Something that’s not in the shortbread:

Wow, they’re certainly something else, that’s for certain. Noddy needs to rice his PC up it would seem.
[quote<]and $90 off 512GB Crucial M4 2.5" SSD [/quote<] That expired about 19 hours before the shortbread was released.
“by Ronald Hanaki — 7:26 PM on October 9, 2012” (assuming EST)
That would have been Wed in some parts of Eastern Europe 🙂
Sat evening snackbread is still filling.
[quote<]Electronic Design: How to boot Linux in under one second[/quote<] Woohoo, I wonder what I can do with that extra 3 saved seconds from cold boot. The biggest lags seen now days is items like BIOS/UEFI and card initialization and other items like dhcp request on boot.
You haven’t done a cold start on your phone lately have you? Actually, this is great news for all kinds of embedded devices in critical roles.
Who restarts a phone?
Folks that fly.
That’s what the aeroplane mode is for.
There are two rules that affect your smartphone while on a flight.
1) FCC prohibits cell phone use while on a plane because the transmission range is much greater and has the potential to affect more cell sites than you could on the ground.
2) FAA prohibits Portable Electronic Devices during all phases of flight, while giving carriers discretion to allow certain devices at specific phases of flight. PED devices have the potential to interference to instruments via unintended (“spurious”) emissions, thus they are supposed to be powered down. (With carriers typically giving approval to turn them back on while in flight.)
Obviously, as Geoff pointed out recently, the FAA is looking to reexamine #2, but for the time being it’s still in effect.
Lots of people.
my wife forgets to plug hers in ALL THE TIME, so it’s restarted 2-3 times a week.
DOUBLE POSTS ARE THE BEST POSTS (obviously after firts posts)
People who own a iPhone.
The only time my phone does a cold boot is when it applies a iOS update.
Whoa! 29 link to the 650 ti, nVidia marketing is going full throttle on this one.
Can’t we all just get along?
No more then any other video card release. AMD and Nvidia both get the same amount of attention.
Remember the 7850 news?
Beter yet, the frickin’ 470.
Or the 4870.
Or the Intel HD 4000….
Etc.
Except the 650 TI isn’t nearly as remarkable as any of those.
[quote<]I.The LA Times: Apple's fix for iPhone 5 camera's purple flare? Tweak the angle[/quote<] You're holding it wrong, mk 2! ..and...FARTS!
Now, you know it’s up to you whether or not you want to tweak the angle or not. Or uh…well, like SSK, for example, has all kinds of colors of flare, okay. And a terrific smile.
People can take a photo with any smartphone, okay? They use an iPhone for the status and individuality. Okay? That’s what the flare’s about. It’s about fun.
You know, MSFT had pieces of flair that they made the nerds wear.
In other words they won’t bother to make their products actually work, because they are just meant to make people look cool.
Did they not put any kind of coating on the edges of the lens? It’s normal to have a rough surface on the edges of lens that is coated in black paint–to prevent reflections from those surfaces. I take it Apple didn’t do that?
I wonder if anyone would be willing to pop out their lens, take a black Sharpie to it and put it back in to see if that makes any difference.
Black ink is typically just really dark red/purple, so maybe that’s what apple did to save money :’D
Snarky and plausable. Well done.
From what I’ve read, it’s the sapphire coating that might be the problem which makes you wonder why Apple designers didn’t just go with a diamond-like thin film coating.
It also makes you wonder how sorry their design QA is to have not found this. Or maybe they did and just didn’t care – people will buy it anyway. Either seems equally likely to me.
Maybe it’ll become a mark of distinction. Sort of like some old lenses that have strange bokeh are popular for their strangeness. Let’s see if someone adds a filter that does this effect to instagram.
