Apple - the largest consumer of microprocessors

Component suppliers have become one of the most generous sources of rumors about Apple in recent years. To some extent this is due to the fact that Apple itself has access to an increasing number of manufacturers of electronic components. Its products are becoming more difficult from a technical point of view. Accordingly grow and purchase of microprocessors, which will record in its volumes this year.

Analyst firm iSuppli published the results of another calculation of global procurement of components in 2013, according to which, Apple will once again become the world's largest consumer of electronic chips. In 2011 the company spent $ 23 billion on such "iron" - 50% more than its nearest competitors in the market. This year, this amount is expected to reach 27 billion, and next - $ 29 billion.

Second place in this ranking is Samsung, which spent $ 15 billion in microprocessors in 2011 and planning to give up another 16 billion dollars for the same purpose before the end of, 2012. However, Samsung is also the not only one of the largest consumers of electronic chips, but also one of the largest manufacturers. What percentage of purchases Apple played processors from Samsung - a big corporate secret.

Samsung Galaxy Note II: the flagship of the above

The range of Samsung smartphones are very wide, and to ensure that customers are not confused in the branded gadgets, the manufacturer must observe the principles of continuity. This means that every smartphone should have a certain name, their direct ancestors and descendants. Presumably, this happens with your smartphone Galaxy Note, and this fall it will be released the second version.
Samsung Galaxy Note II

These considerations are outlined in its new concept designer Bob Freking (Bob Freking), the work became known as Samsung Galaxy Note II. As you can guess by the designer and the execution of the general logic of the device is an extension introduced three weeks ago, the flagship Galaxy S III. Both phones are "brothers", but Galaxy Note II is a bit larger, and the design of its more stringent.


The author of the concept was not too lazy, and listed the main characteristics of the conceptual toys. There is something to be proud. Samsung Galaxy Note II features a proprietary Quad-Core Exynos clocked at 1.8 GHz. It is possible that by the time the official announcement of the smartphone Korean manufacturer will release an improved version of the chip based on ARM Cortex-A15. Diagonal screen Galaxy Note II is already 5.5 inches with a resolution of 1080x1920 pixels, if that makes sense in these dimensions.

Overview of Wi-Fi weights Withings Body Scale

After reviewing the baby monitor Withings Smart Baby Monitor, I really became interested in production of Withings. I had brought from the States Scale Body Scale, which the whole family immediately fell in love. They do not just show your weight, but the monitored weight changes through a remote server of the manufacturer.

At the very beginning to do three simple steps: setting connection Body Scale in the home Wi-Fi network and server to have a personal profile on the link and download start.withings.com free application WiScale [iTunes link], through which we will follow the changes of weight the whole family. All will take approximately five minutes.

In principle, the same can be done through a web interface, but it is not convenient.

The most fucking chip is that the scales themselves determine who they should at this point, and record the readings in the appropriate profile. Here's how it works: I ask a son to stand on the scales.

The measured mass is transmitted to the server, where among the family members searched for the most close to this value. It is seen that 14.6 kg were assigned to this son, as evidenced by the name that appears in the upper right corner.

Bright band in the status bar displays the normal limits of body fat is equal to the difference between your weight and muscle mass. In each they own. If you want to know the personal standards, visit the following link.

For example, at my height and age limits of normal muscle and fat mass as follows:

But that show the scale.

Typically, you can set yourself goals, then the screen will display the weight that you have left to throw to keep yourself in shape.

The package includes four AA-batteries, USB-cable for initial setup of the weights, pads on the legs (if you have a carpet at home) and a proprietary tape to measure growth.

The choice has a black and white.

I recommend to watch the video, which graphically displays all the features of this amazing device.

Pros:
- Ease;
- Functionality;
- Design;
- Support for iOS and Android;
- During the operation - not just a visit to thoughts about weight, but active steps to reduce it.

Cons:
- Heavy, 2.3 kg;
- Requires the availability of wifi-router to support all functions;
- Price. Scales on Amazon costs $ 150 (shipping to Russia, no). In Moscow you can buy for $ 350.

