The push is happening over the holidays, things are in embargo now.

One of the engineers casually mentioned that his Quest had been rooted... which means that someone, somewhere can make a clean firmware replacement.

RTX series cards have a dedicated VirtualLink VR connector on them for the next generation of VR/AR headsets. It's a single USB-C port capable of delivering power as well as ultra high def video signals needed for intensive VR. Nvidia will market it very hard when next-gen headsets hit the market.

Reminds me of the time a Toyota Tundra pickup truck towed the Space Shuttle Endeavor... https://www.motor1.com/news/34...

I drilled holes into a shiny new ultrabook and installed microswitches and buttons from an old iPhone, then wired them in parallel with volume buttons and remapped volume in the OS to mouse click. This was so that I could have ergonomically friendly mouse buttons instead of the godforsaken Apple-style clickpad that it came with.

Someone told me this girl will become a billionaire if she can figure out how to make a heat-based car engine out of Peltier tiles. I replied with a long sigh and this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_engine The Stirling engine was invented in 1816.

1. Float rumors of an absurd cash distribution to fuel stock speculation. 2. Insist that it is unrelated to recent bad PR about labor practices or upcoming bad PR about trademark infringement, timing is just coincidence. 3. Maintain RDF at all costs!

What's more revealing is that Apple has not disputed the number.

Well, the Playbook got FIPS 140-2 certification back in July, and I believe is still the only tablet to have it. Which means when the government wants an approved tablet, there's only one on the list.

I'm kindof excited to finally have an rtos device in my hands, that I can develop for without learning proprietary C or ASM. 99cent iFart is great and all, but I want to build $99 iSecureMedialRecords or $99,999,999 iCIA

sounds like an industrial strength, secure platform that might actually be adopted by governments, enterprise companies, medical, etc. not sure how it will be marketed to education and gaming though, except by showing nice 3d framerates

Does it have electrolytes?

The device is worn about the face such that the evil stun rays are deflected or neutralized with specially formulated optical shields. The shields are cut into larger-than-eye circles for moderate peripheral protection and counterbalanced against the defender's ears. Some sort of plastic composite is used for the frame to provide wearer comfort and reduce costs.

The official patent title is stated above but a nickname has already caught on around the office: "sunglasses"

actually it was my hyperthreading that empowered the extra thrashing of cache

...so you can drop calls twice as fast.
