    Smoke and Mirrors, and getting the smoke back in

    Their use to be a running joke from the days gone by that electronic components ran on smoke and that if the smoke was let out it would be the end of the equipment (of course DELL reaffirmed this idea a few years back with the Taco Dell models of their laptops) This innovative company has come...

    opinions on game (general software as well)

    Or at least disassemble it, so its not just showing the surface but the guts! The surface tear down has an interesting battery pack obviously it's not the standard laptop 18650 pack based design but a lithium polymer battery (thin). That tiny camera is 1280x720p (seriously). What was kind of...

    Flash storage (interesting article)

    They are predicting flash storage as the next big thing for business usage apparently. I am uncertain how they are overcoming the issue of wear on flash storage especially since it's life AND it's write count have both decreased. (IE from 40 to 10 years and 100000 to 3000 writes). Cyb

    Mozilla (FireFox et al)

    Is it just me or is the new versioning for Firefox completely senseless? It's gone from v 3/4 to 14 in only what 8/9 months? I tried to figure out what they were thinking, and it looks as if they were thinking that 'changing the versioning faster would show faster developement'. Anyone else do...

    An interesting article on Programming (short)

    I found this article today and it brought into perspective how ungrateful many people are and also ignorant of the hard work it requires to make good software. Many people make light of the hard work that goes into making software by ignoring just how much software is in use. Even a battery...

    Halide for parallelism (or emulation in this case)

    MIT has introduced a new language for use of multicore processing platforms called Halide. It seems to use C++ as it's general structure and form but separates the program into 2 portions. The first is a scheduler and the second is the actual process to do work. It does hold promise for...
