Probably won't be the thing that holds it back. Bank credentials are commonly used for person identification in Finnish official websites (welfare, taxes, etc). So at least that is possible to implement.
I have always thought Sony as a high-quality brand, but frankly the company has quite a lot on its shoulders already. From the top of my head:
- exploding laptop batteries
- hard-to-service laptops which require bunch of proprietary little drivers
- rootkit music CDs
- disabling "other OS" in PS3
- screwing with PSN customers
- cranking up prices of Whitney Houston's music after the girl died
I personally have not established any boycott campaign against them, I just hear these things. After all, Sony has jumped the shark already in terms of cutting-edge hardware - Korea is the new Japan, with Samsung and LG making all the cool stuff.
I guess it's a practical choice then. JavaScript is widely used and they can move their skills to the AJAX and Metro world.
For the more nerdy types, the "if you want to be a sushi cook you will have to start as a kitchen cleaner" route could be offered as an interesting alternative route. There you would begin with C and assembly...to learn a bit how processors work (machine language, registers, stack) and how to write lean code. Raspberry Pi would be the hardware and, you would have a dedicated mentor to guide you through. Just a fancy dream...
I said desktop on ARM -- the desktop on 32/64-bit will work with existing applications just fine.
It's just the word order that was in your sentence "The desktop is only available on ARM for Office and Explorer." The confusion could have been avoided if it were "On ARM the desktop is only available for Office and Explorer."
Meanwhile, Windows Explorer has lots of really good enhancements, from integrated SkyDrive to native support for mounting and burning *.iso files (FINALLY), and a return of the 'up' button to go up a directory level.
Mini-clarification: you can already burn ISOs using Windows 7, mounting is a new thing though.:)
That is the kind of reception that Apple wishes the iPad 3 would get (although it probably won't.)
From the Raspberry Pi Twitter feed I today read that the Raspberry Pi had been ranked higher than iPad 3 by search engines in terms of news with most buzz.
We certainly need to start using some universal processor benchmark score. Even though it wouldn't always produce completely comparable results, it would be much more useful than MHz (which on x86 desktops at this point tells almost nothing) or throwing around these "snapdragons".
After geolocating your safe-click they will send there a stylish white-on-blue t-shirt with the custom text "I survived the $disaster", the backside having the Facebook logo.
and even then probably free/included in the plan/minutes.
Playing a bit grammar nazi here...but that piece could have benefited of curly brackets, i.e: "and even then probably free/{included in the plan}/minutes." Those make it easier to realize where the slash options begin and end.
Isn't the PadFone a step towards the reality people have been heralding here: tomorrow we will be using just a phone which at home or workplace attachs to a bigger display and peripherals...
You'd have "rich" processes that hog all the CPU time, and you'd have "poor" processes that couldn't get any CPU time at all. It would be a crazy fun Linux kernel patch, though:)
Simply with process priorities (the "nice" command, for example) you could set up a scenario like this.
I wish I had mod points. I was practically screaming at my monitor about parent being modded +4 insightful. I'm holding back on making a political statement regarding economics at this point.
I'm curious about your workload. If it's more disk latency bound than CPU or GPU bound, would you possibly benefit more from the addition of more RAM, instead of moving to an SSD?
He actually said the opposite: his workload is CPU/GPU bound. Was talking about getting a SSD once he has a computer that's disk bound.
Just yesterday I actually had someone tell me to enter my "personal PIN number ID" for a university copying machine. That's enough to make one's head explode.
I duckduckgo'd the subject a bit and it appears that Tim Cook has set a mini philanthropy program where if an Apple employee donates something to a non-profit organization, Apple pays the bill.:)
Okay, this web history thing was easy to check. But day by day it seems I have more and more of this kind of privacy stuff to take care of. Some terms have once again changed, my data is being mined in new ways, hey check your new privacy settings or be sorry. If I actually took throughly care of all this, it would soon become a mini job...

Sure, I like Unity too. Though it was a bit sluggish on a low-end N270.

Chrome and Opera even have built-in plug-in policy settings.

Real World Technologies is worth mentioning too. It's a high-quality, rarely updated site involving mostly CPU/GPU/APU type stuff.

Apple needs its own gates-esque "philapplethropy" program...
.....will society require to learn that everything on the web effectively lives forever?
Maybe, but by deleting something from Facebook I can control its ubiquitousness by quite a bit.

He could've been modded "Interesting" anyway...

Indeed, posting to a thread works as a vaccine that will resist you from the rush of pleasure of modding if you can't control it.
Yep. These days, I from the start usually just fill the board with as much as RAM it can take.

That truly is golden. Like art.

Confirmed also by MythBusters that vodka will remove bad odor from your feet. :)

You're otherwise correct, but the /. summary ends with:
The linked page crudely says "Mozilla is not interested in or working on Pepper at this time." Ah well.
