You would need a new motherboard regardless if they changed the socket or not. You would also need new RAM since the RAM requires lower operating voltages.
They probably did this so you don't try to plug in the new CPU on your old motherboard thinking it was a straight upgrade when it requires different circuitry.
Stopping malware by forbidding people from programming the device on their own entirely is like preventing car accidents by making everyone use public transportation.
That's not really true, I'm just a Joe Schmoe and I'm making apps for my own iPad already, Apple didn't stop me, they just setup a small pay wall for it.
I don't believe that's true. Developers will go to the platform they can make the most money with, and as it stands Apple has well over 90%+ of the Mobile App market.
The iPad is the only Apple product I currently own. Had a first gen iPhone, traded to a Palm Pre.
I use a full blooded PC, self built. Core i7 920@4ghz, GTX470, 6GB DDR3-1600 RAM, 1TB HD, 80GB SSD, running with Gentoo Linux + Windows 7 and a copy of OS X 10.6 under VMware.
I also had an HP Mini 311 with 2GB ram and Windows 7 before getting my iPad. I like the iPad a LOT more.
For rather obvious reasons, what was the last piece of iPhone malware you saw or heard about?
If you want to develop for it you get a developer license. It may be your device but it's their software platform and you have to play by their rules. They're obviously doing something right considering the nearly 90million devices using their mobile OS. If you don't like it, there are plenty of competing products that will allow you to develop whatever you want on the device.
Yes because it provides the all mighty $$ incentive. When devs can reach a large target audience without fear of piracy, they will be more attracted to the platform.
I'm offended by Apple only allowing software to be distributed through their store, and only allowing people to develop software for their own personal use if they pay a fee.
How many people actually develop software for their own personal use?
I can point you towards a slew of devices where you have to be a registered developer in order to develop for the system, and usually you have to pay a heck of a lot more then $99.
64 gigs of flash memory is nothing if you want any kind of video and audio storage.
I only have the 16gb iPad, but I'm able to access all of my movies via my desktop computer and an app on the iphone. The server side software on my desktop allows for live transcoding of files and I can access it from anywhere.
How is that a "silly" viewpoint? I guess you think that if the manufacturers want to control people, they should be allowed to do so, no questions asked.
Because that isn't an issue of the manufacturer trying to control the user but an issue of extra development resources necessary to make such things possible.
What if I had an ActionScript compiler for the iPad? Oops, not allowed.
They don't want applications that can execute code on the iPhone OS, it's not a crazy idea when you consider the security implications of such a decision.
There certainly is a goddamned problem if they want control over the "quality" of programs I create and want to run on my hardware.
Renting the "privilege" to use my own hardware is exactly what we are complaining about.
It's obviously not the right device for you then?
You also have to remember that they are trying to control the quality of the software that you write and is available on everyone elses iPad. The quality of this software reflects on Apple if their system is known to be a haven for shovelware and smut.
You seem very hot and bothered by this issue, how about you just use a competitors tablet device?
Just an FYI, I also have a Palm Pre smartphone, and the unregulated app market is a total failure on it. The entire thing is spammed with public domain $.99 books or people charging $.99 for random sports facts. But yeah, you know better. Not to mention that the javascript/html web app concept is just too darned slow.
Yes, there is something wrong with it, when they are actively preventing people from using their iPads in ways that do not meet "quality" standards.
I take it you have problems with consoles or hand held gaming devices too? I guess you won't be satisfied unless every product that has a CPU and a display is capable of being easily hacked and fooled around with out of the box. A rather silly viewpoint.
Oh, and just for your information, saying that requiring C/C++/Obj-C is matter of "quality" made me laugh a little.
That's nice, but compared to something doing translation from Flash to Objective-C, I'll take the native code, thanks.
Slashdot Mirror
I can do that with my 1366 socket too.
Not without a new chipset.
I don't get why socket compatibility matters when you need a new chipset anyways.
I believe the new processors are using PCI Express 3.0 and require more lanes/copper as well.
I don't get it, what does your post have to do with Boeing?
You upgrade the CPU/Motherboard/RAM. Big woop.
You would need a new motherboard regardless if they changed the socket or not. You would also need new RAM since the RAM requires lower operating voltages.
They probably did this so you don't try to plug in the new CPU on your old motherboard thinking it was a straight upgrade when it requires different circuitry.
Why is he correct?
I mainly use my iPad for web browsing, book reading, news reading, and playing games.
For those uses it works very very well.
That's not really true, I'm just a Joe Schmoe and I'm making apps for my own iPad already, Apple didn't stop me, they just setup a small pay wall for it.
At least you would have auto-correct. You seem like you need it.
The repost you don't want to read.
Eve online is real time...
They most likely use matlab and run the equations and positions through it.
I've written my own 3-body solvers and they can be very very very computationally expensive.
I don't believe that's true. Developers will go to the platform they can make the most money with, and as it stands Apple has well over 90%+ of the Mobile App market.
Sorry to disappoint, but I'm not brainwashed.

Yes it is in a sense, and there's nothing wrong with it IMO.
However, personally I am an ADC member and have been developing for the platform, I find it rather fun.
That's not true, as a general purpose web device it works great.

uhuh, and this is different from using any other device how?
What flash? Adobe still hasn't released flash for my mobile phone after months and months of waiting, they are dragging their asses.
Flash is a slow memory hogging buggy POS security vulnerability, no thanks.
Yes because it provides the all mighty $$ incentive. When devs can reach a large target audience without fear of piracy, they will be more attracted to the platform.

Fortunately it has enough storage space to last a transatlantic flight movie wise.
How so?

Accuracy for drawing or notetaking.
