Since Pixel 6a major updates support ends on July 2025, this means owners are likely to get it as well. Kind of a good news if Google doesn't screw it up.

It's not the first time they are using the "Radeon" brand for non-GPU hardware; for over a year now they have RAM also.

Might want to check OMNet++ as well then, it's probably not as complete, but it's free and you can build your own modules.

I would probably take the extra time to do exactly the same thing I've been doing regarding my current reincarnation: ask myself why the hell do I keep prolonging my stay here ...

Salt is now good for both water AND data rentention YAY!

Companies don't force anyone, people's ego does ... big difference. Stop defining yourself by what you own, but by who you are and you should be fine :P

Can Dell/Apple survive in a mostly user-serviceable components future? They would probably do much worst that NewEgg in a (very doubtful) post-PC era.

If that site doesn't ring an alarm, them perhaps you should teach your children right-way to stay away from vans like this one as common-sense doesn't seem to be in your genes.

I'm also sure the PC as we know it will disappear or at least change radically, but probably not in the next 10 years. Their mainstream adoption, in the meantime, will probably fall back to the same proportion as people who had PC in the 90's; people who wanted PC because they wanted a PC, not because it became a common household item and a commodity.

Ultimately, I think the trend will go toward wearable computers and perhaps personal household servers when people realize the "cloud" is probably just that: vapor. You will probably end-up with some kind of G modem on your belt, a display/keyboard on your wrist and an earpiece, all connected to your home-server and/or cloud.

Ok, and that very unlighted comment comes from where? ETS has an excellent placement rate, I think over 95% so I have no worry for them. I studied there and had no trouble finding a job either.

I would have to agree on that one. For me, price is the major show-stopper as I would love nothing more than have my stuff in HD, however, there is no way in hell I'm going to pay 50-100% more just for that (considering I don't even have a surround sound system to benefit from that aspect). To me, HD should be 10-25% more at most, or just make it a fixed 5$ more :P.

Looking at the spec, I'm sure this PC isn't able to run all the current top games (unless you run at minimum resolution/settings at which point most games will look better on a 300$ PS3). The PC uses an ATI 5670 which was never, even at release date, considered a gaming card; even in XFire this thing would probably not deliver. Had the build included a 5770 and then added a 2nd one later on, the claim could hold some ground, but not this one.

Still it's a nice triple display setup.

Isn't that the case for almost everything? We have many "observed" universal behaviors, but did anyone really break the fundamental working to explain the universe? For instance, I think nobody has been able to explain gravity; I think they tried to explain it using a particle called graviton, but nothing was ever proven.

Moreover, many things were actually discovered before they could be explained. At one point, unless it can be dangerous (which could apply in this case), the fact that it simply works should be enough for most people.

I must admit it's hard to dismiss this SEC document that states that only ~43% of revenue comes from subscription. But even using those numbers it would mean that at least 30% of their revenue comes from misinformed customers :P

I think Wikileak should plead guilty and be willing to provide the man with proper equipment to make sure he can live peacefully from now on.
