how is this less expensive than just placing a single thermometer on each shelf? seriously, it's a interesting tech but making temperature labels is solving a non-problem.
i think they would be better off changing to using their tech in applications where sensors can be put on people's skin like temporary tattoos to replace bulky systems. a heartrate monitor would be good place to start. though this could be very useful for tracking both location and status of hospital patients or the residents of homes for the elderly, especially those with dementia or alzheimer's.
ARM designs the most popular processor architectures in the world. there is an ARM core in literally billions of machines and i dont just mean cell phones. modern ARM chips run anywhere from 12 MHz to 2.2 GHz and they can scale to run much much slower to save power big time (there is an ARM chip that rivals the MSP430 chips). now with the ARMv8 arch, i think we will be seeing some serious inroads made on the server market. of course, ARM will continue to be in everything from your coffee maker to the chips that the NSA secretly implants in people.:P
this has happened in all sectors of our emerging dystopia. the media was the first to go. the endgame of controlling information is to control everything. unless you have someone with good intentions at the helm, this is simply a step in a conquest of dominance. it's like the dark ages but with lawyers instead of soldiers.
... designed to challenge companies like ARM in the embedded and mobile markets.... Major features of the new chip include: support for 40-bit memory extensions, or up to 1TB of RAM, a 128-bit SIMD engine (Single Instruction, Multiple Data), and Hardware virtualization (MIPS R5 can virtualize other machines in hardware). The P5600 core is being touted as supporting up to six cores in a cache-coherent link, most likely similar to ARM's CCI-400. According to IT, the chip is capable of executing 3.5 DMIPs/MHz in CoreMark...
hmm... seems a bit limited for a smartphone processor.
During this critical turnaround period, HP needs all hands on deck. We recognize that in the past, we may have asked certain employees to work from home for various reasons. We now need to build a stronger culture of engagement and collaboration and the more employees we get into the office the better company we will be. Belief in the power of our people is a core principle of the HP Way Now. Employees are at the center of what we do, we achieve competitive advantages through our people. HP has amazing employees who are driving great change. We believe the more employees we have working together, the better for HP and our customers.
How does this support the company strategy end culture?
We want to make HP a great place to work and build a stronger HP Way Now culture of engagement and collaboration. Employees who are more connected tend to be more collaborative, productive, and knowledgeable They will also have a greater sense of the company goals and experience a greater sense of pride in HP. We believe that having employees work from the office will unite and inspire them to achieve higher levels of operational excellence and innovation.
if it's so much better for the company then why the hell were you "asking" people to work from home in the first place?!

Albert, I'd definitely like to hear more about NUad as well.
Well I think there's two things you're asking. NuAds by definition is simply interactive advertising done on the platform. Using the functions of the console and Kinect to interact vs. just watching a spot. There's nothing particularly interesting happening here unless you're in the advertising business, and we've done a few on Xbox 360 today.
What I think you're asking about is an interview done earlier in the year where someone was talking about how some of the new Xbox One Kinect features *could* be used in advertising - since we can see expressions, engagement, etc. and how that might be used to target advertising. This is the point that seems to draw some controversy.
First - nobody is working on that. We have a lot more interesting and pressing things to dedicate time towards. It was an interview done speculatively, and I'm not aware of any active work in this space.
Second - if something like that ever happened, you can be sure it wouldn't happen without the user having control over it. Period.
Two examples of how we deal with similar things today:
First, Kinect can recognize your face and log you in automatically. There could be some cool features we could enable if we stored that data in the cloud, like being able to be auto-recognized at a friend's. I get asked for that feature a lot. But, for privacy reasons, your facial data doesn't leave the console.
Second: You'll see us do some things around Skype that freezes the video when Skype is not in focus (meaning, it's not the primary app). If you go back to the home screen, or launch another app, we actually stop the video stream. We do this so the user can't even ACCIDENTALLY have the video stream going on in the background.
I'll say this - we take a lot of heat around stuff we've done and I can roll with it. Some of it is deserved. But preventing Kinect from being used inappropriately is something the team takes very seriously.
Hope that helps.
that was his emphasis, not mine.
so basically, everything he's saying could be wrong.
if you are going to run Windows Phone, you damn well better accept that MS and the NSA will have full access to everything on your phone and will set it to record all your conversations.
this used to be tinfoil hat area but now it's a probability.
STOP USING PASSWORDS FOR AUTHENTICATION! why not only allow connections in authorized_keys??? if you feel so inclined, add a password on top of the authorized key.
there is only so much programmers can do to make it user friendly and secure.
Thomas Stoltz Harvey (a pathologist) conducted Albert Einstein's autopsy. What they seem to omit (probably due to embarrassment) is that he stoleAlbert Einstein's brain. Apparently he was trying to figure out (and take the credit to be famous) the very same thing, what made Albert Einstein so intelligent. He became obsessed and it ended up destroying his life and marriages, yes, multiple marriages. The only thing two things he did right was preserve the brain properly (though he sliced it into many parts) and eventually (decades later) return the brain. If you think he got his just deserts, well, take solace in that his selfish actions destroyed him.

seriously, slashdot editors, it's pretty easy to tell when an article title is bullshit hype. WHY DID YOU LET THIS TITLE PASS?!
it wasn't a good idea to start with and it hasn't gotten any better since then.

the past, present and future is ARM.
The only subtle distinction is that the terror that we need to worry about are increasingly of the domestic variety.
the important question is if the increase is the cause of our actions or effect of them.

P.S. prepare to be disappointed.
Seriously, I'm waiting a patent troll to step up to the plate and sue cuz the new currency uses something the troll patented.
the government has the power to seize any patent at will. while they have not done this to date, they might if it messes with our currency.
$100 bills are the most popular bill counterfeited in the world. however, $20 bills are the most popular bill counterfeited in the US.
the new design is going to piss off North Korea because they counterfeit US $100 bills like crazy: http://www.csmonitor.com/World/2013/1008/New-100-bill-why-North-Korea-won-t-be-very-happy-video
if you looked at it, you are thinking the same thing i am: this rover is a knock-off of our previous rover model.
also, ours is bigger than yours.
average in-use lifespans:

military grade --- forever (nobody is going to haul that brick around!)
aerospace grade -- until it falls out of orbit
it doesnt seem to be far off where the internet is split into many parts with no centralized registry.
will it actually increase the overall speed of the browser?
Sadly, we're all human.
speak for yourself, fleshbag!
they didn't even mention the single most important part of this device: battery life.

Will I get a longer battery life from using Android or using Windows Phone?
seems like something worth knowing.

really we just need to scare the crap out of the existing people so they dont pull this kind of bullshit again.
it looks like Netflix pulled this title (their probably license expired) but you can get it on amazon.com or your local torrent site.
