but the American boss???

If you can't get that fact correct, what hope of any others being correct.

hmm,

"busty" applications ?

Is this a real ms lawyer

He says "So two different means of getting to the same end would be independently patentable,"

So, unless the source is exactly the same and compiled with the same tools nothing is going to infringe ms patents. Game over

More Welly

It's interesting to note that all the sites we I have read about this story always mention that if you need to do heavey lifting ie whatching HD vide etc etc imply that it's simply not possible unless you have an X86 chipset.

This is clearly tosh and poppy cock. At last years MWC Texas demoed HD played from their beagle board.

As for games I don't hear much mention of people complaining that they wish they had an x86 chip in their iphones because the 3d games are so rubbish.

Anyway, keep up the good work

Prior art?

My Dell workstation does this (or something similar). I know because the switch failed and the bloody thing beeped and turned the fans on to "emergency take off power" each time the box was switched on. In the end a helpful man in a call centre advised me to take the cover off and fiddle with the connector.

I look forward to my water cooled mobile

I see them trying to create some kind of super-smart phone and in the attempt owning the whole stack. Devices the size of a large smart phone, but with more cpu + accelerator grunt. Could really stir things up

Maybe goodnight and goodbye SymbianOS.

"relevant consuming public"

relevant is the key word here I think. Relevant consuming public presumably are Psion buyers :)

Non military, non drving, non travelling drunk

This is a bit unfair on the piss artist who'd rather spend his money getting drunk than going on holidays or driving

Good advice

Don't eat yellow snow

MotoMan SDA10 has seven axes

Be pretty good at chopping wood too !

p.s I know axes is the plural of axis

Gawd bless 'em

I spent many a happy hour hacking away on an Electron and BBC B once I had some cash. I got an Archie when they came out and I'm still doing ARM based coding 20 years later. Thank you all at Acorn/ARM

I would, but...

The last update (10.5.2) stopped wireless networking with my netgear router. A long ethernet cable for me these days.

"It just works" - my arse

I know

"which it does by focusing a suitable laser on the missile"

how about missiles that track bright lasers stuck on the back of planes

please make sure you know who is coming in the door behind you

I struggled to read past that part.

One more

They'd have one more customer for this if only they would connect my bloody phone line and let me wait a further 48 hours before ordering. I suspect now that my order is delayed until the start of the next accounting period to make the numbers look good.
