Comment It's about oil and coal (Score 5, Interesting) 113

Iran not only gets money but also Chinese coal in exchange for their crude oil that they sell to China. Now when Iran finishes their reactors, Iran needs less coal for making electric energy. But China will still need the oil. Thus they have to pay more for the oil. Even worse, the less coal Iran needs the less dependent they become on China, so they are more likely to sell thei oil to other countries.

Sabotaging the nuclear plants of Iran is a cheap way to sustain the co-dependancy between Iran and China.

Just buy them what they want. I always hated it when my older brother bought me things for my birthday that I explicitely did not want. I even told him what I wanted and told him not to buy me what he thought would be suited best for me. Now we are both grown ups and he still buys me stuff I hide in my closet.

Comment ARM cores to take the place of the x86 dominion? (Score 5, Interesting) 222

Would be the most exciting revolution to watch. Since it has a totally different design it changes the parameters of how hardware end products can be built.

As ARM cores are so simple and ARM Holding does not have their own fabs, anyone could come up with their own optimized ARM-compatible CPUs. It's one of those moments when the right economics and the right technology could fuse together and change stuff.
