And for that work, we'd need a way for the phone system to convey call priority. Both on the handset and on the backend systems. Easier said than done.
Too bad they're illegal devices. The FCC and cellular carriers don't take it very well when people use cell site jammers. If you're caught with one, you're looking at fines and potential jail time for disrupting essential services.
The HD4000 series isn't a newish card by any stretch of the imagination. Newish is the 5000 or 6000 series, and yes, AMD's Linux support has always been pathetic at best.
How is it a GPU die off? nVidia's still making GPUs and they're still routinely putting AMD in their place, especially in the extreme high-end and for workstations.
Here's to hoping that this marks the beginning of the end for Zynga. It's about time some of these rubbish games got shuttered and dismantled. Perhaps without these games, their players will actually leave the house and not be social cripples.
It's also an exceedingly annoying part of the OS. Moreso if you're running it on a laptop. If Microsoft made it officially possibly to turn off UX, made it an opt-out during initial setup, you'd end up seeing more and more upgrades being activated.
So you think that you've the right to re-sell a wholly digital license for something you've purchased? Even when nearly all of the licensing agreements attached to these things state they're non-transferable. You've got to understand that by agreeing to said license, you waive those rights. They're not infringing upon anything, you're willingly giving them up. If you're going to oppose something, at least get your facts straight. You have no right to resell Steam games by virtue of the license you buy and the SLA attached to Steam, which must be agreed to when Valve updates it. Agreeing to that license is a willful act, remember that the next time you buy digital goods and read what you're agreeing to in the first place.
I see Apple once more under the effects of a court order related to this. Here's to hoping there's a sizable fine on the next order. If Apple's going to be that childish, they deserve to be slapped around a bit more.
Given how AMD's turned out over the last decade, I don't hold out much hope for AMD being able to hold their own in the ARM market. They may have beaten Intel to ARM, but AMD is a weak little fish swimming into the sharks. What AMD lacks is the ability to research, develop, and fabricate. They've been ridding themselves of the ability to function as a CPU manufacturer for the last 5 years, and you expect them to stay alive among competitors that aren't dependent on others to fabricate their hardware? That's a laugh.
Leaving my Wifi open somehow encouraging privacy? Is the EFF doing lines of koolaid they forgot to drink or something? How is it encouraging privacy to open my network to the world. If anything, that sounds more like I'd be losing my privacy, not getting more of it. I encrypt my network to encourage and promote my privacy.
If you're looking at cosmetics alone, Unity looks more like MacOS X than it does Windows. But feel free to compare screenshots of Ubuntu 12.10, Mint 13, and Windows XP or Vista or 7. You'll see Mint impersonating Windows far more than Ubuntu does.
Ubuntu doesn't look a whole lot like Windows. If you're looking for a distro that does look very much like Windows, take a look at Mint. If it wasn't for the icons and a few minor retails, they're very similar.
AMD remains alive for two reasons. Graphics cards, which are frankly the only thing keeping AMD afloat at this point, and Intel's sufferance. Intel allows AMD to limp along because they know they'd fact Anti-Trust if they were to just go forward and acquire/liquidate them. The ARM market is quite a bit more crowded and the players in it would have no such restrictions against gobbling up a much smaller company.
AMD can't even keep up with a single competitor, so just how are they going to compete against 3+ vastly more nimble companies in the ARM space. AMD is making yet another last gasp at trying to stay relevant.

Yes, but since when is a police officer truly ever off duty? Having a few friends in law enforcement, I can tell you that the answer is 'never'.
Smartphones already are guilty of this, so how is it really any different than what's going on currently?

Probably because they're illegal devices.

All the more reason to avoid any notebook marketed for gaming, reguardless of the GPU vendor.

AMD has it's share of defective units rolling off the line. Every hardware maker does, it's an unavoidable fact of the industry.
How is it a GPU die off? nVidia's still making GPUs and they're still routinely putting AMD in their place, especially in the extreme high-end and for workstations.
Because this should have been done 9 months ago. Leave it to AMD to once again just drop the ball. At least they're consistent at failing.

This was probably written by lawyers, the masters of weasel words. Did you expect anything less?
They may say they're committed, but let's hope they put their money where their mouth is the next time a machine they really want comes to market.
It's not taking them away, it's you giving them up.

At least it's better than Dubstep.

Given how AMD has mismanaged itself into it's current state against Intel, are you sure that competition in the ARM market is inherently weaker?
