It's not just graphics, although the PS4 definitely looks better than PS3 when connected to an expensive TV. The extra processing power also enables games to provide better quality of life. The PS3 classic Dark Souls routinely went below 20 FPS, while PS4's Dark Souls Remastered is three times smoother at 60 FPS. The PS4 version of Valkyria Chronicles loads three times faster than the PS3 version.

Steam apps are not cross-platform unless the developer builds support for that platform into their app. Most Steam games run only on Windows.

The human eye's resolution depends on how far away you expect the screen to be. A VR display, which takes up your entire visual field, could easily use 8K or 10K resolution for an appreciable increase in quality.

Millarworld does not own the rights to Old Man Logan, and Mark Millar is not involved with the current Old Man Logan comics. Millar wrote the original miniseries for Marvel, but only his original properties now belong to Netflix.

The parts of the brain that most of us would like to be technologically enhanced - memory, facial recognition, mental math - are very poorly understood. Even if we had a device allowing us to fire neurons on command, we have no idea how to write a program that helps with these problems.

Musk is smart to focus on medical applications, where even an implant that functions poorly is much better than the alternative. It's a lot easier to make a pacemaker than to perform a heart transplant, and the same holds true for the brain.

The PC exclusive Ashes of the Singularity is a standard in graphics benchmarks, including the one from the article. Even clearly console-oriented games like Dark Souls 3 are significantly better in graphical quality, framerate and load times with expensive hardware like this.

That's why Microsoft is sweetening the deal by adding its own first-party titles like Halo 5, just like Netflix became increasingly reliant on its own new content.

They don't. Generally, anyone working a blue-collar job in San Francisco is commuting from far out of town.

Agreed - the client contact is the key bit. My job (business analyst) is in the same boat: most of the grunt work can easily be automated, but the real reason they pay me is to listen to people's stories and figure out what they really want, even though they lack the training to articulate it. Even in 20 years, a computer will have a hard time ignoring the reason you *said* you came to the office, and acting based on the real reason you're here.

Studies reveal that humans are also able to survive without a functioning X-Gene.

Same thing - prevented me from finishing the survey.

When I choose an operating system, I can't choose to have the Linux kernel plus the OSX GUI plus DirectX libraries. I have to consider the total package. As an ordinary consumer, my priorities are as follows:

1. Attractive, intuitive and jargon-free GUI
2. Instant compatibility with the programs and devices I already use
3. Everything else

So you can see why Linux's improved virtualization options are not cornering the market.

A gun has legitimate and illegitimate purposes, but assault rifles are still banned. If the only reasonable purpose for a crack is piracy, "it's just a tool" isn't a valid defense.
