Of course no one is building a super intelligent CEO in a box as of now, but many companies are developing programs that are borderline AI with dealings with choosing their best investments especially the larger financial firms with those who manage mutual funds.
Now they don't call them AI at this point but they are approaching and I would wager that when it becomes viable, people will be building MBA's in a box to determine strategic decisions.
I think you are talking about "black box" trading at quantitative funds. (I can't imagine that many companies ask Computron where to put their money). If that is what you are talking about, I think you are quite off base. The driver for black box/quantitative trading is speed, not any computer insight. A human can't receive a stock tick and trade off of it in 10 milliseconds. A computer can, and requires nothing remotely approaching intelligence to do so.
Given that this is being compared to the EEE, physical dimensions are important. Guessing based on the pencil in the pictures, this looks like it is maybe 8" x 5" (20 cm x 12 cm).
So the link is "iphone-line-forms-at-apples-flagship-for-absolutely-no-reason." It seems quite obvious that the reason is marketing. Same as when there were lines at Apple stores selling iphones but not at AT&T stores selling iphones.
The last electrons to go in are 5g electrons. So, these nuclei have the only non-excited 5g electrons. It adds another step to the periodic table. This is super neat.
Extra steps.
Sigh, replying to myself. The source for the 1% figure is a blog of someone at Intel:
A more pressing near-term problem is the relative lack of experienced parallel programmers in industry. The estimates vary depending on whom you ask, but a reasonable estimate is that 1% (yes, that's 1 in 100) of programmers, at best, have "some" experience with parallel programming. The number that are experienced enough to identify performance pitfalls across a range of parallel programming styles is probably an order of magnitude or two fewer.
This seems like people are being given the drugs who don't need them. The drugs work for severely depressed people. They don't do anything special for people who aren't depressed because... they treat depression.
The drugs' success is contingent on you having the ailment they treat. Big news? I think not.
but current shipments they have to charge something because of accounting reasons...same reason they had to charge for the 802.11n in the macs that had the hardware but not the software to use the 802.11n standard.
"AMD fully complies with all United States export control laws, and all authorized distributors of AMD products have contractually committed to AMD that they will do the same with respect to their sales and shipments of AMD products," the company said. "Any shipment of AMD products to Iran by any authorized distributor of AMD would be a breach of the specific provisions of their contracts with AMD."
So you get 2 mbps. I guess that means 1 bit every 500 seconds. 1 billion people in India, 2 million bits per second. That's not that tough, but I guess giving everyone somewhere to plug in would take some infrastructure.
It says that it burns at 1x BD-R. How fast is this? I'll tell you, 4.5 MB/s. That means 10,000 seconds for a 45 GB disc. That's 166 minutes. That isn't slow, I guess, but it sure sounds slow.
I would say it is because the originating site wrote the article. If Slashdot put the entire article in the summary, people wouldn't click on the link. That does nothing for Slashdot and annoys the originator since they don't get any credit.
People with criminal intentions have, in the past, attempted to use the openness of their own wireless networks to cover their tracks online.
"There have been incidences where paedophiles deliberately leave their wireless networks open so that, if caught, they can say that is wasn't them that used the network for illegal purposes," said NetSurity's Mr Cracknell.
Such a defence would hold little water as the person installing the network, be they a home user or a business, has ultimate responsibility for any criminal activity that takes place on that network, whether it be launching a hack attack or downloading illegal pornography.
Removing the think of the children aspect, is the part I put in bold actually true?

We can't see the landers/probes on the moon, but we can see this one on Mars. I am very impressed. Am I missing something about the relative sizes?

There isn't much on the project's website: here
The escape velocity on this asteroid is 1.5 cm/s. Yes, centimeters. One small step for man, one giant trajectory for that same man.

I think the Joomla favicon is kind of tacky. Anyone else have an opinion?
Still open to debate.
This seems far, far too low. Admittedly I work in a place that does "parallel programming," but it still seems awfully low.

Riiight... because Apple is such a stickler for proper accounting.
