I wouldn't put this off so easily...

I can hear every mouse movement & hard disk access as interference on my audio-card as long as the volume is up quite a bit. It annoys me greatly, especially because its not a cheap mainboard. However i would not say that it is caused by bad "less shielded" whatever data cables. Power distribution on the main-board seems more likely a cause.

Comment "Study" includes subsidies (Score 5, Informative) 635

It factors in the subsidies for solar energy. Compares an absolute discount price of solar to the average of nuclear power, ignores the fact that nuclear energy is a constant supplier etc.

In short: sensational and bogus.

I think the rebuke mentioned earlier should be read as well: http://atomicinsights.blogspot.com/2010/07/gullible-reporting-by-new-york-times-on.html

Comment The real "secret" of Apple (Score 5, Insightful) 443

Is that they have a very clear idea of what their users do with their products. Not because they leave it up to their users to decide, but because they tell them.

Here is your powerbook.. with it you can videochat and edit your holiday photos.

They are doing the same with the ipad: http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/

They take the application and then very much optimize the hell out of the application until it fits perfectly to the device its running on.

Other manufactures just build a tablet. And this is why this product will be a success.

Please not i'm not an apple fanboi. I don't even own any of their products.

and the thoughts that went into it.

I find the design pretty daring and radical. But still, without knowing anything about art or design, I can tell that a lot of thought went into it.

That it's done with free software is ++, and just goes to show how effective it can be, when put into capable hands.

congratulations.
