It is not just because of service plan resembling US market but Japanese's favor to Western stuffs. Japanese have been particularly obsessed with European luxury goods (accessories to bags), western cultures, musics, goods and whatever the fancy to them. iPhone of course.

Airdrop can choose a device to share. Isn't Airdrop secured??

Haha. They can't resist hormones and desire. Platonic love forever is lying. Japanese could do better as they have highly advanced porn and sexual industry.

People still buys. In business sense, it is funny. They cheated and impressed as much as they can and made really large volume of sale. Media reporting like this does not seem to make much difference. Other than few hackers/engineers/programmers, majority of consumers don't give a thing on benchmarks. Too bad.

Agree. Going 64-bits in general can benefit that more instruction sets, more data sets per instruction, memory access at repeating process. What's in this article is just quote by CMO that is a claim without benchmark evidence or whatever.

It can contain much more dollar value at same sized locker.

I mean it does its job and it is good. I would use it. But look at this case; test string inout [123:0] Asdfg

Exp (made it wrong in purpose) ^inout\s+\[[0-9]\: It just display "No Matches".

It would be cool if it kind of guide what exp you want to use to match test string. What you put in Test string is what you want to get.

Not bad. You don't have to jump around your regexp reference and editor. It does not exactly tell you why your exp & string does not match. It just show what typed reg exp will do.

Great advice. I will keep that in mind. Thanks

This is really inspiring. When choosing most optimized parts, is there a better way than parametric search in catalogue like Mouser, Digikey or something??

I could see why development service team always want to get more and more information about a project. Open it more, then you get better return. Fun reading.

Same thing goes here in hardware industry. Having Ph.D. does not indicate how good they are. It really depends on individuals and their mindsets. Ph.D. with specialized major anyway have learn things over at new workplace. So whoever catch up fast and do hard with 'i will contribute this' attitude makes better results.

Someone may argue about this but people with less advanced degree tend to obey more to management.

Here in Korean market, streaming service dominates. Many iPhone users have not even used iTunes. Why? $5/month music service gives you access to most K pops. Thats it. $5/month subscription for most musics. Depending on market conditions, a little lower priced downloading seems pointless But I use iTunes (iradio) as i have U.S. Account.

In terms of income ratio of Samsung, it is so focused on mobile business. Samsung mobile business income may beat rest of all samsung conglomerate incomes. Apple has been the biggest customer for Samsung FAB. As Apple were pulling out, it became like factory without running. Not sure why Apple chose both TSMC and Samsung fabs, may be gaining some bargain power, TSMC is one of the best. Qualcomm takes on the most advanced process with TSMC. AP is designed by apple and they can always choose which fabrication facility to produce. Samsung FAB and mobile business are not in the same boat

In ASIC RTL, two really important things should be considered. DFT implementable and synthesis friendly. Verilog with those two can only compete. In that sense, ARM is one of the best at it.

I am not sure if a static checker meant 'lint' but Verilog writer can be better being good at static check and static checker at next end.

Phone like phone we see today uses very highly complicated chips and its connections to each functional modules. Something that can be detachable easily can be really surprising.

Mobile phone SoC chip (Application processor) is heading into very uncertainty area as fabrication process require too small transistors now. Hope that dealing super sensitive chips, can be guided by chip experts.

Putting everything physically close in one chip is also cost and integrity issues. More functions in a smaller area = less die cost. Blok based components would have to consider how to compete cost where $10 everything possible SoC is ready.
