Comment Re:Voltage != Power (Score 1) 208

No, the submitter's paraphrasing was the issue. The line in the article says:
> The first iteration will have a 5 volt power transfer rate, but that is expected to deliver up to 100 watts for higher power applications.
Watts == Power and the word is nitpick, not sneak peak.

Comment Re:Change is good (Score 2) 248

Eeeeehhhhhhh.... that doesn't really apply. IBM had to change, typewriters and Mainframes were going the way of the dinosaur.
I don't see Windows doing that, actually worse, things that Microsoft hope would go extinct aren't (ie. XP).
Now Microsoft already has some forays into hardware but they just aren't that terribly profitable.

While the Xbox One and Xbox 360 sold 3.9 million and 3.5 million units respectively, gross margins for the Devices & Consumer Hardware division were down 46% to $0.4 billion. Total Surface revenue doubled to $0.89 billion (probably selling around 1 million Surface tablets), but costs also spiked to $0.93 billion (probably due to marketing and slim margins on the Surface tablets).(http://www.extremetech.com/computing/175350-microsoft-delivers-record-revenue-profits-due-to-strong-xbox-windows-phone-and-commercial-sales)

Wow, $0.89 bil for the Surface that's amazing and .... oh... wait....

Commercial Licensing (Windows, SQL Server, Hyper-V) revenue grew 7% to $11 billion.

Yeah software is still the main cash cow and it's going to stay that way unless people, I dunno, everyone suddenly switches to Linux or something?
