Amazon and Google both provide OS that derive Ad based revenues and you can't turn these off. With amazon you can pay a fee per device to get rid of the lock screen but they still are scooping your browsing to feed into other advertising and suggestions. These are *nix based operating systems. So why are you not bashing *nix, Amazon or Google, and saying there's no excuse for this.
And remember, kindle fires run *nix. So it was free software not Microsoft that went their first. Likewise ChromeOS forces you to have a google account just to log in or update so everything you browse is know to google. The ads you see on that browser are derived from your history. Again ChromeOS is *nix.
only apple seems to be the hold out on this. So it hardly seems fair to pillory microsoft for this, especially on Slashdot.
Kindles have always had two prices. The lower price with ads is the advertised price. You can pay a higher price for the one without ads on the lock screen.
from the article "This translates to 10000x lower power than existing Wi-Fi chipsets and 1000x lower power than Bluetooth LE and ZigBee."
The system works by remodulating the poweful carrier from a transmitter to shift it's frequency. Thus it doesn't need much power itself, it is just reflecting the power from a powerful source. The set the powerful source frequency just outside wifi channel frequncy and the reflected modulated signal is shiften inband. this lets an existing wi-fi receiver pick up the signal. Thus it works with conventional wiFi systems without them having to be aware they are communicating with a low power device. I believe it will require the addition of the high power transmitter of the carrier that is being passively reflected.
A Scottish military officer strolls into an apothecary shop. From the pouch hanging from his kilt he extracts a used condom and places it upon the counter.
The apothecary says, "Hoot man, Wat be this yur'er thrustin' befor me".
"T'is a used condom, sir, and I've come t' ask ye; hey much to replace it and hey much to repair it?"
"Aye," replies the apothecary, as he examines the condom. "T'would be six pence to replace it and thra' pence, heypenny to repair it."
"Thank ye" says the Scottish military officer as he picks up the used condom and puts it back into his pouch as he marches out of the shop.
The next morning the military officer returns to the apothecary shop. He reached onto his pouch, pulls out the used condom and tosses it onto the counter.
Yeah you noticed this too? What were they thinking? It's not an eternity but it really slows down what used to be a quick transaction when you buy a cup of coffee or something quick and easy. For you an extra thirty seconds might not matter but for the vendor it will add up. If they were doing 30 transactions an hour it will have an impact. Drive throughout aim for twice that.
Will they also be using a large green arrow so I can immediately get the software or movie I googled. Those are really helpful when they are mixed in with search results.
If women are selling products for lower cost it may be because this is right price to earn the most money. On e-bay commonly the lowest priced item is the dominant seller. For hihg volume sellers the e-bay fees can become fixed costs. As a result the more you sell the lower your overhead and the higher the profit margin. So women may be higher volume sellers, getting more revenue and likely more profits as well.
If I recall correctly, Opera was based on webkit. Webkit was originally a KDE project that got adopted into Safari and OSX (where it really took off). Then Chrome was built off webkit.
So if Vivaldi is built off chrome then it's still webkit derived like opera.
were down to edge, webkit variants, and firefox as actively developed engines.
Since all they do is copy other people's media, all they have to do is set up a china branch and keep doing what they always do. Side-effect: The foreign media will thus leak into china verbatim even though it wasn't originally published there.
1) you visit the iphone sales man and he offers you a choice of two envelopes which contain a trade in rebate for your phone.
2) he tells you one of the envelopes has a rebate 2 times bigger than the other one.
3) you pick one at random. And before you look inside he says you can switch if you want to.
If you think this though it's clear you should switch. Imagine there's $100 in the envelope. You had a fair choice so with 50-50 odds the other envelop has $50 or $200. The expected value of switching is the weighted odds of the payoff minus the cost of giving up the $100 you have now. That is to say 50%*$50 + 50%*$200 - 100%*$100 = $25
Thus clearly the expected benefit to switching is $25 dollars better than you have now. so you switch.
Now it doesn't really matter what the value in the envelope is. Maybe it wasn't $100. Even so whatever it is, the math says switch cause you gain 25% of whatever is in there. So you don't actually have to look in the envelope to want to switch. It's always a net expected gain to switch.
Now suppose you dind't look but after switching you do look inside and you see the $100. You now do the same math and clearly yyou should switch back for that $25 expected gain.
4) the salesman says sure, you can switch back, but there will be a $24 fee to do that. Even so, it's still a net expected gain of $1. So of course you will pay to switch.
5) you switch, and boo hoo, you see there's a $50 in there. Bad luck. But no worries. The sales man says he has another envelop that has either 25 or $100 in it and for th small fee of 12.50 he will let you try your luck......
is that google pretty much has to patent anything obvious that hasn't been patented yet (e.g. one-click buying) or some troll patents it ("voting--using a computer"). When google patents the digitally enabled iGloo it will come with a patent on method for wiping your ass without dropping your android in the portapotty.
Why use an M0? Does it really save power? For many IoT applications it's a race-to-quiescent that matters. That is you wake up, do something simple and shut down. The longer it takes you to do something the longer one uses power. SO in the end it's how much energy the task takes not how fast you do it. And up to a point, faster systems often have better not worse energy performance per task. This is in part because ancilliary systems have to be power up too while the CPU is powered up and partly because faster systems may be made from smaller transisitors or have better on-chip energy management.

How much would it cost to get a Linux ad placed there?
You could ask amazon? they use Linux to run their kindles which have ads. You could buy a Linux ad from amazon.

Well I was talking about major OS. Sure and some cell phones did this too. Amazon is a major OS provider.

This would be great for voting down stupid patents.

If that's the goal then why not just use non-volatile memory. Would that not save the same power without scrimping on quantity of memory?
It's the flatness and the lateral extensibility (wall paper sized) that are new for coded aperatures
