That a quad core A15 is required to run the desktop convergence is a bit disappointing to me, although with the rate of progress in the ARM world i suppose it won't be an issue for long (ie. requiring expensive cutting edge devices with poo

I agree with the point that there is a lack of respect for designers in the area, and IMO more significantly, they would not be allowed full control of design; hard work could easily be ruined by differing opinions. But FFS why did you have

Nice. So AFAICT, this improves over the 'usual' way of running linux on android as it shares the filesystem instead of using a chroot, meaning the linux side has access to everything. But X still can't run via android so it uses a remote de

The suggestion was that you can retain the recovery partition contents on another drive (eg a USB drive), which is something that supposedly can't be done on the MBA. [e: maybe you can.. although the link does not make it clear that it can

Great move from google, no doubt the move will birth some future employees! I take it at this point that the model A is effectively dead?

You are (thankfully!) not the sole decider of what is intellectual or not. I attacked the frankly deluded points you made, addressing them directly, so i'm not sure what point you thought you were making. I made no counter argument becaus

Your description of how apple is on a noble quest to bring the personal computer to the poor of the world through the '$50 computer' that is an ipod shuffle is so far from reality in so many different ways that you are verging on a parody

More specifically, it's just the nexus 4 (and 10?). Does this mean that HTML apps (phonegap etc) will use the chrome engine on the nexus 4?

No hijacking, it's good to hear others' opinions. Tend to learn a lot from (software) discussions here. The thread is dead effectively for a while anyway now. The way i see it, a minimum expectation (for 'universal' coverage scenarios) is:

These lack the real advantage of HTML/CSS/JS apps though, which is that you can make one responsive app and package it for all desktop and mobile platforms.

I think the parent post is too strong, but numbers are by no means the only way of showing a bias. Whilst i believe he tries to be objective, Anand may hold a slight bias towards intel. Take the discussion of the future; he talks of the adv
