Here's an interesting tidbit about the new Apple iPad:

The New iPad's Biggest Advancement Might Actually Be Under The Hood

The New iPad’s Biggest Advancement Might Actually Be Under The Hood

Beyond processor specifications, Apple doesn’t usually have much to say
about the inner goings-on of its iDevice family, and the new iPad has
been no exception. From Apple’s announcement, we knew it would feature a
quad-core A5X SoC, but that’s about all. However, earlier-than-expected
“confirmations” indicate that the included RAM’s been doubled to an
entire gigabyte, and that the battery — previously a 9644 mAh (25Wh)
powerhouse — is now a gigantic 11,666 mAh (42Wh)!

On a practical level, it’s obvious Apple had to introduce a larger
battery to keep the new iPad on track for 10 hours per charge. After
all, that new Retina display sucks down more juice than Mr. Olympia, and
LTE — when enabled — is notoriously hard on energy stores. So, it should
be no surprise that Apple needed to up the battery ante.

What is surprising, however, is that Apple managed this drastic
improvement while barely increasing the overall size of the iPad itself.
And, since last year’s model was nearly all battery to begin with, this
means Apple has made quite the industrial breakthrough. Like ZDNET tells us,

*It suggests that Apple has managed to increase significantly the
power density of the Li-ion cells that it uses. In an industry that has
seemed stagnant for some time now, this is quite an achievement and goes
to show that Apple’s battery research labs and manufacturing plants have
been hard at work. There’s no doubt that we’re going to be seeing the
fruits of this labor in other Apple products soon.*

What’s more, these advancements are likely proprietary, protected
properties, meaning the Cupertino company has yet another strategic
advantage over its computing competition. It’s been a long time coming,
but battery life — at least for Apple products — may finally give up its
crown as mobile technology’s single largest limiting factor.

I really believe that the US is at the threshold of huge advances, but
to step through, we're going to have to solve the problems of
electrical storage: from phones to cars.

This sounds like good news.



Medical advances and energy advances are the future. Just the other day
I read an article explaining how a stem cell research experiment through
which kidney transplant patients might be able to avoid taking
anti-rejection meds the rest of their lives.

We do need to push the Troglodytes and the naysayers out of the way.

I am still a desktop guy but my wife is a road warrior with a mobile
something or two all the time. The thing that is significant about
Apple is the price never drops and they advance in baby steps.
Even my German friend (remember the conversation that ended in me
being a hobbyist) has started to think that the rigid architecture
around Apple is confining. He is the one who didn't want to know he
had a computer.



I used to be concerned about having a "bleeding edge" desktop machine,
but after I bought my first Apple computer, those concerns faded. My
current Apple desktop has an Intel i7 CPU and seems more than fast
enough for what I do with it, which is writing for $$$, emails, web
surfing, et cetera. I could sell it for a good price right now and buy
the latest Apple desktop, and it would be faster, I suppose, but so
what? My laptop is now four years old. It's certainly more than adequate
for the use to which I put it, although I am thinking of selling it -
it'll still fetch around $750 - and getting the new iPad.

I don't feel "confined" by Apple's architecture. I "jailbroke" my iPhone
4s about a month ago so I could use some non-App store apps I like. The
phone performs well for me most of the time, though I wish the phone
vendors would spend more time improving the "phone" aspect of their cell
phones and less time on dumb**** like built in cameras.

I'm sure all will be revealed to those who read the articles and look at
the videos after the first few teardowns of the new iPad. I've read
about a dozen articles so far in which there have been various
"speculations" about what Apple has done in the battery. I know
advances in batteries and battery life annoy you and your fellow
troglodytes, because the technologies might help hasten the end of
dinosaur fueled cars.

I'm tempted by the new iPad, enough so that I am considering selling my
MacBook Pro and getting one. The claimed 10-hour battery life for the
new model, despite its higher definition screen, is very attractive. And
free wi-fi is pretty much available everywhere we go, so I see no need
to spend anything extra to buy the "4G" model or pay the monthly charges
for "4G" service. Besides, I'm sure the iPad can be "tethered" to a
cellphone with network service.

Harry, my wife keeps me abreast of the advances in battery technology.
Right now she is evaluating a set of Lion cells for quality and
performance. I am not annoyed by advances in battery technologies, I
understand the good, the bad and the ugly side of them.

The EPA and its regulations has forced all but one battery manufacturer
off-shore.

I'm tempted by the new iPad, enough so that I am considering selling my

Get the 4G, the ability to use it anywhere you can get a signal is worth
the cost. Subjecting yourself to all of the Wi-Fi networks is dangerous.

