You already have a separate, programmable regulator for Vcore (overclockers fiddle with it all the time) and in both cases if the regulator fails the CPU is toast so there's no advantage in keeping it outside. I'm not sure how they integrated the reactive components, but they're surely more reliable than current electrolytics, plus shorter paths mean less voltage drop meaning less stress.
The Y capacitor can leak enough for an uncomfortable tingle on sensitive skin like your bare lap (eg wearing shorts) or the underside of your forearms.
Scarily, some of those disasters were from when a large quantity of ammonium nitrate powder had solidified and people tried to break it up with explosives.
WHAT??!! Isn't it a bit like "DUH I OVERFILLED THE TANK AGAIN - I'LL JUST BURN OFF A BIT WITH A MATCH" ?
Yes, that's easy once you've located what you want. Recent experience: I wanted to watch an anime series, and the Pirate Bay versions were so-so (some language I don't speak, crappy resolution, audio out of sync...). I took me while until I found a neat site (BakaBT) which did have a few options, but they track UL/DL ratio; the biggest version was "freeleech" to promote seeding so I had to download a 35 GB, 1080p rip of a series made in 1996 (overkill !). Luckily I had other stuff to watch meanwhile.
Sorry, I mistook your argument for a newbie question but someone set me straight.
And I concur - content on BT is nowhere near as easy to get. Often you have to Google for it, identify the legit trackers among all the chaff, then register and keep the ratio. A long way from instant gratification.
If you mean BT Live, it's not meant for _files_ as you can find in TPB, but rather for broadcasts. It's also distributed, but a different animal altogether.
A lot, since TPB does not serve the video. All it does is coordinate BitTorrent clients, and said protocol has no provisions for streaming. To BT, file is a file and the idea is to exchange semi-randomly chosen chunks of each file between clients like you and me until everyone has a whole copy. So, there's no sequence in the content and you'll watch each file when it's complete (you can pick which files to download so you can start viewing ASAP, and some clients can fetch the first&last pieces of each file first so you can check the quality, language and such).
Maybe you're thinking of services like Cuevana. These keep lists of traditional RapidShare/Depositfiles/Mega/etc downloads, and provide you with a browser extension to uncompress and view the file as it downloads.

The prevailing opinion seems to be that mobile apps only need to "support" a subset of features, and that's fine for authoring from scratch. But when you edit existing documents, it can break or drop unsupported features.
The (sad) alternative right now is RDP/VNC into a real PC and struggle with virtual mice and whatnot. You will likely have to do it for other apps anyway.
If you have a *phone* you are, by definition, being tracked. Y'know, the phone has to register with the base station. In a city, cell radius goes down to maybe 25 m.
If you thought the Intel Pentium that displayed a users processor ID was bad, then you wait until the "Trusted Computing" platform is fully implemented on motherboards. Already manufacturers are colluding to make it very hard to find a modern (as in has USB3) motherboard without the TC garbage. Then there's Microsoft trying to lock down every desktop and laptop with "secure boot", to cripple Microsoft's "free" competition (still no squeels from the EU on that).
What makes you think that the bad guys rely on something they announced like Trusted Computer? They could have implemented it in every chipset since ever and just not tell you.
I hate mobile phones being locked down installing who knows what transmitting who knows what, now the manufacturers are trying to control the pc market too, makes it easier to track people.
Newsflash: ANY mobile phone is, by definition, tracked. When you turn it on and every time you switch towers (which is every 50 meters or less in a city), the telco *has* to know your new location so you can get that call with the latest intel from your fellow fighters.
Do you even understand how power distribution works? Do you think that there is a separate grid with separate dedicated conductors for green power? Do you think that a supermarket doesn't have a choice because of the physical connection to the grid? I can switch my house to renewable by telling my utility that I want to do that. They'll adjust their power purchases accordingly and adjust my bill appropriately. If I want, I can buy carbon offsets and pay for the build out of renewable generation plants to account for the carbon produced by my car, or the trucks that deliver my food.
What is the mix at Samsung, HTC, Sony, Dell, HP?
EE here, so I do understand a bit but I also understand Third World practices and we're talking about China. I seriously doubt that they can choose what kind of source they're supplied from (feel free to correct me). Still they could buy carbon credits as you mention (possibly through Foxconn) and brag about it but they just leave China out of their press release. A quick search failed to find anything about Apple involving itself in the chinese carbon market (again, please tell me if you know better than I).
What I'm pointing out is that Apple puts forward a green image that is at best inaccurate and at worst misleading, but anyway:
Clout is not infinite - if Apple pushes Foxconn to be greener, Foxconn will charge more money.
Yup, it's about the bottom line - beyond a certain point (e.g. efficient usage of materials), green cuts into margins. It's not unreasonable to think that Apple subcontracts what it can to China for more reasons than cheap labor.
In that context why don't you find a greener job, or bike to a farmer's market? It's much easier to underestimate the cost of a sacrifice that you ask someone else to make than than a sacrifice you make yourself. The reason for this is that you're aware of the details involved for yourself, but view Apple from far away where everything is rounded and shiny.
Greener markets: check (farmers drive all the way from other states). Greener jobs: none in my line of work. There are not even many recycling containers in this country since things went downhill. Plus some products are certainly out of our control (green electronics?). I sacrifice what I can - not throwing away what I can mend or repurpose, print only what I must, CCFL, etc.
I have little or no influence on my employer's, my local supermarket's or their landlords' decisions on energy consumption. But Apple has enough clout on their suppliers to have them build dedicated plants. Apple can surely push Foxconn for (realistic) green energy policies, and hopefully did so.
Of course office buildings are easier to make green/carbon-neutral than manufacturing plants (in an industrial park you use whatever source of power is available), and that's the gist of the half-truth: When they say "our power" it's not just what they own, but what they control and benefit from.
It's already clear that they conveniently left out all manufacturing/storage facilities, as if subcontracting made them not responsible. And of course, they don't use conflict minerals, their workers work 8-hour shifts in comfy offices... you get the idea.
Now I need a new tag for this PR BS. "bs"? "prspin"? "corporatebull"?
Is that S1 running CyanogenMod 10? If not, try it - I transmogrified one from exasperatingly sluggish museum-worthy Froyo into so-cool-JellyBean (the camera still lagged a bit, but oh well), with just the ROM from cyanogenmod.com and maybe a fresh bootloader.
I've an S3 too, and we can't even accuse Samsung of wanting you to upgrade on every launch; you just buy whatever is fresh at the time you need it, so it'll last you as long as possible. I expect the S6 to be out by the time our S3's are severely obsolete.
Ohh. BTW it is "Holmes' " You drop the trailing s when following an s. I love it when the hypocrites whine about someone else's punctuation, but can't even manage their own.
Ahem:
NOTE: Although names ending in s or an s sound are not required to have the second s added in possessive form, it is preferred.

I also suspect that other vendors have a similar environmental impact, but if they actually make their stuff their green statements should be closer to the truth.
