but if it's the last competitor and it'll become a monopoly it's a pretty big deal
I will be voting with my wallet - I clearly remember back in the 486 days when Intel had the monopoly and were charging more than $1000 for a processor chip, because they could. They were worth more per ounce than gold was at the time.
We need to maintain competition - Well done AMD, I hope your product lives up to expectations.
I think Hyrdo is a great power source. But nothing comes without trade-offs. I think most here are willing to trade off the things I listed above for the benefits of hydro.
Agree but...Fresh drinking water is and will always be the most precious commodity on this planet.
Trump is doing exactly what he said he would. He promised this during the campaign.
This is democracy I guess Looking from the outside, I am stunned at exactly how much power the president has. Why doesn't anything the president does have to be passed by the house of representatives?
This largely depends on how the survey was worded. I am all for developing alternative energy sources, but I am also realistic about how feasible and financially viable it is. Right now there are a few criteria that need to be met for US power needs:
1. The power must be economically competitive with existing sources. Current solar PV arrays are about on par with natural gas turbines. 2. Power available as it is needed 24/7/365. This is the difficulty that comes with solar PV, wind etc.
If tomorrow someone perfects the ultra high capacity liquid metal battery http://news.mit.edu/2016/batte... or some other way to efficiently store massive amounts of energy efficiently then solar and wind and other alternative power sources become grid wide viable options for baseline generation. As it is, no renewable power source works reliably when the sun goes down/wind randomly stops blowing. I have over 5kW of solar panels myself, because it made financial sense and paid for it'self within about 10 years.
Rather than spend $billions on the US war machine to ensure the reliable supply of oil to the country, the US government should be subsidizing the production of batteries to store solar energy. Batteries are the single biggest expense in providing a reliable supply of energy 24 hours a day. There is plenty of space in the desert to put up the solar arrays, on top of houses, factories, car parks. Solar panels are cheap now. Just need batteries to make it all work. You already have quality electric cars which are capable of replacing most peoples needs, all forms of heating cooling etc can be powered of electricity. There is not a lot stopping things except the cost.
I can see a few problems with this: I can see drivers approaching a red light looking at the display instead of looking at where they are going Jumping the red - knowing that it will be changing green soon - this will increase chance of collisions from people running the red the other way. Increase chance of pedestrians getting run over
We have such a system in Australia http://www.emergencyalert.gov.... The government and in particular the emergency services uses this to target people in a particular location to warn about impending dangers; Bushfires, floods, Cyclones etc. I could just see Mr Trump using this as his own twitter account.
Trump can want all he likes, if it is not going to be cheaper to produce apple products in the US, it is either not going to happen, or Trump will be subsidising the production to the tune of $2,000 per device.
Australia will be next if the ATO has any balls. Most Apple products manufactured in Asia are sold via Ireland where the price is inflated and Irish taxes paid. They pay tax on a single digit markup in Australia, meanwhile the product is shipped directly from China to Australia.
When the majority of cars are electric, and people (and society) depend on them, do you SERIOUSLY think electricity is going to stay cheap?
I don't think so. Purchasing solar panels has now become a cheaper way of producing your own electricity, combine this is batteries which are also getting cheaper, you will be able to produce your own electricity for just the cost of the solar emissions which has been the same price it has always been - free.

You should never spend more than 20% of you annual income on a car.
Where did that rule come from?
Comes from common sense!
Of course the banks/credit cards / car dealers want us to borrow everything we possibly can borrow so that we spend our whole life paying mostly the interest on the loan. The reality is called living within our means. Too many people are bought up to believe we can have anything we want.
and they save a whole whopping nickel off each unit. move a few million units and it's easily 100k+.
The savings are not on the cost of manufacture, the savings are in the warranty.
I used to work in a repair shop back in the days of walkmans, the single biggest repair job with these things, despite all the delicate electronics on-board, was re-soldering the headphone jack which had broken from the circuit board from all the tugging on the headphone lead.
There must be a significant cost to the manufacturer on repairing these items whilst they are under warranty.
It is not about controlling guns, but controlling who can own them. In Australia, guns can only be bought from a licensed dealer, every firearm is registered and you need a license to own a firearm. You need to pass a background check before you can get a license or buy a gun. The Orlando shooter would have never qualified to purchase a gun in Australia because of his domestic violence record.
SDC's will not need to park unless they are no longer need, like at night when most people are asleep. You won't own a SDC it will be a shared resource, it will drop you off at the shopping mall then immediately be available to pick someone up and take them home.
This really smacks of blatant consumerism, you must have the latest and greatest or you are a nobody.
I pride myself on getting the most out of my equipment, lets face it, the old stuff just goes into landfill.
Until Apple come up with a 100% recyclable computer, I think we all need to do our bit in saving this planet from being buried in waste.
Of course they will..
People will blindly follow an i-phone navigation system into the Murray Sunset National Park ( A sandy desert region with now water, no cell phone coverage and no help) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sci... because they selected the center of the region, not the town they were aiming for.
With potentially hundreds of gigabit capable devices connected to on tower, it will be interesting to see how the carriers deal with the backhaul requirements for the ever escalating demand on data.

Weren't you listening? The wall will cost America $0.00 because Mexico is going to pay for it. Geez... where have you been?
Yes they are paying for it - I believe Mexico are building the wall to keep Americans out of Mexico.
I'm guessing that Sergey Karjaki might be looking to seek asylum in another country if he doesn't win this competition.
Likewise, UFO sightings also dropped by over 93% now that virtually everyone is carrying a camera in their phone.
It is amazing what real evidence can do.

And when you replace all the workers with robots, who's going to buy your fast food?
The newly trained technicians who design, develop, install and maintain the robots will have the income to buy the fast food.
