No one ..start of 2013 you will be able to get it with a mobile contract in the UK.. so not 8gbp and who knows why they banded about that figure then. Future looks bright, though. FTA; "The catch You won’t be able to get the txtr beagle as

Considering it lists usb3 and 1.7GHz, both of which are unique to Ex5, i'm pretty certain that must have just been a mistake.

And yet everyone goes on about an ipad being a 'cheap laptop alternative'. This isn't for everyone, but it definitely has a great niche. It has USB3, HDMI, 1366x768 screen, no moving parts and 6.5 hour battery life. Putting the time differe

I agree it is very confusing to figure out the exact intent from the text. In the model i suggested you would look up and input a code that referred to a song, and it would start the recorder when that song was played (working like traffic

It is easy to think of this from today as something like spotify or usenet, but in many ways it does not sound so far from MTV (1981) with PDC[0] and a PDC tape recoder. He appears to describe a system of music streams which could be subscr

Interesting that they haven't used their new logo when announcing their new site design.

This is more 'dissecting the landing page'. Paul's comment there was by far the most interesting part. I was looking for more of a how people got to the site etc.. but i suppose it was mostly just [YC] > [HN/Reddit] > [TechCrunch] &

Kickstarter is definitely the existing sole-arbiter of crowd sourcing funding. They have brought massive crowds to YC companies so i think it is a significant move to walk away from that to save 5%.

> We won’t charge your card until your Lockitron is ready Interesting.. so you don't even need the money for the first production run, pure crowd-hype marketing. Also very ballsy of YC to sidestep kickstarter like this.. although i su

I agree the problem of ultrabooks is price.. they are far more expensive than the previous generation of ultra-portables. I see this as just like the tablet market was; trying not to knock down the high price apple had set. But an iPad does

From what I have seen hard drives are pretty much back to pre flood prices now in $/GB terms, there has just been 18 months of price progress gone. Meanwhile SSDs have done a hell of a lot of catching up.

It is not moot when considering whether to use facebook's services or not (which is what OP was talking about).

Did/would you consider a tablet(/netbook) running linux instead, /why? ..do you use the touch interface much, above and beyond basic clicking?

Well, i'm not aware of it existing on 'windows rt' (no one has it for starters), but firefox works on both linux ARM and windows x86, so i'm sure that could be ported without too much trouble.

IIRC 'bic' is used primarily in France. These companies trying to stop the use of their name seem crazy to me (unless they are 'complaining' just to get some more press). So much promotion.

There really aren't any proper reviews of stuff like this; there may be some by people on YT that scratch surface, but there can be small issues that don't get a mention[1]. Your best bet is to ask on android tablet forums, and/or stick to

As i stated in a reply to a sibling, DX aren't a great place to go for these. Start looking at ipadalternative, merrimobiles, pandawill. but do your own research WRT the sellers reputations.

dealextreme really aren't at the cutting edge of things in this market. They are trading on the fact that they have 'brand-awareness' and trust and that people assume they are the cheapest. Reality is they have a bunch of out of date stock

I know this is primarily about contract vs non, but my god it is expensive.. particularly the memory upgrades £170 for 64GB chips over 16GB.. almost 6 (six!) times what a 64GB SSD or SD-card would cost. And that is at launch . Could anyone

I would say ARM have expertise in 'designing for manufacture' which is distinct from the actual manufacturing, but lets say they have no expertise in 'production manufacturing'. While Samsung does indeed contain a bunch of largely separate

1. Go to reddit.com/r/science 2. Pick an article 3. Go to comments to find out why the outlandish claim is wrong Similarly politics, news; although a lot of that is selection.
