That's what technology like PCM is for. As you shrink the lithography, PCM purportedly gains in reliability due to the reduced amount of material needed to actually store the bit.
That and, unlike memristors, you can actually buy PCM now, and while the price per MB is still quite high... it exists in volume and isn't vaporware, which memristors by and large still are.
There was a lot of radiation released by Fukushima.
There was. The vast majority of it vanished over the past year as the iodine decayed. The majority of the remainder is now washed out to sea and will likely be indistinguishable from the normal radioisotope content of the ocean as is.
Don't tell everyone to panic but don't lie and, in effect, tell everyone they are going to be okay either.
So they'll need to do some cleanup and keep an eye on things with their doctor. It's not like everyone will have some hideous cancer as a direct result of this. Get back to me in a couple decades when rates of incidence are trackable and we can see what happened, when, and to who.
1. That article is over a year old, rendering any discussion about Iodine moot. 2. Even a year ago, the levels were well below EPA standards. 3. Do they even do regular testing of milk in Vermont for radiation?
Please, if you're going try and make a point then you should try to be a little less "chicken little" about it.
Note that the above is true only on ARM. They're making PCs a pain by mandating default Secure Boot to Windows and leaving it up in the air if it'll be possible to customize the bootloader keys, but not mandating lock down on them.
They would if they could, yes, but their own legacy is too big for them to do so, let alone anti-competiton concerns.

zerohedge has been crawling with a graph of myspace use, showing its vaguely bell shaped rise and fall, overlaid with facebooks rise, now topping, and presumably much like myspace, falling to zero in a couple years.
Myspace's bell had a lot to do with the rise of Facebook. Facebook's user base is much wider than what Myspace ever had and there's no real replacement, at least for now.
I don't foresee Facebook falling to zero unless something comes along that does everything they do AND gets the grandparents, parents, children, and grandchildren.
I didn't say anything about what it makes the vendor. Why do you jump to conclusions?
Because you called the end user an asshole for wanting to do as they wished.
Only assholes do as they wish. Good people do as they're told. Right?
Sure, refuse support. Then when they fumble the original stuff back in, offer support again in spite of whatever damage they've caused.
Or acknowledge that people are going to want to wander outside of the walled garden. Give them a clean out and provide a scorched earth method of getting back to base.
You're very generous with other people's time & money.
And playing control freak to protect the richest company in the world's cash supply is... what now?
Apple has to be paid for -any- 3rd party software. They just shifted the cost on to the developers. I imagine they'll shift even more to the cloud in the future, at which point you'll pay by the month or your device will be crippled.
Except that you're under the assumption that he means to put iOS on other hardware. I suspect he means "stop being assholes about people who want to put arbitrary software on their devices" instead.
current events pop quiz for you: what is happening in syria right now?
A world of shit.
how would rate the importance of that current event in regard to the topic of the videogame industry there?
Probably higher, but that doesn't make them mutually exclusive.
if a syrian game developer were in this comment thread right now (something that would actually endanger his life), do you think maybe he would be saying something like, gee, i dunno "HELLO, SPOILED FAT CLUELESS WESTERNERS, WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT VIDEOGAMES, THEY ARE MURDERING US"
According to the article, a lot of them have straight up left the country. And those that haven't, probably aren't in a position to comment.
Do you seriously think we're ignoring everything else that's going on and focusing solely on video games? Because that's what you're screaming, rather than acknowledging that there's a lot more going on. Here we have all the news in the world focusing on the shit happening in Syria, one article comes along focusing on an industry we're familiar with and you lose your shit.
They may not care, but it's interesting to look at what happens to a familiar industry when your nation is hit by sanctions thanks to your utterly insane ruler. It also shows that said ruler isn't necessarily impacted, but the economy takes a hit and your best and brightest are forced to go elsewhere.
Yeah he points out the sanctions hit the nation hard and killed an industry that was just starting up. And you whine that they even gave the games industry over there a slice of attention.
Oh, shut up you sanctimonious twat. It's looking at the effect on an industry as a result of Assad's destructive actions and the sanctions they incurred.
It's called taking a perspective, one of many you can have in places as diverse as the middle east.
If instead of reactors it had, say, offshore wind power it wouldn't be in this mess.
No shit, Sherlock. Problem is that offshore wind power wasn't available 40+ years ago. Spouting silly hypotheticals doesn't exactly draw people into agreement with you.
Do you regularly measure the radiation on your beaches? How consistent are the records? How far above background is the radiation? What is it now, just a year past the event?
Please. Don't think for a moment that the people running these businesses weren't happy to encourage their state legislators to pass these laws. Government represents the people, and the people also own the businesses.
Not that barring the government from passing these laws would have done anything in the face of culturally institutionalized hate.
The biggest flaw with the N9 was that the OS was NOT a major OS.
But it was ready, with multiple handsets in the pipeline (Lumia hardware was originally Harmattan targeted) and it would have been a stunning, welcome replacement for Symbian at Nokia's high end. I don't think for a moment they would have had trouble creating a userbase for it.
The deal that was not struck that should have, was to get Samsung on board and using MeeGo.
It may have happened, but likely not until well after Nokia themselves had transitioned fully to MeeGo, which hadn't happened when Elop killed everything not Microsoft-dependent.

GJ with no links there bub. Mind following up with some?
1. That article is over a year old, rendering any discussion about Iodine moot.

Actually, I think that runs counter to the notion of calling someone a "Linux geek."
There have been complaints leveled at Apple for years but the legions rush to their defense.
Learn to quote.

Only after they get their $99 fee, and you win their approval.
Well, since Apple bars users from doing anything they don't permit, yeah, good luck with that.
Apple has to be paid for -any- 3rd party software. They just shifted the cost on to the developers. I imagine they'll shift even more to the cloud in the future, at which point you'll pay by the month or your device will be crippled.
Don't worry, Microsoft is not one to be left behind. In fact, this has been a long time goal of Microsoft.
They're getting into the lock-down pool with Metro, the WinRT API, and Windows RT.
Wait, so an end-user doing that makes the end-user an asshole, but the vendor preventing that doesn't? What does that make the vendor, a patron saint?
Refuse software support until they revert to stock I could understand. Voiding the warranty as a whole is just spiteful.
And I don't think anyone has suggested they should.
Except that you're under the assumption that he means to put iOS on other hardware. I suspect he means "stop being assholes about people who want to put arbitrary software on their devices" instead.
Yup, they allocated public money right into their pockets, after having burned billions and held a gun to the nation's head and demanded a bailout.
There is no "Free Market." The corporations you worship so don't want one.
Don't forget that Metro is an extension of "their iOS" into the desktop.
The name of the game for MS and Apple going forward is locking things down and walling things up.
A world of shit.
Probably higher, but that doesn't make them mutually exclusive.
