This seems very similar to the Doze feature that is coming in Android M.

>40% higher performance-per-clock from from the x86 CPU core.
That could very slightly close the gap between AMD and Intel!
I need more speed than G because I have an ultrabook with no ethernet port and I store files on my server.
I'll add my voice to the recommendations for Bittorrent Sync. It's fast, encrypted, doesn't rely on a third party hosting, and it doesn't even have to leave your LAN if you're at home. Avoiding needlessly uploading over a crappy ADSL connection is a major plus point.
I for one welcome our military petrol-powered gigantic robot flea overlords.
I installed the links browser just so I could pick the first option.
Yes, that is what the "except for those over 65" bit at the end of my sentence was about.
Yes, it's crap that applying for these benefits requires ancient browser tech, but note that this is for three specific benefits which will affect hardly anyone. The most common of these benefits, Disability Living Allowance, is closed to new applicants because it has been replaced by Personal Independence Payments. And Attendance Allowance was long ago replaced by DLA, now replaced by PIP except for those over 65.
The other privacy fear apart from adverts is open access for the state to trawl through Gmail's servers at will.

Of course here in the UK the government want to intercept communications before they even get to Google's servers so the only real answer is a vpn and a private mail server in some other country.
Best method of storing and searching old email? Gmail. It can import from pop and imap so you can point it at your other inboxes and let it get on with it.You can upload from other mail clients to Google's imap server. Obviously it's amazing at searching through the archives.
Best method if you're concerned about Gmail's privacy? I'm still working on that one.
The Model A Raspberry Pi has been available for the last week.
This product doesn't quite add up.
I've watched the video of their presentation at DEMO and the concept is basically a 4U box containing 120 hard drives and has three fans on the front. They claim it takes 45% less power, 66% less space and 38% less heat output.
I can see that requiring less power for cooling would reduce the overall power consumption, but can't see how pumping the same heat out of three fans would achieve that. They also don't say how these drives are interfaced. Presumably there is some kind of controller in the box since there aren't 120 SAS connections coming out of it, but somewhere you have to have a server in charge of those disks and a connection with enough bandwidth to run them all. And then we need to know if there is any RAID intelligence in the boxes or if the server gets them as JBOD.
Oops...that should read 9/5/12.

I'm in the UK.
