According to the product page, it sure doesn't look like those are standard GPUs, as well as it looks like they go from dual socket Xeons to single socket, mounted centrally so the entire system would need to be disassembled to replace the CPU, if it is even replaceable.

My fellow Earthicans, we enjoy so much freedom it's almost sickening. We're free to choose which hand our sex-monitoring chip is implanted in. And if we don't want to pay our taxes, why, we're free to spend a weekend with the Pain Monster.
No, the problem with Agile is that it promotes a mentality of "it'll be done when it is done", where vague double-talk is allowed to thrive. As such, customer service tends to suffer. Everywhere else in the world - outside of the siloed developers living in their Agile world - timelines matter.
People *need* to know even a vague timeline of "will it be this year?"
Agile purists tend to frown on this, focusing more on your rolling releases where it doesn't matter what you ship as long as you ship. Could be a couple bug fixes, could be an entirely new database schema that mandates a re-write of connectors that allow for other departments to interface with a vendors app... you never know until you check the release notes.
First, there is an expectation of privacy inside one's office, and secondly Kentucky is a one party notify state when it comes to recording, so one party to the discussions taking place in the office needed to know that they were being recorded. Public records searches don't apply here.
Either that or the gigantic push for immediacy has been hurting the newspaper industry for some time, and relying in a professional photographer fighting through crowds with an SLR, only to then pull the memory card, put it in a laptop, find the right pictures and then upload them along to the office for processing, cropping and adding to an article takes far longer than "click, and it's already waiting on your computer" that you get from both iOS and Android anymore.
$5000 for a 31.5" monitor with a 3840x2160 resolution?
$800 gets a 30" monitor with a 2560x1600 resolution.
$1400 gets a 50" TV with a 3840x2160 resolution.
$2200 gets a 15" laptop with a 2880x1800 resolution.
Sure, none of these are directly comparable, but at the same time it's disappointing to see Asus at such an extreme price point.
The concern with the stated metrics is not that the electric powerplant emissions being included, but that "total footprint" includes all the way back to coal mining techniques while the total footprint of gasoline vehicles stops at the gas tank.
Considering that you are likely out of an educational institution, Microsoft likely provides you with free licenses for their products. As such, Hyper-V and SystemCenter would provide you with a fairly good experience that is easy to manage and automatically deploy based off of Active Directory. It is a solution that will likely meet all of your stated requirements and your other likely needs and wants in a package that is "good enough".
If you have a budget, consider VMware's vSphere offering. It can get pretty expensive (license costs greater than that of your physical hardware) however it is currently best-in-class and provides some truly amazing administration tools.
Except running binaries on end user devices requires processing power.
Processing power uses electrical power.
Google Glass has a battery that only runs for 2 hours under any kind of local processing load.
Imagine where things would be if Google *didn't* rely on web-based services processing the results and calling this device a display. Sure, that may not be as scalable as alternatives, however when runtime is paramount than you can expect some different behavior.
Really? I've been looking and what I was able to find over the past 15 minutes is that both have what is likely the same AMD x86 8 core 1.6GHz processor, same generation AMD GPU, the same amount of memory (XBoxOne DDR3, PS4 DDR5), same 500GB disk space, same BluRay optical disk format, same 802.11n WiFi, similar cloud-based execution off-loading strategies (Azure vs Gaikai)...
Even in terms of MIPS, these new console CPUs are a fraction slower than the previous generation, even though their GPUs are orders of magnitude better than the previous generation.
Specs wise, they appear identical to each other aside from the Xbox being Windows 8 at it's core and Sony *likely* continuing down their Linux-ish roots.
The only differences appear to be in the form of the User Interface and Peripherals.
I am being completely honest here and would like to hear what would make the PS4 significantly more powerful than the XBoxOne as to help impact my purchasing decisions.
Of course!
All those damn new customers with their self righteous need to use our infrastructure and not have their phone calls drop as we only have 1 tower to cover a county!
And data?!?!? They want to get emails on their phones while they are at it!
Who is going to pay for towers for all those new people to use service?
It certainly can't be AT&T since all that new earning is obviously profit, not an expense.
Greedy customers!
For people who upgrade between versions of the Adobe apps sooner than 4.3 years, Creative Cloud is a cost savings.
People who stay on one version forever... yes Creative Cloud is going to cost more money.
Although, the whole thing is more a testament to how expensive Adobe Creative Suite has been.
The people who just bought CS6 instead of CC are the ones who are really screwed here as Adobe has made it very clear that they are going to have "exclusive features" for Creative Cloud that will not flow down to CS6.
I've got news for you...
Most Android manufacturers stop providing updates the day their devices hit the market. If your sole concern is that yoy want a tablet that is going to have updates for years to come, there are a variety of Windows slates on the market.
Unfortunately, the summary does allude to being a HD screen by the passage "is the equivalent of a 25-inch high definition screen from eight feet away."

ArcGIS works *VERY* well for this task, especially when it comes to planning for new runs and forecasting costs.
I don't know about you, but I am shocked! *ONLY* 3 months?

Print journalism is turning into a blog.
DVD is 720x480 vs Bluray which is 1920x1080. The sizes are wildly different.

The truth is in the eye of a Judge whom is best swayed by a well-crafted legal strategy.

Are you unaware that "Less than 25 percent of students were aware of their biases" means that 75% were unaware of their biases?
Sounds as though that is a pretty apt title.
Sure, it is biases against "various weights" not just "overweight & obese", but the point still stands.

Proof that whistleblowers who trust an organization named SAPS are probably a tad too foolish and gullible.
To the same end, on historical analysis there has been one model that has held true more often than it has not.
The weather tomorrow will be exactly the same as today (+/- 1%)
Sure it is a meteorological and mathematical joke, you can't argue with the results.
Why do firms leak personal details in plain text?
