Sure if they’re measuring power consumption by total number of commands executed on the processor, but it doesn’t really say what they measured. The other possibility here is that the new chip handles instructions in a different manner that doubles the efficiency, but consumes more power to execute each instruction…

And if we carry that further, if it’s twice as efficient and twice as fast, to get the same performance, shouldn’t we be expecting like, 60-70% less battery consumption?

At first I was like, “$100, amazingly cheap!” until I realized it’s basically a glorified Google Cardboard.

Speaking of jetpacks, some guys just flew a new design around NY harbor. They say they can get 10 minute flight times. This is pretty amazing.

Are you suggesting that the Predator is non-humanoid? Predators are very much humanoid.

Well, yes and no. Neil deGrasse Tyson said it really well: “If we have the technology to transform another planet into Earth then we have the technology to transform Earth back into Earth.

Ok, someone needs to do a massive super cut and re insert all of these scenes into their proper place and then re release the movies (again...) so we can watch the “complete” versions

For artificial selection, so as to get the females fertilized by best sperm available, which could even be from another country, so as to increase your yield.

Finally! A drone that’s an actual drone!

They have screen protectors for that... which people use on their non-shatter proof phones.

Very impressive. Volvo is an automaker I’ve always respected for their commitment to the safety of their clients.

You can slap an Iraq/Afgan deployed soldier on the back and get the same affect. This still works months after returning home.

Still beats the Death Star Canteen...

That’s like asking them to make it mandatory that all android phones come in white. That’s a hardware decision by the individual manufacturers. It’s also why I won’t migrate from my Note 4 anytime soon, but still up to the phone maker, not Google.

Ha! I love this!

It’s nice that both luigi and mario made the time to help out.

I certainly haven’t stopped watching DW, but I also must admit that the accents have become much stronger in the past few years and therefore even though I am a fluent english speaker and a lover of British TV shows in general I still miss some of the dialogue. I noticed there is a strong trend in the past few years…

I can’t understand why they would have British accents on Doctor Who. I just can’t fathom it...

One doesn’t have to spend $200 to change that. Even a little reflector tape or reflector disc would be better than nothing.

I could be wrong, but when Ice freezes, it expands... same weight, but bigger in size... seems like it should float. if I were say 10-20% bigger in size but retained same weight, I am sure I would float much better.
