All of those things are things that malware and crapware would immediately use to make your phone much, much worse. I'd like them too, but I can see why Apple would want to keep those things off their system to keep their users happier.
It's ending right now. Clock speeds have stalled years ago. Memories are running at crawl speeds compared to CPUs. We're just buying time by increasing parallelism now, but Amdhal's law is waiting around the corner to put a stop to that, too.
Low level optimization is far, far from gone. It's just what you need to optimize that has changed. CPU number crunching is no longer the bottleneck. Memory is, and drawing things on a screen is essentially mostly memory operations. And we have special hardware to handle this for us to try and relieve the bottlenecks, so now the optimizations is in how you use that hardware.
If you tried running a non-optimized CPU-only system on modern hardware, you'd go out of your mind because it was so sluggish.
Chips can't be radioactive if produced from material free of radioactive material.
No such materials exist. At least no such biological materials. Both potassium and carbon are naturally radioactive, and biological matter contains plenty of them.
Exactly. The second I saw that the accusers were bringing out ELA, I lost all reason to believe anything they were saying. ELA is almost completely random, and will show you whatever you want to see.
No, that analysis uses ELA, which is completely unreliable and not proof of anything, in any direction. Anybody who uses ELA as a proof has no idea what they are doing.
Actually, it might even have opposite effect - buyers might purchase cell phones that have a greater radiation level, with the assumption that more radiation means greater range.
This would be largely correct, and in fact would be a good choice, as the radiation is harmless.
Slashdot Mirror
He publicized information that was tagged as Top Secret.
Remind me again what classifying information as Top Secret has to do with democracy.
You do realize that what GPUs are doing in games like Crysis 3 is covering a polygon with smaller polygons?

Your claims here are beyond ridiculous. You'd have to be incredibly ignorant about to honestly believe any of that.
In a homogenous society like Japan
What the hell is that even supposed to mean, except for "I don't want to believe this"?
WHO has a "vested interest in downplaying serious problems" now?
What is quite hilarious though is that DRM something Apple support as they currently benefit from it.
And that is why the pushed the music industry to let them remove it. Yes, that makes perfect sense.
In-app purchases are the exact same thing as bitcoin.
No, not even close? Why would you even say that?
Nobody said that other people didn't have a use for it.
What was said was that they were laundering money.

Did you see where he put "(performance)" in there?
Well, guess what? All the numbers being discussed here are like that. Meaninglessly small. That was the entire point.

It's been proven a few times that dirty bombs are no real threat since they're just radioactive-packed conventional explosives
Why are you stating the definition of a dirty bomb as the proof that it is not a threat?
Analyzing jpeg artifacts is snake oil.

ELA is complete and utter garbage, and can not be used to show anything at all. It's like looking at tea leaves.
It probably does have simple onboard guidance. Lots of home-built RC quadcopters do, and I don't see any reason why a commercial one shouldn't.
Oh, right, I was off the internet for April 1st, so I missed that.
Man, remember when people cared about Eric S. Raymond?

Oh wow, good thing you notice! Those scientists are going to be so embarrassed when we tell them they missed that!
Check your timezone settings - you seem to have left them about ten years into the past.
Hint: They're lying.
