On the other hand the article says 10x the density of conventional memory. Not sure how that compares to NAND density

Isn't NAND approaching its theoretical limit on density? From the article it sounds like the biggest benefit will be the increased density

I'd call it more a case of "work in progress". They both still exist, but more and more settings are moving into the new "modern UI" settings.

No way they'll have this completely transitioned by RTM (not even sure if they are planning to transition everything)

There are ways of dealing with this scenario. The simplest being, don't keep the information on the laptop. After entering the country, use VPN or some other secure means of downloading the data.

Admittedly there are likely scenarios where this would be problematic (classified info?), but for most business related cases I would think this would be an acceptable workaround.
 

Apparently I'm doing it wrong too. The money sucks and I traded in my soul.

I have some tiger repellant spray I can sell you. It works wonderfully, as evidenced by the fact that there are no tigers around me.

Umm, what if my car doesn't have a key. Kinda hard to turn a non-existent key. Lots of manufacturers are shifting to push button start/stop with an RF based fob for authentication

Ask and you shall receive: This guy is suing because the cops demanded that he consent to them occupying his house. When he refused, they sent a team to take his house by force and arrested him.

Except that Pandora doesn't exactly stream live radio. They generate content streams customized to the listener (or in the case of the genre "stations" specific to that genre). So yeah the closest Pandora could get would be a few million cds and some sort of switching mechanism for the stream.

They pay for access to the content, plus a per play fee. Really don't see how the ruling could be in any way applied to Pandora

Oh if only this were true!

The code base I'm currently working with mixes the hairiest aspects of C and C++ in a single file. And this isn't old code either, its maybe a year old and causing me nothing but grief.

Why Not? Nothing wrong with a dark house, and saves on the electric bill (even if only a little)

There have been at least four versions of the PS3 that had a subset of features (other than hard drive space) that would cause consumers to differentiate between them:

1.) Original - had essentially a PS2 inside of it (emotion engine chip, etc) for full hardware compatibility of PS2 games. 4 USB ports.

2.) Update - had software emulation for PS2 games. 4 USB ports.

3.) Update 2 - no capability to play PS2 games (can still play PS1 games), 2 USB ports, no media card reader.

4.) Slim - no capability for PS2 games, 2 USB ports, bigger hard drives and smaller footprint.

I have a (3), and I really miss playing PS2 games. But I just can't abide controller cords strewn across the living room anymore.

The reason they removed it was to force people to move on to the next platform. For the first few years of the PS3's cycle, they were still selling more PS2's. I understand, and I'm ok with that, but I think that they've accomplished their goal now.

I really, really, really wish they'd release a software package in the PSN store that you could buy in order to be able to play PS2 games. Hell, I'd pay $50 for it.

A Linksys WRT54G with DD-WRT installed will do it quite nicely.

Which is why going public is a mixed bag - it provides capital to invest in your products and employees, but it introduces a 3rd party into the matrix - instead of just caring about the employees and customers, you now have to also care about the shareholders.

Funny story...

Facebook is using their photo tagging system to build the world's best facial recognition software.

Oh wait, that's not funny.
