X220 is not available anymore, X230 is. And if I configure it close to the Macbook [ssd, bluetooth, display, web cam, etc.] - it's almost as expensive - which leaves me with a tough decision :(

Actually - no offense - I'm looking for specific info on the drivers on this system than a generic response. I've heard far too often 'depends on driver/acpi support' to go down that road again :) Which specific system are you basing your a

Fingerprinter - same questions for you on the Lenovo x220 you use 1. What's the battery life like? 2. Are all devices supported with drivers - Bluetooth, 3D, graphics, sleep/wake, 802.11n, webcam, internal mike, ... 3. Does it do instant sl

On the S3/Specs - I was looking at the 4-core version on geekbench - 1853(S3) vs 1601(iPhone5). Ref: http://browser.primatelabs.com/geekbench2/1052786 Of course, since Android has multi-tasking, at least the OS can take advantage of the c

Actually - I went there expecting an insightful article on why the iPhone5 is good. Instead I got a mind-warping justification of why 4" is now great, glass vs aluminum, no mention of the Lightning plug, no mention of iOS6. If you look at G

Actually, I thought it was a point by point addressing his pretty large article dancing around the lacunae. Make no mistake - I think that the iPhone5 is an impressive piece of technology - as good or better than any other smart phone. But

Pinaceae - I am in no way disparaging Apple here. The iPhone and Apple are breaking records. What I really didn't like was the vapidness and hypocrisy of Gruber's review. Gruber's talking as if this is the second coming - when in reality th

Oh - I should have had a disclaimer. I had a first gen iPod, iPad, a Powerbook G4, a Macbook, and now a Macbook Pro. I LOVE Apple products, and am in no way disparaging the absolute impact they've had on the rest of the industry. I've influ

Wondering whether this is better or to go whole hog on 30x500. 30x500 seems to be much more likely to result in something - even though it costs 2500$.

This is not really a review - reads more like a lover on his last moments of love, desperately rationalizing things. Personally I think smartphones have almost commoditized. Apple has added ZERO product innovation this time in software or h

They still have time to file their appeal - since they're going to be filing against the whole jury verdict. Eagerly waiting for that and the groklaw review.

What are you talking about? Apple makes the Mac Pro, the iMac, Macbook Pro, Macbook Air, which are all generic computers, which anyone can (and does) copy. Do you think they would not do it since they can't patent a laptop computer, that's

Essentially the damages on copyright are now approaching 'statutory' damages, and not punitive damages or portions of profits from infringement. This was a risk Oracle took when going to a jury trial, and now Judge Alsup will hold them to i

OpenFlow is useful across cabinets. Cisco/Juniper boxes were smart, many ports, but smart only within each box. That is you had to configure each one individually. As in you could do static provisioning with a single tool across multiple

The point is that this centralization is within an org boundary, not across networks. Today, to do this, you may need to configure several switches, routers, between the server, and the source & dest of traffic to the server, while not

There is literally no equipment available in the market that does what these Google's switches do. Cisco, Juniper, et al, protecting their technology and investments into switching over the last 30 years, just didn't have the balls to kill

Slogged through it. Later chapters are very heavy - and worth their weight in gold. If you've never done Enterprise sales/mktg for a new product before, you will hear practically every objection written there. It's sad that the writing is t
