You're perfectly right. That's why I scrapped Ubuntu some time ago for my 2 ghz Celeron laptop with Intel Brookdale graphics (i915). I have to thank ArchLinux for allowing me to take the install one step at a time so I could find out why Ubuntu would not configure the graphics correctly. Now that I've got an LXDE destop, I don't feel the need to go back. Besides, who'd want to leave a distro that uses pacman to install software?

Thank God I'm not the only person who read it this way. The Internet has ruined me, but I'm not alone.

Will be disappointed, as I will not be home.

Submission + - How Nintendo made the Wii U a small, efficient games console (geek.com)

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Thursday October 11, 2012 @10:56AM

An anonymous reader writes: Nintendo's latest "Iwata Asks" session focuses on the Wii U hardware and some of the challenges faced when designing the new machine. What we learn from this discussion is the main objectives Nintendo set out to achieve with the Wii U hardware. They were:

- A console focused on HD content and output
- Very low power use
- As small a console as possible
- Backwards compatibility

And the key to achieving those goals? A multi core processor with integrated GPU from a collaboration between IBM, AMD, and Renesas.

I can see this replacing windshields for a full HUD. Billboards will be blue/green screens, with ads superimposed by the HUD. Coming soon, male enhancement graffiti.

I agree, and it's very rare that I agree with Microsoft decision making.
