Why would a 300 mm lens be critical to Samsung's success? It's too long for portraits, especially on a APS-C sensor.

IIRC, samsung cameras don't have mirrors, and therefore are not DSLRs.
One more, thing, the mac uses compression to avoid swapping-- CPU cycles are cheap, IO cycles are expensive.
see this ars technica article for an explanation-- yellow might actually mean--"compressing" and red might actually mean "swapping," though In any event, using 7.99 GB out of 8.0 GB (my situation), is perfectly normal.
Oh No, I'm using 9.5 MB of swap! Whatever shall I do?
On the Mac, free ram is wasted ram. If it's not otherwise assigned, it usually gets used as cache.
Apple keeps changing the activity monitor around, but in the latest-- Yosemite, there's a little plot that shows "Memory Pressure". If it's green, don't worry about it. If it's yellow, you are actually running out of memory, and might want to quit some processes. If it's red, the machine is swapping to disk, and if you are still using spinning rust, this can mean a massive slowdown.
Seriously, that's how it works
You have 4K Blurays? I have quite a few, and I've not encountered a single disc that offers more than 1080p.
for a couple 3.5" hard drives,
2.5 inch SSDs are plentiful.
Also a real desktop can get much faster CPUs than an iMac.
From what I've heard, i7-4790k is a real screamer... It really does depend on whether you can use more than 4 cores.
Somebody has to write the code associated with
#define MAXIMUM_BATTERY_LIFE 1
It's akin to writing a scheduler-- some algorithms are efficient, some are not so efficient.

Maybe you should read up on this extinction event. I like the part about impact winter, myself.
This article on SMT and the mainframe mentions that it has the potential to complicate billing...

Whoa there. He's not composing python. He's writing in a real programming language.
Moderation is our form of peer review.
The mid 2011 model MacBookAir 11 could be configured with either 2 or 4 GB of Ram. And... that's it. No user serviceable parts inside.
In 2012, people who wished to dally with obsolescence were force to get at least 4 GB-- 8GB was a build to order option.
It makes a real difference if the storage has more latency than the memory.
I've been dealing with a somewhat less than satisfactory app on my ipad-- eDrawings Pro, a CAD viewer. It's always complaining about running out of memory. The solution to my problems (assuming that I don't just cut my losses and run) would depend on whether the error message was being pedantic about RAM vs storage.
Laptops generally have a lot more memory than 16 or 32GB, so it's not an issue. When it becomes an issue, as with mobile devices, this should be compensated with more memory to dedicate to OS.
My iMac has 8GB of memory, and 4 TB of storage.
My iPad has 1 GB of memory and 16 GB of storage
Apple doesn't sell laptops with more than 16 GB of memory.
Now, get off my lawn!
