The Samsung camera uses an inverted sensor, which loses less light in the silicon, so it can get lower noise with smaller pixels. It isn't a direct result of a smaller process size.

Yes I still remember those days. People were often hungry because their breakfast floated away. Hard times...
That print link tried to print literally!
Everyone gets all adamant about drawing a distinction between theft and copyright violation when we're talking about the MAFIAAs; can we please apply a consistent standard to cases when it's ordinary users being "stolen" from
Well, the difference is actually important. In one case, the data is being published and intended to be published, it's just a matter of optimizing compensation models. That is, the reason people object to copyright infringement is the potential loss of a sale. . In the other, the person's privacy is being breached, so something is in fact getting lost.
Or, to use an analog, it's the difference between sharing photos that were in Playboy, and sharing photo's copied off an unsuspecting person's device.
So in order for this to work, an iOS device must already be compromised with a jailbreak? Why is that news?
--Outlook - a mail/contact/calendar/task client that has a handful of competitors that excel in one area or another (IMO Zimbra coming pretty close)
I think I won the buzzword bingo on this section alone:
"Our activities in the social space are rooted in building relationships. Social destinations were created for this reason - connecting people and providing outlets to share. By maintaining our commitment to building these more personal relationships, we are able to provide our brand fans with an authentic social experience that is focused on connections, discussions and shared experiences."

Not exactly what I see replacing Outlook at work.
I fear something terrible had happened 5.5 billion light years away.
Well in that case it also happened 5.5 billion years ago, so your warning may be a little late. Then again they did say it happened long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away...
They are very good. They get all the notes of the original as close to exactly-right as you could possibly expect of a production. I would go so far as to say a studio would do worse because they'd want to interject some new concept.
It takes me 5 minutes of each episode to get used to "Kirk's" higher-pitched voice, but that incongruity fades rather quickly. And, sorry, but I keep expecting Grant to unleash a robot.
Regardless, the first three were better "TV" than most of what's on broadcast today. And I suppose there's an outside chance that the success of "Continues" will have an influence on how Paramount views the fanbase.
And 07624 is Isle of Man mobile (01624 is Isle of Man landline). Those calls get charged at international rates.
It is correct to say that mobile numbers begin with 07. As you pointed out, it is not always correct to say that numbers beginning 07 are mobile numbers.
Well, if it can run Android apps, that removes a major impediment to buying a Windows Phone. They need apps one way or another. This seems a better solution than playing developers to fill p the ecosystem.
Then, they can offer 2x the hardware for the same price, or whatever to build marketshare.
Then, they can extend. "Dear developers, now that 1/2 of your Android customers are running Windows Phones, maybe you want to make use of advanced features X,Y,Z"
A killer feature for me would be if they allowed more control over the device. Of couse, I don't think they will, but that's what I would want.
5) Uses Intels new-ish RDRAND instruction for a higher quality random number gen as the basis for ASLR
The ones that FreeBSD de-emphasized due to security concerns?
Yeah, I'm not keen on relying on a proprietary overlay to a proprietary OS. What happens when backward-incompatible service pack X arrives and breaks the overlay, and then you have to decide between learning the defaults or not upgrading? I'm not a fan of such things on general principle: if the OS really wants me to do things a certain way, I try to either adapt to it or not use that OS at all. Continually fighting against the current makes me tired.
