Maybe Google scared Microsoft with the donation of 15,707 Raspberry Pi systems.

Everyone knows the goal is to get users hooked as young as possible. Schools have small budgets, Adding more Raspberry Pi seats is way cheaper than adding more seats with Microsoft Windows. Microsoft may have a hard time.

So there I was, trying to retrieve the video of the suspect for the cops, and it turns out that recording had been turned off on all 16 cameras 12 hours before the incident.

No network issue here, I never connected the system to the network.

One of the last things the system recorded, was the wee little hands of the owner's 4 year old grandson, playing with the mouse. He made all 16 little boxes in the status grid turn black. Just 16 little clicks.

TFA has a link to stupid prior art.

New bad ideas can be patented. It isn't supposed to be possible to patent old bad ideas. The problem, is that old bad ideas are often badly documented, because they are bad ideas. If the patent examiner doesn't find the prior art in the limited time available, then the examiner is likely to grant the patent.

The first 15 seconds of each match are autonomous and the goals are worth twice as much. The remaining 2 minutes of each match are teleoperated.

If they could make enough of these wonder chips to satisfy the projected demand, they wouldn't bother with a "Limited Edition". They're limiting sales to match their manufacturing capacity. They don't want to cannibalize potential Atom design wins with this chip that they can't yet make in high enough quantity. Expect the "Limited Edition" moniker and associated high price to go away "real soon now".

Once they can make the things in sufficient quantity they will undoubtedly make versions with server features. Most server buyers don't need or want on chip graphics, but do want ECC.

Depressed people are also likely to self medicate with cigarettes or alcohol. And using cigarettes or alcohol sometimes leads to depression. In some people, it leads to a positive feedback loop.

The very, very small area is probably a few orders of magnitude smaller than your concept of very very small. The ieee article says it will take months to test 1 billion cycles. There are on the order of 10 million seconds in 4 months, which means the researcher thinks he can test at the rate of 100 cycles per second. In other words, the regions are so small, it takes on the order of 10ms to cool enough for the next test cycle.

It wasn't that long ago that we saw that someone had ported Ubuntu to the Nexus 7.
