What are the applications for ARM? So ARM can serve a web page up on lower power, but it also doesn't serve them as fast as x86 processors at all. Is there an in memory database that is ARM specific? How about a web server?

Windows 8 made me love my memorization of all the shortcut keys. When I first installed it and couldn't locate a quick method to shut it down, good ol' ALT-F4 was to my rescue.
No one wants to shell out $60 for a game that they have zero flexibility with after. Lots of people buy then new title, get their fill and sell it to recoup their costs -- this all goes away once publishers have their way. These users will simply not buy the title at launch and wait for it to...

SATA + SSD is a dead end. NVM_Express will be the defacto storage for flash memory, tied to the PCIe bus (not PCIe cards) and will present itself to the OS as storage. Intel has drivers for this in the linux 3.0 kernel stack (or at least some branch) and there is a large consortium of...
EIZO *were* some impressive CRT screens. Apparently (at the time), their quality was one of the highest due to very strict Swedish standards.
Since the LCD production began, they haven't caved in quality (and price). I'd definitely consider an EIZO LCD, if I had the money and it was an...
