"It's extremely expensive, treading well into professional-use-only territory". Is this in reference to the starting price, or price as configured? IMO, At $2500, you're treading into professional territory. At more than twice that price, (as configured in the article) you've shotgunned the...

Yes, IBM has responded. I don't have the links available, but iiirc: Firmware updates for their Power systems on 01/08/18 and AIX patch 02/12/18. Don't know about iSeries or zSeries.

This is the phone I've been waiting for. I have a Driod Razr M, so to me this a good upgrade. I've been searching news article, trying to piece together any information I can, so I have two questions. I believe the phone is coming in 2 storage configurations: 16GB and 32GB. I would like to...

I live in NJ and me and my wife, both got tickets from these "red light cameras". The cameras were both angled to get pictures of cars making right turns, on red lights. If you didn't fully stop for 3 seconds before turning, snap and a fine is in the mail. $85 a piece. I called and asked...

"I have to hire a great work force to compete with those cyber criminals, and some of those kids want to smoke weed on the way to the interview," Comey told a gathering at the New York City Bar Association on Tuesday. I skimmed over the original article, to see if there was anything more said...

Ok, so am I the only one that was expecting a Motorola X + 1 and Motorola 360 announcement? For me, I was waiting on the X + 1 details, since I coming up on renewal. meh. I can't seem to find any information, regarding either these. Except Motorola X +1 will be announced at a later date. 1...

I have no clue, what is Apple's motivation for this. I wanted Tim Cook to succeed, but I haven't seen anything that shows Apple is still the innovator they once were, under Jobs. To me, Apple jumped the shark with this deal.

My guess is that it gets better/more or very distinguishable signals from the bicep, whereas below the elbow, it becomes very difficult to do reliably.

I've heard the name before, but I don't know much about the Van Allen Belt. So it was interesting to read: "These areas of high-energy particles are held in place by the Earth's magnetic fields, and they pose a radiation hazard to any people and equipment that orbit within them.' Does this...

Ars ... please, as others have noted .... Take this down. Uncool.

Awesome article Ars! This exactly why I continue to come here. If my memory serves me right...don't we have Voyager 2 doing the same thing, but in the opposite direction? If so, what are it's readings? I agree with some here and say that the reality is much different than the theoretical...

Thanks again. I'm installing now. In diskutil, there is a "disk2" that has an icon with a earth looking globe on top of a HDD. I assume that is the Internet Recovery partition? Finished. I decided to wipe the partition and create a new one. Hopefully it created the recovery partition also...

@fsck! - Thanks for the reply. Will this clean install, also create a recovery partition? Totally new to MAC OS, so Ia ma trying to catch up. Thanks again, James

@fsck! / shomann: I just got my MBP, this past Friday. I really don't have anything to save or backup. If I create this bootable USB flash, how do I do a clean install? Thanks in advance

@fatcow - as long as your mini can run Mountain Lion, I don't see any reason you can't follow the steps, in this Ars article: meincmagazine.com/apple/2012/07/how-to-create-a-bootable-backup-mountain-lion-install-disk/ Just got off the phone with Apple Care (10:40pm EST). Mentioned the problem...

^^^same Filled out the form about 4 hours ago. Still no email, with the app code. I printed out the web page with my reference number. 1st time Mac owner (just got my MBP on Fri), how long is the code good for. I'm in no hurry to update and I just read the Ars article about when to update...

I want tot try this on my Apple TV 2, but I believe it's tethered reboot. I want to install XMBC, but I would be left with keeping my ATV2 always on. Has anyone used this on their ATV2? What happens when I turn it off, then back on a few days later? Am I back to an unjailbroken ATV2?

Staying on topic of smartphones and tablets ... IMO Just Apple. Other companies don't have the luxury of leaving out features. They can't. They're entering a market against a VERY successful incumbent. So yes, I do believe Samsung/Moto/LG/HTC try and build the best phones/tablets then can...

Maybe these guys: http://www.extremetech.com/mobile/98497 ... s-iphone-4 Rather than the revolutionary, taper-bodied, NFC-packing, bezel-less, aluminum-backed superphone, we got an iPhone 4 with a new processor, a better camera, and faster download speeds. Not to be completely negative — the...

I'll chime in: iPad 2S Retina display GPU bump Battery size Ram increase Stereo speakers (hopefully) EDIT: Camera upgrade Apple always does the minimal upgrade. Always saving more, for the next release. Keeps the frothing iFans coming back.
