Yeah it does take a lot of power when it's running... but here's the trick.
You can hit a keyboard shortcut in Windows Vista / 7 that will put your netbook in discreet mode. It doesn't use as much power when it's operating in this fashion.
So you turn off your GPU acceleration when you're not watching HD video or running a game.
thanks for the info... I had a nokia n70 that was really solid. I enjoyed that little device. I wonder if this netbook will run GNU/Linux like the n70.
hax0ring the security cam? so this "three letter" agent was able to infiltrate the CCTV and overlay some porn where his screen would be? I call bullshit.
What about eye strain from the constant blurring/clarification process?
I would think a person using this technology would have to train themselves not to try and focus on an area of the screen that would normally be in focus until the "gaze" sensor figures out what they're trying to look at.
An advisory board formed in just 2008 is still wet behind the ears. The UK is relying on a revolving door advisory panel. It's a shite state of affairs.
The only reason I had a Dreamcast was because Electronic Boutique was selling them for $19.99 at one point. I bought as many as I could and hit the Newsgroups for cracked games.
After a while I discovered a fantasic NES emulator, called NesterDC which increased my love for that system.
If this blog seems to be less than cohesive and entertaining, I have a confession to make: I tend to dump my rhetorical leftovers here....
The primary reason is simple: why devote effort here when I have so few visitors and my writing at the other sites has a far larger guaranteed audience?
Try to be a bit less "reactive", people have feelings.

Exactly the same thing that happened to Steven Rambam at HOPE...
I was there man, saw it all go down like watching numbers on the elevator.
You can hate them for their poor business practice, but their 3G coverage is undeniably superb!
Unfortunately I got stuck with T-mobile cause I wanted an Android so bad.

Intel Atom by itself is garbage.
On the other hand, an Intel Atom with an NVIDIA GPU is called ION.
I'd buy it if it had an ION, I do like the durability of NOKIA hardware.

Fuck that. Teaching people how to code the correct way creates equals.
Messy spaghetti code is always a pain in the ass to fix, but does help us consultants rack up the hours.
Keep the crappy PHP code coming boys!

CUDA is a framework that will work on Windows and Linux.

Manimal comment?
So next time I pick up a hooker, it'll be OK if I beat her on top of screwing her, as long as I give her an extra $40 or so?
You might want to OK the beating with him/her first. Otherwise her pimp Sugar might get wind of it and give you a really bad day.

You are right about me being reactive, although "digging up dirt" isn't exactly what I was doing by quoting you off your public blog.
The original intent of my comment was to point out the fact that shortening URLs could have a negative impact on a site pondering SEO.
Truth. :)
From your blog:

That wouldn't be very UX-centric.
