Oh my... How will they ever do R&D without PR specialists! Puh-lease, not that I'm convinced apple is planning on building a car, but this indicates nothing.

Oh jeez, here it comes from the apple haters:
I owned an iPhone and and the original iMac (and ever apple model since) but Im trading my iPhone for android now.  Apple ecosystem is loosing now, its a a walled prison where you can't even decide what OS you want to run. they are horrible, ever since Steve died... They are looser.... -o crap-... Eeeeiiiiiiiiiii!

Besides thieves who download music/movies, who else uses BT?

Most of the major Linux distros who use it for downloading OS updates. All the mirrors, even those at universities offer BT versions of Linux.

Functionally (but not completely) false

All those who defend the torrent, usually cite these kinds of uses (though you didn't mention that the torrent is a option for any distro that I have ever seen (with mirrors being by far the preferred method) But... what you fail to disclose is that the overwhelming bulk of torrent traffic IS wares, video (copyrighted) and music (copyrighted) You can pretend that it has legitimate uses (and perhaps it COULD) but for now it is (almost completely) a channel for pirated goods.

The alleged win by TSMC was reported by China's Economic Daily News, as highlighted by DigiTimes. It claims that TMSC will use a 10-nanometer FinFET process for the "A11" processor in 2017, with production beginning as soon as the second quarter of next year.

Just as an aside....at 10-nanometers, we're pretty close to the limits of physics on die shrinks for processors, arn't we? I'm definitely not an expert, but I keep hearing 7-nanometers is about as small as we can reliably go. They'll probably reach that next year or the year after.

What's next on the horizon?

Vertical stacking of transistors

Is there anything worth watching on ABC? Serious question.

Sure, modern family is funny, Quantico isn't bad, red band society wasn't bad (although they cancelled it) Ok perhaps you are half right... there isn't much. But, there isn't much on any one network (including independents like HBO and Netflix) if you can manage to produce even a handful of worthwhile shows you are doing pretty good.
