I clicked the link and read TFA:

For that you'll get 8GB of storage, but a 16GB model will go for $249, 32GB for $299. We're told only the 16GB and 32GB models will be shipped to the US..

So... they'll have a 8GB $200 model, somewhere, probably always sold out, and the real price will be between $249 - $299.

I've stopped downloading illegal software after finding a decent place to work years ago (so I can afford the things I need now!).

This is a total exception. I would definately use some illegal "crack" to unleash the full power of the product I bought. It was crippled at the time of purchase and I am just "fixing it".

I don't see any moral problems with this. That is why I am not posting as AC.

I've done analysis on some of the lisences for my previous company. The thing it, you can actually have trade secrets in your code with for example BSD-style lisence, where you only need to provide the acknowledgement and changes to the original source code. Sometimes not even that much. We actually chose software based on the lisencing terms. Not all lisences are that restrictive (for commercial gain).

Then again, with GPL you need to publish the full source code, so this is a moot point.

If the lisence would have been LGPL, they could easily just keep their trade secrets..

I would call it Partial Gaussian Blur. Since that is effectively what they are doing. They are blurring the sharp edges of the image.

The right balance of NAND, DRAM and an HDD yields better results than DRAM and HDDs, study finds

So.. they have NAND, DRAM and HDDs, and they choose to kill.. DRAM? What? If something is going to fade away it is the HDDs..

TFA probably uses this as source:

There are 50 cores in that Knight's Ferry. They could probably go to 80 by year's end.

That might actually be the point.

Legal online market in Finland is not selling so well. So they blame piracy.

Instead, Apple, Amazon, even Spotify are selling much more than Finnish online retailers together. Why buy from local legal online service with shitty DRM and/or high prices, when you can buy from well established American counterpart? The people in Finland can use the internet and they are just flocking to better online music providers.

They are not switching to Intel processors. They are letting Intel build their processors. Big difference.

They will just probably use Intel's advanced 22nm technology to build processors based on ARM architecture. Something they might also design themselves.

Much like GlobalFoundries is not AMD, they just manufacture AMD products.
