Apple iPhone 5 To Flaunt New A8 Processor 197

An anonymous reader writes "The release of iOS 4.3 beta for developers has revealed updates to gesture-based navigation, AirPlay and Personal Hot Spot in the next edition of iPad and iPhone. However, not all changes are UI-related; it is reported that Apple is due to add an ARM Cortex A8 processor to its iPhone 5. Apple Daily, a Hong Kong-based newspaper, reported that Apple's iPhone 5 will be powered by a dual core processor with SGX543 graphics. It is reported that Apple is in contact with a Taiwanese component maker for the A8 SoC. Currently Apple uses a custom made A4 SoC in its iPad and iPhone 4 and uses SGX535 graphics and video support."

Why, because search terms aren't auto-completed? You can still search for them, they just don't show up in instant search nor are suggested for users - much like adult content. IMO this is a good move. I don't want to be searching for "minified js engine" on google and have some sysadmin on my ass about why I had a google suggestion packet coming to me that was for "mininova.org".

Unity definitely does, at least in it's current state. I used it all last month, and experienced some major slowdowns/memory leaks if I left my computer running for more than a week. At the worst of it, it took ~2 minutes for their app launcher (think alt+f2 equivalent) to open. Not the app itself mind you, that's just the time that was needed for the launch prompt to display. Granted it's not ready yet, but I just don't see it catching on in 11.04.

Yea. Actually there's a budding market for it. They even made a class of vehicle for those who enjoy it. They're dubbed, "Recreational Vehicles".
Snarky comments aside, it absolutely is. A hammer is a tool to get work done in one man's hand, and an instrument for another man's hobby. Ever seen a biker gang moseying down a highway on a sunday morning? They aren't going anywhere, they're just there for the ride. Classic vehicle owners often go for joy rides. I personally enjoy going for a ride in old diesel pickup trucks, something about the purr of their motor and the way they lazily meander down the road does it for me.

4 days for 5 flowers? A brute force approach to the traveling salesman problem is a n! growth rate. For 5 flowers, you only have 120 combinations. That'll take a few microseconds to solve on my phone. You wont start seeing time being measured in days until you hit 14 flowers or so. Not saying you're wrong about the fact that we have problems, but just that 5 flowers isn't going to stress anyone.
