    Watching Linus video where he says games are starting to use higher frequency ram

    for a game to specifically take advantage of faster ram, does that mean there is a special user_has_fast_ram DirectX API? Or this is more of a Mantle API direct memory access feature?

    Air+iMac or 15" MacBook retina.

    I replaced my desktop and 13" laptop for just my 15" rmbp and 27" external. I like this setup very much. And since im also using a thunderbolt dock, i like just needing to disconnect 1 cable and power to move it around.

    Tablets Expected to Outsell PCs by 2015

    At my work, all new employees get laptops only. But they are just used as really expensive vnc client machines. I have vnc'd using my iPad when I am at meetings, and I am still able to get "real work" done. (Although slower than when I am in front of multiple screens and kb+m)
