I'll sound pessimistic / sceptic here, but this seems just a normal Android tablet with a LCD 60Hz screen and a special color profile configuration to mimic an e-Ink screen. But it's not an e-ink display as Malik mentions, that's for sure. I could (and be delighted to) be wrong, but this seems to me an overpriced, overhyped tablet. We'll see if we don't have here another Theranos/Juicero scenario.

It seems these robots were already in use in 2020.

It's not getting twice the RAM. There were three models (1 GB -> $35, 2 GB -> $45, 4 GB -> $55). The 2 GB version has just become cheaper and it's now at the same price as the 1 GB version that will still be available for "industrial clients". The USB-C fix was discovered (not clearly announced) a few weeks earlier, and I guess there will still be 2 GB RPis without the fix on sale for some time. The 1.2 revision fixes the problem and you can check that out with a simple 'cat /proc/cpuinfo', as explained on CNX Software. Anyway, both are greathttps://linux.slashdot.org/story/20/02/27/1520258/raspberry-pi-4-linux-computer-gets-twice-the-ram-and-usb-c-power-fix?utm_source=slashdot&utm_medium=twitter# news for the RPi community, that's for sure.

Well, there was a clear battle between them and The Register. Both have been kind of two sides of the same coin, but I guess The Reg was the popular one. In fact the founder was Mike Magee, who was (I think) cofounder of The Reg, so the analogy is clear. There's no special reason for promotion, just wanted to share my personal story with the site, which was beyond the normal reader one. That makes the site a little special for me. Not necessarily better or worse than others. Just special, that's all.

I was Chief Editor of The Inquirer ES, the Spanish adaptation of the original site, which started in June'06. It was my first job as an editor for an online, digital-only media source, as all my career was centered on printed magazines before that. Didn't know the publication that well until I started the job, but it grew on me personal and profesionally. It had a different way to tell the tech news. Somewhat irreverent, somehwat funny, most of the times brief and not quite detailed (at least during my time leading the Spanish site). We could not compete with the Engadgets, Gizmodos, AnandTechs, TomsHardwares or ArsTechnicas of the world, I guess, so the goal was quite different. I liked to see it as a really quick and easy way to take a look at what was happening on a daily basis on the tech world. And doing it in a fun and entertaining way, I guess. So for me The Inquirer was quite far from the best source to look for deep reviews or opinionated pieces. There were other sites to read those kind of pieces. The Inq and its particular language was, I'd say, an 'extended', funny Twitter prequel to follow what was happening at that time. I was there for 4 years, but the site died in Spain a few years later and dissapeared from the publisher, NetMediaEurope. My 8.407 posts there during that time are now part of the Silicon.es archive, so at least they (still) haven't vanished. Hopefully The Inquirer archive will be available somehow, maybe through archive.org. Goodbye, The Inq, and goodbye to the team too. You did well. Thanks for the ride.

Seems to be a little different. It's a 25 minute video that has been compressed in that GIF, so the effect is 'dramatized'. https://www.livescience.com/62... According to that report, the GIF, impressive as it is, is somewhat misleading.

I've been following the matches with the same expectation and anger I felt in 1997 during the Kasparov & Deep Blue rematch. The final result has been similar, and although it has been well reasoned that chess and go are pretty different games and Deep Blue and AlphaGo are pretty different machines, the bittersweet sensation is identical. I had a naive hope in the human superiority just for a little more time. I was pretty sad after the final game: Lee Sedol seemed really disappointed and sad himself. I can't imagine the pressure he's felt throughout the event, and his face -that's my impression- seemed to tell us "I've failed you all". He later told in the press conference that he felt he could have done more in the games -I'm sure he'd like to play more games to test himself again- and I wonder what could have happened if the matches would have been played without general knowledge. Feeling that kind of coverage must have been really stressful. If you ever read this, Mr. Sedol, thank you. And please, don't ever feel disappointed, you've done a fantastic job.

Exactly. There seems to be more than a coincidence here http://www.wsj.com/articles/it... The choice of Naples is what strikes me.

Seems a good bet if you want reliability: in the last paragraph of Guru3D's review, they say:

the AMD Radeon R7 SSD series is very fast, has a greatly refined Barefoot controller with accompanying firmware and Toshiba's latest A19nm NAND flash memory. It is a product you'll like and use for a long time. I also dare to state that it is one of the most reliable product on the market anno 2014, combined with the excellent new ShieldPlus warranty this is a pure win in our book, and as such it comes very much recommended by Guru3D.com

Maybe an OCZ with a sticker, but who cares, really? Quality product, good price. Not much to hate here.

There's a little mistake in this article. Mark Shuttleworth stepped down from his CEO position in 2009, to "focus my Canonical energy on product design, partnerships and customers".

What would you ask to Richard Stallman if you had to interview him? :)
