Why Retina came first on the Macbook Pro 15", and why the next out will be Pro 13" and 11"

Av
After the fact, after WWDC, I normally wonder why I didn’t see what was coming, before the event. I’m sorry to admit that happened again this year!

As we saw with the new iPad, Retina screens need more battery power and more graphic processor power. Knowing that, how could I ever imagine a revised Macbook Air with Retina? More battery couldn’t simply fit.

The Macbook Pro 15" on the other hand was ripe for changes. With amply room after removing old technology and the optical and HDD drives. Together with taking away the glass screen, Apple managed to reduce the weight with one kilo. To go down another half kilo wasn’t possible just now.

I expect Apple to repeat this exercise with the Macbook Pro 13", and let it be next out with Retina. The Airs however, will have to wait on radical better battery technology.

The third to get the Retina screen, will be the all new Macbook Pro 11“, who will be only slightly bigger than the current 11” Air.

I think Apple will turn to the desktop PC after that. The Retina screen is so difficult and expensive to produce, that the big screens just will have to wait.

Last out will be the Apple TV.

55" Retina screens and up will be a huge undertaking, even for Apple!

Photo from Hotel Continental website 200 persons, mostly investors, joined to see what 20 startups could offer in Oslo after the finance crisis .

In that way they have create a Chess Attack, which can take you into the final stage of a chess party immediately. They have it for iPhone and very important, also as a physical board. uformia created software very well suited for 3D printing. The CEO Cherie Stamm was an American living in Norway.

10 argumenter mot EUs datalagringsdirektiv

Min korrespondanse er min! Den tilhører verken politiet, staten, teleselskapet eller andre. Lagring utover fakturabehov er en privatsak. Politivirksomhet må kunne begrunnes direkte i forbygging og bekjempelse av kriminalitet for hvert enkelt tilfellet. DLD tilpasser virkeligheten til politiets behov. Dersom vi setter politiets behov foran folkets rett til frihet tar vi det første skrittet mot en politistat. 2. Det er borgerne som skal kontrollere sine folkevalgte, ikke omvendt. Dette ligger i prinsippet om at all makt utgår av folket. Enkelte hevder at DLD kun lovfester lagring av trafikkdata hos selvvalgte, private teletilbydere. Dette er en avsporing. Det sentrale ved DLD er at lagring blir regulert av lovene. Utlevering reguleres av lovgivere ved definert behov og gis til lovgivere el
