This is why this phenomenon has never interested me. I mean really? A bad shaky out of focus version of a movie that I will be able to see on NetFlix in less than 6 months? Sure...
working with Intel to produce processors that can run at higher clockrates than off-the-shelf gear.
What does this mean? They have custom chips? Custom mods at the chip fab level? Or are they taking advantage of designed-in features that are locked out for normal chip users? Are they simply over-clocking? Or are there features that can be unlocked with money?
I want it to make my work easier so I can have more time to play classic atari games
One step at a time. This is just the beginning of "real" computer AI iRobot ( or Robot & Frank ) style. Sure, this seems a trivial application, who needs it. But you have to start someplace, and game decision making is a good place for many reasons.
Technically, humanity probably could colonize Mars already. It would be expensive and unpleasant, but lots of things that have advanced humanity were expensive and unpleasant at first.
How does colonizing Mars advance humanity? Perhaps we might mines some natural resources, but certainly we will never have populations of families there.
Beyond simply telling that stuff has been tampered with or invented wholesale, I'm really worried this is going to lead to a loss of credibility and gravitas of photos and videos of historic events.
It's going to get ugly when generations start denying and rewriting history because they lost trust and belief in the credibility of the medium used to preserve its records.
Perhaps we should re-embrace film. Sure, you can do almost the same thing with film, the Three Letter Agencies, both United States and the Communists did it on a regular basis, but it's a bit harder than in PhotoShop.
As an owner of this phone says below, it's warranty semantics:
gweilo8888: I know because I've used it underwater multiple times without the slightest ill effect. This is warranty semantics, nothing more or less.
...and...
willworkforbeer: Ads for trucks often show warranty-voiding off road activities. It's not CGI, the trucks will DO the stuff in the ad, but you're probably SOT (Spot Outta Truck) when you break it that way.
Been going on since advertising was invented. And if you honestly looked at this phone and said "now I can take my phone snorkling", well, that's a problem at your end.
Look, we all know that marketing materials are fluff, and should not be relied upon when buying or using a piece of equipment. It seems fairly obvious to me that by "water proof" they mean "water resistant" and they make it clear that it is not designed for dedicated underwater use such as a GoPro-like device. But you can probably still drop it in your toilet and it will work after being fished out.
Yes, a harmless rocket scientist hounded by the imperialist Americans:
Qian rose through Party ranks to become a Central Committee member. He became associated with the Gang of Four in the 1970s by joining in its attacks on rivals: he dubbed Deng Xiaoping "the sworn enemy of all scientific workers" and also denounced his superior, Zhang Aiping. He supported the government's crushing of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 and condemned the Falun Gong movement after the central government initiated a crackdown in 1999. Qian was known as the father of the Chinese missile program with the construction of China's Dongfeng ballistic missiles and the Long March space rockets.
Lee pled down to fairly light charges, with 50 or so completely dismissed. Lee was awarded a $1.6 million settlement from the U.S. federal government and several news organizations for privacy violations. I guess the government just passes out money to suspected Chinese spies?
Ink, and the price of ink has ALWAYS been the money maker for "printer manufacturers" - ink companies. Laser is a better deal, but there is still a ton of powder left when the *computer chip" says you have reached 5000 copies. It's all a scam, both ink and toner.
These companies realized that building and marketing well engineered printers was not paying the CEO's 50 million a year contract (and bonuses), and so they had to rethink the sales equation. I have a relationship with a third party cartrage re-filler who refills my laser cartridges and charges me for the powder they put in and a small service fee. They tell me that they sometimes can reprogram the cartage chip, but more often just replace it with a doppelganger.
...a coworker pointed out that this new search engine "Google" was much better for finding academic papers. At that time, Google was excellent for academic papers, but useless for most other things.
My how times have changed. Not that I can obtain academic papers without paying through the... nose... anyway.
The article says "URLs" when the Quora post, cited as the source, says LINKS. Also the article is basically devoid of any information, other than "Google did better because it used LINKS to help determine ranking." Thanks for the headline, with a summary, linking to an article that misquotes the linked source, that has a healine worth of information. No really, thanks.
It's a paid-for "article" to a ad-infested link-farm.

But is there an RPM for it?

You fail to address the question. We are not talking about the board or chipset. The quote was specific:
working with Intel to produce processors that can run at higher clockrates than off-the-shelf gear.
We are talking specifically about the CPU. Is it "custom"? Or is it just a high-end "overclocked" chip that I could buy if I had the cash?

What does this mean? They have custom chips? Custom mods at the chip fab level? Or are they taking advantage of designed-in features that are locked out for normal chip users? Are they simply over-clocking? Or are there features that can be unlocked with money?

Kind of smells like a raw roast you left out before you went on vacation.
I was a Fire Fighter for 12 years before moving on, seen and smelled a few dead bodies, rotting flesh is rotting flesh.
And if you have lived on a farm and had to deal with dead cows... Same thing.
The flies... OH MAN THE FLIES...

I love it when sales folks write checks that their ass's can't cash.
What does that even mean?
The Stupid Prank Du Jour these days is often a pressure cooker inside a backpack left some place.

I would say it's a good strategy to make money in a shark pool.
to bottom-feeders that spend all their time collecting a few bucks playing several nickel-ante games at once
How is that cheating?
They show someone taking a photo with it underwater in a pool and it really cant?
They never said it can't, they said you shouldn't. Big difference.
Again, refer to truck commercials.

Nothing to see here.

Yes, well, you don't lie on security clearance paperwork.
LOL! Most people will not get your reference!

Nope, as a map nut I just thought it was an interesting story with interesting ideas to people who work with maps, UIs, those sorts of things.
