They are not pushing for cleaner power. This is nothing more than another way to tax the people. A money grab. Who do you think will be paying this tax? The price of power will simply go up. We need to get rid of anyone that wants to raise taxes to grab more money.
A mobile phone is a throw away cheap device that is issed for two way communications with another person. A TV is something you watch from your recliner in the living room with a beer in your hand (or wine). The two should not have and will not have anything in common. This is just a stupid idea and anyone buying into this is just flushing money down the toilet (which also appears to be included in this phone).
No, not cool. In the end it will be like getting a Mini Cooper for the price of three. You overpay for data service on a wireless (hello Verizon and AT&T), and this "netbook" will be more sluggish than the Atom based crap out there.
bad science! There is a reason it is extinct and once this has happened nature will not be reversed. Whatever they come up with, will not be the original species. It is gone forever.
Let's break it down. For instructions sets like SSSE3, SSE4, etc. Intel designed bits to identify if these instructions are supported. All competitors comply with these bits. What they did do is: if the part isn't identified as "Genuine INTEL" the compiler stopped code optimizations. This is a provable fact.
The compiler identified the CPU and changed it's behavior to be unoptimized if not the "golden" part. This falsely caused publicly used benchmarks to show competitors parts to be slower.
Your are completely ideological incorrect in your statement. This should be "Corrupt liberal politicians hate freedom and truth". Both sides of the isle have their share of corruption. These politicians are liberal and that is where the corruption abounds. (They are also known as RINOs).
Try again. The label to use is "Liberals". They exist in both major parties (middle of the road is just as bad as extreme left). If you fail to understand facts as facts and [by modern usage of the word] theories as guesses, then you don't understand what is going on here. It is the liberals and socialists that are causing all of these problems. The people that fail to understand how things really are but only want thing to be theoretically perfect.
There is obviously a missing knowledge of human behavior here. People have an expectation of some level of privacy that is related to being modest (ie. clothing). When this is violated, a sense of mistrust ensues and this is what will harm Google if they are not careful.
This is one of the key reasons Linux is not mainstream for users (not us geeks but real users). The user does not want to learn how to do anything more on his computer than get is work done or enjoy the entertainment. User level documentation simple does not exist.
Since when were 400 jobs created with $42,000 or jobs created for $0 for that matter? The government information sites are so fraught with errors (intended or otherwise) that they are just more money wasted by the government to prove that it is corrupt and inept.
Nobody here seems to understand the difference between intelligence and wisdom. You can be the smartest person in the world but and have years of experience but, if you don't know what to do with that intelligence and experience, you are not wise.
The reason the providers lock the phone to their service (besides profit) is support. They only need to support one variation of the platform. More than that is way too costly. The end user in the U.S. wants support from one place not two.
If they didn't do this then the average (idiot) user would hear
"this is an issue with your device, contact the manafacturer"
and "it is your service provider that is causing your problem, contact them". When you want support, you don't want to chase around to get it.

It's no wonder that players don't want to buy the new titles. If it goes away in year, I don't want it. This makes me run from any EA game.
You must be watching AT&T Uverse.

Try a 12" Nano based netbook for Lenovo. It rung Designer with no problems.

I could not have said it better myself!
May I quote you on that?

This is exactly why I gave up on the linux solution to my HTPC. I just install the Windows softare and 'click' it works.
You are a typical "Linux user" not a typcial "computer user". There is a difference.

Or, It is just a bunch of scribbling designed to drive people who think they really know something about it, nuts.
Those web sites actually make CNN and MSNBC look reputable.

The company shouldn't be burdened with that either.
My neighbor did that and now he doesn't have any maintenance issues but he is broke.

C'mon now. Tell us what you really think.
Works great for one two three months but false apart after the first rainfall. Kind of the same way the clothes made in China last.
