I wonder when these will be used for enterprise storage arrays. Could be handy.

My favorite mobile processor was the Intel StrongArm.

I still like using mutt.

Maybe someone will tell Marzipan about this.

AaAaAaAaAaAaA! I was raised by a cup of coffee.

And this would be the opposite 🙂

Yes, Wheeler failed in that lesson 🙂

I do not understand why http://www.x10.com/ never moved on from the 1970's.
They have been doing this with basically no technological changes for decades.
The only thing they did was move into CCTV. So much more could have been done here.

I know, they easily could have owned this whole market and instead they just sucked. No modern technology, even the website was embarrassing.

That is odd. I wonder what the difference is.

As a former BMW X owner, I'd not call them high end. We traded up to a GMC. Far higher end. BMW 3 series, high end. X, not so much. Horrible cars.

I would not call a GMC (or most any GM product) high end.

Definitely higher end than the BMW X series. The GMC is more reliable, handles better, drives better, is sportier and more comfortable.

@lance Security != convenience

After reading the article, Yahoo! is saying it is not supporting IE8 (mostly XP users). This is a good thing even though I may not care for Yahoo! I have too many residential clients who use it.

I played 7th Guest in that era but never Myst.

Clojure is freaking awesome. LISP on Java. NTG maintains a huge Clojure reference library. I hope to get to do a Clojure project at some point.

@scottalanmiller Our difference of opinion on the netflix issue aside, I agree 100% that this new proposal is a BAD idea.

As bad as the Supreme Court ruling on campaign financing.. We can all see how well that worked. Those in power will not change it as they are the ones benefiting. This will be the same.

Amazing that just a year ago it seemed like Intel was unstoppable and that the need for non-Intel chips was waning. Now POWER and ARM are threatening market domination and Intel fears marginalization.

And Sparc remains amazing even though we hear little about it.
