Why i've all but given up on Windows.

But now, other than for test systems and virtual machines, I carry out my day-to-day work on a variety of OS X, iOS and Android systems. I barely giving my Windows PC systems a second glance. My primary work system is a MacBook Pro, and in the ten months I've had it it's flawlessly done everything I've asked of it, from run Microsoft Word to render 4K video. I've lost count of the number of notebooks I've owned over the years, but this MacBook Pro is, by far, the most reliable system I've owned, and I put part of that down to the fact that it doesn't run Windows.

I've had an iPhone and an iPad for years, and I can only remember a couple of times when they've let me down.
My experience of Windows on tablets closely resembles that of myZDNet colleague James Kendrick. Bottom line, they let me down too much to want to bother with them. Why would I trade a reliable iPad or Android tablet for an unreliable Windows 8.1 tablet? Why trade a tablet that just works for one that regularly sends me on quests, roaming the Internet looking for the right elixir to fix the system?

Going the mac route might seem like an even more expensive option, but having owned a number of systems, including the MacBook Pro that that become my go-to system, the additional cost of the hardware (plus the additional AppleCare warranty) is offset by the fact that these systems have given me months, and in some cases years, or hassle-free use. I've not had to mess around with drivers. I've not had to go digging through the configuration settings. I've not had to surf the web looking for solutions to obscure error messages.

Εξαιρετική τιμή, ακόμα και για τα δεδομένα της κρίσης. Περίπου τόσο κοστίζει και η VDSL, για να μην πω ότι σε ΟΤΕ πολλοί δίνουν περισσότερα για ADSL2+...
Το θέμα είναι ότι χρειάζονται οικονομίες κλίμακας για μεγάλες επενδύσεις και αυτό θα γίνει όταν θα έχουμε 3 μεγάλους παρόχους.
psx3 αυτος ο χαρτης υπαρχει...απο παντα λεμε,αναπτυξη δεν εχει γινει και περιμενω πως και πως να ερθει 4 στενα πιο δεξια να πιασει και εμενα
Τρομερό! Γιατί όμως το δίνουν τόσο φθηνά? Και πως γίνεται να δίνουν 720 λεπτά για κινητά σε αυτή τιμή? Πολύ τυχεροί όσοι μένουν εκεί.
Ίσως επειδή είναι πιλοτικό ακόμα. Το κόστος τερματισμού κινητών έχει εξισωθεί με αυτό των σταθερών.
Είναι όντως τόσο πρόσφατο αυτό (2012); Αν με ρώταγες θα έλεγα ότι έχω δει την ίδια ακριβώς φωτό πριν 3-4 χρόνια.
Ο χάρτης δεν βγήκε τώρα, όμως πλέον δίνουν υπηρεσία.
Nixxes' Katsman revealed that "very early figures from Thief" (which is "not fully running on Mantle yet") showed a big reduction in draw call overhead. "Before, we would often see about 40% of the CPU time stuck in the driver, in D3D, or in various threads," he said. "The early measurements we did, right now we have that down to about a fifth of that."
The guys from Oxide offered a more visual representation of Mantle's CPU overhead in their talk. Mantle is the yellow rectangle, the game engine is the blue one, and unused CPU time is shown in green:
DICE's Andersson extrapolated upon that same notion in his keynote, saying that, with Mantle, the CPU "should never really be a bottleneck for the GPU anymore." In a separate demonstration, Oxide showed their Mantle-enabled space game suffering no frame rate hit when the FX-8350 processor on which it ran was underclocked to 2GHz, or half its base speed. (Graphics processing in that demo was handled by a Radeon R9 290X.)
Mantle will allow game developers to use more CPU cores, too, as these two slides from Andersson's presentation show. According to Andersson, the Mantle model outlined in the second slide is the "the exact model that we're using on all of the consoles"—both current and next-gen ones. In his talk, Katsman explained that, if a system has eight cores, Mantle allows developers to use all of those cores for their game. "So, we can have four to do rendering, a few more to do physics and some other things. We can make games that are far more complicated. We can increase the draw distance to significant distances, have far denser worlds."
In addition to making more effective and efficient use of the CPU, Mantle will allow GPU resources to be used more efficiently. Katsman brought up the Radeon R9 290X, which has 5.6 tflops of compute power, and said that an "awful lot" of that compute power is "lying there dormant." With current APIs, some of the compute power might be used for some parts of a frame, but other parts "will be bottlenecked by something else," such as "getting things from memory, by fetching textures through the texture fetch units, [and] the rasterization units." He went on:....
What we'd see, for example—say we're rendering shadow maps. There's really not much compute going on. . . . Compute units are basically sitting there being idle. If, at the same time, we are able to do post-processing effects—say maybe even the post-processing from a previous frame, or what we could do in Tomb Raider, [where] we have TressFX hair simulations, which can be quite expensive—we can do that in parallel, in compute, with these other graphics tasks, and effectively, they can become close to zero cost.
If we guessed that maybe only 50% of that compute power was utilized, the theoretical number—and we won't reach that, but in theory, we might be able to get up to 50% better GPU performance from overlapping compute work, if you would be able to find enough compute work to really fill it up.
The 50% figure is a theoretical best-case scenario, but Katsman added, "It seems quite realistic that you would get maybe 20% additional GPU performance out of optimizations like that."
Also, because Mantle lets developers use GPU memory more efficiently, the new API could allow for the use of higher-resolution textures in a given game, according to Katsman.
Πολυ ενδιαφερον ποατ. Το pc gaming εχει ολα τα φοντα να παρει τα πανω του σε αυτη τη γενια. Κονσολες με παρομοιο hardware-πιο ευκολα πορτς, mantle-πιο προσιτο optimization. Ελπιζω να δουμε μερικα εντυπωσιακα παιχνιδια για pc σε αυτη τη γενια!