A racing car of the future of the company Nike

The futuristic car racing Nike One, designed for 2022, was designed specifically to control the simulator Grand Turismo 4. Phil Frank, who is the head of the studio Phil Frank Design, said that this development may well boast of using it in future technologies, which have a sports focus. In terms of what the company is Nike sportswear company, has been developed and this car. In order to create a whole team put tremendous effort in the process of considering all the nuances and detail in the movement of the human body and its dynamics.

In the words of one of the developers, front and rear wheels have a different gauge of what inspired the creators of the sprinter, who is on the launch pad. Moreover, even an asymmetric profile of the tires is of human origin. Through the use of such innovations, the car has greatly added to the performance, except that now even the movement of the suspension is controlled dynamically. As for the suspension, then it uses the asymmetric profile of the tire, and she mimics the human muscles tense.
"You do not just control the vehicle, as a part of it" - continues the representative of the developers. Much attention should be paid to development of the car, because it is very important in order to feel at the peak of physical fitness. Driver's seat in the car, about the same as that of the motorcyclist, but is distinguished by the front foot. In order to get up to speed or slow down, the athlete must make an effort to use the muscles, as the hands and feet, so for easy management of a very important good physical training.

SCOOTER: scooter budget for the big city

The man is a very active creature. He can not sit long in one place, people constantly move over large distances. This means that it needs vehicles. It is desirable that they be personal, because with the public transport still has to go on foot. The concept of an inexpensive two-wheeled vehicles introduced TCOOTER designer named Eric Hahn (Eric Han).

Origin of name a few confused: TCOOTER TWEEL combines words and Scooter (Scooter), whereas TWEEL, whereas TWEEL derived from the Tire and Wheels, that is "Bus" and "wheel", this is related to the company Michelin, which has been developed for this concept. TCOOTER really sets an unusual approach to the propellers, the scooter is really executed on the custom wheels that are not afraid of any breakdowns or harsh terrain.

The machine is designed for large cities in developing countries. Incomes in these countries are small, so TCOOTER set the minimum price, however, the author of the concept did not express it in numbers. The major advantage of the scooter engine design is removable, it can be removed from the frame and used as a generator, if you need an autonomous power supply.

Apple is interested OLED-screen Samsung

Despite the exception to the rule as a new iPad, mobile gadgets like Apple, and in general all the world's leading electronics manufacturers are becoming thinner and thinner. Most likely, in the next five to ten years we will see the first device, the screen that will be bent - and with it will bend the entire body. Prototypes are already in full walk on exhibitions, and Apple hastens to be one of the first to try the taste of the new technology.

The Korea Times newspaper, citing its sources in the Asian community reports that Apple, «probably», ask Samsung to put a certain number of its flexible OLED-screens. Start of mass production planned for the second half of 2012. That Samsung has made significant progress in the implementation of this amazing technology, which led to a sharp rise in orders for products with its use, as recently said Samsung Electronics Chairman Kwon O Hyon. And when it comes to large orders something, all the analysts in a voice whisper the name of the company from Cupertino.

Until the end of this year will be made slightly less than one million flexible OLED-screens - not the most impressive figure, given the industry a huge appetite for mobile devices. This is a logical explanation. Production of any "futuristic product" requires a long break, which felt the LG and Sharp, have been unable to cope with time Retina-display for the new iPad. Korean journalists believe that flexible displays are not destined to appear in the sixth generation iPhone, but the next year - it is quite possible. This smart pen makers have called them «iPhone Yoga».

Ferrari shows a solid increase in sales in 2012

After the German automaker Porsche announced sales results for the first quarter of 2012, the Italians of the Ferrari also decided to show off their achievements, which clearly demonstrate that the economic crisis of 2008-2009 recede.

In the first three months of the new year, the company delivered the car in its 1.733-expanding dealer network. In the UK alone, sales grew by 31%, the United States can boast of 16%, and the figure for countries of the Middle East - 23%. But the most interesting point is that all new cars purchased from Ferrari, made ​​to order, thanks to the program Tailor Made, allowing the car to personalize to your liking.

Together with the impressive sales figures, Ferrari has achieved enviable growth and profit - 42.1 million euros, equivalent to 17% compared to last year. It is worth noting that the brand new model F12 Berlinetta has not played in that absolutely no role, since the first car sales will begin only in the second half of this year.

