I can't be the only one that hates Intel's numbering.
AMD is pretty damn obvious. Get an FX (soon Zen), and pick the highest number you can afford in your cost/benefit calculations.
Meanwhile, Intel is "i3/i5/i7" with a number afterward (and sometimes a T, sometimes an ML, MQ, HQ, Q, QM, QE suffix) , plus Mobile editions, plus Xeon editions. 'X' Xeons, 'D' Xeons, 'E' Xeons. Plus VERSION NUMBERS (E Xeon v3, E Xeon v4).
Good God, Intel, get your shit together.
Take a look for yourself and tell me whether any particular entry (without looking it up for details) is better-or-worse based solely on the model number.
"Yahoo" is still an powerful brand name that's decades old.
Who the hell throws away a household brand name and comes up with a brand new one? That's one of the biggest assets they still had. Yahoo as a brand name, Yahoo News (which tons of women still use as their primary source), and Yahoo e-mail (eww.) That, and of course as the older poster mentioned, their existing customer data. (Which everyone has now, hint hint, wink wink.)
Altaba? I mean, what is that? People are going to confuse it with "Alibaba."
There's nothing wrong with cutting costs and reducing pollution. These rounds aren't being made for killing people. You might as well be arguing that they shouldn't train recruits with "fake grenades" at first because fake grenades don't kill anyone.
...who only have one good eye, or an eyes with unequal levels of detail?
Even if we didn't get headaches. Even if it didn't cut the brightness down to nothing. Even if it didn't cost an arm-and-a-leg more and the effect "actually worked."
There are tons of people that can't exploit it because their eyes don't fit the requirements.
MEANWHILE, for the _first_ time in my entire life, I saw mountains and structures that looked like they had depth and felt 3-D. It was Jungle Book in 4K. Not every scene but occasional scenes would pop out and my wife and eye would freak out. It was like being a kid again with a sense of wonder... waiting for the next moment. I never realized what I was missing, and how amazing depth can be.
NOTICE I said a 4K TV, sitting about three feet away. Plenty of scientists/engineers have been saying that at 8K/16 things "feel 3-D" without any need for 3-D at all, and IIRC, LG just patented a technology because their new 11K TV process does exactly that.
Screw glasses. Screw paying more for a movie. Also, screw anyone who thought 4K "doesn't matter" or that the march-of-progress toward 8k "won't do anything." Because they're saying that without ever experiencing what I did. Actual. Depth. from a 2-dimension screen.
We're one step closer to having interactive wall-sized screens in our houses, and our children getting us eaten by virtual lions. (ala The Veldt, 1950)
Everyone here saying 8K is useless was saying the same arguments about 4K.
I'm standing now, in front of a 55" 4K monitor, two feet from my face. It's freaking beautiful for playing Chivalry, or having multiple remote desktops running at once.
AMD and nVidia have BOTH come out and said 8K and 16K will come to the limits of the human eye and be useful. LG has just patented a process for their 11K TV because they say it "feels 3-D" without actually using any goggles.
I just watched Jungle Book in 4K on and it was freaking amazing. A real stunner that I expected to suck. But graphically, the mountains and large buildings... we kept having to pause the screen. They fucking looked 3-D. They had depth, and for the first time in my life, mountains actually looked like... mountains.
Anyone who says there's no reason to keep going, is an idiot. Do you realize how FUCKING HARD it was to shake everyone from NSTC and PAL? It took over a DECADE of work to get people to more toward extensible, forward-compatible standards. Why keep going? Fuck, WHY STOP NOW!
We have computers that can do amazing stuff because people didn't stop to ask "Will it be useful?" They made cool stuff, and inventors found ways to exploit it. We can host web servers, we can run hundreds of Chrome tabs, and run 3-D games IN OUR BROWSERS, all as a "given" thanks to people pushing the envelope in niche areas.
Will 8K be useful? Will 16K be useful? WHO KNOWS. But the shear amount of technology required to achieve that 8K/16K that we'll have at our fingertips in 10 years will blow us away. And even if we don't use that 8K/16K, we'll still be better off for it. AMD and nVidia are already pushing toward it and pushing toward Vulkan because OpenGL/DX simply don't scale well to multi-GPU solutions. And why? Because they both know (google it) that "anything above 6K will require a multiple-GPU solution." So we're going to have tons of advances in parallel-GPU technology, 3-D RAM that can supply the bandwidth, and more.
NEVER put your foot down when a bunch of people are steam-rolling forward into new technology, even if you don't find the core goal useful. I don't use tablets, but that doesn't mean tablets and phones haven't helped pioneer trends in DPI-independent GUIs.
I've actually been researching network game architecture lately and I was actually planning on doing some video-recorded analysis of various commercial-game network models when latency, jitter, out-of-order, and other errors occur. Extreme latency is a great way to "reveal" what's going on under-the-hood.
So this time, I got video and I didn't even have to set up artificial lag!
...at exactly midnight, while I was playing Chivalry. I kept getting laggier... and laggier... and then everyone "froze" and the client-side prediction took over. I was recording video and it was pretty funny. Everyone just kept walking forward, until they were in a wall, and kept trying to walk forwards.
It was interesting what the client prediction would let you do. You could change weapons. You could swing your weapon. You could throw axes (of which you have two) and they flew through the air, stuck in people, and even knocked helmets off. BUT, your axe counter never actually decreased. So you could just keep throwing hundreds of axes. The animation timings / speeds were unaffected. You couldn't "chant" or grunt. You obviously couldn't damage anyone.
Anyway, my internet was down until the next morning and even then, it still required a cable modem reset to fix the connection.
Step 1: Target Asia by dumbing down complex dialog, plots, (hard to follow with a language barrier) and reducing the number of black people in your movies.
Step 2: Release
Step 3: Profit.
Bill Maher: "Part of it is--and this is the dirty little secret--is that most movies are made with an eye to the foreign market, and Asians [in Asian countries] really are racist. [...] They don't want to see black people generally in their movies."
Of course, I can't wait for plenty of people to refute this without any sources by just going "Nu-uh."
While Smalltalk clearly has plenty of influences in later languages, from everything I've ever heard or read, the language to learn is LISP--not Smalltalk. I've heard countless stories of people saying it retrains your brain and opens your eyes to new ways of solving problems and that "It's the best language to learn that you'll never actually use." (Because it helps in your normal life.)
It's like learning Latin in school, to help you appreciate English.
What do many of us do every morning? We check Reddit or some other news aggregator. We want to feel "informed" about the world. But the news is almost universally bad. "Good news" doesn't make it and even many uplifting stories start as horrifically sad ones that turned out "okay."
Think about the elections. It's been proven that people get sadder during the elections (regardless of what side). It's full of negativity.
Well, this study would suggest it's a very bad thing to start your day off with one of these sad stories. If you don't get your brain ready for the day before hitting this stuff, it could make you depressed the whole day. (And who hasn't watched a sad documentary and thought, "I hate this world." the rest of the day.)
So the point here, in this post, is that you should either "prime" yourself with something positive before reading the news... or just don't read it at all. (Another related fact is how news makes people "Feel" informed and connected but has very little correlation to their actual influence over the world.)
I was given a smallish book years ago entitled, "365 Thank Yous: The Year a Simple Act of Daily Gratitude Changed My Life". Basically, the book is a memoir of a guy who after two divorces and a failing business received a thank you letter. He then realized how rarely in his entire life he ever had been thanked. So he choose to start writing a thank you letter to someone else every day, and it transformed his internal worldview for the better, as well as his external life and interactions with people.
Basically, the act of _forcing_ yourself to come up with someone to be thankful for every day, primes your mind into a more positive state--and I imagine: doing it over-and-over pre-primes your mind into a way of thinking, makes it easier to recall good acts when pressed (ala your brain puts more emphasis on those linkages to memories) .
It's interesting that once in awhile a anecdotal books can be well ahead of the scientific curve.

