Normally I'd agree, but there's nothing special in the Sony. The slab battery was a good idea when it was introduced many years ago. The hardware is weak (HD4400 GPU?) and 1920x1080 on a 13" monitor is stupid. They should market it with Beats headphones to make those Youtube videos sound better.
I was thinking more of a MBP13 with any i5 or i7, Iris Pro and an efficient 1366x768 LCD would be nice (1280x800 is current). TFA's new Sony only has HD Graphics 4400 and its 13" 1920×1080 LCD is completely useless to me.
I just wish Apple understood the value of a docking station.
The interesting thing will be what Apple chooses for the Mac Book Pro refresh. The Haswell Iris Pro is pretty darn close to the NV 650m in the current MBP and the NV 750M is probably only going to be about 40% faster than it. Not much point there. So either do without or build a MBP that can handle a hotter, more powerful card.
Amazon wants to have distribution centers in all markets with their own delivery system. The problem is, that makes them a local seller and obligates them to collect state sales tax, just like WalMart. Instituting a law that gives states the right to collect sales tax on internet sales keeps everyone else from undercutting them on price with shipped interstate sales.
That's not what is being presented. The idea is that the comet has a high concentration of the chemicals needed to create the more complex chemical building blocks of life when combined with the plentiful chemicals on earth at that time and a lot of heat and pressure. It's collision with the earth would provide that heat and pressure.
There is no supposition of life being transferred from one planet to another here. The resulting chemicals wouldn't be alive, they'd just exist in high concentration allowing "life" to happen more easily.
Sure my thought processes engage many acts of faith every day.
I will have faith that my life, your life, the universe around us and all of history weren't created by an omnipotent being at the end of the very post I'm typing now. But I won't be able to disprove it to you after the fact.
I have faith enough in the documentation of biologic processes to dismiss the idea that one can live only on water and meditation. I believe organs will fail and I will die when my body runs out of fuel.
I have faith that the process of scientific thought, where evidence builds on evidence and where doubt due to conflicting evidence challenges the existing models, is preferable a process of religious thought that prefers to discard evidence in order to preserve the existing model.
Anyways a supreme being is telling me that it wants to create the universe now...
If you feel the 7850 is needed then these will be too slow for you.
The GPU in the A10-5800 (the one currently on the shelves) is fairly accurately labeled a 6550d and requires settings to be turned down to Low@720p/1366x768 to get acceptable performance in a game like Battlefield3. The new APU is only incrementally more powerful and faster.
What these "APU" chips (which in my mind includes Haswell Chips) are obsoleting are the lowend budget cards with 64bitGDDR5 and 128bitDDR3 that get put in a lot of office desktops.
I wouldn't care if Deckard was or wasn't a replicant. But he was portrayed as much weaker, slower and affected by physical damage than the replicants he was hunting, He didn't need to be a replicant because he didn't do anything a 35 year old dude couldn't pull off and in the end just got lucky to survive.
Really it never occurred to me that he'd be a replicant. The replicants reacted to him as a human. The replicants easily kicked his ass in any kind of physical confrontation. Even Pris kicked his ass and only dies because she thinks an acrobatic routine is preferable to finishing her skull crushing thigh kata. Sean's character saves him from eye gouging. Rutger lets him go.
If Ford's character was a replicant, then he was a slow and weak replicant.
I didn't think that Buddhism was that big a religion in India. Never the less, Hinduism also strongly encourages vegetarian slanted diet. It's somewhat institutional but I'm rather surprised to see a figure as low as 30%.
They compared the 4770k to the A10. A10 was still faster in games. 4770K was faster in OpenCL
Tom's also said intel will have a faster integrated graphics setup (iris pro) but it will be exclusive to the BGA offerings and not offered on LGA1150 CPUs.
But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking glass; I, that am rudely stamped and want love’s majesty To strut before a wanton ambling nymph; I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion, Cheated of feature by dissembling nature, Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time Into this breathing world, scarce half made up, And that so lamely and unfashionable That dogs bark at me as I halt by them— Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass away the time, Unless to see my shadow in the sun And descant on mine own deformity.

All he's asking for is a decent keyboard on a relatively inexpensive small notebook.
The difference between a great keyboard and a fucktasticly shitty keyboard is about $50.

Support for 4K is native to the video output on intel's Haswell motherboards. I would hope Apple wouldn't be excluded from that.

I'm surprised they didn't lock down exclusive first distribution of the new CPUs like they have in the past. Otherwise it's all the same hardware.

It seems rather convoluted. The only reason I don't use a real OS on my tablet is the lack of hardware support.
SUPERMAN AGAIN
Oh there're lots of sequels.

They should make a move for every one of them.
Who cares. It was based on a shitty comic anyways. I'd rather watch an ironic portrayal of Aquaman by Adrian Grenier. That would be funny.

Wouldn't using a temp censor make the datacenter all smokey and add heat to it?

Yeah they only tested the power consumption of the new unlocked/enthusiast desktop CPU (4770k) with a 84W TDP.
Toward the beginning of the article they say that there will be a 35W i5 Haswell for socket 1150. No mention on specs tho'
It's not as bad as haters love to say it is. 0-60 in under 10 seconds in "power" mode puts it ahead of most fuel economy cars and ungimped sedans.
Hi, I'm Chris Hansen.
Why don't you have a seat right over there.
But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks,
Nor made to court an amorous looking glass;
I, that am rudely stamped and want love’s majesty
To strut before a wanton ambling nymph;
I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion,
Cheated of feature by dissembling nature,
Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time
Into this breathing world, scarce half made up,
And that so lamely and unfashionable
That dogs bark at me as I halt by them—
Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace,
Have no delight to pass away the time,
Unless to see my shadow in the sun
And descant on mine own deformity.
Sounds like the guy running Bitcoin should keep his anonymity?
