The Wii U is using GPUs only, the leaked details of the XBox and Playstation dev boxes have them using AMD for both CPU and GPU.

Also wasn't there an article a few weeks ago that AMD was looking to sell ARM based servers.

The article text actually says that they are not pursuing a sale strategy but they need to fix their profitability. AMD is the GPU supplier for the Wii U, and early development boxes for the new xbox and playstation are running AMD chipsets. So AMD should just need to stay afloat until all the next gen consoles are released to return to being profitable.

The thing I find interesting is that the Distrowatch ranking is counting the number of hits per day from each distribution (unique IPs only). Does this mean that Mint users are comparing features, looking to change distributions, or there is a subset of users pushing up the ranking?

My occasional visits to Distrowatch have generally been when checking whether changing distributions is worth it. Currently, I've gone with installing Cinnamon onto Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

The logos from the contest were only for displaying in October. The person with the best logo is winning a Nexus 7, not replacing the permanent logo.

Your speedometer can legally overstate your speed by 10%, so if your speedometer says 110km/h then your actual speed can be between 99 and 110 legally. However, if your actual speed is higher than what the speedometer says then your car (in Australia) is not roadworthy, so car manufacturer's always set the speedometers to say you're going faster than you actually are. (The Australian Design Regulations also specify that the speedometer must be accurate up to 40km/h)

Isn't that what Adsense is supposed to do? Display ads based on the page content.

I'm sure the actual system won't take long to manufacture, considering Google did all the hard work of creating the controller APIs and incorporating it into the SDK. What they'll be spending the development time on is the app store infrastructure so they can take their cut of sales.

Put them on ebay, there are people who would be happy to buy them.

Even though they killed the Meego line I'm looking at getting an N9, because I've realised that I don't really use any apps that aren't available on all phone OS's and Nokia's are still the best phones for making actual phone calls.

Maybe if Jolla produces a popular phone Nokia may revisit the decision to produce only Win phones and they can return to topping smart phone sales.

According to the media that I've been reading neither Samsung or HTC have submitted their LTE patents to the FRAND pool.

Saudi Aramco was estimated to be worth $781 billion in 2005

If they were to package it with a wireless game controller then it would be a be a viable game system as well

A quick check on google indicates that cameras were being added to phones in the 90s and according to the Apple site the iPhone 3GS didn't have a front facing camera; which means my Nokia N70 (released in 2005) clearly beat Apple to video calling and I know that it wasn't the first.

Another option would be to convert a non touch solution with a conversion kit. eg http://www.touchscreen-me.com/touch-screen-conversion.php
