Only if you're talking about a place on Mercury, or about to be engulfed in vast swathes of basaltic lava flows. Don't use this if you place your datacenter in Yellowstone Park, folks.
In both cases, you have more serious problems than losing the contents of your storage. Like being dead.
Wow, $15 for a pizza. A frozen pizza in the supermarket costs far far less than that. Anyway, I assume that WoW addicts are far more likely to order out for fast food beceause that's only a minute or two away from the computer, compared to the five minutes spent preparing noodles, etc.
Actually, most of them get their mothers to bring their dinner down to the basement.
Not that they would be trained in any specific area, although the burned lap response is quite impressive (sounds like a retail worker chinese whisper to me). It's a supermarket - the consumer does the research. It's not a specialist retailer who should know the answers and find the device ideal for you, but at a higher price.
Be patient and check out online deal sites like HotUKDeals.com that will have someone post up the good game deals every so often. But yeah, first party Wii games never drop in price:-(
It used to work for me, then they introduced the +/- grey bar and it stopped working for me. Typical Slashdot though, "bad coding barely achieves aims". Still, could be worse, could be Facebook.
I could see a touchscreen touchpad (like what was rumoured for the MacBook Pros once in the past), but this is just silly. I prefer the laptop that had the fold-out full-sized second screen.
This makes the laptop deeper (or the touchpad area smaller, moving the keyboard forward into a more awkward position).
On the other hand, a single touchscreen display for launching things with icons, changing volume graphically, etc, is better than the Optimus keyboard in many ways.
Gotta say, that isn't very impressive from AnandTech. Other sites had the rumours for a while. Still, you were happy when you bought it, it hasn't changed or become less, so it's all good:-)
A middle-tier ARM SoC provider competing against TI, Freescale, Qualcomm and Samsung for the media player market, with a sideline in high-end compute and graphics boards that exist as a technology testbed for said SoC products?
Every geek should have five computer hardware sites at least in his daily web browsing schedule, and thus be aware of forthcoming releases. Your mission, young schnoog, is to find five such sites and read them daily. I recommend a spread of sites from reliable and consistent (Tech Report) through to wild rumour-mongering (SemiAccurate and brethren) that get the occasional bullseye.
1280x1024 was a high consumer resolution ten years ago. Today a high-resolution for consumers is 1920x1080. That's 2x already accounted for.
In addition for games, anti-aliasing smooths edges very well, so 4x AA (especially MSAA, which the 5870 supports) is sort-of-like increasing resolution (rendering resolution). So that's 8x in total (or 16x if you use 8x AA).
DPI hasn't really changed though. Maybe with the advent of OLED displays it will. I'd like desktop displays (24") to be 200dpi - not with smaller UI elements, but the same size, just smoother and crisper. I guess I could get a 40" display and sit twice as far back for a similar effect, but that's not ideal really!
I totally agree - it was pretty much the only example of needing such a device that I could think of immediately, and the fact that said example is illegal in many places shows how totally pointless it is.
" if a PS3 fails after 12 months, it is not their problem. In the UK at least, the Sale of Goods Act would disagree with that statement."
Probably mentioned already, but the sales of goods act means that it is the retailer that deals with the problem, not Sony. So it indeed isn't their problem - until the retailers start complaining.
"this will allow you to 'play your music and answer phone calls just by inserting the buds into your ear or taking them out"
Sounds more awkward than pressing a button on the phone in my opinion, but if you're driving or you can't otherwise get at the device it could be useful. Or if you have ears that aren't just right for in-ear 'phones, which keep falling out as a result.
There are 75,000 apps for ARM iPhone OS X. There are 10,000+ apps for ARM Android OS. There are loads of apps for ARM Maemo. There are loads of apps for ARM Symbian. There are loads of apps for ARM Windows CE and derivatives. There are loads of apps for ARM Linux and derivatives.
(I'm assuming dual-core for this metric, as all the other metrics mention this).
Dual-core 800MHz Cortex A9 outperforms 1.6GHz Atom (hyper-threaded, one presumes).
Also this is a hard-core, not a soft-core. It's a macro for a particular process, allowing ARM to provide something a lot easier for smaller clients to integrate into their designs. This is clearly a response to (but probably initiated far earlier than) Intel's TSMC Atom SoC plans.
Ease of use is a big issue. It takes a while to activate the camera on my phone, and the video quality is appalling. The nano appears to have reasonable video quality, and Apple won't have made it a PITA to use.
However the digital camera in my phone is 3.2MP, which means it's still the obvious choice for stills (if I don't have a proper camera on me), and Apple recognise that in not having that as an option in the 0.3MP nano. Shame that Apple could source a widescreen camera though (852x480).
I do have to question the extra cost of the camera on the nano though. I'm sure it's a cheap component, but the end user cost might be $10, and I'm sure many people would prefer to have that in their pocket.
I'm all for video reviews, but for the love of all that is sane, please provide an article with it for those of us who are reading at work or where video sucks (i.e., flash 10 was apparently written in sinclair basic running upon a sinclair ZX80 emulator, it's so damn slow whereas previous versions were acceptable on non-dual-core 2GHz+ processors).
This also applies to the BBC News website - don't bloody replace articles with videos, please have the videos as an additional feature alongside the article.
So, what were the conclusions? I saw a nano vs flip video yesterday, and the nano's quality was appalling in comparison, the flip had far better colour reproduction and massively crisper imagery.
C'mon, KDE was started by then, because I remember running version 1 in 1998. I believe 1998 was the year of Linux on the Desktop even.
There is nothing but good in getting a useful library, even as a CHOICE, out in the open source world for use by other projects. It sounds genuinely useful for small to medium sized projects, and big projects will implement something themselves as they already have. Indeed I bet some big projects will switch to use this, if they can, especially if the library is available on other platforms for their use.
You mean you set the "Open with..." in the Get Info window? That still works, the article says so.
The real problem is that everyone needs five media players on their computers just for handling bad videos, but they all have the same extension. Quicktime, VLC, mplayer, niceplayer, etc, etc, etc. It's a shame that the "vague short extension" mechanism of identifying files has won, especially now we have container files with variant contents.

