  1. Just like Linus said - it is probably the best smartphone yet, and I'd be thrilled to win one from Linus himself. As for the skin - it looks beautiful and sharp, so props to dbrand and to Edzel for the design.

  2. All this talk about the camera itself, haven't you wondered what storage media is the phone going to write to? 4K has an uber-high bitrate, so I'm guessing the video has to be compressed dractically to fit through the storage bus and onto the memory itself. Referring to both volatile and non-volatile memory - during recording/processing and for permanent storage.

  3. I don't have a car or motorbike, but at one point my mountain bike was about twice the value of my PC  :D But it's the PC, bike wasn't that expensive. It had a much, MUCH bigger personal value for me.

     

    This is why I think Linus will regret selling his bike, one often gets much more attached to a certain two-wheeled vehicle, than to a 4-wheeled one. My 2 cents  :)

  4. I had a 4870x2 die on me - apparently a memory chip, connected to one of the GPUs, was just going full retard from time to time, but I tried disassembling, cleaning and reapplying thermal paste before discovering this... oh well, it'll never be forgotten. Beautiful card, I'm telling you  :D Other than that, I don't remember doing anything else than cleaning or replacing parts  :unsure:

  5. Nobody, even from my own small country  :(

     

    By the way, guys, has anybody met Linus or Slick personally? Excluding the moderators, of course, as some of them obviously know Linus and/or Slick before LTT even came to be; I'm just curious  :)

  6. Green  :D

     

    Seriously, red lighting looks aggresive, and I don't really like having that feeling every time when I look at my PC. Red-coloured parts (+ watercooling tubes and/or coolant) are OK in my book.
    What RaVenBelgium posted in shameless Comic Sans are the general psychological characteristics of both colours, and I personally agree. That's the reason I chose Blue.

  7. My slightly different point of view - maybe there still is old inventory, and unless their warehouses are reeeeeeally full to the brim nand there is absolutely NO room left for another box of new GPUs, for example - why throw them out; selling them at $10 even will be less of a loss  :)

  8. Heaven forbid, fans on a phone  :blink: I remember my uncle joking about the first Intel Medfield-powered smartphones being 2cm think and having a small, obnoxiously loud fan, and I really don't want any of that to become the truth...

     

    On a serious note, if it helps SoC cooling with the user barely (if all) noticing - no outside heatpipes, please :D, it's a good idea and I'm looking forward to Apple, HTC & Samsung doing something about it  :)

  9. Apple - unlimited* apps in one folder, unlimited** marketing lies and fake advertisement.

    * actually limited to 170, because who uses more? Screw that one percent, we have another 50 million iSheep to believe us unconditionally
    ** truely unlimited

    Also, something that pisses off the newbie programmer in me - how freaking hard was it to implement some kind of a dynamic array, so that you could add apps in the folder until you fill up the internal storage? Seriously, iOS programmers?  :angry:

  10. I don't think you could actually see them - twice the altitude of commercial air flights, and something tells me they won't be even close to an Airbus in size... so don't worry about supersticious people mistaking them for UFOs and freaking out, they won't  :D

     

    My personal opinion: if anyone can deliver 3G speeds from 20km away, it's Google. And I still doubt that's possible, but it is up to them to disprove me now  :P

    Somebody's been exercising sеquence convergence, yes?  :D I hope you've at least added "as n increases to infinity"  :P Some teachers do give crap for these little things, believe me  :wacko:

     

    Anyway, on topic (in the off topic section) here's mine:030728584-big.jpg?r=0

     

    One can dream, right?  :wub:
