I'll take the free courses and be glad of it to see what passes for a masters in CS these days. I don't meet the prereq to pay them, but I would do that too if I could. I expect to be saddened by the depravity.
Reviewing the links now though I see no reference to Samsung, nor their multilayer developments that are a true departure from the traditional methods, nor product pipeline info. It's all "Crossbar". Also no reference to HP, who had some discovery in the memristor area. Maybe it's time to post a new article. When we see this theoretical stuff we usually think "a decade out, if ever."
Multilayer is a really big deal. One problem with Moore's law is that it has heretofore existed in flatland - dimensions X and Y. While FinFet and other methods have turned transistors on their side, technically moving two or three units into dimension Z that is not a real departure from flatland mode. Moving thousands or millions of units into dimension Z is a really, really big deal as X and Y begin to show problems with quantum effects.
Hat tip to you still AC: this is where the action is at and you've clearly got your eye on it.
I'm with the_B0fh here. Your sense of entitlement is remarkable. It isn't enough that Google provide you a free 15GB Email box with web and mail client access. You want them to pay a patent license to an unrelated third party just so you can access it your preferred way from your iPhone, or what, Outlook? A third party that uses that license money to attack Google. A third party that requires license usage reports that leak critical competitive data that will be used to track and attack Google.
You're entitled to this for why? What have you done for them?
I hate to see this discussion go entirely to the "wearout" issue. Clearly there are some posters here heavily invested in spinning disk. There are more exciting flash technologies in the pipeline.
Samsung has a new flash technology for the Enterprise called 3D V-NAND. By using 24 separate layers of flash on one chip they can keep the feature size up and still keep pace with storage density. They believe they can go to hundreds of layers. There is talk of a 384GB single chip for smartphones and tablets. Not Gbit, Gigabyte.
But no, go back and forth some more about wearout rates.
Virtualization really eats up the IOPs. Generally you see a huge increase in VM performance going with SSD backed storage. It's also great for heavy video editing.
"The brains behind Windows NT" - Dude, we all know that was Dave Cutler, who talked DEC out of creating the PC and then took DEC's VMS to Microsoft, barely filing the serial numbers off. Dave's still up in there somewhere giving his all, but he's reached his dotage. It was a prime steal though. I'll give you that.
What I said before notwithstanding OSD's effort to "cut off Google's air supply" budget runs to 2-4 Billiion dollars a year since 2005. The entire purpose of that loss-making budget is to "fucking kill Google". It's not working. In that time Google has grown from a relative nit to 1.5 times as large as Microsoft by market cap.
Lukovsky's statement said:
Prior to joining Google, I set up a meeting on or about November 11, 2004 with Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer to discuss my planned departure....At some point in the conversation Mr. Ballmer said: "Just tell me it's not Google." I told him it was Google.
At that point, Mr. Ballmer picked up a chair and threw it across the room hitting a table in his office. Mr. Ballmer then said: "Fucking Eric Schmidt is a fucking pussy. I'm going to fucking bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I'm going to fucking kill Google."....
Thereafter, Mr. Ballmer resumed trying to persuade me to stay....Among other things, Mr. Ballmer told me that "Google's not a real company. It's a house of cards."
Lukovsky left Microsoft in March this year.
Microsoft hides their anti-Google spend in various ways including moving it around between departments, moving it to corporate overhead, and moving it out to partners induced to fight Google from other budgets.
ActiveSync protocol is owned by Microsoft. They demand patent licensing for it. Once upon a time they thought their patent portfolio was proof against competitors in push email and calendars, especially in mobile. They thought this was their mobile "lock" that ensured mobile success and would prevent innovation to supplant them.
It turns out ActiveSync isn't really required to do push email and calendars. It can be done another way. So instead of demanding license fees for their patents Microsoft is put in the awkward position of begging that Android implement their proprietary protocols. And Andoid would, but they want a ridiculous fee for the patent license, so: fuck off.
Since Youtube is de-facto less than 25% of streaming video on the Internet claiming they are a monopoly would be a long stretch. You would have to filter to user-generated R-rated or less, free services, user generated content. At that point I think the court loses interest. Youtube has a monopoly on Youtube. That is not an antitrust problem any more than Bing has a monopoly on Bing.
Microsoft's problem here is not "embrace". It's that their partner understands the next two steps are "extend" and "extinguish". Google's opting out at the hug.
Agreed. Microsoft's CEO: "I'm going to fucking kill Google. I've done it before and I can do it again." Not much ambiguity there. Backed up by more than $16B in spend so far.
What I'm saying is that if the guy says "I'm going to fucking kill you" I don't let him in my house. Forgive the fuck out of me. I thought that was just fucking prudent.

Whoa. An AC with useful information and references? Who let you in here?
(No, I was not that AC.)
I prefer it on Chromecast. FullHD on the bigscreen is amazing.

The story is sworn testimony before the court upon penalty of perjury (5 years imprisonment).
I guess in your world Android is not a Linux.

I don't know what to say but: oh please. Steve Ballmer walks the halls of Redmond swinging a baseball bat. Do you want to deny that too?
Actually Google is saying something more like "kiss my ass you fucking monopolistic antihumanistic fuck". And I don't have a problem with that.

No, wait. I linked to that in my gggparent post. You just wanted to troll the text out of me, you naughty boy.

Somewhere between you and the mailserver is a patent holder, and a desire to exploit their intellectual property.
Microsoft hides their anti-Google spend in various ways including moving it around between departments, moving it to corporate overhead, and moving it out to partners induced to fight Google from other budgets.
I am an ass sometimes. Usually not, but in this instance, yes.
Non sequitur: you guys pulled out all the stops on this one. Nicely done on the incident response.

That is not an antitrust problem any more than Bing has a monopoly on Bing.
Actually that is a part of the legally documented court record. It is not open for debate. It is the sworn testimony of Marc Lukovsky
