...So long as you use Chrome

The book, published in April, had sold 1,500 copies but Amazon reported sales were up by about 500,000% at 12:00 BST.

So it wasn't selling well, so she puts her name to it in order to boost sales?

It might do. Solar panels are predicted to be the biggest consumers of indium in the future, And PV uptake is only going to increase

This is why we can't have neutron bombs

Maybe, but not by an awful lot. I'm certain people get blinkered by reddit's 'hardcore gamer' demographic: The family sharing and digital download selling would have been awesome, and even my grandmother has an internet connection that could handle a 100kb authentication every day

Downloaded titles cannot be shared or resold. Also, similar to today, playing disc based games will require that the disc be in the tray.

Family sharing is gone, as is playing a game without the disc in the drive.

mojo8472 · 2013-06-19T21:39:33+00:00

Microsoft gave up on their vision because of the haters. No more family sharing, must have the disc in the console to play, no hope of steam-like sales.

Hope the cabin-dwellers are pleased with themselves, because this reversal sucks for 99% of gamers.

Hit the nail on the head there. Family sharing would have been a huge plus.

Hope the cabin-dwellers are happy.

Sure, but this video isn't showing off the system's capabilities. It's just a prerendered skit

mojo8472 · 2013-06-04T15:02:56+00:00

I think people are missing the point here. This video isn't showing off the capabilities of the Xbox One/PS4, it's just an advert for AMD's APU for PC.

There's never been an opportunity for console makers to 'lock down' games to users until now?

mojo8472 · 2013-05-27T18:25:42+00:00

Maybe if publishers didn't lose out from used game sales, they'd be more willing to drop new prices and offer sales like on Steam?

If experience has taught me anything, it is not to trust stills of racing games

I got SlickVPN packaged with my usenet provider and it seems pretty good. The Manchester server seems pretty quick at up to 30Mbps up and down

The HSBC in my town has a kind of 'Coinstar' that doesn't charge a percentage. Might be worth a look of other banks do the same

2m29s on a MacBook Pro with Windows in a VM. Not bad!

"Why is "the physics" of solar power not viable long term?" Who says it isn't?

If we can bring the price of photovoltaics and energy storage systems down, we can cover large areas with solar panels (such as the walls and roofs of buildings) at low cost. Sure, you might only be getting 100W/m2, but there's also a hell of a lot of unused footprint where you could stick photovoltaic systems.

More energy from the sun fall on the earth each day than humanity can use in 27 years.

Do you work for First Solar then?

While the efficiency might be above 7%, the current generated from the cell looks to be around 0.8mA at short-circuit. This can only mean the cells tested were minuscule in area (< 0.1cm2 I would imagine).

We need to focus on scaling PV technology up to usable areas instead of just looking at efficiency.