For instance, the 2012 Greek bailout – the biggest in history, requiring the renegotiation of €146bn of bonds among 135 principal bond owners in just 30 days – was completed using iPads. A specialised visualisation app (written by a British company, Bondholder Communications Group) ran on the encrypted, 3G-connected tablets that banks were happy to allow on their premises – something they'd never have agreed to for Windows laptops, because of security fears about viruses. Because the iPads could be updated in real time, used while on the move, didn't constantly need charging and the progress could be shown visually, the deal was done.

Bill Gates ο φιλάνθρωπος. Hedge Fund Manager Refused To Join Bill Gates’ "Worthless" Giving Pledge
http://www.buzzfeed.com/rosiegray/ex...anager-refusedQuote:
• Mr. Gates, I decided more than ten years ago to try to give away 70% of my net worth and have already given away one-half billion dollars. (I’ve never been a Forbes 400) So I really don’t have to take the pledge.
• Your ‘Giving Pledge’ has a loophole that renders it practically worthless, namely permitting pledgees to simply name charities in their wills. I have found that most billionaires or near billionaires hate giving large sums of money away while alive and instead set up family-controlled foundations to do it for them after death. And these foundations become, more often than not, bureaucracy-ridden sluggards. These rich are delighted to toss off a few million a year in order to remain socially acceptable. But that’s it.
• I’m going to stay far away from your effort. But thanks for thinking of me.
• Mr. Gates, thanks much for your email. But as my previous email indicated, I wouldn’t have much fun or add much value to this group. You, being a liberal, think you can change people more than I think.
• When rich people reach 50 and are beginning to slow down is the time to begin engaging them in philanthropy. I’d greatly appreciate just leaving it at that.

Φτιάξε το δικό σου κινητό

Τελικά το όραμα φαίνεται να παίρνει σάρκα και οστά
Χμ... το Project Ara της Motorola δείχνει υπέροχο και πολύ κοντά σε κάτι υλοποιήσιμο που θα μπορούσε να κατακτήσει τον κόσμο. Έχω από το 2008 αρχές το ίδιο κινητό, κάποιες φορές νιώθω την ανάγκη αλλαγής απλά και μόνο για μεγαλύτερη οθόνη και να παίζω κάποια νέα παιχνίδια (ναι είναι ο σύντροφος μου στις μετακινήσεις μου), αλλά δεν είδα ποτέ κάτι που να είναι οικονομικό και να αξίζει αγορά, είχα πάντα άλλες προτεραιότητες. Δεν μου έχει ζητήσει ποτέ τίποτα, ακόμη την ίδια μπαταρία έχω, όχι ότι κάνω και τα περίσσια πράγματα φυσικά. Ίσως αν είναι τόσο όμορφο το Motorola και αρκετά προσιτό σε τιμή να είναι το κινητό που θα αντικαταστήσει τελικά το κινητό μου. Μου άρεσε πολύ αυτό που είδα και μου αρέσει πολύ όλη αυτή η ιδέα, ακόμη και με τα χρωματιστά blocks ανάλογα τα γούστα σας, κλπ
