I work for A Very Large Retailer, and we've had all our laptops encrypted for years, as a Safe Harbor requirement, and a requirement of auditing by the payment card industry.
Good to know that government is catching up to where business has been half a decade ago.
No, because we're talking about $3.00 per device. Apple will eat it, and instead start building up other foundry companies to build the Ax SoC's and take the billion dollar business away from Samsung.
Typical case of small short term gain, big long term loss.
It may not be a racist comment, but it sure is an ignorant one.
And thanks for lumping me in with Romney supporters too. Never mind that I voted for Obama, in Hamilton County, Ohio - the swing county of the swing state that blocked Romney's chances.
What legacy? His single legislative achievement is a health care bill that nobody likes. Conservatives hate it for reasons too numerous to list here, and Liberals hate it because it isn't single-payer. And, even to get this bill that nobody likes, he had to spend all his political capital and give up the House of Representatives to the opposition party in the midterm election.
Let's not have Government spread out pork to campaign contributors, and let's not have Government buying all kinds of bombs and guns that they don't need. Now that's a compromise I think a lot of us can get behind.
Ok, I know you're a little slow, so I'll try to catch you up with the rest of us.
Mac Pros use CPUs that either have 4, or 6 cores per CPU. This is how they can have configurations of either 8 or 12 cores - by combining either two 4-core CPUs, or two 6-core CPUs.
Thus my comment that 6 is more than 4. I was talking about cores per CPU too, but you were too thick to catch on. What, did you think that they used 3 CPUs or something?
You do know that Intel makes a 6-core i7, right? Does that not count either?
Yes, but Asus doesn't build in the feature set that we require as an enterprise, where Lenovo puts it on everything in the ThinkPad line - things like Intel AMT and vPro that integrate with our management infrastructure. I haven't seen anything about the non-RT version of Asus's stuff, but I'm guessing it's still going to be consumer laptop parts in a tablet form factor.
We buy the "convertible" tablet PCs. Very few of them, but they do exist. They are stupidly expensive, bulky, heavy, clunky pieces of equipment which suck in every way in comparison to the non-tablet version of the same notebook for all tasks that they are not explicitly purchased to perform.
However, in those tasks which we purchase them for, the users love them. Here's to that form factor going the hell away in favor of something like the Asus Transformer, except with an Intel CPU and a real OS (Lenovo has something like this coming Real Soon Now(tm))
Or perhaps because they're trying to delete optical drives from their notebooks? In order to do that, and not just mandate everyone buys a USB drive (they won't), you have to have an alternative distribution model.
But I guess you can go all birther / moon landing / chemtrails / 9-11 truther conspiracy guy with it too.
There's a typo there - it should say that it will be installed on more devices. It won't be used on more devices than Windows.
It would be interesting to see statistics on how many Android devices actually get used as smartphones, or have any third-party apps installed on them whatsoever. I get the feeling that a lot of Android phones being activated are "free with contract" phones that don't get used as anything but phones with a big fancy color screen. I have no data to back this assertion, but I'd love to see some.
Well, this is the very first time, except for the Power Mac G4, Power Mac Cube, iBook, Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, iMac 3rd Gen until the aluminum ones, etc.
So basically this is the first live stream since like 2007. But keep on with checking those facts before stating them like 4 times in the summary!

Which you'll be able to install on like 5% of the Android devices out there!

Damn, that's odd that my "niche" Mac has been my primary office machine for about a decade now.

Apparently praying for people is now religious extremism. Good to know.
Who's got the extreme views here?
Can I have a third choice? Like "neither"?

Ahh, the old "They don't agree with the black guy, so they must be racist" chestnut.
You don't think that maybe they didn't like his policy decisions, do you?
I'm sure that skin color is why over 50 million people voted for the "not black guy".
Who's the racist again?
I haven't had to charge my phone twice in one day in over 5 years, when I moved away from a piece of crap Motorola Razr.
This might come as a huge shock: don't play games on your phone for hours at a time, and you don't burn the battery down.

Okay, Here's an i7 product with 6 cores.

And 6 is still greater than 4. Try going back to first grade math, asshat.
Your top of the line must be different than mine.
Everyone always says that Apple makes consumer electronics, yet they have a 12-core Mac Pro that they've been selling for 2+ years now...

I'll take a look though.
That's not this Surface. That's another Surface that is almost twice as expensive, and not available.

Any website properly using CSS will stretch the content portion, putting more onto each line of text. Less scrolling.

Yeah, that 1920x1080 barrier is really annoying. Can't wait to get higher resolution in a display.

Not only are they available, but they've been available for like 5 years or more. The poster is an idiot, and the editor is an idiot by proxy.

Sorry! These Monsanto(R) Wifi-Ready(tm) Hamsters are sterile and cannot reproduce. That will be $500 please!
The annoying alliteration in the headline makes me need to acquire an avalanche of aspirin.
