If you think apple are going to go out of their way to avoid obsolescence, especially over an all-in-one, clean experience, you have been watching a very different apple to me over the last 10 years. (and i have an iPod with a flat battery

It's not that they 'don't understand' it is that they don't WANT to be (seen as) a dumb pipe. Funnily, they quite like charging ~10c for a text message that costs ~0.0001c in data, etc. Price only competition isn't attractive. It's about ti

There are a lot of variables that need to be balanced.. high energy density (both mass and volume), decent lifetime (charge cycles, unused degredation), charge/discharge time, suitable voltage range, availablility of materials, non-tox

LiFePO4 is not a new (as in research) technology (i came across it when looking into eBikes).. It's just lithium ion battery with a lithium iron phosphate cathode. In practice, this means it trades a little power density for a little longer

It's also helpful that one of the guys involved owns a PCB manufacturer!

100 seems reasonable for QA when you are planning on making >10K right after. They are auctioning these 100 boards (populated).

The UK is definitely a special case cf. the rest of Europe. For one, there is common language to consider. Secondly, it appears the UK makes up the next largest userbase after the USA. It is as if to say 'why separate Canada from the US'. S

Changing it to a much more prominent black doesn't fit with the idea that they were planning to ditch it at that time, to me.

Thats quite a nice improvement you got there. Care to elaborate on what happened (who said what, etc) between walking out and getting the offer?

The question is not 'is it Germany's fault' but rather what is in the best interests of germany. The Euro failing is surely not. Particularly as Germany has unprecendented strength within the EU today.

This is not a simple issue. The costs of financing debt are going through the roof. Austerity is killing growth which becomes a vicious circle as tax receipts fall. So the German policy of waiting (however well reasoned) makes the problem w

Really like the idea of this but it is SO far away from '90% of jquery'. I tried using it on my site (with all parts) and litterally NONE of the jquery worked. There is no hover support, no 'attr', no animation and val doesn't work with che

Noted (can't edit anymore). Thats a shame, especially given the high res display. Having said that, there is really not widespread use of the GPUs out there today. I hope that will change, but 3d gaming on phones (especially that pushes the

You have somewhat proved my point in that some how 'pixel density' is often used as the go-to stat. It makes no sense to hold this in higher standing than the actual pixel count-- nobody is asking for smaller screens with the same resolutio

I can't believe how much everything is still framed around the iphone. I think its crazy to call this phone just 'competetive' with the iphone 4S; especially the screen-- it is clearly a significant step up IMO. ICS is surely at a point whe

Why is it that people have so many diverse opinions that aren't fully informed when it comes to energy?? It may have one benefit, but 30 seconds on wikipedia informs me that it requires 5 times the mass and 20 times the volume of lithium io

1000 times this. I have been waiting a decade to be able to search for '1/2' or '6' 3"' or '£3.50' (not necessarily numbers, you get the point i'm sure), and i was dissapointed to find this post wasn't announcing that.

Thanks for mentioning that, very interesting. Link for the lazy: http://www.volumerates.com/product/genuine-tp-link-tl-wr703n... The 32MB of ram restricts the applications quite a bit unfortunately. Amazing to think the impact of these lo

I believe they were implying the R Pi may have cost $100 with a more compact board.

Rasberry Pi is not a project run by broadcom, just using their SoC (and featuring one of their employees). They are selling the first round to nerds / hardware hackers, and I doubt many others will choose to pay 4x the price to keep using t

They are selling them to anyone, these are not another OLPC. As for programming abstraction; that is a ship that sailed long ago!

There is nothing in your post that would give me any interest in what you are doing if i were a sales person (i'm not). All i know (postively) is that you have an app, like 1000's of other people. OTOH, it is a co-founder position (although

>you get about 4W savings all the time, ie. 20W for the full array. It would either be ~2W or ~7W. Relevant to bear in mind the TB 2.5inch drives have more platters than standard height 2.5" so will use more power. 5x2.5" Drives = 2.9W
