Comment Re:Why did they ditch the TV? (Score 1) 244

LG and Sharp are the two big panel makers. Samsung make some for their own hardware but aren't big on supplying others. All Apple's current products use LG and Sharp screens.

Samsung is the biggest player in the high end consumer display market.
Why do you think Apple is trying so hard to avoid buying parts from Samsung?

At this moment of time I am replacing a motherboard. Will Windows 7 even boot off it? NO!

Bullshit.

No efi support or I should say limited and no I do not even mean secure boot.

Bullshit.

I am talking usb 3 which Windows 7 doesn't support.

Bullshit.

USB 2 in efi? No support or very limited. Sata in uefi mode? Nope. Exotic. Need 3rd party driver.

Bullshit that doesn't even make sense. What does Windows 7 have to do with it? Talk to your mobo and peripheral manufacturers.

Windows 7 will boot if you turn on csm aka compatibility support module which trashes your boot time.

No tablet support.

Also bullshit.

It's the keyswitch FEEL. Clicky or non-clicky, you want a mechanical keyswitch. There are many options now for people who want a non-clicky keyboard with good feel - check for a keyboard with Cherry MX Brown switches.

Mechanical switches are a poor replacement for buckling springs. It's a world of difference.

Kepler Observes Neptune Dancing With Its Moons 19

New submitter Liquid Tip writes: NASA's K2 mission has the capability to stare continuously at a single field of stars for months at time. A new video shows K2 observations spanning 70 days from November, 2014 through January, 2015 reduced to a time-lapse of 34 seconds. During this time, we see some distant members of our Solar System passing through the K2 field-of-view. This includes some asteroids and the giant outer planet Neptune, which appears at day 15. A keen-eyed observer will also notice an object circling Neptune: its large moon, Triton, which orbits every 5.8 days. The fainter moon Nereid can be seen tracing Neptune's motion.

What Happens To Our Musical Taste As We Age? 361

An anonymous reader writes: New research from Spotify and Echo Nest reveals that people start off listening to chart-topping pop music and branch off into all kinds of territory in their teens and early 20s, before their musical tastes start to calcify and become more rigid by their mid-30s. "Men, it turns out, give up popular music much more quickly than women. Men and women have similar musical listening tendencies through their teens, but men start shunning mainstream artists much sooner than women and to a greater degree."