But, I wouldn't buy one for several months. Let others find out how good
the "new" batteries are.

Here's an interesting tidbit about the new Apple iPad:

The New iPad's Biggest Advancement Might Actually Be Under The Hood

The New iPad?s Biggest Advancement Might Actually Be Under The Hood

Beyond processor specifications, Apple doesn?t usually have much to say
about the inner goings-on of its iDevice family, and the new iPad has
been no exception. From Apple?s announcement, we knew it would feature a
quad-core A5X SoC, but that?s about all. However, earlier-than-expected
?confirmations? indicate that the included RAM?s been doubled to an
entire gigabyte, and that the battery ? previously a 9644 mAh (25Wh)
powerhouse ? is now a gigantic 11,666 mAh (42Wh)!

On a practical level, it?s obvious Apple had to introduce a larger
battery to keep the new iPad on track for 10 hours per charge. After
all, that new Retina display sucks down more juice than Mr. Olympia, and
LTE ? when enabled ? is notoriously hard on energy stores. So, it should
be no surprise that Apple needed to up the battery ante.

What is surprising, however, is that Apple managed this drastic
improvement while barely increasing the overall size of the iPad itself.
And, since last year?s model was nearly all battery to begin with, this
means Apple has made quite the industrial breakthrough. Like ZD

NET tells us,

*It suggests that Apple has managed to increase significantly the
power density of the Li-ion cells that it uses. In an industry that has
seemed stagnant for some time now, this is quite an achievement and goes
to show that Apple?s battery research labs and manufacturing plants have
been hard at work. There?s no doubt that we?re going to be seeing the
fruits of this labor in other Apple products soon.*

What?s more, these advancements are likely proprietary, protected
properties, meaning the Cupertino company has yet another strategic
advantage over its computing competition. It?s been a long time coming,
but battery life ? at least for Apple products ? may finally give up its
crown as mobile technology?s single largest limiting factor.

- - -

I like this...advances in batteries...

They are using bigger cells.

Wow, I wonder how many million dollars it took some group of engineers
to figure that out;) ???




There's a bit more to it than you morons can conjure, eh?

What is the "bit more to it" Harry?




I'm sure all will be revealed to those who read the articles and look at
the videos after the first few teardowns of the new iPad. I've read
about a dozen articles so far in which there have been various
"speculations" about what Apple has done in the battery. I know
advances in batteries and battery life annoy you and your fellow
troglodytes, because the technologies might help hasten the end of
dinosaur fueled cars.


Harry, my wife keeps me abreast of the advances in battery technology.
Right now she is evaluating a set of Lion cells for quality and
performance. I am not annoyed by advances in battery technologies, I
understand the good, the bad and the ugly side of them.

The EPA and its regulations has forced all but one battery manufacturer
off-shore.

I'm tempted by the new iPad, enough so that I am considering selling my
MacBook Pro and getting one. The claimed 10-hour battery life for the
new model, despite its higher definition screen, is very attractive. And
free wi-fi is pretty much available everywhere we go, so I see no need
to spend anything extra to buy the "4G" model or pay the monthly charges
for "4G" service. Besides, I'm sure the iPad can be "tethered" to a
cellphone with network service.


Get the 4G, the ability to use it anywhere you can get a signal is worth
the cost. Subjecting yourself to all of the Wi-Fi networks is dangerous.

But, I wouldn't buy one for several months. Let others find out how good
the "new" batteries are.


Did you tell her that she's not a good republican for embracing any new
technology? After all, Fox says it's bad to do that.

Well, typically the charge for what is being called 4G access is $30 a
month for two measly gigs of data downloading. That's a high price for
not very much data. I can "tether" for no additional charge. I don't see
much need for having "4G" access on an iPad, anyway. I can transceive
emails on my iPhone, and do all manner of web-related tasks on the
phone. I haven't been at a hotel without wifi for a long time, and
there's now free wifi at most airports and, of course, at coffee shops
and suchlike. I haven't had any security problems yet related to wifi
use, and I've been wifi-ing while traveling for many years.

I am still a desktop guy but my wife is a road warrior with a mobile
something or two all the time. The thing that is significant about
Apple is the price never drops and they advance in baby steps.
Even my German friend (remember the conversation that ended in me
being a hobbyist) has started to think that the rigid architecture
around Apple is confining. He is the one who didn't want to know he
had a computer.



