So Ivy Bridge can do something after all! :D

Sure it's possible to have a Net Zero datacenter: Just use unary coding instead of binary, with 0 as the unary digit.

For example, by binary number 101 would become as 00000.

See? As a result, all the bits will be zero. Net zero. That means the data will weigh less, and it's good for the environment! A win for everyone.

Erm, ok, I mean, since when are geeks "grilling" stuff, unless it's a geek who has their interest in grilling of course. But I'm very sure that in that case, it wouldn't involve an iPhone app.

Well, the guy in the picture of the article seems to have a nice happy family with children so... :p

However, the whole article is not even remotely geeky.

Since when are geeks "grilling" stuff? I though geeks were busy visualizing mathematical functions and solving crypto problems on their trusty old desktop computers that have hundreds of wires coming out of the back, or solving their 8x8x8 rubik's cube.

Maybe they mean "Grilling for Techies"?

To be honest, the photo of it reminds me more of a very common arrangment in which 5 spherical objects can be laid out. There's almost nothing about it that reminds me of the olympic rings. The colors aren't there, the rings don't overlap, and the circles look more like hexagons.

Basically, it just looks like some molecule to me...

This does show that MS really wants developers to make Metro apps instead of regular Windows apps. They provide a free tool for Metro app makers, no longer for regular software.

What I wonder is:

Why? Why does MS prefer Metro apps over desktop apps? MS has always been selling a desktop OS as their core business, why do they want desktop apps to die out in favor of restricted, controlled apps now?

Yeah, people are just scared of the Technological Singularity!

For one moment there, I read "Comic Sans" instead of "Comic Chat".

Because you can do everything with the command line. Keyboard text input. Spoken text output.
