The German computer magazine c't has tested this recently (issue 15 of this year). Chrome is indeed the browser with the highest system load followed by Firefox and IE which has the lowest load. All browsers draw less current when running on battery powered systems.
But setting the clock tick rate to 1 ms will not slow down modern computers significantly.

It will slow you down if your battery runs out in a location devoid of power.

So far no mention of Windows 9, and the only story posted about the conference on Code Projects news headlines are about Windows 9.
Spreading crap like this makes Code Project look bad.

Microsoft also talked about forthcoming Windows devices, including $99 tablets, and even had some news about the next version of its operating system, Windows 9.
...
During the keynote, Microsoft's chief operating officer Kevin Turner told attendees that the tech giant was "really listening and taking feedback" about the next version of Windows from consumers, developers, partners and business customers, so that sounds hopeful. Windows 9 will also offer "game changing functionality for enterprise", apparently.
So it's been mentioned a bit.

No that is not Microsoft, nor did he say that.

Still feel sorry for the magician who makes a football game so amazing, but the fact is, possibly Klose needs it more, after all it's a game! 
Hats off Germany, next time Arg..!

I didn't feel sorry for him. To be honest, they were lucky not to go out to Holland.
As for awarding Messi the Golden Boot? That was a joke.

Peter, if you consider how he drag his team with one hand towards final, then it's probably not a joke. Other players have not so much pressure on their shoulder.Remember those games against Iran and Switzerland, Leo was the difference there?

If he was the difference against those two teams then they really were lucky to reach the final!
One man doth not a team make ... and that's why the German team won.

The Holland game was well contested by both sides... in the end, if you saw the penalty kicks, the best team (or goalie) won. Holland had a great tournament but they came up short.

And all he does is kick a ball around some grass. I'd weep an ocean of bitter salt tears in his situation.

I agree, no one should have to exist under such inhumane conditions!

CEO's only get pay raises by increasing savings. For a CEO to get 10 million raise, 100 million needs to be made.

Quote: increasing savings
But not laying off.

When I make breakfast in the morning, I take the easy route and that involves a microwave and something from the freezer. I am sure that CEO's choose the easiest path to the goal not the hardest ... mostly.

CEO bonuses are generally tied to profits, not savings. And no, they aren't the same thing.
|
|
|
|
|
EBITDA is a major contributor to CEO bonuses and is written into many CEO contracts. Also, lower expenses yields higher margins which has a positive correlation to stock price, which also is a portion of CEO compensation. No CEO worth his weight would take a contract driven solely on profits. That is too easy to lose. No, stock performance is a good one, EBITDA another, but not profits. Owner pay is driven by profits.

I guess this means the US will be able to fill those tech jobs which it was supposed to have openings for.
This is terrible news. The DOJ investigation of Microsoft in 2000 really hurt the tech industry -- broke the bubble -- and this probably won't be good either. So much more competition for jobs now. Who needs that!?!

Meh! Unless you are one of those being laid-off - this is actually very good.
Microsoft (today) is too big, too slow and too set in their ways. According to insiders politics between divisions often stalls or kills good ideas.
In hindsight, it probably would have been better for end-users, stock-holders and employees if Microsoft would have been split up decades ago during the DOJ anti-trust case.