I used to be concerned about having a "bleeding edge" desktop machine,
but after I bought my first Apple computer, those concerns faded. My
current Apple desktop has an Intel i7 CPU and seems more than fast
enough for what I do with it, which is writing for $$$, emails, web
surfing, et cetera. I could sell it for a good price right now and buy
the latest Apple desktop, and it would be faster, I suppose, but so
what? My laptop is now four years old. It's certainly more than adequate
for the use to which I put it, although I am thinking of selling it -
it'll still fetch around $750 - and getting the new iPad.

I don't feel "confined" by Apple's architecture. I "jailbroke" my iPhone
4s about a month ago so I could use some non-App store apps I like. The
phone performs well for me most of the time, though I wish the phone
vendors would spend more time improving the "phone" aspect of their cell
phones and less time on dumb**** like built in cameras.


I do have 3 running laptops, One is my weather server among other
things just because it is cheap to run and I always take a laptop on
vacation. The Dell I like has S-video out and most new hotel TVs have
either S-video or VGA inputs so I can stream, movies and play our
tunes in the room. It is also handy for looking at our vacation
pictures. I can roll them out of the camera, edit them and upload to
my web site on the road.



I use my home server to stream movies and music to my laptop and iPhone,
and, if I get one, an iPad.

Another non-intellectually based, totally devoid of meaningful content
post from "Earl."

Yawn.

Yes, Earl, I know. But I'm not using a PC as a server. I'm using a
server as a home server. I did use an HP WHS for a few years, but I sold
that one and got a server from Synology. At the moment, it has 347
movies on it, among other things, and it is also used to back up a
handful of computers in this household.

Now, run along. Your mommy is looking for you.

I used to be concerned about having a "bleeding edge" desktop machine,
but after I bought my first Apple computer, those concerns faded. My
current Apple desktop has an Intel i7 CPU and seems more than fast
enough for what I do with it, which is writing for $$$, emails, web
surfing, et cetera. I could sell it for a good price right now and buy
the latest Apple desktop, and it would be faster, I suppose, but so
what? My laptop is now four years old. It's certainly more than
adequate
for the use to which I put it, although I am thinking of selling it -
it'll still fetch around $750 - and getting the new iPad.

I don't feel "confined" by Apple's architecture. I "jailbroke" my
iPhone
4s about a month ago so I could use some non-App store apps I like. The
phone performs well for me most of the time, though I wish the phone
vendors would spend more time improving the "phone" aspect of their
cell
phones and less time on dumb**** like built in cameras.


I do have 3 running laptops, One is my weather server among other
things just because it is cheap to run and I always take a laptop on
vacation. The Dell I like has S-video out and most new hotel TVs have
either S-video or VGA inputs so I can stream, movies and play our
tunes in the room. It is also handy for looking at our vacation
pictures. I can roll them out of the camera, edit them and upload to
my web site on the road.


I use my home server to stream movies and music to my laptop and
iPhone, and, if I get one, an iPad.

You have a home server? Any PC can do that...


Another non-intellectually based, totally devoid of meaningful content
post from "Earl."

Yawn.

Yes, Earl, I know. But I'm not using a PC as a server. I'm using a
server as a home server. I did use an HP WHS for a few years, but I sold
that one and got a server from Synology. At the moment, it has 347
movies on it, among other things, and it is also used to back up a
handful of computers in this household.

Now, run along. Your mommy is looking for you.


Why do you have 347 movies on your "home server"?

Why don't you use the iCloud or some other cloud product?

I very rarely ever watch a movie. Boring, no thought involved, and a
waste of time. I'd rather go walk in the woods or something. I'll bet I
haven't watched a movie in a couple of years.

being a hobbyist) has started to think that the rigid
architecture
around Apple is confining. He is the one who didn't want to
know he
had a computer.


I used to be concerned about having a "bleeding edge" desktop
machine,
but after I bought my first Apple computer, those concerns
faded. My
current Apple desktop has an Intel i7 CPU and seems more than fast
enough for what I do with it, which is writing for $$$, emails,
web
surfing, et cetera. I could sell it for a good price right now
and buy
the latest Apple desktop, and it would be faster, I suppose,
but so
what? My laptop is now four years old. It's certainly more than
adequate
for the use to which I put it, although I am thinking of
selling it -
it'll still fetch around $750 - and getting the new iPad.

I don't feel "confined" by Apple's architecture. I "jailbroke" my
iPhone
4s about a month ago so I could use some non-App store apps I
like. The
phone performs well for me most of the time, though I wish the
phone
vendors would spend more time improving the "phone" aspect of
their
cell
phones and less time on dumb**** like built in cameras.


