I never thought I'd see the day that 14nm chip architecture could be achieved. Intel just introduced its Broadwell and Braswell chipsets, based on a 14nm architecture. And a 64-bit Android kernel.
To try to put this in perspective, the high-k dielectric layer on a 22nm chip is only about 6 atoms thick! And now they're down to 14nm, with Intel trying to push it down to 11nm! After that, I really think they'll be up against a wall. They will have no choice but to progress into 3D chip stacking or quantum computing to advance.

Not necessarily.

If only we knew someone who's done that for a living, for a really long time with all the major chip producers as customers, we could ask for details.

But it would probably take me 2 hours of studying and a dozes readings of the post to grasp the most basic understanding of what was said.:rofl:
m8 or s5. I don't know which to get. They are so similar. I know I'd be happy with both, if I upgrade. Can someone tell me what to do? Seriously. They offered me to keep my 20 dollar a month data discount per line. They offered me loyalty maxx (6gb) and they offered me verizon edge. This means I get four phones for the price of two, I pay extra 50 per month and I can upgrade in a year. Not bad. So, i'm soliciting options, impressions. I'm going to give the choice to my family which they want, but for me, I'm not sure. Should I do this? Should I wait to see the iPhone 6 phablet? Should I wait for the note 4? I'm all confused and flustered. What's a mother to do?

5nm process. Just surreal.
Steven, I'm funding up for the Note 4. I just can't believe that the Note 4 won't be spectacular, or that it will be a mere incremental update to the Note 3. It's gonna be amazing. But that means waiting until October for it, whereas the S5 is available sooner. But it's getting lousy reviews, from what I've read.

What more can they do with a phone? Have we reached out peek for innovation?
I didn't see the lousy reviews. Can you direct me?
Steven: I've read in places that the S5 is a rather un-spectacular, incremental update phone. But you want reviews, they're out there. But then in other places, people are crowing about it. Maybe I'm just biased toward the Note line.
Here's one.
I suppose it depends on perspective: if you have a Galaxy S3 or Galaxy Nexus, then the S5 will probably be quite the upgrade for you. Coming from a Note 3, though, it would likely be a step backward in many respects.

We saw Raid 2 last night and boy was it crazy good. If you like blood and martial arts you'll love it. Only thing is, you have to see the first one first as this takes place immediately after the first so there's a lot of back story.
It's not a mainstream movie so it may be hard to find in a theater near you (we went to our small indie theater in DC to see it).
RIP John Pinette. One of the funniest men on earth. His self-deprecating humor made him an absolute charm and a joy to watch. And his act was, for the most part, relatively clean and family-friendly. He was only 50 years old.

Saw Noah over the weekend.
Spoilers, mild rant:
Spoilers, mild rant:
No surprise that it wasn't really based on the Genesis account, like at all. (My wife studies the Bible and was laughing and saying "Yeah right" about a million times; I had to tell her to quiet down on more than one occasion).
I'm not religious, but I'm getting kind of sick of all the attacks on the Bible, disguised as an epic story based on the Bible (painting Noah as a crazy psychopath, saying demons helped to build the ark, not bothering to give a wife to each of the sons; having another psychopath sneak into the ark; etc.
Like I said, not religious, but I kind of hate it when movies based on books aren't at all faithful to the source material. I'd be ranting about it just as much if it was The Hunger Games completely crapping on the books. . .
My wife, though, is religious, and she wanted to walk out, lol.
Okay, end rant.

I found it very boring, especially after the fallen angels were gone.
To make an over 2hr movie about THAT they had to go off course or that movie would have been way worse than it was.
I laughed too, but I'm not religious or even believe.

It looks like a remake of a movie already made before.

Ugh. Those rock things were the WORST part of the movie. Ugh, Lord of the Rings called, they want their Ents back.

prolly gonna wait for the lg g3...
G2 has been fantastic for me. ROM'd so it's pretty much stock with the LG camera app (since AOSP camera is garbage). Screen size is perfect, size is nice. Waiting for "knock lock" or whatever it's called to be ported from the the G Pro 2 (it may already be, I'm behind). Camera, speed, battery life. They're all great. Don't see myself moving on anytime soon.

Steven, did you give the Moto X a try. My impression is it is what the GNex could have been if it was done right. I bought a Developer Edition and couldn't be happier. I hear the next generation is on the way.

Forgot you got one, Pup! My wife loves hers, mostly just cause it's a wood back with her name one it.
Will have to say, much like my Moto G I use to play music with, it's the best feeling phone in the hand I've ever had.

I went back and forth on the Wood Back / Developer Edition. I wasn't able to find a clear case that satisfy my expectations of protection while allowing the grain to be visible. So, $25 less I got the DE with an unlockable bootloader. Plus, seeing as the X had Kit Kat OTA before the N4 let me know I'd be able to get some serious updates. And at $450 full price (see preserved unlimited data) it was a no brainer.
Full day of regular use, not even bump charges in my drive to and from work and I have 80% left when I go to bed. Everything is liquid smooth. No annoying gimmicks, true, simple enhancements to pure Android. I thought I would hate the on screen notifications and miss the notification LED, but it's been just the opposite.
I won't even touch on radios & reception. Like I said, it's everything the Galaxy Nexus could have been if it was done right.

Bread: It's kinda funny... To me LG used to signify poor workmanship. With the LG G2, all that changed. It was arguably the best phone of 2013. Based on that, battery life and build, etc., and based the proposed specs, which look to blow everything else out of the water, it seem like it will be the best phone of 2014. Maybe this time, its sales will beat out the other inferior but well advertised phones.
PUP: Funny you mention Moto. Whereas I never have used the X, I did have the Motorola Droid X. Whereas it got long in the tooth, Samsung call quality was awful compared to the DX. Since I do business on my cell, I NEEEEED call quality. Moto is in the running because of their proprietary call quality (I read an article as to why they are the best, etc.).
I do hate efuse, though.
It's probably quite difficult to make a two hour movie from a short story in a book, not without additional drama, plot and suspense. Movie screenplays often differ from the original stories they're based on. Disney's Frozen is completely different to the Hans Christian Anderson story it comes from, The Snow Queen. One thing, movies are nearly always made for commercial interest, to get good ratings and awards, and to make $$$ for Hollywood, the Bible on the other hand wasn't.
How far does it differ from the biblical version? I've read the IMDB plot and synopsis for Noah, but haven't read Genesis for a long time, not since school, and I've not seen the movie yet. Might be banned in China anyway.
