The way you find new solution paradigms is to jump in with both feet.

HP already announced memristor development 5 years ago. My guess is the HP Labs team are going to make all sorts of discoveries as they work through the entire design of the "Machine."

I'll bet HP's OS is a variant of UNIX or Linux to suit the new hardware to get developers on board.

Well, Meg Whitman had the guts to say "Find them some money" when HPLabs proposed the "Machine." I wish HP all the success.

It is about time some corporation stepped up to the plate other than Apple and jump-starts mega-improvement in major devices.

My first time sharing "Mini-computer" (was not mini sized), desktop engineering computer (using mag-strips pre-HP45), & then the HP35-41-45-75 were all incredible computing devices for their day.

2 Things: 90--100 million non-working adults & lowest labor force % in 45 years.

Did TrueCrypt go down because the NSA pulled their programmers off the team?

But this time it will be compromised and costly commercial SW.

Obviously this extends the need to define not only what differences exist between men and women, but between adults, teens, children and infants for anesthesiology and drug doses.

Given the numbers of attack vectors in data centers from social engineering to software to hardware faults, would you trust your company's IT data system ONLY to "cloud suppliers?"

Something like 2/3rds of small businesses that lose their digital data go out of business within 6 months, so it is a real risk issue to not have a totally local backup data system that can be brought up within a day.

Do you totally trust big cloud data centers?

"14% of Windows personal computers were on Windows 8", noted by Tim Cook vs "51% of Macs on Mavericks"

Heavily fractured ecosystems are difficult for both OS & App suppliers. What is "working" in the real world.

Where are we going?

Pay the upgrade or you deal with the "other" costs.

Apple is pushing the envelope: Free OS updates. Works on their hardware back 4-5 years.

My suspicion is MS, likewise, must get into the hardware business & become vertical.

At your device, what else can you do?

Or at least a stock purchase must be held for at least 4 days and then any gains are 100% taxed if sold in under 4 months.

This stops flipping and incentive to do short term ordinary income gains. Stocks after all are about long term investment.

I know, I know, the BIG trading houses and HFT & DARK POOL guys would absolutely go on insane rants, but what we want is a "CAPITAL MARKET", not really a trading market.

HP always made the best far back, like the HP-35, 45, 41cx and then PCs of high quality.

Now HP apparently seeks to blend in with the masses of the cheapest laptop designs on the Asian continent.

Who is going to match Apple for top-of-the-line laptops, which a professional can use for 5-6 years before replacement?

"there isn't enough money in the world to pay for a launch system", but wait there is enough money for a $1 trillion dollar program that has NOT achieved its stated desired results as verified by the GAO!

Head Start = No Start

NASA holding onto an out-moded Space Shuttle design, crimped the US's space efforts for decades.

Welcome to the Space X Dragon and someone finally with GUTS; Elon Musk.
