What I'd like to know about the two-slit experiment is how much apart those slits are from each other, and where is the photon actually targeted at? Do they aim at the middle or what? Edit: After thinking a little bit, they just shoot them

Yes, but as they said in the article, anybody can set up a virtual operator on the network, be that Nokia or anybody else. My point is that this would make it easy for Nokia to deploy on the US markets which has traditionally been the playg

This was biggest single deal of Nokia Siemens ever. This made me thinking if Nokia plans to bring carrier-free phones on the network. That's what I'd do. And.. LTE (or LTE-A) is all-ip anyway, so who needs carriers?

It's an issue but not a big deal, just put the case on. On the positive side, at least they got something to show next June.

This ought to give Nokia a strong position on the emerging LTE markets, being able to co-design devices and networks. They need more than that however to break into US smartphone markets.

I wonder if GPU hardware does it right or wrong on texture rendering. Someone care to test?

Exactly, in some areas dropped call rates could be as low as one per thousand. Adding one per hundred to this would lead in tenfold increase in dropped calls.

What? I don't really get my head around your math or I just misunderstand what you are trying to say. 1 call per 100 calls means one percentage point. Jobs said: "One or less additional dropped call per hundred calls". I don't know how I sh

They are really comparing apples to oranges in the sense that they didn't talk about the iPhone's design flaw, just RF shadowing which is obvious. There isn't any phone other than iPhone that loses the signal altogether by just touching one

It is one or less percent unit more, which means that if the 3GS drop rates are 1%, the 4 has drop rate of 2% which is 100% more dropped calls. I made some research on this and found http://arxiv.org/pdf/physics/0210022 which says basical

I wonder where that 100 Petaflops figure comes from. I suppose that does not mean IEEE-754 compliant floating-point operations, just crude approximations of some sort.

Is that actually the best book on basic algorithms or just a book that is virally recommended?

Phone calls generally work even with very bad reception. More important here is the data transfer over 3G which has been observed to slow down significantly. The "death grip" is exactly how you would hold the phone when browsing.

Hopefully we will see great non-fragmented hardware combined with great and open OS/ecosystem. Both of which Apple and Google deliver only halfway through. I'd say MeeGo is already compelling to developers purely as an experience, not so mu

I'd hope someone would test the WiFi reception too. The left-side antenna should be the one for WiFi. This seems pretty serious design flaw. Usually antennas are placed in the way that normal holding position doesn't interfere with them too

Here's one idea: Take Open Text Summarizer ( http://libots.sourceforge.net/ ) and turn it into a web application which takes in an URL and returns the same document summarized.

I don't see why anybody would need a device like that. There's an offline option in Spotify for example, and there's hardly any way you could make the experience better than that, and it's only 4.99 a month. I don't know if there's currentl

This is somewhat possible, I thought about this few years ago. I'm not sure if it helps much or at all with current compression algorithms though. Should probably give it a second some day.
