China's CO2 gas emissions per capita are about a third of that from the US. If you consider that China's industry probably contributes significantly more than their automobiles, it shouldn't be hard to realise that the summary was probably right. In America almost every family can afford cars. Not true in most Asian societies. (Yes there are exceptions, such as Singapore, hence I said most.)

The resolution is 0.08 arcseconds. That translates to it being able to resolve 150m objects on the moon. You'd need a really big thumb I guess.

As bad as some of the Phoronix articles can be, they have contributed a lot to the community. After all, they played a pivotal role in setting up openbenchmarking.org, and are pretty much the only source of Linux hardware reviews.

While that is true, it doesn't matter due to how easily audio formats can be converted, unlike many analogies raised here about competing hardware formats.

Its not a hardware difference, unlike VHS and BETAMAX. Conversion is possible.

The main advantage of clouds, where you can access your data anywhere, can be just as easily achieved by a home server, for example. And nowadays, just about any computer, even a Intel Atom PC drawing less power than a tungsten bulb would work as a file server. Granted, it takes expertise, but setting up a basic home server can easily be automated. The only reason cloud computing is flourishing instead is hype. People don't realize if cloud computing ever becomes the norm, Google would start charging their services.

Lenovo To Launch Chinese Gaming Platform Called Ebox 71

Posted by Soulskill on Friday August 27, 2010 @05:29PM from the wide-open-market dept.

siliconbits writes "Chinese manufacturer Lenovo will build a video gaming console for the Chinese market and has already spun off a company called Eedoo Technology, including a team of 40 engineers, with the task of developing the platform. It will be called the Ebox, and will be specifically designed to recognize shapes and movement without the need for a dedicated game controller, not unlike Microsoft's Kinect."
