Comment Top Speed (auto-analogy edition) (Score 0) 142

From the Article
Itâ(TM)s sort of like arguing that because your electric car can use dramatically less fuel when driving at 80 miles per hour than a Lamborghini, it has a better engine â" without mentioning the fact that a Lambo can still go twice as fast.

Tesla Model S Plaid: top speed 320 km/h

Comment Electricity costs? (Score 1) 47

I assume that Norton or Avira determine the cost of the electricity used and perform testing to calculate the efficiency and performance of the specific computer used in their mining and present the information to the user so that they can make an informed decision on whether to turn mining on or not.

Your mindless hatred of Apple has clouded your ability to consider things rationally. You should work on that.