Pretty sure uBlock Origin is one of the few that isn't whored-out these days.
At least throw a damn citation out.

My favorite part is how Intel CPU prices "magically" drop in price whenever AMD releases a new CPU.

> It was the first UI to feature Blur and Transparency.
Uh... Windows 98 had bit-masked transparency with apps like Winamp 2.x or 3.x.
compiz came out in 2006.
Windows Vista with Aero was completed in November 2006, and released to the general public in January 2007. Almost a full year earlier than Leopard.
Oh god, that looks terrible. Good catch. It's an ENTIRE UI based on iTunes for Windows.
I love how you act like "removing all the universal apps" is some easy, not-annoying task. Try doing that on a hundred new computers.
If it's easier to Google "Windows Classic Shell" (a third-party application) than it is to make your start menu usable. You officially suck.
Since you asked, sure.
It'll take awhile to upload the 4K video (2.75 GB for a mere 2.5 minutes) and YouTube to reprocess it. But the link, when live, will be here:

... care.
But they still cared enough to analyse what the actual usage numbers were.
You can say, "Hey, they looked at raw numbers and didn't think their power users depend MORE on those messages than the rest do."
But you can't say, "They didn't bother to look at all."
And I'm RIGHT UP THERE with Apple shit-talkers. But you gotta come with real arguments before I get behind you.
It's not just the same schema. It's literally the SAME DAMN MOVIE.

If the article ends with a question mark, the answer is "No". Because if they had evidence to say it, they would have just put a period.
Close. The actual plan is this:
