It's also amazing that with over 5 billion transistors (on a high E5). It's not transistors the cause the errors but the CPU design.

I didn't feel the user interface was ready. Also, as the system is a database at heart it has to be absolutely rock solid. Planning to launch on the 5th of Feb, which is the date (4 years) since I wrecked my knee and started working on

2016 Anti-drone defenses will boom. I am surprised too that NATO troops don't use smaller drones to check for snipers and ambushes.

They've made some nice improvements with docking multiple applications, plus multiple desktops. So you can have on for work and another for play. I'm not a fan of the new Start Menu, but with pinned shortcuts to the task bar I don

The most exciting recent development in SSDs (until 3DXpoint is released), is bypassing the SATA interface, connecting drives straight into the PCIe bus (no more expensive raid controllers). Just a shame hardly any server motherboards come

It's quite scary how many startups treat Lean Startup as the gospel and follow it word for word.

There was an article on how much can your computer do 400 cycles (a cache miss) recently . I have noticed that the size of L2 caches hasn't increased anywhere near the same rate as other memory capacity. http://www.slidesha

Early days (minutes), but so far so good. I get the need too, there's always been friction in getting files from my phone to my PC.

Interesting article, I dislike vanity metrics too. Seems most stats are designed tell the best story, rather than the truth or nitty-gritty. Instead of looking at normalised stats, look at the worst offenders. Be it the URLs or the heaviest

"Planes fly by throwing air down." This is wrong. Planes actually fly by stretching air over their wings (creating low pressure) and the higher pressure air below pushes the plane up (to fill in the void) - So planes fly by moving

Vanilla SSL verifies the the website is legit, EV verifies that the business is legit. More competition will lower the price, there's tons of room for cheaper & faster EV providers.

Implement cache isn't hard conceptionally. If an object is modified, flush it from cache. If object isn't cached, build it. The problem is that implementing caching is a bit of a canary in a coal mine. If there are problems with t

Exciting times indeed, every new generation run rings around the previous! I feel bad that I'm still running an i7 2600k (@ 4.6ghz) from late 2010, but there hasn't been much need to upgrade. Maybe Skylake-E in about a years time.

It's a shame it's only for Windows Store Apps. I'd love to see what this can do to other .Net programs. Although saying that, it's quite amazing how much of the core libraries are written in C#, you what have thought it

This is why I like C# so much, you can go from LINQ & generics to pointers. So much versatility.

You would think so.. I find it strange that only specialised software (such as graphics) makes use of SIMD instructions, when much of the code inside loops could be vectorised. Running on parts of the CPU which are also under-utilised. I th

This is something they don't teach you in consultant school. There is such a thing as a bad client; one where they will never be satisfied no matter how well you deliver, even over deliver. Instead of looking at what you can do for the

The picture quality on Sky Go is horrible (no where near HD), even over fibre. Sky Go is just a token feature. For instance, you're allowed 4 devices (with Sky multiscreen) but can only add/ change one device per month.
