You make it sound as if WebOS is slow and bloated, which it clearly isn't. WebOS is built on top of Linux kernel and is specifically designed for use on devices with touchscreens. Android and WebOS are a much better alternative than windows7 for slate devices and OEMs seem to be realizing that now

Mods, the parent is bull-shitting. I own an Avatar blu-ray and the audio and video quality is outstanding. In the latimes interview, James Cameron even stated that he wanted to use all the available space in the disk just for the movie to ensure highest possible bit-rate
Does it have the memory I/O bandwidth to keep up with the CPUs? Yes When will I be able to actually buy a mother board with 8 of these 8 core CPUs When you move out of your parents garage.
- We know that the universe started expanding from a single point. - We also know that there are galaxies which are billions of light-years away from us. - This implies that the universe must have expanded faster than the speed of light after the big-bang explosion.
I cant wrap my head around that. How is faster than light expansion possible?
I have been using pwdhash for more than 2 years and I absolutely love it. It generates tough passwords based on the website URL and a master password. The password generation happens in *your* browser, there is no remote server holding your password. Absolutely safe. All you need to remember is a master password!
MythTv is great but linux GPU drivers for ATI/Intel/Nvidia suck. The last time I tried MythTv, I could not get hardware acceleration and GPU decoding for HD content (for mpeg2 and H264). I tried both the open source drivers and the binary blob but it just doesn't work. On windows, Nvidia has purevideo and ATI has avivo which work like charm. Play full-HD videos and CPU usage barely climbs up since GPU is doing all the hardwork, but on linux even my penryn based core2duo CPU started crapping out when playing HD content. I ultimately settled with Windows media center which coupled with DVRMStoolbox provides automatic commercial detection and skipping. It work for me.
Adobe is saying that the new 10.1 version will fully offload h264 decoding to the GPU. If that works as advertised, then it would solve lot of problems involving full screen video playback on websites like hulu and youtube.
They got rid "squirting" feature which Balmar was so proud of.
First, Microsoft has removed the "squirting" feature, which let you send songs directly from one Zune to another. This feature was supposed to be a big selling point of the first Zune but was crippled by unreasonable rights restrictions that let you play songs only three times or within three days (whichever came first). Microsoft and content owners gradually loosened those restrictions, but the feature never made much difference--mainly because there were so few Zune users out there to exchange songs with. (The "first man with a telephone" problem.) Now it's gone
What you are suggesting is good enough for SD content, but for HD you will need a new capture card that can digitize HD signal coming via component video cables (analog hole). Hauppauge HD-PVR does the job, but its expensive.
"Hauppauge's HD PVR that can redigitize the output of STBs for importing into a computer."
Widows7, sagetv, beyondtv and mythtv support HD-PVR. So either I will switch to HD-PVR, or install an antenna and pull the OTA signal. In anycase, I will not be paying compact for their crappy DVR

Palm really screwed up with their ads. They should have gone with this one instead http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOHh4OMM9V0

Which means no hulu.com, espn360.com or fancast.com. Somehow Mr. Jobs is touting this as a feature.
Wow, this is amazing. I didn't know it was even possible to capture such vivid pictures of the heavens without even using a telescope!

Hats off to you sir! Very thoughtful analysis. Thanks

Anus EEPEEECEEE did something similar few years back and we all know how well that went

We don't need to worry, since this guy has already figured out a better design http://patentlaw.typepad.com/patent/2006/02/pto_requests_mo.html

Jen-Hsun Huang is a certified clown who just a short while back was running around saying things like 'we will open a can of whoop-ass on Intel'.
What a dumbass ...

Hey, is this you Deepak Chopra? Now you have started trolling on Slashdot. Recession must have hit you badly I guess
So this is how the Nvidia CEO intended to open a can of whoop ass on Intel. What a dumb-ass...
WTF?