Convenient electric bike

Electric bikes, based on mountain bikes (such as the Terminus, and eSpire) is possible and good trails in the forest, but to give them stability on the sand dunes, snow and ice, what we see in the highlands, it is better to use the flotation tires that we and saw in 2010. The company is ready to present two models in 2012 - an added rear suspension to overcome the mountain trails and the second, which is designed specifically for golfers.

Studying the previous model, the chief engineer Dan Hanebrink realized that something was missing. To fill this gap, the eight-adaptive front suspension fork with a double and three attachment points were added to five-inch rear suspension Hanebrink III consists of an air damper RockShock for easy climbing up steep rocky trails.

The unique rear shock, copied from the rear air suspension Ducati, designed to increase the adhesion to the surface. Air suspension makes it easier to overcome RockShock steep climbs. It gradually becomes harder when you drive up, and just as slowly returns to its normal position, providing a smooth ride.

"This is a multi-tube approach" - say in the company of Southern California. "Instead of one or two large beams, lattice frame provides great suspension moves with no significant weight gain. The system distributes the load over a larger area, thus achieving high stiffness, but it lacks the weight associated with large amounts of metal. "

Hanebrink III equipped with a 750 watt brushless electric motor and 7-speed (available separately as 14-speed version) and 36V/9.6 Ah LiNMC battery with a power reserve is 20 miles (32 km). The frame is made from solid aluminum pipe (Aircraft Aluminum 6061-T6). The bike is equipped with front and rear hydraulic disc brakes and switch speed Shimano. Complementing the picture tubeless tires squat 20 x 8 inches on aluminum discs.

Take a look at the following video, where a prototype Hanebrink III overcomes a mountain trail in the Santa Monica:

90 lbs (40 kg) Hanebrink III is available in black, orange or regular colors with a starting price of 6.750 U.S. dollars.

Unfortunately, at the time of writing was not collected enough information on the golf bike models. It was created by the numerous requests from golfers. The model assumes zatrachivaniya rider did some work on the movement, in contrast to a standard electric vehicle. Also, it should be removed, such as the annoying little things problematic to maintain a lead acid battery and leaking oil from the leading transmission.
Bicycle frame slightly modified to facilitate access to the club. It also ensures the stability of your "horse" in the heat of the game do not have to pay attention to it. It is not known when this model goes on sale, but we'll keep you posted.

Battery Samsung Galaxy S3 fulfills promises

Network GSM Arena managed to get to one of the first examples of a new flagship smartphone Sasmung Galaxy S3 i9300 and decided to do some research. QUESTION: - is it really a new flagship battery works as much as promised in the advertising device.

During the day, journalists tested the device and found that the total charge Barati Galaxy S3 is enough for:

10:00 20 minutes of talk time;

5 hours and 17 minutes of Web-browsing;

10 hours and 1 minute of video playback.

As a comparison, GSM Arena has made a special table that shows the time of smart phones in talk mode, web surfing and video playback. First place in all the tests, as expected, took the Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX from Verizon for its non-removable monstrous battery capacity 3300 mAh.

Dubai and its new ambitious project

It seems that Dubai took a construction boom. The city has become home to a number of grand-scale buildings: the tallest building (unfortunately, not very long), the biggest mall and largest man-made island. Now plans for the construction of the largest scuba facility in the world. Several years ago the news reported about a similar project - Hydropolis (Hydropolis), which, unfortunately, was never built. If a Polish company "Deepwater Technology» (DOT) will result in the execution of their plans, the capital of the guests will be able to spend one night under the waters of the Persian Gulf.

This project will be used Swiss firm BIG InvestConsult AG, which will deal with construction of the hotel in the form of discs. The underwater portion of about 11,000 square feet (1,000 square meters. Meters) of living space will include 21 double rooms and stay at 33 feet (10 meters) below the level of the bay. The company plans to open a scuba diving center with a decompression chamber, spa, huge gardens, outdoor terraces in the surface part, and even a helipad for those guests who wish to arrive by air.

