Imagine these two situations: 1) You pay $40/month for an unlimited 10Mbps connection, but can only get 10Mbps at 2-4am in the morning. Other times, because of high network usage, you get an unstable connection that goes 3-5Mbps, or even slower during peak times.
Imagine this. I pay $50 for 120/10 Mbit, but I can only... oh wait , I CAN saturate it 24/7 both ways (seeding torrents right now). No filters, no caps, no nanny internet censorship. This is in Europe of course.
Unless they come up with some actual evidence of real copying, this is a non-story. The #1 complaint around here all the time seems to be that Bing ISN'T giving the same results as Google so obviously that customer data isn't be weighted as important enough!
WTF didnt you read the story? Those results DIDNT EXIST anywhere. Google made them up, Bing COPIED them. MPAA would say Bing STOLE them.
Uh, what about those that don't HAVE good network access...
oh its easy - you dont get to play:P Assassin's Creed had cloud saves, didnt work too well for Ubisoft. There was a VERY NICE talk at last years Defcon about copy protection in games and publishers push for the Cloud integration.
Yesterday I decided to sign up for World of Tanks open beta. It took me 12 tries (including 3 failed sound ones) to fill reCAPTCHA correctly. Most of the time it just displays nonsense.
Almost certainly. They want to sell hardware, and being a full generation or more behind their competitors, have no reason to hold back any secrets of their implementation.
Google is trying to eliminate the fragmentation that everyone is complaining about, and also trying to reduce the crappy tablets out there giving Android a bad name.
That, or lack of GPU accelerated GUI realistically requires two cores to deliver smooth experience.
Yeah, no. They're making hand over fist licensing the Xbox platform to game publishers. They make money by selling virtually nothing. Who cares if they give the razor away?
They sank >$5B over the whole life of XBOX, and only recently started reporting >$100mil profit per quarter. Heh, Kinect alone cost them $600mil in failed experimentation (in the end they licensed third party technology, there is ZERO M$ technology in Kinect) plus another $500mil for advertising.
As interesting as a Kinect-style device for my PC sounds, it just ain't gonna work. You need a room about 4 times the size of my living room to use the things.
I want something that'll scan gestures from a chair position, not an across-the-room position.
I've been wondering lately what sort of discovery would we have to make to make travel to Mars a priority at NASA. I don't mean robotic probes. I mean a full fledged manned expedition
Derelict spaceship sticking out of Mars dunes. That would send a LOT of military money directly towards securing that find.
i remember the days when all the new cool tech was only seen in the government and large corporations first and then trickled down to us peons. these days with our rampant consumerism it's the opposite. we see cool stuff like this first and it's cheap and the big boys are now playing catch up because things move so fast
if it wasn't for our vane consumerism this would be a government project costing tens of millions of $$$ in R&D and the devices would be single use devices that also cost some ridiculous amount of money
Funny you say that as I remember big government financed project for English/Farsi translator costing million of dollars.
Google Goggles already does translations of pictures. Google Translate already turns voice English to voice Spanish. Word Lens sounds pretty cool, but it's really not that far ahead of other similar projects.
Let's put this to rest. You are a taxpayer in a state/city where there are 4 lanes of road going in and out of the heart of your city. During rush hour, congestion hits and it's go, stop, go stop. You and all the other citizens who pay taxes in the city/state complain that something must be done. 5 years later there are 6 lanes of traffic. Rush hour is still go, stop, go stop. See where I'm going here? This is a cyclical problem that has no solution.
I live in Poland (Europe) and I pay $20 for (10)5/1 Cable, Its 5Mbit during the day (peak hours), but goes up to 10Mbit between 24.00 and 12.00. I can saturate my upload and download 24/7. There wasnt a single situation where I couldnt saturate my connection to the internet. Whats more my provider offers $50 (120)60/6 connection, and from what I saw at my friends house it also can be saturated with no problem if the server you are connecting to has the capacity.

cut power, stop water , turn all the traffic lights red - you've seen the movies.
.....
So they are planning and worrying - as they should.
Look - the terrArtists want to turn off power. Quick! Lets use our emergency plan number one, turn it off ourself!
Uh, what about those that don't HAVE good network access...
oh its easy - you dont get to play :P

What's the big appeal of Sandy Bridge anyway ?
5GHz on Air cooling
Dont worry, Its not like they will connect this directly to Can Bus like BMW did .. oh wait.
That elevates it into a competing software distribution platform offering outside content, something the Android Market terms of service prohibits.
I predict Amazon marketplace will be blocked from Google marketplace :D
>while Google continues to support Flash.
The day youtube stops serving flash and requires WebM will be the day Flash dies.
against H.264 in MSIE, Opera
Opera never supported h.264, they are against software patents, shame as I likecd h.264 more than webMsomething :(

sure, just like GMA 500
Why oh why would Vodaphone give a DEALER the credentials necessary to access " ... the personal details of millions of customers ... "?
so the next time you enter small dealer he can offer you an upgrade to a more expensive service.

Now repeat for 20 minutes. What are you saying? Your arms are kinda tired? Well duh.
Yes, is almost like playing tennis - you have to swing hard with both of your arms every 2-4 seconds, NO ONE could do it.

Since when did people pay to infringe copyright? I thought the whole point was that you get the stuff for free anyway.
Stupid people do it all the time, Rapidshare is a good example.
Will quantum encryption be similarly trivial to crack?
"quantum encryption" is not an encryption per se, but a method of sending sensitive information

It doesn't require Internet connection.
Exactly, Unreal is now officially a console engine, nothing more.

I wonder if it dreams of android sheep?
Only if its Welsh.
