a biased hack of an article...
1. although the comparison may not be exactly apples to apples it is
a. of comparable machines, the ATI mobility radeon Xpress 200 is not high end graphics (uses shared memory as well). granted it's obvious it is more capable than the intel graphics (when you see performance deltas of 100%s in graphics apps its usually not the CPU).
b. not "fiddling" since the specs for both machines were listed in detail.
2. "If they had compared a 25 watt system and a lower power graphics controller, the numbers would be down a lot" - down a lot? what does that mean exactly?
3. "adding that Turion-powered systems could have up to one-third less battery life than laptops running on Intel's ultra low voltage products". talk about apples to oranges: ULV vs standard mobiles. besides 2/3 of the battery life of a pentium M ULV notebook isnt so bad (notice he said 1/3 less NOT 1/3 of).
4. assumption that battery life stinks, although the absense of any battery life benchmarks is suspicious, it is hardly proof that it is poor.
having said that - like all other businesses, AMD undoubtebly tweaks benchmarks and results to attempt inflate the performance of their products. the article none the less is sensational bs.
By the way, the last thing the Palistinians want is peace. Their entire political and social system is built on hate for the Israelis the and goal of destruction of the State of Israel.
There is something truely perverse about sending your children out to blow themselves up.
your brilliant assessment of the situation and analysis of people's psyches is awe-inspiring. extreme poverty, homelessness, destruction, death predisposes (to put it mildly) people to hate and religious extrimism.
The war we are fighing now is against people who are obsessed with destroying our way of life. It is not a war for 'independence' or 'freedom.'
oh wow. the american propaganda machine of today really is impressive.
back on topic, im sure it was just a "glitch", a "bug" that the prominent edward kennedy was held up. just an unfortunate coincidence that one of the most vocal, left-leaning democrats in the senate was inconvenienced repeatedly. (although i concede, given the extensive beurocracy its not entirely impossible)
doesnt the pulsing blood flow "encourage" flexibility/elasticity of arterial walls? it seems that with a constant pressure the walls of the blood vessels may not be able stretch as well and perhaps be more prone to damage from pressure changes or perhaps rapid movement and whatnot.
at the same time i dont see why this device cant provide a pulsing blood flow, why not have it accellerate and decellerate at regular intervals roughly mimicking the behavior of a human heart. furthermore maybe you could connect a few nerves which would normally trigger heartbeats to accelerate the pump when needed.

either aucsmith is a complete buffoon or bbc fudged up. im leaning towards the former.
