  Yes/no.

  The linux scheduler is a work of art - heuristics to dynamically determine resource access priority, checks for resource locking that are some of the most elegant pieces of code written by humanity, incredibly adaptable and clever pieces of code. It took me the better part of a year before I really understood the underlaying mechanics, and even now I could by no means reproduce it on my own. It’s truly an amazing bit of mathematics.

  Windows solves the same problem by randomly elevating processes to maximum priority.

  Depressingly, they’re equally effective.

  While I get it, it does look pretty damning, skepticism when we haven’t been presented with rigorous documented testing is always good. I don’t think gamersnexus is going to find different results, but I’m pretty damn sure they’ll at least be comparing chipsets to ensure the hardware actually is identical. Lets not be apple fans and leap to the top of the superiority heap just because a good looking infographic said we should.

  It is also – and don’t let anyone fool you here – absolute codswallop. The video is pure CGI, and even as a concept, this is as blue-sky as they come.

  They evidently have a demo model that can “stand and pose” so that’s neat I guess, but sadly it is not real beyond that.

  So many of their most beloved features are crazily dev intensive to maintain, and critically they’re not static. Amazon never really updates their consumer interfaces, steam is constantly adding new features and reworking their old ones across all their UX. Its just not economically feasible to pop in and replace them if you’re a publicly traded company, the shareholders would look at the maintenance costs alone and faint

  So… what? Did they claim this was going to have unaffiliated outsiders on it? I’m really not sure why this is even remotely newsworthy. (Genuinely confused, to be clear, if I’m missing something not in the article please let me know)
