I quite like the cynical suggestion that they overclocked the devices to get decent benchmarks on release and are now dropping it back to get better battery life. Fits in with what I'd expect from Microsoft.

He's not dismissing it. He is saying we have got our priorities wrong. You are being intellectually dishonest by adopting an artificially contrarian position and trying to pretend he was saying we had to choose one or the other just, i

One problem is that warranty rights vary around the world, so any advice relating to specific rights will be irrelevant to most people.

Some personality types gravitate towards drug abuse and some types gravitate towards programming as a primary activity. The overlap between the two sets is very significant. Add in money and a tendency to have few friends, and almost certai

Is this new? I can remember wine coolers in British supermarkets in the early 90s where you placed a wine bottle into a receptacle, pressed a button and extracted a very cold bottle about 90 seconds later. I'm guessing they just circul

Betteridges Law of Headlines is applicable here. What a remarkably silly and sanctiminous piece.

Revolutions are notable because of their rarity. Were they commonplace they would be "events". 10, 20 years ago these incremental changes would indeed have seemed revolutionary but now they are just "boring upgrades". An

That's not really "enriching" life as i see it followed by more patronising rubbish. Just because something doesn't meet your needs, circumstances or prejudices it must be worthless? Oddly, I had exactly the same react

No, he is suggesting "innocent until proven guilty", you are suggesting the opposite. This is a "have you stopped beating your wife" question, what could any person say except "there is no evidence that I am untrust

Which is more important, Windows RT or iOS? The product which defined and continues to define the current tablet marketplace or something from Nokia who lost their way when they sold their soul to Microsoft? BTW I notice you submitted one o

The problem with Excel spreadsheets is that the overwhelming majority of users are not programmers or engineers, they are clerical workers with no real understanding of what they are doing. Knowledge, such as it is, is passed on in a monkey

You want some feedback? STFU! This is the fourth time you've pimped your project on this page. Give it a rest.

"I am an excellent developer, with years of experience", but seemingly unable or unwilling to complete a small practical test. Sounds to me like they are good at weeding out the wrong people.

The causal relationship is with "success", i.e. exam results and college acceptance rather than "intelligence" per se.

You badly misunderstand something. The Streisand effect is an unintended consequence whereby trying to minimise attention actually increases it. "Banksy" has known all along that maintaining the mystique of secrecy would create at

Portability usually means taking the machine as you find it. If you're pre-installing stuff then that is just configuring your environment.

And where is it implying that you can stop backing up after the replacement? Are you so dense or literal-minded that you need everything spelling out for you? "do not dry your pets in this microwave".

I installed 4.3 today on my iMac, the machine crashed twice within a couple of hours, it has never crashed otherwise in 2+ years I have owned the machine. Uninstalled, will upgrade Parallels if necessary.

You are basing this whole rant on a misguided premise. Your quote is what he claims "books seem to be saying". The article is in fact about how cliched and unimaginative TED talks on "creativity" are, proving that you ne

"The point" is that, with work, intelligence can allegedly be improved. Your comparison is false as the not-smart guy who works hard will almost always outperform the smart guy who doesn't work hard. The smart guy who works h
