What's more, whoever wrote that article knows less than he claims to. For example, Thinking that 4k2k means "4K x 2K" and " is used in engineering (and the resolution supported by Youtube) and technical documents". All the while not even considering that 4kx2k would be a 2:1 aspect ratio, which is used by noone. 4k2k means 4k OR 2k, being images with a horizontal resolutiuon of 4000 and 2000 respectively.
Later on, he mentions "Not only that, the high speed cable is labelled as perfect for high definition games consoles.

The PS3 for one has been continuously updated from HDMI 1 at release, to it's current state of HDMI 1.4 (in order to output 3DHD).

For example, some may say economic incentives (e.g. Kyoto protocol) are GOING TOO FAR, others feel that regardless of whether climate change is anthropogenic or not that large scale geoengineering is the only viable method to even delay the atmospheric positive feedback process that is already underway.
Because air behaves differently at different speeds. Once you got fast enough, shockwaves become the limiting factor rather than fluid fraction. Then you have cavitation, and things like compression heating. What is most efficient at one speed is not most efficient at all speeds.
That assumes a single linear timeline. There's always the old 'many worlds' interpretation of Quantum mechanics, where every possible measurement of a quantum value results in the universe splitting into several universes, with the measurement having a different result in each. Time travel with a 'paradox' would then involve travelling back in time along one 'branch', then travelling forward back up another branch.
This of course causes some conservation of energy problems.

Doom killed the Amiga. Comanche killed the Amiga.
Both Doom and Comanche ran perfectly well on the Amiga.
And before that, it was one of many services that you simply called with any phone, and received a message with the name of the song (or a 'song not found' error).
Even more annoyingly, many laptop display chipsets are locked to certain EDID strings, preventing you from swapping out displays whilly-nilly. I'd love to take a cheap laptop and swap in a 15" 2048x1536 LCD for the best e-reader in the world, but even if said laptop contained a chip that can drive a display that large (i.e. not something made by Intel) the chance is pretty high that swapping out any display other than one of the same model will result in no output at all.
That's pretty much how I work too. If I'm googling the answer to something, I'll tab open a good number of results from several pages of google search results, THEN go through them and prune out and irrelevant ones and start reading the useful ones. If I find what I'm looking for right away, I lose maybe two seconds in hitting ctrl+w a few times to close the remaining tabs. If it takes me 5 different dispersed pages to find the information I need, I've saved a massive quantity of time over forward&backward-ing between each result and the google search page. And have the flexibility to use multiple search points, and to branch out searching into sites and forums.
I care, reloads of 100+ tabs at once takes ages.
And I wasn't complaining about stability, I was complimenting Firefox on surviving my massively excessive workload of long periods.
They also look like bits of it will impale bits of themselves through the bones of my now disjointed hand. Ergonomics isn't a bonus, it's a requirement!
Bookmarks require you to reload the page, and are just a list anyway, with limitations on linking to specific locations on a page. Remembering where a few hundred tabs are is pretty easy (remember a few key tabs, remember the others in relation to those key tabs, judicious use of the crtl+tab(+shift) shortcuts), far easier than trying to wrangle any of the various 'content organiser' programs I've tried into a useful tool. The organisation software installed in my own brain still beats any I've installed on my computer thus far.
Ah. I typically have 300-400+ tabs open in multiple windows, for easy of cross-referencing without going backward and forward or digging around in bookmarks and waiting for pages to load. Firefox will randomly lockup once very other week or so (sometimes twice in one day, sometimes it'll be fine for a month). Oddly enough, it's not usually flash that causes the lockup, and memory leakage has never been a problem (rarely tops a gigabyte).
I'll stick with my trusty MX Revolution. That no other manufacturer (Logitech included) has added that wonderful thumbwheel to their mice is a crying shame. Tabs through pages like nobody's business, with another two buttons right next to it.
I'd be surprised if it wasn't. You house generally doesn't move about all that much, so it's trivial to point a high-gain antenna towards the nearest mobile phone mast/strongest local reflection. You can even stick in on it's own mast to increase line-of-sight.
If you've got a black hole, just sit your telescope at it's gravitational focus and use IT as your lens. Of course you can do this with any massive body, the focal point is just much further away (the sun's is out in the Oort cloud), and you have to move evenfurther in or out to change the focal distance.
Without haptic feedback, motion control is a gimmick, plain and simple. With actual physical controls, you have instant feedback as to if you're performing the correct action to control an in-game effect. With non-haptic motion control, you have absolutely no way to know if you performed the correct control action until either the effect occurs in game, or you fail at the in-game task.

Nah, I'm more worried about 2068. Better get started on Cloudbase.

Or if the loss of your pet is that important, and making a poster is so simple, you could do it yourself, perhaps?

The dB drop when holding it is SIGNIFICANTLY higher than other phones.

Nope, he's just described a limited form of the commonly used image (and video) compression technique known as a Macroblock.
