Apple obviously has sales numbers for 10g on the existing consumer products that offered it. I imagine it hasn't been a big seller.

They reaped billions in profits. The issue is that organizations can't turn it on and off based on competition, once you are rich and lazy, the organization fills up with coasters and before they know it they no longer have a higher ge

I'd say the opposite, this increases the speed of such apps to closer to what is now native speed.

At least the Soylent thing more or less died off. In a way it's comforting to know that the übermenschen on HN are as fad-prone as anyone.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is that skeuomorphism is back, baby! Updated icons for things like the iSuite apps are a step backwards, the old design was more coherent visually across the suite. Maybe we'll fully return to si

Intel mentally isn't anywhere near the rock bottom they would need to be to admit inferiority to AMD by actually underpricing them even though they easily have the margin to do so. This might even be the right strategy if they think th

ASROC could be launched from a submarine against other submarines. And a missile can be launched over the horizon and change it's approach angle radically before closing with the target. The Shkval basically can only travel in a straig

Why this is as advantage as a weapon over a submarine just launching a conventional missile which can be 10x the speed of the supercavitating torpedo. A Harpoon missile has a warhead almost the exact same size as a Shkval, twice the speed a

It's commonly understood by even a child that an armored military vehicle belongs in a war zone. Having one driving around your home town sends the message that you live in a war zone, and guess what - you, the citizen, are the enemy.

You must be living in Brigadoon or you live in a jurisdiction driving very old cop cars. Ford hasn't made the police Crown Vic in almost a decade, every force in metro Chicago now drives around in midsize SUVs. I don't see militar

The current system in the US is a virtuous cycle - companies like Purdue make tens of billions creating a huge population of addicts, and then the resulting crime justifies the expansion of heavily militarized police to wage war "on dr

I assume the strawman you are propping up is a mobile phone. There is a significant difference there of course, which is that the phone performs a function impossible to obtain in any other way, namely mobile telephony. The "smart spea

I had the same thought and was reminded of how old that makes me. Those books were corny as hell but the fact that the hero saved the day with his wits made an impression on me as a young lad.

I wish they would fix the bug in Catalina where you can't restore to Mail from TM backups, it won't access any available backups. If you go into ~/Library/Mail and manually locate the account, it will access previous ver

It's been a couple of decades since we saw people praising an Intel offering for being able to compete with AMD. Have to hand it to Lisa Su. Maybe having an engineer running an engineering company is actually a good idea.

Adobe is in full monopolist mode, where they have lock-in and can force users to pay for not just poor functionality, but disasters like this. Bridge 2020 is more or less totally broken on Catalina, and has been since release almost a year