To allow for unforeseen events that often occur at sea, in the structure of the hotel have been made some changes. For added security, external drives are made buoyant and separated from the main part. In the event of a disaster they will perform the role of life-saving.
Wheels joins the huge transparent shaft, equipped with stairs and lift. Additional support surface part is provided by three adjustable columns.

President of BIG, Bogdan Gutkovskaya (Bogdan Gutkowski), suggests that this project will affect tourism in addition to many other industries. "Hotel Water wheels (Water Discus) opens up many new directions for development of hotel and tourism sector, housing and urban sector in the coastal offshore zones, such as new possibilities of care for the environment by creating a new undersea ecosystems, and actions to protect the rest of the world" - he says news agency World Architecture. "Additionally, we plan to create here in the UAE, and the center of an international program for environmental protection to the hotel as a laboratory for the study of ocean and deep sea."
Sure, it's grandiose plans.

While the idea is far from its implementation. Although the technologies have changed a lot and can now engage in underwater construction, which suggests that this and similar projects are not so far from reality, as it seems.
The famous oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau has represented projects controlled underwater colonies, which will allow fans of underwater life to do his favorite thing. Draft Water Discus can actually be one of them.

Record number of new Audi models

The intention of the German automaker Audi to increase the rate of sales to a half million cars per year and expand its influence in the markets of China, Germany and the United States in 2015 is now met with harsh realities, forcing the company to withdraw a little from his plan.

However, this goal Audi began actively campaigning for the registration of new models, starting with Q6, Q8, R6, S2, S9, RS1 and the RS8. Some of these names, such as Q6, RS1 and RS8 are already familiar, while the remaining four - is a completely new car, which had not previously been heard and rumors.

Most likely, the S2 model will become more athletic version of A2, and assumes the appearance of S9 A9 in the near future. As for the model R6, it will be a new sports car company, which will take a niche under the current R8. Q8 SUV will be a senior fellow of the existing Q7, representing a very large and luxurious SUV, which the company has ever offered.

iMore: the final design of the next iPhone is not yet defined

The story develops in a spiral, and usually after there is a new iPad (funny pun turned out), the public begins to focus on the future model of iPhone. Constantly there are some rumors, assumptions, concepts, in general, the usual thing, and now just such a period. Moreover, the situation was quite tense, because the next iPhone, according to the update cycle of Apple (3G-3GS, 4-4S) to be severely altered in comparison with its predecessor not only filling, but also in design. Editor in Chief iMore, Rene Ritchie (Rene Ritchie), procured from their own "reliable sources" interesting information about the iPhone and the sixth generation, amid mass hysteria, by its nature it resembles "the spitting image of a hot body to a tub of cold water."

The giant screen, as in modern monstrofonah based on Android? Forget! Widescreen display with 16:9 aspect ratio? No way! Metal back panel? Yeah, dreaming! That's because Ritchie dispelled the dreams of some users to the nines, and for good reason. He said the reason for such a bold speculation and allegations involving "close to Apple sources, who with his own eyes have seen the new iPhone» is the active creation and testing of prototypes within the company.

Johnny Ive and his design team does not trust the sketches or plastic crafts, have touched the future of the product with their own hands, to feel how it would be in the palm of your hand which will give tactile feedback. Engineers and designers are also easier to work with the prototype, not only with circuits on paper or PC. These prototypes are the most often are the source of rumors about what would look like a new product. And in fact, as noted by Ritchie, the final design of the next generation iPhone is not even defined. Nevertheless, some important points have already been approved.

Thus, the Home button will remain a fundamental change in the mechanics of the interface iOS is not expected. Work on the new, more compact dock-connector really is, but no major changes are foreseen for the display. If we decide to Apple and to increase the screen size, then it is unlikely to exceed 4 inches. But most likely, the company will retain a 3.5-inch display. In principle, due to ease of iOS, it is quite comfortable for virtually any tasks (writing, based on personal experience, which includes a comparison with 4,3 - and 5,3-inch units), except for viewing video, although you can get used to it.

In addition, work is underway on the introduction of LTE-modem in the iPhone and the rejection of the maps Google, as a standard application iOS. It is expected that the release of the gadget will be held in October this year. At the same time can happen and start the 7-inch iPad.
