That's not necessarily true. The Adreno 225 in the current Krait is slower than the 320 that'll be coming later in the year but it still trades benchmarks with Tegra3 in graphics tests.
Notably, the GLbenchmark offscreen test where the Tegra3 wins the most by, has a severe bug somewhere.
The two biggest power draws are the screen and radios. This is what needs to be made more efficient.
With proper GUI design and AMOLED screens, the screen power draw can be drastically reduced but things like the 3G radio drain power like mad if the signal isn't perfectly strong (while 4G radios gobble power under all circumstances).
Or rather, shit happens and the designs work better than they were engineered for.
The reactors, built 40 years ago, using an old less safe design, engineered for 8.0 earthquakes, survived a 9.0 (it was upgraded) earthquake and a tsunami as well as a hydrogen explosion of the outer building with the all-important containment building still completely intact.
If people were sane and less reactionary, this is actually quite the demonstration of how incredibly resilient it all was.
Okay, turns out I'm a moron and you're right. Didn't go past rooting and seeing that CM isn't available after all. Strange though since the Nexus S does give them what they need.
Pretty much every single factor you mentioned about Opera is also true of Firefox. You'd need to "optimize" Firefox as well if you decide to run a bench against an "optimized" Opera.
Unfortunately, the way Chrome is designed doesn't yet allow for the adblocking the way it's done in Firefox. If there were a malicious ad, it's still rendered then removed from view with the Chrome solution for instance.
Not to mention the capability to use the extension Tree Style Tabs. This alone would keep me on Firefox let alone how it also has things like Noscript (while Opera has per site javascript settings, it's not even close to the finegrain control Noscript provides in a simple manner).
The theory is that only as much as needed is removed. You start with the ones that are hardest to perceive and start to reduce those first before moving to the stuff that's easier to hear.
The obvious consequence of this is that when you remove too much you lose what's perceptible and the ultimate end would be just the plain sine-wave as you say. Fortunately for many sorts of sound, you have enough bandwidth at 128kbps to handle the sound reasonably. It is still insufficient for a great deal of other sounds though.
Overtones that don't happen with music and sound that we listen to and can hear. So what's your point? That a sound that people can't hear isn't encoded?
Oh no, all the pitches about 22KHz isn't encoded! I'm losing INFINITE information here. What a bloody useless codec.
eSATA stands for External SATA and is indeed a competitor to Firewire and USB for external hard drives. The current specification doesn't include a source of power though so eSATA is only good for speed. The next revision is supposed to have power too.
That would imply a entire universe subset that isn't available to our senses nor even hinted on the possibility of how we could even potentially sense.
If true, then they wouldn't matter since we wouldn't be able to interact anyway.
Have you through about creating a new profile for Firefox and checking which of your addons are causing the leaks?
A truly clean copy of FF2 doesn't leak that much and FF3 even less. At least, whenever I followed the instructions of people complaining about leaks on a clean copy that's the case. The leaks has thus far been minimal.
Post the tabs that you use at once and the way you use them. I've always wondered which sites caused that much leaking.

Agree 100%

Considering that Galaxy S is a family of phones rather than just single phone:

Ever since the Nexus S came out, everything needed for Cyanogenmod was available.
Interestingly enough, Google puts the answer right on top if you do that. It even corrects you with Ecuador.
I'm pretty sure relativity doesn't work that way.
Of course it's not erased by a factory reset; the images are saved on the external memory card (microsd)
I'd be really concerned if it WERE erased
Have you ever considered using a new profile and examining which plugins you use? Because a clean install of FF3.6 certainly won't do that.

I'm curious as to which version you're using, whether you used a clean profile, and which plugins you're using.
My own testing of Firefox doesn't ever show the massive memory leaks often claimed.
Interestingly enough, my resolution changing screen in the win7 PUBLIC beta doesn't look like that: http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/6215/resolution7ak4.png
With that said, Microsoft has somehow made the new Windows Explorer even more annoying.
Haha. Windows XP's minimum requirement is 64MB of RAM. Try running XP on that and you'll see the same "molasses" issue.
The release candidates ran fairly well. But the betas (especially Beta 1) didn't fair as well.

What on earth? How are those overly shiny objects beautiful in any way?
The technology is probably better than that but the actual screenshots are distinctly ugly for this day and age.

That reminds me. Add Wikipedia into the search box and set it as default.
Now you can just press ctrl+k and type a term and press enter.

Have you thought about substituting "en" with "wi" for "wiki"? Do it a couple of times and wikipedia will be the top of the list.
If you ask me, "wi" is better associated with "wikipedia" than "en" is.
Well, it went from Core, to Core 2. I'd presume these new chips would get the "Core 3" moniker.
