Life cannot get much better than this for mobile computing or computing in general for most consumers until 14nm comes along in a year or so… From now on small cheap computers will not be associated with whimpy performance. More of what they do will be done in specialized hardware with a significant increase in speed.

Here’s a gadget announced today from Nvidia using Tegra 4:

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