I do have 3 running laptops, One is my weather server among other
things just because it is cheap to run and I always take a
laptop on
vacation. The Dell I like has S-video out and most new hotel TVs
have
either S-video or VGA inputs so I can stream, movies and play our
tunes in the room. It is also handy for looking at our vacation
pictures. I can roll them out of the camera, edit them and
upload to
my web site on the road.


I use my home server to stream movies and music to my laptop and
iPhone, and, if I get one, an iPad.
You have a home server? Any PC can do that...

Another non-intellectually based, totally devoid of meaningful content
post from "Earl."

Yawn.

Yes, Earl, I know. But I'm not using a PC as a server. I'm using a
server as a home server. I did use an HP WHS for a few years, but I
sold
that one and got a server from Synology. At the moment, it has 347
movies on it, among other things, and it is also used to back up a
handful of computers in this household.

Now, run along. Your mommy is looking for you.

Why do you have 347 movies on your "home server"?

Why don't you use the iCloud or some other cloud product?



Pirated movies?

I think it is worse than that, content of a subject matter.



I admit to having a large collection of actual Sarah Palin video clips
in my "Humor" folder.


Are you having trouble getting it up?


Don't you remember a number of years ago Harry complained about only
seeing penis pills advertisements when he surfed the Internet. When it
was pointed out to Harry that he was the recipient of targeted
advertising based upon his surfing history he stopped telling us about
the ads he is presented with.

movies on it, among other things, and it is also used to back up a
handful of computers in this household.

Now, run along. Your mommy is looking for you.

Why do you have 347 movies on your "home server"?

Why don't you use the iCloud or some other cloud product?



Pirated movies?

I think it is worse than that, content of a subject matter.


I admit to having a large collection of actual Sarah Palin video clips
in my "Humor" folder.

Are you having trouble getting it up?

Don't you remember a number of years ago Harry complained about only
seeing penis pills advertisements when he surfed the Internet. When it
was pointed out to Harry that he was the recipient of targeted
advertising based upon his surfing history he stopped telling us about
the ads he is presented with.

I remember that clearly... He was getting sex toys too...



I hear your dick isn't long enough to *be* a sex toy...


Is that from comparisons of your collection of 347 movies?



Well, he's right... But it's disturbing to wonder how he knows that.. I
guess Harry really is the most proficient stalker here.

There's a bit more to it than you morons can

conjure, eh?

I am still a desktop guy but my wife is a road

warrior with a
mobile
something or two all the time. The thing that is

significant
about
Apple is the price never drops and they advance in

baby steps.
Even my German friend (remember the conversation

that ended
in me
being a hobbyist) has started to think that the

rigid
architecture
around Apple is confining. He is the one who didn't

want to
know he
had a computer.


I used to be concerned about having a "bleeding

edge" desktop
machine,
but after I bought my first Apple computer, those

concerns
faded. My
current Apple desktop has an Intel i7 CPU and seems

more
than fast
enough for what I do with it, which is writing for

$$$, emails,
web
surfing, et cetera. I could sell it for a good price

right now
and buy
the latest Apple desktop, and it would be faster, I

suppose,
but so
what? My laptop is now four years old. It's

certainly more than
adequate
for the use to which I put it, although I am

thinking of
selling it -
it'll still fetch around $750 - and getting the new

iPad.

I don't feel "confined" by Apple's architecture. I
"jailbroke" my
iPhone
4s about a month ago so I could use some non-App

store apps I
like. The
phone performs well for me most of the time, though

I wish the
phone
vendors would spend more time improving the "phone"

aspect of
their
cell
phones and less time on dumb**** like built in

cameras.


I do have 3 running laptops, One is my weather server

among
other
things just because it is cheap to run and I always

take a
laptop on
vacation. The Dell I like has S-video out and most

new hotel TVs
have
either S-video or VGA inputs so I can stream, movies

and play
our
tunes in the room. It is also handy for looking at

our vacation
pictures. I can roll them out of the camera, edit

them and
upload to
my web site on the road.


I use my home server to stream movies and music to my

laptop and
iPhone, and, if I get one, an iPad.
You have a home server? Any PC can do that...

Another non-intellectually based, totally devoid of

meaningful
content
post from "Earl."

Yawn.

Yes, Earl, I know. But I'm not using a PC as a server.

I'm using a
server as a home server. I did use an HP WHS for a few

years, but I
sold
that one and got a server from Synology. At the moment,

it has 347
movies on it, among other things, and it is also used to

back up a
handful of computers in this household.

Most prolific too.
