buy them today itself.
Nah, still too expensive. We need some competition in this area to bring down the rates. It is only then that the vision of an AIO spam package in every home can be realized.
Benjamin Franklin said that there will be plenty of time to sleep once you are dead. What he did not mention was that this abundance of time won't be far away if you keep following his advice.
About an year ago my HTC HD2 was stolen while getting off a bus, here in India. I am quite aware of my belongings while traveling so it came as a surprise. I realized that it was stolen within 15 seconds but could not find it on anyone (yes they were generous enough to allow being frisked; pockets only). Most probably, it was the person sitting next to me. He had taken the ticket to the same stop as me. But, while getting down he was nowhere to be found.
That day I realized how easy it was for these guys. Although, I do respect them for their skills. Apparently, the key to pulling it off is a push. At the police station, there was a template for reporting stolen mobiles. In fact that is the only template they had. Ever since, I have been using a phone so cheap that it would strike their prestige should they attempt to steal it.
I realized that all I really needed from a phone is the ability to make/receive voice calls, receive SMS alerts and sometimes, text people. This dumb phone serves all these and it's keypad gives me the most efficiency in doing them. Until the manufacturers and service providers implement a kill switch for all stolen phones, I have decided to stay clear of smartphones.
Not everyone is as lucky as my boss who has had cabbies frantically try and succeed in their attempts to return the phones he had left behind. Even a village rallied to find the owner of a phone he dropped in a swamp while snapping (photographs) birds. I am sure Poseidon is spending sleepless nights trying to return the phone he threw into the ocean while being frustrated by a client.
What about reading this slashdot discussion? Does that put me under surveillance too? Surely, more productive things can be run on these computing resources than looking into my boredom remedies.
So, this new pizza will have a 1.578e+6 minutes delivery guarantee instead of 30? As a valued dominos customer (orders every weekend) I would like to avail this 20 times faster service.
Today it is in an empty area, tomorrow it might pop up somewhere else. Will ad blocker work on these?
At this rate we might end up with ads inside ads.
The biggest hurdle remains radiation. Without the protective cocoon of Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere, astronauts receive substantially higher doses of radiation, heightening the chances that they will die of cancer.
Why not make the earth itself our spaceship? Once we find another inhabitable planet, dump half the population and continue our quest for space colonization (only now with 2 spaceships).

assault and battery?
People at DCUO do it every thursday and nobody gets arrested.
not home made
I beg to differ.
We can take on kaiju...
Category 1 only
Considering that Microsoft is a US company and Nokia Finnish, what would happen if China did not approve?
requiring car manufacturers to include rearview cameras in all cars
What's wrong with cameras mounted at the front? At least one can record the journey properly that way.
What about the fundamental rights of these organs?
So, you do tremble before grodd!

Google's only innovation of interest has been their PageRank algorithm. Everything since then has been a bought-out or an also-ran.
What about gmail & google docs?

Why Buy Microsoft Milk When the Google Cow Is Free?
Because not everyone likes to milk the cows.

I remember that from the Stan Lee's Superhumans episode.
'software' was comfortable clothing
So corsets are hardware?
Dogs' Brains Have Human-like "Voice Area"
So, human brains do have a doggy like "Bark Area"!

The company gave those who live nearby a certificate for a free pizza and some soda.
What would they have given for free to the residents of Chernobyl?

Okay, your analogy is better than mine. And now, all your analogies are belong to us.
It is analogous to the way software companies (extremely few) get paid for fixing bugs in their software.

Are you referring to the rambling of this guy?
