Cisco is massive... they buy out their competition, including areas of the market they want to expand in to. That's just how they function. If you can't put out the ideas, heck, buy them. Nothing really new here.
Honesty, how can you even record temperatures that extreme? I mean, do we get a lot of practice doing it? How can you be so sure the readings are accurate? Wouldn't that kind of heat melt anything that would be used to measure it?
Their success becomes their own enemey? Isn't that called motivation? That's just how marketing works... there's always a rush, and then things slow down. I don't see how this is news. Creativity keeps you alive in this market.
Being a student that attended a private university where laptops were assigned to every student, I can support the statement that they really don't help at all. Professors in a large portion of classes actually would ban students from using laptops in class because of the effects they have on test scores (they obviously aren't used for JUST taking notes). Having wireless internet right in front of you in the classroom is like being in an entirely different place, occasionally catching something the professors says in the background. Scores have dropped so much for the university the only reason for keeping the laptop program is for university marketing purposes (enroll here, get a laptop), which I know is different from the case in Indiana. Nonetheless, laptops (along with wireless internet) strongly affect performance in school, without a doubt.
It'd be much easier to just use an 8 gig flash drive, not to mention that there are SD cards out now that are half that size. It's not really a question of space, though, for cell phones. It's all about functionality. The two ideas have to work together to make something useful; they are mostly useless, or equatable to today's cell phones, if you have one without the other.
I imagined an intricate facitility, but wow! NewEgg is the ONLY website I order hardware from online, and it has never failed me. This is like when you watch the discovery channel and learn the entire manufacturing process behind a simple piece of candy.
A restriction on one end is just going to result in a counter-action in another part of the market by AMD... who cares about/uses skype anyways? This sounds like less of a chip issue, and more a of programming/willingness to port issue (which is ridiculous). AMD will continue to do what they do best... there's no marketing scheme that can hide a simply better product from consumers... not in our free market economy.
the first computer I used was a Mac Performa- and it was a nightmare. Either it couldn't run the software because it wasn't a PC or it couldn't run it because it wasn't a "PowerPC". Although, it did last forever, and it came standard with a TV tuner card, which you still don't really see today.
I don't think this article is really saying much, except for the fact that Intel is going to try to put their chips in everything (DVD players, appliances, etc). From a technology/research standpoint, this kind of worries me. Does this suggest that Intel is trying to secure their future by broadening their market because they can't produce new technology? As much as I love AMD, I hope that competition continues between the two chip-makers for a long, long time.
Halo one runs like, well... [explicative here] on PC. It's absurd. I can rull Half-Life 2 fully cranked yet Halo 1 is still choppy and looks terrible at the same resolution and settings. Considering the hardware in the orignal xbox's, all I can find to blame is bad coding and bugs in the software. Perhaps someone can port it to PC *FOR REAL* this time. And then I'll consider giving out my $.
Why bother with science if you are christian? Not all christians could care less about science. And just because you are a scientist or a christian, one does not exclude you from being the other, as many would want you to believe. Every day I regret how those who claim to be christian (and might really live faithfully, who knows, I'm not one to judge them) use their claim for their own political gain, publicity, agenda, whatever. And I'm sorry you've had to listen to it all; I'm sorry I've had to, also. My point is that it is possible to have religous beliefs and still contribute to modern science.
You have to give Intel credit for ruling the mobile CPU market. AMD doesn't even come close in this area. And with everything becoming lighter, smaller, more portable, and dependant on lower power consumption... you can't count Intel out at all. Perhaps we're starting to see two companies that used to compete directly with the same kinds of chips begin to specialize at what they do best: performance for AMD and mobility for Intel.
This is something I didn't want to see happen... it's like taking the baby 3 months after birth and putting it back in the mother's womb. Only so long til something is bound to pop out again.
Have you been to India? I used to believe the same thing- people in poverty in India are responsible for their own demise. I believed that right up until I was there for three weeks this past summer. I was in that place without clean water. Let me tell you something, until you too don't have basic human necessities available to you, like clean water, you have no idea what it feels like. Yes, the whole space thing is great for India and will probably help it overall, but let's not overlook the importance of human life. It's not like the Indian government is going out of its way to help people in need, although progress has been made recently.
"The FBI is also focusing on data warehousing as well as federated search technology, which allows a single search query to be deployed across a number of databases, regardless of whether those databases belong to the same protocol or platform.
If you were to look at a clock backwards, the hands would be moving counter-clockwise from your perspective. It's all relative. So in theory, both could be happenning at the same time.

Note the article says "sales", and not "actual usage". Unix servers are dependable... why buy something new when your OS functions perfectly fine?
So does that mean data stored on one of these drives would be called a peta...file? (I can't believe no one has cracked the petaphile joke yet.)

Does "the media" entail /. ? Just wondering... because I just saw 5 Apple-related stories on the front page.
You mean google?

What? We can drink? You mean to tell me the prohibition days are over? Curse that 18th amendment and get me some Jack!
Apple might want a little more than a simple "thank you"... money talks.
Robots don't have sex organs. Solves a lot of problems, really. As long as the programmers keep it that way...
...but I'll still be leaving the flaming bag of poo at the front door.
