I guess I'll have to buy that shiny brick then. Because I can't imagine Apple giving a rat's ass about any third party benchmark. It hasn't even been available for more than six months and I can't imagine Apple marketing quoting anything they didn't make themselves.

Even the GPU is open? That seems to be the current problem child for being completely open. I can't tell from the summary and the site doesn't work without javascript. Anyone know?

I don't think we'd care what the efficiency would be if Earth had 297 suns. jk

What's the actual efficiency when used at a single sun? Is this technique only useful with hundreds of mirrors?

60% increase. Yet no relevant data for scale to understand the shift. No wonder someone else called it 'technically true'.

Does hotmail have no security at all to detect bot created accounts? 60+% of all them. That's ridiculous.

So what they're building in Utah isn't actually a datacenter. It is the worlds largest internet cafe!

Just stop going entirely. It is expensive and isn't even as nice as watching at home or with friends. There's certainly no chance that social conventions will make it palatable again within our lifetimes.

Lighten up people. The world isn't going to fall into some permanent software as a service hellscape.

Until every browser supports LUA I'm not sure how you'd get Javascript to go away. There are very few (non-primary/embedded) scriptable engine languages. Besides with all the recent development Javascript is probably the best one.

He stepped down just before 40 years so we could make 39.9876 year pentium jokes.

"The malware interprets security as damage and routes around it."

What guilty parties did you intend to shine it at?

Every time the world's underlying assumptions shift there's some backlash and attempt to prevent the future from inevitably coming. But honestly either I'm just too knowledgeable about current events or everything I've read about other historical similarities seems tame in comparison. Yeah it was more violent but the world was just more violent then. Easier to club some heads or burn some equipment than employ lawyers. The breadth and scale of the backlash across everything in the digital space is just depressing.

Copyright, first sale, fair use, etc.

This was just the equivalent of a book club (slightly monetized). A twist on a library. This is getting ridiculous.

Can we even nominate those two? At this point they're practically Sci-Non-Fi.

I'm not sure I'd consider The Moon is a Harsh Mistress as depressing. I'm still sad for Mike but I'm not sure how you'd find the story depressing.