Take me to your leader.
The other question is what is the performance hit of using the frame plug-in instead of running the browser natively.
FTFA: "Notably, IE8's SunSpider scores with Chrome Frame running equaled Google's Chrome browser"

I'm totally against mobile phone usage when driving - see my posting history!
Just used it as an example. The fact the example is illegal says a lot about how useful this technology is in the real world.
I totally agree - it was pretty much the only example of needing such a device that I could think of immediately, and the fact that said example is illegal in many places shows how totally pointless it is.
Not that I wanted to start such an argument.

However what's wrong with a clicker on the cable?
If you want to be unemployed playing games in a basement.
What's wrong with maths, english and science these days?
No, the 2GHz ARM had twice the power of the 1.6GHz Atom, if you had read the article. That's 1.9W.
The 800MHz dual-core ARM matched the 1.6GHz Atom, at 0.5W.
That's one benchmark (third party, backed by both ARM and Intel), quoted by ARM. Salt, lemon, tequila, take.
There are 75,000 apps for ARM iPhone OS X.
There are 10,000+ apps for ARM Android OS.
There are loads of apps for ARM Maemo.
There are loads of apps for ARM Symbian.
There are loads of apps for ARM Windows CE and derivatives.
There are loads of apps for ARM Linux and derivatives.
You could find some answers to your post by reading the linked articles.
Dual-core 2GHz Cortex A9 1.9W
Dual-core 0.8GHz Cortex A9 0.5W
(I'm assuming dual-core for this metric, as all the other metrics mention this).

Betas of Catalyst 9.10 are already in Ubuntu's 9.10 alpha releases. Whether it will support OpenGL 3.1 and OpenCL or not is another thing.
