Yes

I will stick my neck out and say that Apple are developing a i86 version of its mobile processor.

Why,

Because Apple want to ditch Samsung,

Because Intel needs to take on Arm on at Mobile, Winning Apple would be a watershed for intel and beginning of the end for Arm dominance (in that Market),

Because Apple has done it before, it would not be a surprise if the code was not compiled already.

Because Intel has seen off every competing architecture that has threatened it.

Because the technological challenges are solvable.

Because of the blurring of the lines between mobile portable and desktop, and its easier to support one architecture than two

Beginning of the end for the BBC?

Its (BBC) totally flat footed response to this, and its commercial enemies circling like sharks, lead me to believe.

There was at the very least negligence and a failure of duty of care by BBC managers at the time, and even plausibly some collusion with other BBC employee's over the crimes committed allegedly by JS.

Either way those who would dismantle the BBC have never had such an issue over which to attack it. if there is one thing the general public will never forgive its child abuse..

Having got that cynism out of the way the truth needs to be known, even at the expense of the BBC.

One thing where i would disagree with the article is over luis Theroux, his documentary with Savile completely failed to expose the man, or even a suspicion of what he was up to, the only moment in the whole thing that Jimmy allowed the act to slip was over his enforcer role when he was a nightclub manager, even then he painted himself as a protector of young women as i remember, all be it a volent one to any would be aggressor.

This guy ether fooled or intimidated everyone it would seem , including and not surprisingly his fellow creatives, egomaniacs, luvies at the BBC and the general public.

he government has had its head in the sand on this from the get go, If we can't afford to run the ones we have with just three or four helicopters on them, at the most. how will we afford ones twice as big with 20 fast jets, this is another project that at the very best will yield expensive vulnerable floating box, most probably will soak up billions tike MRA4 Nimrod and be cancelled. Already its to late to start again and build a sensible option, Nuke power / F18, or a less sensible option gas turbine / F18. I Think at the design stage they stripped away the capability for CAT's and Traps with the propulsion choices, with only two powerful gas turbines is it really fast enough to Trap, plus power and house the CAT's

The 35b fill face the same issues as the sea harrier, not enough power for long missions missions with effective weapons loads, particularly now the more powerful engine option is cancelled.

Now the government is caught in dilemma either go with the brain damaged and expensive to operate current config, or go back to the drawing board and beef up the design. (probably to late and way too expensive).

It goes back to duff choices made at the start of the project, unwillingness to be truly face up to the cost and a constant push to build it as cheaply as possible and with locally sourced resources

Put it out of its misery before we spend any more on it,

I understand why this is not cheaper, that just not Apples market, let Dell and lenovo etc fight it out down there,

At a thousand quid i dont understand why its not better specified.
