Intel is announcing this processor at CES on january, but it's already being sold. I am in australia for the holidays, and just bought a i5-2300 sandy bridge with a gigabyte motherboard, 8 gigs ddr3 ram and ati 5770 for less than 750, which is to say cheap considering where i am.
The apps listed on the taskbar don't mean that they are on memory, just that they have been recently executed. Sadly, there is no visible way to know if the app is still on memory. iOS will automatically close programs when a new one request more memory than currently is available.
When hitting the home button twice and choosing a program, if it doesn't resume where you left it, it means that iOS closed it (or that the program doesn't support the multitasting API)
Hi, i see that you live in Perth, i am going there for christmas and would like to know what are the best computer stores, cellphone stores and such, can i contact you by email? I don't see a place in your profile to do that. My gmail address is fj-leon without the dash. Thanks
Who modded you up? You know it is BS when they trot out the iPhone. Please explain to me how the iPhone is at all innovative. It is a touchscreen smartphone. Not only had I seen those before, I'd seen lots of them.
Have you seen before a non-resistive touchscreen? How about with multitouch support? The smartphone market was well established when Apple came in. They may have done theirs better than some others, they may have presented it in a package more attractive to consumers but those are not innovations, those are good design and marketing.
UI design? Big 3.5 inch screen (at the time)? Appstore? Integration with itunes?
Unfortunately I think too many Apple fans drink the marketing kool-aid and think that everything Apple does is "innovative". They feel like that matters, for some reason, that somehow it isn't ok to but a product just because it is good and you like it.
I am not an iphone user, but i recognize its merits. Also, it made other companies step up their game.
Battery life is about 20% lower (1500mAh down to 1300 or so), and now it has to power a bigger,touch-capable screen. Doesn't look good for battery life.
Then the crack will consist of downloading a permanent copy of the game assets and making the client download them locally from a running server, fooling the game to think it is downloading it from the remote servers.
Except they aren't on cable anymore. Chavez created a law to make channels on cable "chain" themselves to political announcements (called "cadenas" or "chains") which can last several hours sometimes. The channel chose not to adhere to this law, therefore chavez made all cable operators remove the channel from the grid or risk being fined and/or closed
I didn't have any problems with them not being able to activate it, or not being able to determine that my account was eligible, or not being able to process my fucking perfectly valid credit card, or not allowing me to use a different card because it didn't have my middle initial on it...
You must be a very lucky fanboy because it was reported everywhere (including/.) that lots of people couldn't activate their phone because the activation servers were swamped in traffic.
Depends on who you ask. If you ask me, torrents not only clogs my connection regardless of upload/download speed so no one can browse the net, but are actually slower than most http/ftp downloads that support a few simultaneous connections.
That's why rapidshare et all are so popular. Besides, most people don't know what torrents are. You can't have them front and center to general users.
Not if actually Google's service is better or cheaper than the competition provides. But don't worry, Garmin and TomTom have offline access, works outside the US, and standalone devices can connect almost instantly while a cellphone takes sometimes up to 10 minutes to connect (especially if you don't have assisted gps with your cellphone provider)
He actually said he wasnt deserving of the prize. I guess refusing it would be kind of insulting to them. It would have been cool if the took the prize and gave it to someone he thought would be deserving.
This is very easy to block. You are thinking in the other way, how to make itunes detect the pre. Rather, they can validate more throughly how to confirm that it is actually an ipod. Very easy: just read the device's firmware. Of course, nothing stops Palm from reverse engineering this and play a cat and mouse game.

Sandy Bridge has been on sale in Australia for about two months.
I just got: i5 processor, gigabyte motherboard, 8 gigs ddr3 1333, ati radeon 5770, all for 740$

Some spanish boards were plagued with grammatical errors in order for the translation to work.
Examples:
"Lo traduce el texto" is wrong. It should be "Traduce el texto"
Reversal:
"Y lo va el otro direccion" is horrid. Should be "y va en la otra dirección" Although this is hard to translate without context.

The nokia N8 can handle lots of HSDPA bands just fine. Bold 9700 does a few, droid 2 global does more.
Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer , one of the first optical mice. Also, i still use a microsoft keyboard, bought in 1998. Go figure.

Theu have an offline installer but it is (was?) old and cannot update. This sucks, i have emailed them about it. Even IE can be downloaded.

Neither do phones really. When's the last time you saw a cell phone that ONLY did phone calls and text messages?
Every day. Just because they don't get much publicity, doesn't mean they don't exist. Even the first nokia phones came with the snake game though.
Your math doesn't change if you call the sizes KiB instead of KB, does it? And that's the point.
Nobody is saying that we should be using base 10 units in the computer world. We are only asking that it is named properly.
a few years ago you didn't need to: 1kb was 1024 byte. it was defined like that. why don't we define 2 as 1 and 1 as 2 next ?
Because it was wrong to do so. Kilo is a SI prefix and it denotes one thousand. It should mean that everywhere. This is a good decision.
They released him, but prohibited him from leaving the country. Source (Spanish)
That's because it's intentional, and more like:
Company: javascript/java/flash/silverlight are good enough for now, since we want to sell the devices while we have time to develop a native sdk!

Tell that to car manufacturers that have 2011 models already.

They are not going anywhere anytime soon.

Nobody buys games here anyway... You wouldn't either, if xbox 360 games are 250$ each. We instead go to our "local market" and get them for 15$
1) This is impossible for Apple to block.
