iPhone 4 use the Cortex-A8, one generation behind the Cortex-A9. The GPU in Vita is SGX543, one generation ahead of iPhone 4's SGX535. Not particularly surprising since the iPhone 4 is about 1 and half year old. Incidentally, these are the cores that the Apple A5 uses, that sits in the iPad 2. Grantend, the CPU and GPU in Vita is quad core, and the iPad 2 is only dual core, but it's still the same generation. Give Apple a month or two to bring the iPhone 5 and the iPhone will be of the same generation as the Vita, and it will ship worldwide, at least a quarter or more before the Vita. Any questions?
As a Office with about 100 Macs a Mac server is a good and cheap way of getting many services. One neat feature is Spotlight as we have millions of files across 6 TB of data, that is automatically indexed and reachable within seconds. File Sharing, IM, print, VPN, DNS, Directory Services, NetBoot, NetRestore, Package deployment, Software Update server, Calendaring server, Address book server, iOS device management, roaming profiles, wiki, mail. We use it all, and its only 50 bucks.
If you value your time, it's a pretty sweet deal.
It is us as individuals that do all the innovating, not them, they just pick up our innovations and run away with them. They are leaches!
Yes! The app market was enormous before Apple's App Store. Those were the days, where armies of independent developers cold earn an honest living by making hordes of crazy innovative apps for cell phones.
Oh wait.. Those were not the days. There was no market to speak of before Apple's iPhone, and there were hardly no independent developers at all, since everyone who made any real money did commissioned work for carriers or cell phone makers.
Well.. it _is_ objectively stupid not to upgrade IE from v6, so it's already empirically proven that less intelligent people use it. You don't need this survey to prove that, and it's not even empirically proven by it, just statistically.
Here in Sweden we see a substantial move from wired (Cable and DSL) broadband to wireless (HSPA and LTE). There are great savings (logistically and money) to be made if you skip traditional (copper) telephony and go all cell phone. Many (most?) have smartphones with tethering and generous data plans, and the carriers are happy to sell you a companion dongle for your computer for just a little additional charge to the data plan.
I like the fact that the definitive guide is in its 6th edition.
It's just like the Windows Ultimate Edition.. it won't need any updates or upgrades. Ever again.
Or the movie Final Destination.. which got four sequels. Awesome.
There's a WORLD of difference between a dictating singularity making a "standard" and then hardly documenting it after the fact (you can include Google and WebM here too) and a small committe comprising four of the world's five implementors doing an openly documented iterative evolutionary development, while doing at least three different implementations in parallel.
This is obviously Apple's fault and it's inconceivable that it is a negative effect of the GPL since GPL cannot possibly have any. It's impossible to use any other OpenSource license that is compatible with the App Store, even if there are a multitude of such licenses.
It's not hypocracy to use open source for all it's benefits in development and deployment, while ignoring stuff that probably won't make any money. Making open source consumer software seems not to be good business practice. Or At least I've missed all the cash generating open and free software for end users that's out there. Yes I know that you can charge for stuff even if it's open source, but as I've said, I can hardly find any consumer oriented, end user stuff that uses this model.
Perhaps the open source crowds should learn to accept all the downsides to an open source business model. Sometimes you just can't have it all.
By 2012 IBM will have built at least two Blue Gene/Q systems capable of 20 and 10 Pflops each. The "Sequoia" at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and "Mira" at Argonne National Laboratory. There should be plenty of petascale supercomputers in a variety of configurations and architectures by 2012.
Can someone please tell me why sites and services like this are saving the passwords of their users, instead of saving some hashed version of them? As far as real life goes, encrypted passwords can be decrypted. Hashed passwords cannot be unhashed.
I'm not at all surprised that he believes that todays high end gaming rigs are one generation ahead of the consoles. They are four years old after all.. What a shocker. Pushing more pixels through a GPU doesn't constitute innovation though. What have Crytek done but yet another FPS? *yawn*

Well, think again. Apple's design patent is from 2004: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/08/13/apple_tablet_mac/
No, since Apple's design patent is from 2004. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/08/13/apple_tablet_mac/

I did, and two came up: Samsung Series 5 and Acer AC700. Both powered by an Intel Atom processor. Not ARM.

Apple stopped using SAMBA after SAMBA moved to GPL3 and Apple don't want to use such a license.

Nuff said!

If they had built such a detector, wouldn't they the charts be calibrated to about the expected amount of dark matter?
30 years? I do believe that radio communications are older than 30 years. Try about 100 years.
The Phenom II X3 is a four core processor with one core disabled due to manufacturing errors.
The AirPort Express cost $99 as do an Apple TV.
What about an uneven number, like the three core Xenon processor in Xbox 360?
Reality bites.
Please note that this is an app sold through the Mac App Store, not iOS App Store. Completely different beasts, so completely different rules apply.

10 Gbps over some new optical bus sounds like Light Peak to me.
