Don't know if this would affect your plans in any way, but regarding Xvfb ... (I didn't follow the discussion, so I'm not sure what decision was made on this)

Thanks for the kind words fellows, as well as your own personal stories. I appreciate that.

Cancer reared its ugly head in my life again this past week and I once again lost one of my little treasures -- had her put down yesterday late afternoon/early evening (and I'm very greatful to my vets for that - they met me well after Sat hours, and on a holiday long w/e). An affectionate...

There are other uses too: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xq92oz_so-dad-how-do-you-like-that-ipad-we-got-you_fun

MFGlobal meet PFGbest LOL. The continuing regulatory and political nonfeasance is such a joke....but then again, so is the public's disinterest to actually affect law, order & change. Anyway, just watching the "Inside Job" right now. Have heard good things about it. If anyone else is...

I'd be careful with that --- every Viagra/ED product commercial I've ever heard warns that you should seek medical help right away if your wang is powered up that long :-D

It already does; its called Linux

I really like what I see with this device, but I too am put off by the exclusion of a few notable features; had they too been included in the design (which apparently was the case with the original device prototype Asus had before Google came on board and subsequently saw them dropped), the...

Yeah, there is a lot of potential, but I don't really find that video too enlightening .... I was more inspired when I saw this (two year old) stuff: http://sven.killig.de/android/N1/2.2/usb_host/ DLNA (or whatever its being called now) or WiDi or a some sort of development on those...

Which is precisely the point LOL -- yes, of course they are -- something which should probably be rebranded as the "accessory sales ledger multiplier" Meh, Apple, in all its goodness, gives out free cases ... I'd of thought more highly of Samsung if they initiated a mail in swap program (send...

Samsung .... though it could easily go to Apple, but hey, they likely would've won for about eight years in a row if there really were such a thing....I also note that Asus gets an honorable mention/runner up too Anyway, I could easily choose Samsung for ruining their tablets by not adding USB...

Uh, Houston, this is pretty cool: http://vimeo.com/42909676

I see that DrunkenBastard is visiting

I think he had only read the first line of time's post and thought he was going to be reaching parity .... after being awakened to his err, I'm sure that now, at this very minute, dd is undertaking his own mission impossible assualt on the Google Labs, in order to secure a next generation Nexus...

Interesting. Thanks.

I skimmed through this article but read over the last page. The part that I really found interesting and see some potential in is this: I have a funny feeling that the next AMD release is going to make a big leap forward and be a surprise to a lot of people ... but we shall see ... (they'll...

My understanding is that repair and refurbishing work is contracted to a company called EasyServe, located in TN -- see this thread as an example: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=103340&start=30

Pure speculation, but given that the S II uses a Super AMOLED Plus, and the HTC One X a well regarded IPS, I'm wondering if this design/component selection decision was taken with the Apple iPhone 5 (or whatever they are going to call it) release being held in mind. What I'm getting at is...

Note that the Note is noted to being updated .... and that's the end of my anceNote

And, yet, at the same time, I am saddened to learn that BBB is not a unique individual and that, rather, here on SF, I continue to still read the inputs from all four of you ;-) Speaking of multiple splits ... where's the ape been hiding at recently? And what about the gang of ten from Houston?

I had consciously noted a same style of writing/post, but I had not made the connection .... I had pictured/thought Mark to be the type who would be above sock puppetry :-D .... (Anyway, I had wondered on several occasions where he had been hiding, and am glad to see that it turned out to be a...

I expect that they will be twice as powerful, ten thousand times larger, and so expensive that only the five richest kings of Europe will own them.

I disagree. Very few people have a compelling need for the full performance advantages that an i5/i7 may offer in specific tasks or applications. If vendors price their wares appropriately, this could be a very compelling/recommendable platform for a very large segment of the user demographic...

See the bottom paragraphs:

Clearly you need to buy an Audi SUV

Here's a couple from Anand looking at the newest AMD APU release (currently confined to the laptop segment; desktop models to follow in later): - http://www.anandtech.com/show/5831/amd-trinity-review-a10-4600m-a-new-hope -...

Glanced through the Galaxy S3 preview and saw that they called the Note a "phablet" ... first use I've seen of that term GS3 --> 4.8" screen ... getting bigger (the Note's is 5.3")

I saw on the thinkpads forum that they will actually have an L430 and L530 models (there is a thread that mentions it as well as a Lenovo pdf that references the two). I think the S is an Edge anyway.

Funny thing about that -- right now they are advertising quite heavily on TV with a commercial (which is an abbreviated version of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9qhO9ZLbtk&) that quips about writing a 1000 emails a day and try doing that with a touchscreen ... which leads me to the...

Belated congrats to you Dougie on the engagement!

Sad to read about that Bozo. Its never easy that's for sure.

Yeah, I was curious about that too. Is it that the L (formerly the SL) has become the S ? Another passing thought, re: screen quality, I read an article or blurb a couple months ago (don't recall from where) in which it was being postulated that consumer familiarity with the appearance of...

And while everything remains speculative right now about the forthcoming models, there are some concerns being raised by some folks about the direction Lenovo is taking the Thinkpad, and I'd have to agree in many counts. (Example threads: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=103443...

That's a fair point. I'd forgotten that I saw a number of people (both men & women) write that they had small hands and felt that it was pretty awkward to hold the device ... I have neither small, nor big hands, but I don't find the grip size an issue for myself (so I guess that's why that...

Oh, I'll add that I thought that the DLNA features are pretty neat.... though, in those regards, I'm starting to get apprehensive about security in regards to the level of networked interconnectedness in the home ... my greatest fear is that one day in the future I'm going to find out that...

Just curious/polling to see what your thoughts on this device might be. Notwithstanding the fact that it is intentionally larger (given that it straddles the line between small tablet and phone), the most common complaint that I've seen written about it is its size. And of those critiques...

June 5th, evidently, for the beginning of the rollout of new T, X, etc., models. If the current laptop model features an Expresscard 2.0 slot, one could easily add an inexpensive USB 3.0 card. Example: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=97779

Of course, then again, the PC industry might be saved by an apparent acceleration in the notion of disposable electronics, accompanied by the useable lifespan of modern PC parts and components having fallen to a measurement in nano seconds, or 3 minutes past the end of the warranty period ...

agree! agree! I don't know exactly where I'd put my finger on it, but it seems that processing power since roughly 2008 has been massive overkill for the current typical software needs (outside of gaming) seems like a reasonable assumption agree. However, I'd add that some of that growth is...

It's clear that they should have used Fotoshop by Adobé instead

I suspect that many of you will enjoy this presentation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyNmUmmQ0kI#! Its 53 mins long and does contain a couple of F-bombs on rare occasion as well as a few others from the non-PC vocabular

I'm running Chromium 18.0.972.0 Had Chrome (version whatever) installed too because audio notification in Tweetdeck wasn't working in Chromium. But an update to Chromium last week cured that, so uninstalled Chrome 2 days ago as it became redundant. Prefer Firefox to Chrome/Chromium. Only...

it can indeed be the only drive in the box. I would assume that it went in the T420 It wouldn't work in a T60 -- the mini PCIe slot in it won't support mSATA

I would assume that if Greg could, in any way, string them together into some ginormous RAID0 array, he'd be all over it, no expenses barred.
