The whole article is written with the notion of a total replacement debugging/designing solution for all software.
It is really dealing with mechanical and human motion behaviours like inertial overshoot, path avoidances and realistic feedback to the operator rather than things like buffer overruns, atomic accesses and race conditions.
OS only sales! This has always been M$'s stronghold. Enterprise sales and system builder/upgrade sales still make a large base. M$ is still totally dominant on the desktop.
Bonus, it's not full of script-kiddie spyware that permeates 99.99% of websites these days!
One gripe is the broken zooming direction. When gripping a sheet of paper to pull it closer one pulls back toward oneself. Touchscreen actions are done in this fashion.
But instead, the scrollwheel action has been made more like dragging a slider of where you are on a larger sheet... except there is no slider - ruining the effect.
If the ads weren't so keen to get you clicking outside of the webpage being viewed maybe they'd be more palatable.
Less measurable distracting diversions and more subconscious directions would do wonders for the sales... even if it is only ever a correlation. TV has thrived on this method.
Let the consumer feel they are in control, not the other way around.
FPGA's are about addressability of combinations. The finer the grain the more configuration and potential interconnect is needed to achieve flexibility.
Conversely, the larger the blocks are the more capacity can be fitted but the less combinations possible.
The cool part is possible efficiency savings - assuming it can also beat SRAM for speed and thereby get used right in the heart of processors.
The new function is MRAM - good for DRAM replacement. I don't see it beating flash any time soon simply on the basis of density. But as a DRAM alternative it has real potential.
After that, the risky part becomes coming up with ways to design hardware that can't get in a lockup state. Because a power down won't rescue you any more than the reset button does. It'll give a whole new variety of bricks!
That brings us to CMOS. CMOS was claimed to basically be a no power draw static fabrication technology too. But over the years, as the tech got miniaturised more and more it eventually started leaking so much that, on average, the leakage dominates.
These new spintronic techs will prolly end up having the similar leakage issues at similar scales.
If you want to be a good netisen developer, and support those that don't want/care about personalisation, then how about making an effort to support scriptless browsing?
I've often wondered why a bias even exists. It'll be a positive feedback of some sort as per all dominant traits.
Is it just due to our preference for learning by copying each other, or maybe it's something like survival from combat because of where more of the vital organs are located?
Why handed at all? This is possibly a separate question, as in it's faster learning combinations one way than both. Which kind of leads back to the learning by copying thing...
The Mac has been completely PC hardware since the final step of using an x86 CPU in 2006. The same clone makers are pumping out the same equipment, architecturally wise, for Windoze and OSX.
Are we talking more about clearly unburdening and freeing up APIs/ABIs then?
Throw out all the junk science for a starters. Not much need for keeping a meticulous record of things that have long been proven wrong.
Presuambly what was included was one group of theories at the time but science has moved on, or, more accurately, science has been invented since the bible was written.
86% is your typical switch-mode efficiency. Some reach in to the low 90's with synchronous rectification but the main thing is that all chargers have to translate voltages, ie: Plug-in versions do the inductive voltage translation internally.
Using superconductors for the inductor windings would improve it.
Your wife asked one about what the solar were built from but the Panasonic dude didn't appear to understand. They need to understand their own products!
M$ would've had the leverage needed to crush any WWW that was based around a profit making company.
By the late 1990's everyone would've been posting on MSN. Yahoo would have been gobbled up in short order and Google would never have existed at all. Apple would've carried on dying in the corner and never even finished OS X....
It says 1 in 168000 for me so, I guess that's about 100 identical Linux setups detected; along with Firefox auto-deleting cookies and NoScript blocking both JS and flash.
On a Windoze box that would be 10x bigger pool again. Gonna have to do better to track me.

I'll be happy.

Misconduct is a very broad term.
I know I've been accused of being hard nosed and stirring plenty of times. Had the written warnings and the likes.
But I consider myself pretty honest, to the point of having loose lips.
Of course, fixing the broken websites would be helpful too.

Why does the quoted part not appear in the linked Guardian article?
It was on the local news last night. The FBI are confirmed to now have a copy of the personal HDDs.
It's causing a bit of a stink as it looks like the Police have done it illegally given they had previously agreed to return them first.

With TV sitcoms and "realities" taking the lions share.
I was yeah, right, sure, all the way through but when reading number five I burst out laughing. It kind of fits all the others together.
I'm sorry but they can keep their spyware. I'll stick with scriptless browsing.

... about sums it up.

Advise/history, when heeded, can remove that hammer for good.
Of course, words don't stop someone that just wants to be greedy.

Note: Not all TV shows are at 50 or 60 Hz. Some TV shows use the progressive encoding scheme that halves framerate.
The two fields of interlace are hijacked to form a single still image. It's a single image built from two passes. Hence the name "progressive".
They sacrifice framerate for the sales pitch. I don't know why though. Possibly to make the freeze-frame look better, dunno.
What more do you want? PDF works well as an e-document.

Great to see the strong emphasis on target hardware programming for a change. Shows what can be done when you throw away the bloat.
