Not really at all about going the extra mile. It's about breaking an agreed upon standard, and the results are not always good. The reason why USB controllers have a limit to the amount of power they are supposed to be able to put out is because you it acts as a stop gap to prevent destroying...

No, that's not what he's saying. He's saying can you get an add on card with such. I was implying it's not part of the PCI spec. If it's built in, some will do this. Though his example of charging both an iPad and an Iphone at the same time should violate even the specs that Apple registered...

No. The PCI spec isn't rated for that kind of continous power draw on any platform, and no one would get UL certification to do it. People aren't that interested in shipping add on cards that should be emblazoned "FIRE HAZARD"

Tall nuts out in the fog with shooters or eaters behind them are the solution. And cat-o-nine tails are the all time secret on water levels ;)

Anandtech has review up with timings on the Ipad 3G speed.. it appears the big limiting factor is the ATT network, not the hardware --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The most interesting thing I've run into thus far is the fact that while...

Sometimes the RROD gets overcooked. It was a terrible design (I said so in threads in the gaming forum yesterday) but it was made far worse by people who did exactly what the instructions said not to do and put the XBOX right on top of other hardware where it was hot by default. The end...

I think this is one where and I know Apple people hate this, but where Microsoft really worked a doozy on them. Microsoft already has a deal for full cable-card support in Windows7, and thanks to the way the Spec is written, it really screws up Apple. SiliconDust, Velocity, etc. are all...

Sam: While it's interesting speculation, and I can believe some core upgrades and a performance boost coming, the idea of it running single core arm-processes now, and it will suddenly ramp up when we turn on another core is something I can guarantee won't happen. There are two big reasons: (1)...

Shoot. I have played with the ipad on a windows PC.. fire away. The one question I'll answer right up front is one that goes back a few pages: most major manufacturer PCs will -NOT- charge the iPad via USB (the iPad asks for more power over USB then is in the spec) , some Macs will, but I've...

My client who had picked up four returned three.. talk about shelling out 10% restock to play with something for a week. I don't think there is anything wrong with them, and this is certainly not a bunch of apple haters (they are all Mac there) the problem they ran into is that for some reason...

Well Sam, I spent most of the day playing with the iPad. Had a client who (is all Apple) and picked up several. I won't go into my long review, but let me just do a punch list: Excellent: All the reviews are right, the unit is astonishingly qucker then you'd anticipate. While it doesn't...

I'm waiting for Sam to comment on the 1/2 hour commercial for the iPad that was "Modern Family" this week..
