Figured I’d give him the overly literal answer.

1,840,000,000,000 floating point operations per second.

You know what would be mind blowing? If it wasn’t CG and was actually rendered realtime.
It probably isn’t .

It’s fine in most metro areas. But if you don’t get roaming when you get outside those areas you’re SOL.

It’s because of the bands used. Base level voice coverage on AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint can be in the 800-850Mhz bands. T-Mobile’s is 1900Mhz. This doesn’t penetrate buildings well.

Yes, but none of those heroes were men of steel. Superman would tear up that jet engine.

A subversive movie Nolan is involved in? Inconceivable!

Exactly. $300 is mid-range, and even then that’s high mid-range these days given the performance you can find at $150.

No, CoD runs at 60 fps.

Or the east coast, they have the infrastructure building there too.

The Leaf is fine if the climate doesn’t involve temperature extremes. The problem is it’s battery pack doesn’t have thermal management so if it’s extremely hot or cold outside the battery will be too – neither is good for it.

That model is coming right after the Model X (which itself I believe is supposed to be cheaper than the S anyway)

With this repayment, Tesla becomes a success story for the Obama Administration’s green energy loans program

Just carried though right? Not original programming.

But there are other early games on the new consoles that look better than this. We’ve already seen them.

Or Crysis 1 for that matter. This Ghosts footage is really close to Crysis 1 level stuff.

I’m still rocking an 8800 GT. I played BF3. It looked better than 360 and ran faster.

To install the game data on another Xbox One, the owner of the new machine pays the game’s list price on Xbox Live.
Interesting it notes to install game data, not that you have to do it to play.
Has it been confirmed installs are required in all cases or is this an assumption? Because this quote would seem to indicate a single player game could play off a disc with no fee. But to game online and install would.

Install to disk and used game fees and restrictions aren’t mutually exclusive.

Kinect always listening, always watching.
It’s a piece of hardware, not Steve Balmer.
Kinect required for console to function.
It’s included, I don’t see the issue.
No clear answer to “always-on” question.
Except the question was already answered.
No clear answer on used games.
I agree, this is disappointing. My take on it is they have the technology, and are trying to gauge how heavily to implement it.
No direction on how sharing games would/should work.
That’s pretty clear now actually, it’ll be treated like used games right now. This is connected to my theory that they’re trying to figure out the exact details.
TV functions require IR blasters.
How else would it function? That’s how Google TV has to do it for most devices even now.
Nothing announced to stop the exodus of indie devs.
No more XDA is regrettable, but given the Windows Phone and Windows 8 stores I don’t see MS just dropping that kind of model on Xbox.
That train wreck of a conference. Also, did you notice they didn’t disclose the CPU or GPU?
How many AMD APUs are there with 8 cores?

Probably because there isn’t Battlefield on the Wii U. Why you you say lets play a game that you don’t have?

Well, Wii and handhelds. But Nintendo always had the edge on battery life because of it – until 3DS.

Comment
Which is also based on a newer architecture. The Wii U CPU is very slow overall.
-
Comment
Exactly. The display, even on a phone, is the main thing that drains the battery. Even if the SoC ends up using an extra half watt or even more it would still provide better battery life. Keep in mind by the time this can hit market LCD and OLED will probably be over 600 ppi.

How many times do you have to post the same thing?
Also, isn’t wifi still free in most hotels?
