i thought they started some small productions of products in asia, ereaders etc. I think they still work in it, but there is no upcoming product.

Qualcom has been working on Mirasol [0], an alternative to ePaper for a long time now. I saw it 4 years ago at Mobile World Congress and it really looks nice. Full colour screens and the more light you pump in, the better it looks. Sadly, s

I can confirm that. At least 15 years ago in Bavaria, the official statement was: "If innocents are in danger, abort the chase. Get his licence plates, broadcast his description, and we get him". Source: Was a cop back then.

sadly, like Twitter, they only use SMS based pins, which might deter users (since it costs money). I would have preferred it, if they used something compatible to the Google Authenticator. Why can't companies not use something that is out t

where did they remove the possibility? To be honest, anyone who is able to install another OS should be able to check the BIOS.

I will try to verify this with the next Win 8 Ultrabook I get for testing. I am not sure, though, at least on my desktop (with EFI Bios), my USB keyboard gets initialized right away - might be different on notebooks.

Its interesting to see how they try to cover it up. Especially BMW has researched alternative fuels, mainly hydrogen, but stopped its test fleet in 2009 [0]. Only one super expensive image car, a BMW 7, remains [1]. Audi and VW also dabbled

not really here, but i use the nickname in a lot of other places, so i should be easy to track down. but that is ok, i think.

I disagree. I know the discussion around him since he started his "hacking" career in Germany. He certainly knows how to show off and present himself, but I don't think there is much more substance to it. Attrition.org has a nice list about

my thougts on this: - Glass is new and sexy - and it has a lot of limitations that you need to work around. - Windows 8 (both ARM and x86) has a decent browser you can use to access cloud-based systems, there is not really a need to have a

I'm using Google apps for my business account and i am really annoyed that they are still not able to provide a sync tool (or a direct exchange access) for Outlook 2013. I know I could use SMTP or IMAP, but I also want to sync calendar and

and, according to about TOR [0], it is still used by the US Navy for intelligence gathering. Which is probably the best protection for the project, since those guys really care about anonymity. [0]: https://www.torproject.org/about/overvie

yes, but that is the problem with all (popular) messengers. Just look at the flaws of WhatsApp. Or, do you trust Google, Microsoft (Skype) or Apple?

I think MS is as bad as Apple. They learned/copied a lot from Apple over the last year when it comes to marketing. Including the highly annoying "No comment".

Is it a tablet? If yes, show her the "swipe with the right thumb from right to left" to open the charms bar. It is pretty natural, because both thumbs should also be in the correct position if she holds the tablet in landscape mode. With Pa

i think it will be interesting to see how this works. I'm not 100 percent sure, but i think the store basically cannot update apps and functions outside its modern UI jail, right?

Press "Windows" key. Get full screen start menu with improved search function.

plus, i don't think Gartner, IDC etc have included the financial crisis that a lot of countries/people/companies face. In my opinion, a lot of big buyers (governments, enterprises) postponed buying new PCs for a year or two.

I am using Windows 8 on a non touch notebook for a time now (including the pre-versions). I find that the Modern UI in my daily work is irrelevant, I think of it as full-screen start menu. I wouldn't change back to Windows 7 (and I loved Wi

Yes, printed maybe. I don't see a reason why it shouldn't print, especially if you scale it down. But, does it also work? And by work I mean not blow your hands of if you try to shoot? I'm not sure the smaller printers get the material as d

You can always use gimp, although I am not sure what a design software has to do with a political system. Adobe probably doesn't get a lot of your taxes.

Same here. I use the Creative Cloud for a year now and I wouldn't change back. The pricing model is perfect for me as it is way easier to claim taxes on smaller, monthly installments. Plus, I really prefer cloud downloads to disks. No lost

Have you tried Lightroom? I prefer it for photo editing, the process is way more streamlined.

In all fairness, I don't think secure boot has the IT pros in mind. It targets the vast majority of IT users who have no clue at all and install every crap they can find on their systems. I recommend you take a look at this document by the
