I wonder how this affected Toshiba's own processors -- MeP, then Cell. Some of MPEs (Nuon's processing units) only had access to its small local memory and needed DMA to access the…

It's not only in US. We've had the phrase 'three highs' (三高) in Japan, about height, income, and education, though people openly express this are getting downplayed these days. Not…

Strange, no mention about excretions. The author did blood tests but no urine tests.

Where's the obligatory xkcd reference, anyone?

Splendid! However I prefer http://facemakr.com/ when it comes to the variations of facial parts.

Or try think this way - your doorstep is part of Amazon's storefront. Even though you have to make a deposite and wait much longer than real retails before perusing the goods at ha…

Hmm I've just pre-ordered two from Japan (and applied to the dev program too). I believe the form included international locations, can you confirm it?

Your low level is my high level. Even assembly code appears high level when you are looking into how the electrons run through silicon and copper. But it's not realistic to cover a…

> I remember when the PS3 was first shown at E3 many years ago, one of the big selling points that Sony was advertising was how difficult it was to program for it. I'm pretty surpr…

I expected from the title a story about the future where Google uses purchase history collected from its Wallet service to predict items to be purchased next time, and even sends t…

No such a legal obligation, but all three major careers support the warning system (however Softbank has only few phones that can receive the warning messages). This system uses a …

50% doesn't sound great and I wish it would be better too, but it's far better than nothing when it's a matter of life and death.

This article is not actually about USB. Neither about Windows 8. What's interesting is that Microsoft uses model checking on real shipping products. In fact it has been pushing sta…

FWIW, here are what I, a low-level (OS/firmware) guy, got this time: https://plus.google.com/116664423478272670997/posts/BYtnWF73...
