    Really, you didn't even need to RTFA, the first photo shows it.

    Of course I didn't. If I had done so I wouldn't point out how it was written in the summary (and more or less question whatever that was true or not.)

    Regardless I don't care much whatever iMacs are built in China, the U.S.A. or some other country in North or South America.

    If they are built in the U.S. it just show how much China has progressed and the U.S. reverted.

    I saw why poverty the last episode this evening/early night on Swedish television.

    That's the one about the U.S. and how the 400 richest got more than half the wealth...

    Yay. Way to go voting on the people they rule the most (but they will rule all so whatever, money talks.)

    Smart to vote for tax cuts like you are among the winning group.

    Save some on the poorest 10% or whatever who more or less got nothing, in reality compared to the big picture cost nothing and make no difference while allowing the rich to get richer.

    It's not like those 400 people could do well with 90% of their wealth? .. Much easier than to get more than 10% from everyone else considering they've got so little and will notice for things used in real life.

    People are so damn fooled by the money printing to. If they compared the value of their dollars at the pump, gold or even to our SEK they would notice their salaries had droped a lot. If they also take a look at the price of gold, stocks or similar they would also notice that people who got money and not only in their wallet are doing quite well. Thank you for the bailout.

    Yeah.. Need to save the banks because? ... If not wealth saved in them would get lost? And who's got the wealth? Relatively?

    (I don't really know how it should be solved. A reset of debt will be unfair (but of course hit the rich the most, but they will likely know about it in advance and protect themselves anyway..) High taxes or straight out robbery (from the government or people) and the money and people move. I like the talk about promises of the benefit of globalisation but how it's mostly let money move freely and not people. As in the people who have the most money and companies can take advantage of it to get more and have people under-cut themselves (already suggested in the U.S. to. Look at the state taxes. Compare that to a world where taxes increase globaly instead up to a western level) but the poor workers aren't allowed to move and take a job in a country with better salaries.)

    These last 5+ years has been crazy. I guess it became much worse during the Bush era. The poor and middle class was royalty fucked. Enjoy. It's not like you're likely to get it all back :/

    So where did the domestically part come from in the first place?

    What says it's made in the U.S.A.?

    There's plenty of countries and likely cheaper workforce in America. Some may be cheaper than that in China.

    (I read Caterpillar hired people very cheaply in the US though.)

    Not only that. I read something like that consumer preference over even colored red tomatoes has lead to people trying to grow those. But the thing was that some thing which developed sugars also was green so by picking even red tomatoes you removed the varying darker appearance / green lines / whatever and at the same time the tastier treats of those tomatoes.

    Sorry, I'm out of the loop. What's bad about DDR3?

    In this case the only thing I wanted to point out was that it wasn't "commodity" as in "same as in a PC" as in "DDR."

    And consoles use to have weird exotic RAM. The PS3 for instance use XDR has evolved from RAMBUS RDRAM rather than DDR.

    GDDR3 is common on graphics cards but not as system RAM.

    AFAIK the D and hence Double in DDR mean that it can transfer data twice / clock cycle. The DDR3 seem to mean the clock is quadrubled (can I assume DDR2 is doubled?) and DDR (DDR3 to) is 64-bit wide.

    http://solidlystated.com/hardware/difference-between-gddr-and-ddr/
    says dual-channel (DDR) gives a 128 bit bus but that GDDR is commonly used with 4-8 channels for a 256-512 bit bus. But I guess that mean they are the same there?

    Regardless GDDR supposedly can both write and read on the same clock cycle and consume less power.

    That was hard.

    GDDR3 is common, it's the XDR which is the more exotic one in this case.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XDR_DRAM
    "XDR DRAM or extreme data rate dynamic random-access memory is a high-performance RAM interface and successor to the Rambus RDRAM it is based on, competing with the rival DDR2 SDRAM and GDDR4 technology. XDR was designed to be effective in small, high-bandwidth consumer systems, high-performance memory applications, and high-end GPUs. It eliminates the unusually high latency problems that plagued early forms of RDRAM. Also, XDR DRAM has heavy emphasis on per-pin bandwidth, which can benefit further cost control on PCB production."

    I suppose it has advantages such as you don't need to move data from one of the memories to the other one, you can use RAM where it's needed rather than what's available (since it's not separated) and you don't need to hold the same memory content twice in different memories.
