The emulator is unusably slow on my Core2Duo. Launching the browser spikes 100% cpu then timesout. Anybody have better luck on a modern i7?

Actually Engadget are sticklers for attribution, when reblogging an article they sometimes have two links; both {Via} and up the chain to {Source} It is hard to see it if you are not used to the page design. I do find the pages heavy on en

FUD. All the Tegra 2 stuff at CES was hardware accelerated and the Motorola Atrix even played video @1080p over the hdmi port

Google dropped their own O3D plugin to adopt the open standard WebGL. They also sunsetted Google Gears to push HTML5 offline storage (some say prematurely) They also based their browser around Webkit which is promoted by their main rival A

I'm sure it will sell well, and I know how much current iPhone users hate the AT&T network, but after four generations of iPhones are there really that many people who wanted one that have been holding back? In the UK you can get iPho

Thank you for following up. Much of that will be the rotary drive and unfair to compare to an SSD. For what it is worth, I do like Intel, my Core 2 Duo is so good it will tide me over until Ivy Bridge (22nm).

If true I am impressed, I thought the accompanying chipset pushed the baby Atoms up to ~12w total. Anyway, the Tegra 2 is <2w for complete SoC including the both cores, nvidia gfx, ram and 1Gb storage. e.g. http://www.netbooknews.com/4

People have been complaining for years that open-source is always designed by committee and lacking a coherent vision. It still has all the benefits of trust, forkability, hackability and control over your own future.

Yeah my old man actually asked me to install it after getting slowed down by viruses. All he needs is Chrome and VLC. The little thing pops up when he plugs in a camera too. Bosh.

Linux is a way of life, like healthy eating or meditation, and it is not for everyone. When a new version of something open-source unfolds it is not because Christmas is around the corner or some other marketing bullshit; someone has poured

NaCl works on both ARM and x86 using the same downloadable bytecode. The long term goal seems to be to translate the bytecode in the client using a sandboxed LLVM to target the local architecture See the following video from the recent LLVM

Yes the memory usage in 0.3.3 is much better. I don't know how much is node and how much is the switch to v8 3 Although https is broken in git at the moment due to a rewrite

If you look in the Ubuntu repos for a package called gtk-recordmydesktop I believe that is popular for making screencasts. If you want to edit the video I think PiTiVi is installed by default. I hear OpenShot is also good for beginners.
