  2. Re:iPad's "success" on Why PCs Trump iPads For User Innovation · · Score: 1

    I knew it was gonna be big.

    Because apple's multi-touch is very useable and most people don't do stuff with a PC that the iPad can't do.
    For most people it is the ideal computing/electronic device (PC?).
    It was nicely priced, even more so for a apple product.

    But I really thought it would be used more in settings were the form factor is ideal:
    * A museum could use it for additional geolocation triggered digital data for its visitors.
    * Package delivery.
    * Warehouse accounting.
    * A presentation/prototyping/brainstorming tool in meetings and gatherings.

    The difference is with OS X they had to look for the comparatively subtle faults.

    Iirc your high speed infrastructure was built for home schooling, eg videoconfering with teachers because of

    But to stay on topic wouldn't a very good low bitrate codec be awesome to enhance the codecs used in phones, walkie-talkies, etc ...
    Right now they use codecs designed for their purpose but not a lot of further development of them has been done that i know of.

  23. Re:Slower than an i3... on AMD Llano APU Review - Slow CPU, Fast GPU · · Score: 1

    Another thing to realise is that originally the first GPU (geforce) was called a graphics card with T&L ( transform and lightning engine).
    They offloaded the last 2 steps (step 5 and 6) of the rendering process to the gpu, while shaders could provide the opportunity to do a lot more of the offloading
    eg: all 6 steps, it's highly unlikely that all the cpu rendering responsibilities are now gpu only.
