If it was news you'd see it on Carver Media first. We saw this attack used in 1997 to start open hostilities between China and Britain. Luckily we had a man in the area and he managed to stop it before anybody went nuclear.
I feel ya brother. I've bought all the Humble Bundles so far, always paying above the average, but my support of this enterprise has dried up. Heck, I never played the games anyway -- just wanted to show support and get more Linux games out there.
You did the right thing, the initial plan was awesome, and Humble Bundle was kick-ass until today. We can't begrudge those devs we supported in the pre-sellout days. And, they did a few good bucks for charity. Those memories of good times remain.
1. Of course it will, when all screens are comfortably small or when human arms become long enough that fiddling with 30"+ screens makes sense.
2. absolutely, provided you have small pointy fingers or don't do spreadsheets, photo or video editing or touchups, or basically anything other than porn.
To continue your anaclitic line of raisining, we can conclude that the real determinating factoroid in "matting success" in humanisms is probably the amount of hair.
I expect the Nexus 4 will "steal" (in Apple's mind, anyway) quite a few sales from the i5. Probably quite a few from GS3 and Note2 as well. It will be interesting to compare December sales of all these smartphones.
So just stop supporting the fools using those locks. Chances are in excess of 99% that you don't really need to streamrip the latest Britney Spears Does Dallas episode.
Just like last time. If it (ie, the forced-upgrade model) ain't broke, don't fix it. I still remember laughing at those fools who bought the last of the G5s at full, grotesquely inflated price.
They're on a spree trying to reduce exposure to a failing US dollar (thanks Bernanke) because they're sitting on a gigantic cash pile that's devaluing every single day. Buying a productive asset is a perfect offset to the Fed's bout of insanity, plus it solves a major problem for Apple's next generations of products. Not just iPhones, but across the lineup. And buffers against backlash from Samsung. Win win win for Apple, assuming it flies in Japan (which is far from guaranteed regardless of whatever current crap Sharp's mired in).
AMD has lost performance/watt (on x86 at least) when they fired all the engineers who knew how to make performance/watt critical decisions. Then they hired a bunch of copy-pasters from India and China. I'll bet the CEO responsible got a hefty bonus for this "presidential" decision.
The problem, from Apple's perspective, is that Samsung is the only viable producer of top-quality displays. Only Samsung and LG can produce the volume necessary, and Samsung is openly hostile now that Apple's been trying to bend them over one too many times. So now they're stuck with crap SSDs (Toshiba) and crap IPS panels (LG) unless they pull a rabbit out of the hat. Keeping Sharp afloat with purchasing agreements would be the Microsoft move (a la the investment in Apple, early 90's) but Apple is more likely to buy Sharp and try to keep the entire supply chain in-house. It would take years for this one to bear fruit but, hasn't Apple been patient before? And they've got the cash to build out in a hurry.
The Note can be used one-handed if your hands are average size. It has settings that enable the phone app, for example, to place all the numbers within reach of your dominant hand.
Obviously it's better to just get the phone that fits. I can't be bothered to muck about with a little iPhone when there are slightly larger devices with a much larger usable display.
Not quite. Intel debugs and modifies the firmware to a mild degree. Although Intel fixes certain SandForce bugs, mainly specific to Intel's own needs, these fixes may eventually trickle down to other OEMs after an expiration period of 6-12 months. We've seen this happen a few times recently. I wouldn't buy more SandForce because of it though.
Even if it did have a Pentile display, which it doesn't, I doubt you'd know from an unaided visual inspection. At 300DPI 99/100 of us need a loupe to tell if it's Pentile or RGB.
FYI only some of the SAMOLED screens are Pentile. All of Samsung's IPS/PLS panels are standard RGB.
Only the burn-in issue is specific to the MBP. Samsung panels are better than LG across the entire product lineup. Lately even fewer are winning the Macbook Air screen lottery, and if you get a Toshiba SSD with that junk LG screen you're SOL.
I get more eye strain from trying to read the tiny screen on an iPhone and the low contrast doesn't help. If you have average or bigger hands the iPhone is an abomination, and the light-bleed (easily observed in any darkened room) is gruesome after a couple of minutes.
Compare that with the AMOLED screen on a Note. For left-handers it's an even easier decision.
You'd think we could collectively shut our internet-enabled mouths for a year and let this RT abortion gasp its last few breaths. Let MS pump some cash into it, prop up the hardware division, subsidize a few thousand Playbooks -- err, meant Surfaces. Then at a packed (thanks to the free sea-bass and pumpkin juice) "developers" meeting, Steve could make a sweaty chair-throwing announcement and they'd finally give up, redacting press releases to pretend it never happened.
That would be the right thing for us to do. MS hoist by their own greedy petard. Welcome to my ignore list, RT.
I would not say "zero impact" lightly, and other Mac owners agree. Fact is, Samsung makes the best panels Apple offers. As a loser of the 2012 MBA panel lottery myself, it sucks to pay full price and get a clearly inferior machine. There are many threads on this. The worst Apple laptop is the one with an LG panel and Toshiba SSD. The best are those with Samsung parts instead.
Maybe you're too young to remember it but Apple was logging everybody's GPS coordinates for quite a while there. It took a massive outcry before they reversed their policy on unwanted silent tracking without consent. They argued the logs weren't personal info back then.

Amish. Same thing.

Grammer nazi's be dammed.

Yeah, sure. So where's the torrent?
Forget the pen, get a uni kuru toga. Live like a king for twenty bucks.

Somebody already did a meta-study of these theses; here's a video of Willowtalk reading the results at maximum speed to a crowd of planking Aussies covered in hot grits.
FYI, ABS doesn't decrease stopping distance. The difference is that ABS increases your ability to steer in low traction conditions.
