Indeed, however my case is the perfect example of how perverted capitalism has become. The "workforce" accepts to be even more efficient, to help "their company" and "save their job". We see our results : +32% Benefits and would be happy with that. However seeing the CEO with +18% and hearing...

A few years ago i was working for ATOS (a french IT company)..... On my last year there in 2011 : Company Gross : +0.8% (compared to 2010) Company Net Benefit : +31.6% (compared to 2010) We had really worse working conditions, increased workload, harsher SLA's due to the hardcore application...

You know very well this is false and the market is often bullshit. The "Market" will try to pay the lowest acceptable rate possible, which is not really linked to the value or worth of the individual. The "Market" may be tricked to pay enormous amounts for incompetent people. Here is an example...

As i pointed out, the US worship money, and everything is revolves around the idea "more money is always better" is an universal truth. How much is worth the CEO of a company with 2000 people each making 50.000$ ? 1 Million ? 2 Million ? 10 Million ? 100 Million ? I'm not saying he should be...

Newegg sells FX8350 for 199$, while i7-4770K costs 330$ All things being equal, if you do encoding or some weird stuff like BF4-64p AMD probably offers better bang per buck. Funny part is if you consider Jhu's link : http://blog.stuffedcow.net/2014/01/amd-modules-hyperthreading/ HT offers +25%...

Don't be fooled, all those 8 Core you see are actually 4 Real Cores + 4 Fake Cores :) AMD offers better Performance/$ under a very specific workload : encoding Otherwise Intel is the superior choice (specially if you only use up to 4 cores).

Unlike the US which worship the "Self Made Man" & "American Dream" (thus Money) i think europeans are much more jaded/suspicious because after hundreds of years of Monarchy/Dictators they realise that you can't really get "that rich/powerful" without screwing up thousands and thousands of...

That's kinda horrible, separate accounts for separate contacts/reasons. My biggest complain would be the way Outlook manages multiple accounts when compared to Lotus Notes. Having 5 Tabs for 5 Mailboxes is great. Having a 3 mile long folder list sucks. Yet Lotus doesnt let you transfer email...

Intel can already run Android/Windows on the same CPU... Not to mention 95% of Indie Steam games will probably run on Atoms. Capsized, Super Meat Boy, Binding of Isaac, Mark of the Ninja fit the bill. Now touchscreen suck as a controller, yet no one wants a "bluetooth-phone-controller" in his...

Because outside of the enterprise area (which will keep desktops for servicability and updgradability) there is zero reason to buy a desktop unless you are the 1%. Now i'm not saying the PC is dead, because it's alive and kicking. PCs now come in very thin for factors (tablet) or Media/Game...

The Desktop as we knew it is dead and buried. In 5 years it will be for the 1% : Anandtech users. The Personal Computer is alive and well, just evolving into a smaller and lighter/smaller form factor... Anyone here remember the IBM AT/XT transportable? Well ot was replaced by the CRT Mac...

Don't confuse "vivobook" "zenbook" "random_book" and "UltraBook" (TM) : A 11" or 13" Thin Laptop with good battery life is NOT an "UltraBook" (TM) Here are the latest requirements from Wiki : Processor : Haswell microarchitecture SiP (11.5 or 15 W TDP) Height (maximum) : 23 mm baseline...

Ultrabooks should have been designed as the EEE-PC v2 : 500$ good enough in every way, but never great. Instead they went for 1400$+ abominations which were worse than the Air in every single way. Something like this ...

Their design teams may be in their infancy, yet they have the best mobile product despite these drawbacks. Sure A7 may not be as fast as a S800 or Little.Big but it's so custom tailored it may be called "perfect" for the job required. As for "Performance/Power Consumption" with their stockpile...

So am I ;) and as far as i know there is no Arm able to replace i5. Now ask yourself, Intel was able to scale a modern x86 to 2W. With 100Billion in bank, don't you think that Apple can't scale up A7 ? Of course you can't just join two to make a quad core, overclock and pump 20W to reach...
