4G is officially referring to IMT Advanced as defined by ITU-R. The LTE and WiMax (802.16e) we have now have not yet reached the requirements in IMT Advanced to be called 4G, and LTE is definitely not "the dominant 4G standard" as quoted in the article. Although IMT Advanced is not yet finalized and has to wait until October this year, the candidates include LTE-Advanced (3GPP LTE R10 and beyond) and WiMax Evolution (IEEE 802.16m).
4G as defined to IMT Advanced would give a 100Mbps peak data rate during high mobility and 1Gbps during stationary/low mobility.
LTE that AT&T and the rests would deliver 100Mbps downlink data rate but only about 50Mbps uplink, and only up to about 300Mbps when in low mobility. For the real 4G, one will have to wait until October this year to have the IMT-Advanced to become finalized, and that LTE-Advanced would hopefully be available in 2012.
You have very good points about MS's capability to turn up a nice and good tablet, but at the end, all these won't matter, as we are still going to use it because this is the only tablet the corporate recognize as a compatible device, and you are still going to pay for all those bug fixes...
if the Courier weight the same or less than a hardcover book, then it would be okay, otherwise, it is just another touch screen notebook. Oh, and I hope MS won't repeat their mistake in WinCE by assuming the same user interface on Win7 would also do fine for a tablet, it won't.
Hmmm...you seem pretty firm that the iTablet is real, and is a traditional tablet, making the Courier an immediate choice over them... I, for one, would be interested to know more about Apple's plan, care to shed some light here?
is no longer the trend here in Asia, at least in HK, Japan and S. Korea where we have cheap, unlimited internet connection over 3G from the PC or Notebook, mostly via HSDPA (7.2/14.4 Downlink, see Smartone-Vodafone), HSPA+ (21Mbps downlink, see HK CSL)
Naturally, it would be much more convenient if this is built-in.
In fact, many netbooks are already has HSPA modem built-in, and some are already working at 21Mbps speed, such as this one.

I failed to see how the two words patented and cheap could come together nicely.
I am using http://www.touchpadpro/ on my iPhone to control my Mac at a distance, over the WiFi. The TouchPad Pro work on top of VNC so I guess it should works with Windoze and Linux, too.
It should works with the iPod Touch, if so happen you haven't got an iPhone yet.

that when people close to one dies, it is consider impolite for one to be engaged in anything that bring happiness to oneself, at least until after the grieving period is over.
So, even if the Government didn't raise the "order" of this 3 days shut down, you would expect to see much less activities over these channels anyway.
Having said that, being "ordered" to do something which should be done self-willingly and out of empathy is still a bad habit that the Chinese should learn to get rid of.
Exactly! Since "committed and facilitated cold-blooded mass murder" has absolutely nothing to do with "industrial espionage". Those are driving from entirely different forces and demands, I failed to see your logic of relating one to another.
Stand back a little bit and take a look at the whole picture, not on one continent, and on a wider time span, then you shall have a better understanding of what's actually happening, why and how. It is always a global issue, not just between China and the US and is not only happened today.
The economic integration between North America and Communist China is putting us in a very dangerous position. The Chinese government has a well-documented history of utter ruthlessness, and will happily steal and duplicate every technological edge it can get.
Just like Japan 30 years ago
Does anybody believe even for a moment that the same people who have committed and facilitated cold-blooded mass murder on a scale we find difficult to imagine will draw the line at a little industrial espionage?
You mean the Crusade, too?
Corporations that are forcing us into closer and closer economic contact with China are making huge profits, and doing a good job of ensuring that our governments obediently facilitate economic integration. For the rest of us, this means stagnant wages and limited opportunities...all in return for access to cheap headphones, lead-poisoned toys and other gimcrackery.
And you think the issue is entirely on China and not the US companies such as this or this ?
The Chinese government is not our friend, and the argument that exposing them to the joy of capitalism will make their society free is exactly backwards.
No, obviously, more of a slave than a friend.
More, for these kind of trojans / backdoors, China is the late comer when compared to the US as you can see from other posts in this thread.
1. you can see the availability of your buddies 2. you can maintain multiple conversations in parallel 3. no expensive international calls when buddy is on the other side of the earth 4. you can exchange files around 5. it is much faster to exchange short messages than dial-n-talk

This is very unprofessional for Energystar to release such a claim without mentioning that these energy figures only applies to CRT and Plasma. In the case of LCD panels, there is no significant different between the energy used to display white or black, in fact, on LCD, to make black actually use a little bit more energy than white because one need to apply an electric field to change the polarization of the liquid crystal such that the back light will not get through.
Given the fact that recent trends of rapid decline of CRT market and the huge increase on the LCD market, I doubt changing one's web site to all black would actually make any difference in energy consumption.
> Well, technically, electronics doesn't have a wearout mechanism
Well, they do. The transistor, which is the very essential building block fo those "chips", got many different kinds of impact from radiation to the high energy electrons and holes (known as Hot Carriers, which causes damages to the oxide layers and the metal junctions) moving inside it. and it will render those transistors unusable in time, not to mention diffusion that work even when the electronics are turned off.
I think that depends seriously where you are using your notebook - in a hot surrounding, or relatively cool. Like my PB is working at it's fan always turn on because it seldom drop to below 20 deg C here.
How come this guy can't even tell the difference between the Mac OS X and Windows systems, and is so naive can write columns on a popular magazine?
To preserve the Mac's slick cachet, there is no reason an executive software layer couldn't be fitted onto Windows to keep the Mac look and feel.
What about the executive software layer that is beneath the "Windows"? Anyone? How about you, Darwin?
By maintaining its own OS, Apple would have to suffer endless complaints about peripherals that don't work.
