First Tablet Using Pixel Qi Screen On The Way 97
Azureflare writes "The first device using a Pixel Qi screen has been confirmed. It is produced by Notion Ink, and it appears they took a few design tips from Apple by sticking with a design that has tapered edges. This tablet should give Apple a run for their money, especially considering the recently confirmed rumor of an Apple tablet. 'The Notion Ink smartpad measures 6.3 x 9.8 x 0.6 inches and weighs 1.7lbs; as well as the tri-band (850/1900/2100) UMTS/HSDPA, WiFi b/g and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR it also squeezes in A-GPS, a digital compass, accelerometer and proximity, ambient light and water sensors. Connectivity includes USB, HDMI, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microphone input, and there’s also a 3-megapixel auto-focus camera with video recording support. Onboard storage is either 16GB or 32GB of SSD, and there's an SD slot for augmenting that.'"

If you hate swap file, disable it and see how your computer works then.
Been running without swap file since 2004, if I go to swap I'm doing something stupid anyways. There are good things with swap files, but your computer handles fine without it. Hell I even use ram disks to get better performance in some cases, since I use flash as "secondary memory" I sadly have to use ram disks.
Think I'm going to start using the term Primary memory even though I thought it was a stupid term when I started using computers.

Yeah it works if you know what you're doing, but usually swap file is there for a reason.
It's there for when the operating system wants to have more data in memory than you have physical RAM. If you have 4 GB of RAM and never use more than 3 GB of it, the swap space will never get touched.

Apple does not own a patent on rounded edges yet.
