I've been following the Oculus CES coverage somewhat and by far the most in-depth interview/coverage has been by the Tested folks. Here's their video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GpNQHNkJY1g The most in-de

If you are looking for the lowest risk, you could look into some sort of annuity - you should be able to get something close to the percentage you're looking for. These things are complex and varied so you'd probably be wise to co

I'm not sure if you can make a reasonable comparison of speed if your device doesn't support LTE... Also, California is a pretty big state. In LA, we use a lot of different data devices in the office from Verizon (mostly the Pant

I'd second the Arduino - it was designed for teaching electronics, and the Wiring IDE makes it simple for anyone with a programming background to get started. There's a huge community out there so finding support through forums, t

Yeah, in theory you could build your own but having something UL rated is an advantage. AC is a lot more dangerous than DC, so you should really know what you're doing before mucking around. There are a few more components for building

There's another pretty similar Kickstarter project going on right now. It's wifi (802.11n) vs BLE - looks pretty sharp. It lacks beaconing but has a similar open API and also looks pretty well designed: http://www.kicks

Err, ok, I think it's a given that the number of computing devices in a given home will increase over time. The GP, however, (and most of the threads here) are discussing how evolving ARM will impact/encroach on the existing x86 m

While there's a certain class of PCs that won't be much affected anytime soon (high-end gaming, workstations), ARM is already inching into the HTPC/home server space. There are a bunch of i.MX6-based boards w/ GigE, SATA

While I can sympathize, the Nexus line's promise has always been shifting... Vanilla Android and timely updates were what Google were pushing for the GNex, but these days it seems to mostly be serving as vague mid-range price pressure

Like everyone else (with any common marketing sense), it seems like something like "security" or "privacy" would be much more positive connotations than "dark." A quick search shows SecureMail and PrivateMail a

Wells, it seems like drastically lowering costs for tools would if anything, increase demand for pathology expertise. Also, Ozcan's work has mostly been focused on developing countries - opening up new markets if you want to look at it

The closest equivalent on the GPUs for the D300 (same SP count, slight clock bump, less RAM) is the W7000, which goes for about $650/ea right now. Part for part, the new Mac Pro is very well priced, but like others have mentioned you c

You get ECC RAM, but mostly you're paying for drivers. They are usually slower for gaming, but provide better accuracy and usually crush consumer cards in pro performance. Interestingly enough, EFI flashing a RadeonHD 7970 gets it reco

FYI, the cheapest PCIe SSD card I could find, a 240GB OCZ RevoDrive 3 will cost you ~$600 (while IOPs weren't specified, a +1GB/s RW was mentioned in the keynote). As you mentioned, much of the cost is in the (extra) GPU (roughly

These new lower end E5 16xxs are essentially Core i7s and priced about equivalently[1]. The 26xx's are much beefier (I think people were expecting 26xx's across the line but matching specs[2], this is obviously not the case). I&#x

Out of curiosity, I ran some BI numbers and arrived at a similar figure ($2.9T/yr, 17% of GDP, 81% of the entire federal budget). I dug into some numbers to try to figure out what kind of tax rate you'd need to make that work. It&
