Why not offer customers an alternative that has better performance instead of risking the lose of those customers to another vendor that does
Better performance, hmmm, this statement kind of makes me think we have an AMD fanboy on our hands. I think we all know that those "perfomance tests" are inflated and really don't tell you much about how the processor is actually going to perform. Intel has HT while AMD has 64 bit addressing, both seem to do well under certain circumstances, but I wouldn't say one is clearly better than the other.
Is this the same "Dual Core" that will be featured in the XBox? If so I wonder what percentage of the "millions" of chips anticipated to ship will go into the XBox 360 or whatever its called.
They were talking about this on NPR yesterday, but instead of "critical mass" they called it market saturation. Thats why Apple's stock took a dump yesterday
Problem for apple is that everyone already has an ipod and it will be tough to find new people to sell to.
As a regular user of gamefaqs, I can say that the site is going to shit. The moderators are out of control, you can't post a god damn thing there anymore without getting marked up for trolling, then you look at what actually made it and its a bunch of worthless, retarded threads like "who would win - sam fisher or solid snake?". </rant>
when your data gets stolen at lexis-nexis, you know your screwed. With the amount of data that place has on people its only a matter of time before bad shit starts happening to these guys.
Seriously though, I imagine well be seeing all these features in windows in a couple years. Pretty sad that I can't name a single feature in XP that comes close to any of these.

Today we salute you Mr. Aaron Patterson
(Mr. Aaron Patterson)
Where would this world be without you and your innovations like typing www.en.wikkipedia.org into your address bar and copying virtually every feature off of it.
(Mr Copycat)
Thanks you for giving us the brilliant new features of user contributions and a clean fresh design just like www.en.wikkipedia.org.
(Who do you think you're fooling?)
Few men are brave enough to steal an idea and call it their own, but you have no problem posting about it on your blog.
(Look at ME!)
So crack open an ice cold Bud Light Mr Aaron Patterson
You have high standands when it come to the online encyclopedia industry, and intelectual property

This seems awfully complicated to hook your PC into your computer. I have an ATI All in wonder video card that took about 5 mins to install, cost maybe 100 dollars more and has most of the functionality that this guy's setup has.
Why? Because it didn't place a team in a coding competition? I wouldn't judge a countries technical ability based on something as abstract as this.
I havent read the article due to slashdotting but something like a programming competition seems very odd. I'm not sure how you could objectively measure something like this, and even if you could; as a programmer I can say that the most important quality to have is imagination or innovation, not the ability to sling the technically best code.
Most of the software will either not run or will display a blue screen of death during installation of the software or when you start up your computer.
I'm at work (win2k) but if i remember correctly all you have to do to fix most of the problems is enable the program to make rpc calls or shut down the firewall that comes w/ sp2.
If you read the KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875357/To unblock the program, click Unblock this program in the Security Alert dialog box, and then click OK. Sounds like most users can handle that.
Not sure about the BSOD, that sounds like shitty code to me.
On multitasking and multithreaded apps, they will shine like the sun, but how many of these are there? How many times do you encode a movie while typing a document, zipping your C drive, doing some heavy CFD work all while listening to a few MP3s?
Correct me if im wrong but isn't multithreading/multitasking pretty damn important considering all the background tasks/services that are needed just to keep an OS running?
I'm worried, though, what happens if Microsoft "wins" the market.
Yeah, because, you know Sony is so much better. I love it how I have to wait a year or so to get GTA, GOW etc... because of the non-compete bullshit they slip in with these game developers.

God dammit, here come the -1 redundant mods.

WTF? Theres a thousand god damn javascript errors on that page. Informative though.

Now let me get back to my Bonzai Buddy.
Is it really necessary to post a story on the front page everytime a new city thinks about going "wireless"? Must be a slow news day or something.

Yeah, supposedly that's why there wont be backwards comapatablity. Nvidia made the graphics card for the 1st xbox, and now they are out.
Why would indians want to get mixed up with the Chinese? Seems like this would jeopordize their lucrative Casino businesses.

Over the next decade, JAXA's plan calls for scientists to develop robots and nanotechnology for surveys of the moon
I thought Nanotech was still in its infancy. What are they going to do, dump a bunch of buckyballs in a crater?

That they are actually pro-open source to save face for developers when in reality open source has virtually destroyed them (Linux).

Yeah, but the article said he used random letters and numbers.
