   I don't think it could support it could support SMP since it would require on chip support, which isn't there now. Also, the cache coherence traffic/noise at 512 cpus would be serious problem anyway.

   1920 widescreens are not really wide enough for a webpage and a code window. A 2560 widescreen is the obvious answer but they cost 3 to 4 times as much.

   most non-wide screen 17 and 19inch monitors were 1280x1024 which was 5:4 which is even more square. I'd happily buy two 1:1 monitors (no one makes an affordable monitor with more than 2048 pixels wide).

   I think Apple does that on purpose, they never seem to have more than about 3 choices for their devices (the paradox of choice? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Paradox_of_Choice ) 2 sizes of iPod Nanos (you also pick the color) 3 sizes of

   1. Find some people who are smarter than you and know the type of stuff you want to know. 2. Get to a point where they see you as a peer (by reading, discussing, solving problems etc.) 3. Go to #1

   I think software is part of the disruption, some apps will appear on the iPad that are better than those on the Mac. Apple's tight control means a simpler experience for most, there is no malware, spyware or viruses for iOS AFAIK. The iPad

    Well Google will surely do it first. I've already edited code using my iPod touch, via a SSH client - it was slow because of the small screen and on screen keyboard, but I had to fix an error on the live site and had no computer to hand. I

    People are already talking about using the iPad itself to do development, it does after all support a VGA out and bluetooth keyboard already. It would enable a whole new generation of developers on the platform who can't afford a Mac mini i

    Well in the U.K. we have a very easy system that tells you age of the car based on the number plate. Despite this, very few women know the ages of the cars they see. If the car is clean and a good make, they don't know the difference. If no

    Are those the people that really created the products you use today though? Tim Berners Lee may have created the web, but he created it without fonts tags, images, layout and so on. The web exists because of the millions of people who put a
