From the summary:
> and two integrated 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports

The article doesn't say that they're integrated, just the summary. Maybe the mac is internal, but the phy (the power hungry part of ethernet) will be a separate chip. There's no way they stuck it in the cpu, 10G phy silicon is huge and heatsinky.

Who knows if they they included the phy power in the 45 Watts.

Then write to your politician to not be so corrupt and uphold all of the existing laws. A consumer buying the lesser product just to prevent a monopoly is totally absurd.

It's been interesting watching the beast slowly awaken from ARM poking at it so much. I hope we get some great mobile chips out of this.

Maybe 2015 will be the year of the well hidden don't-hold-it-that-way type heat sinks, along with thicker phones for bigger batteries, so we can actually use these things. Function has to creep back into fashion at some point.

You're lucky. I'm have one option (comcast in silicon valley) of $79 for 20meg down/1meg up.

We can *just* do hd streaming for amazon/netflix videos. Some nights, it's too slow and we buffer every once and a while.

I have no mod points, so take this comment instead.

Slashdot, your comment rating system is shit.

And, once these multi rate gigabit get cheaper, cat5e should be good up to 5gig at 100m, 10G short run. :D

Blowin my mind here. I wonder if this Uncanny Valley problems manifests itself in our society as a whole. I suppose if you wanted to get philosophical, you could say that cultural resistance for change and introduction of new things is an Uncanny Valley problem.

I never thought of the "Uncanny Valley" like this before. I was going to respond saying it might be the less technical not understanding the difficulties of implementing realism, resulting in a mindset of "but it can't do this!" rather than "look what this can do!"...but that's basically the Uncanny Valley problem in this context, the expectation of realism increases as you approach realistic.

"different proprietary formats of video from security cameras"

Since when are iPhone and Android devices considered security cameras?

But how is this legal? Seems to me a truly public company wouldn't be able to limit the shares bought by any entity. I always assume public meant anyone could buy into the company...the more money you put in, the more of the company you own.

I realize that. I just find it interesting that if you changed a few sentences in the instruction manual, there would be, literally, no difference between the two.

I'm confused. Isn't the movement of a limited resource the definition of an economy and the foundation of currency? How is this any different?

Genuinely curious...

How long did this take you to start making a reasonable income?

Maybe being invisible is a good thing, especially when you could try to reflect/douse the area in water if you saw where it was hitting.

You'd think all of this would be illegal under The United Nations Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons.

I imagine everyone on board will be blinded. I also imagine blinding a whole crowd of spectators would only take one piece of shiny metal.

This doesn't give full tracking, only gestures.
