Obama in charge of executive orders and "the pen" is far worse.

Adding Machines were ubiquitous growing up in offices & flash bulbs in your Kodak Brownie were the norm.
Well, the scientists are in Berlin, Germany!
When these "scientists" "change things" and some climate is altered, I can guarantee more than a billion people are going to complain about the change and the legal charges in the Hague against those that foisted off the plan and carried it out will be a circus.
Apple Mac Book Pro. Yup, I need to crank the fans to 6000 rpm when I am doing heavy duty 3D, image, video work, but it runs Windows 7 just fine.
Pick anything but Windows!
I can probably do better than Obama & FBI blaming N. Korea in the last few weeks.
HP in trying to save itself with its new memristor memory applied in a new type of computer with a "new" OS. Hence, it will potentially disrupt the PC markets again as IBM, Microsoft and Apple did. The question is how that new memory implementation proceeds.
HP could develop and produce the machines only by themselves, but that likely wouldn't result in quick adoption needed given that the software would be nill in the beginning. Hence, HP would need SDKs and partners, like Apple willing to produce a premium product. The world's software developers would need to be able to easily port applications for HP to gain a major foothold. No one is going to move Windows to a Memristor Machine, and Microsoft is not into CPU hardware, so is MS out?
No doubt Apple is looking intently at what this means 5 years down the road, as they have very long range plans. Apple could even buy HP, though anti-trust might be an issue. Apple could form a strategic partnership & licensing deal with HP. IBM can tag along on the corporate implementation side. Apple, HP & IBM would be a troika with major power.
One has to ask if the basic box PC makers like Sony, Asus and so forth will survive if the memristor starts to take off. Consumers and businesses are tiring a bit of dealing with constant upgrades every couple years and Apple has shown the way to make products that routinely last 4-5 years. The volume of PCs may decline, but the profits may still hold or go up, possibly.
Hence, we know for sure that cannibalization will occur and it is only which companies will fail to make the switch. They all can't make it, just like the dozens of auto companies after WWII came to an early demise.
Actually in a larger sense, the "Bank" doesn't want to see the day that Apple launches "iBank."
Figuratively speaking of course. Doubling the world population to 14 billion is going to wipe out any effects trees might have.
Time for Sony to bow out. No credibility left. But then, don't expect the buyer who puts a new name on the firm to act any diffferent.
Adam Smith disclosed that centuries ago.
Better Thiel uses his $s for medical research than a stupid non-controlled experiment on himself.
Amen: You want controls you identify by touch to do common things so your eyes do NOT leave the road.
