"We are going to have a Total Solar Eclipse, it's going to be beautiful, the most beautiful eclipse ever. I went to see the people of the total Solar, they are good people, they love America, we love America, so I told them we could strike a deal, to have the perfect total solar eclipse, and we agreed. I promise you this his going to be the covfefest total solar eclipse over our beautiful America". Make America eclipse again!
So Imagination lost some 60 millions last year when Apple during the same period was making money selling millions of shiny toys, each of them using a gpu based on Imagination's technology... Aren't they paid per unit produced, or is it that they get paid peanuts.
Someone help me understand pls.
I switched to Sky broadband about a couple of months ago, really I should have stuck with BT (for once!). It all started well, I had the advertised mb/s for normal use (I didn't go for the extra fast option as I live on my own), but a fortnight ago I noticed that connecting to the internet was becoming slower, pages will load slower I could literally see images being loaded, reminiscent of the Hayes modem age, the router would drop connection now and then, downloading a mere 50MB takes now about 4-5 minutes, I don't live in rural area ffs! At some occasion it's so bad I can't rely on my connection and have to resort to using my 4g connection on my smartphone. I am contemplating cancelling my contract with them and have been gathering evidences of their poor services as I don't want to pay extra charge for terminating the contract early, the suckers have not fulfilled their part of the contract. So yes I have no sympathy for such ISPs, charge them thru the nose if you must, whether they rely on BT or not, someone down the chain must be financially punished!
Sure, a snake that walked, it's in the bible, book of Genesis to be more precise and it was the devil aka Satan. Unfortunately he was punished - for revealing the truth to the nudist pair- to lose its limbs ans crawl on its belly for the rest of its life, much to the amusement of Ricky Gervais.
@twinlkins
true to that. Basically with the godlike status of Apple, as we were talking here at the office, they could enter the denim jeans market for example and easily outsell all current denim suppliers (Levi Strauss, Diesel, etc...) put together. The product doesn't matter any more it's all about fanboyism now.
"This has voice recognition but, like the engine, the processor is so underpowered it spends an age decoding what you have asked it."
It's because you asked in Englishe mon ami, some pre-processing translation job kicked in:
var voiceCommand = getVoiceCommand();
if (!NativevoiceAkaSuperiorFrench())
voiceCommand = translateFromOtherInferiorLanguage(DefaultLocalLanguage); // delaying bit
ApplyRecognistedCommand(voiceCommand)
DefaultLocalLanguage variable is set to "English" in the UK
Bonne journée mon ami!
Dell is not the one to blame, we all know how ethical are all these IT companies. the problem is that there is way to many technophobic people out there, they can't do anything computer-related by themselves, with more money then common sense they are a real manna for after sales departments and buy iThings to have a sense of security and therefore drive the price of everything up!
I'm going to adopt that silly behaviour (like Iphone fanboys) and buy the new s4 even if it doesn't offer more user experience, because it's the new thing and I gotta have it.
In truth my contract will expire in few months, I have an android phone with gingerbread so I might as well go for the S4;I am mentally prepared for i , so is my wallet, Samsung have my money, have it, it's yours!!!
