Due to a change in the type of power plug that ships with smaller devices (i.e. the “magic little boxes” that us integrators install for clients) in the past several years, said devices and power supplies are more apt to be wiped out by lightning and power spikes than older supplies in exchange for a lower manufacturing cost. However, with a simple change in how you merely plug it in, you can alleviate this key disadvantage AND lower your electricity bill in one fell swoop.

So you have an iPhone/iPod/iPad, and you use it quite a bit. Every wonder just what data is sent to and from the device to remote servers over the Internet?

Many years ago, I was faced with balancing the emergency plans of our family owned business with those of my family and our parents. The attached document was compiled from a number of different sites (a collective wisdom if you will) that helped me coordinate the focus of everyone around. As Hurricane Irene appears to have lessened her stronghold on our attention, I share this information in hopes that it may help you. Also, please use the following web links to assist you with more information or should you want to follow the progress of the weather alters and our respective community responses.
OK America – our government is spending $1½ trillion more than our tax revenues. It is the equivalent of a household with a combined income of $50K spending $86K – funding the $36K shortfall from their credit cards!! How do we fix this beast which is clearly out of control? Let’s begin with a view of the playing field. In summary, the numbers are as follows:

The poverty index in Darlington is 81%. Wow! Darlington is performing significantly better than districts whose poverty index is 20 percentage points lower.

iPad
Ever since the iPad initially came out (and before it did, but that’s something I can’t discuss here), people have been in love with it – well, almost everyone.
From my little corner in the tech scene, I’ve been scoffing at it and its missing features for the longest time. And my criticism is not unfounded, as my credentials in the industry will show. My name is Anthony Cargile, I hate the iPad, and here is why.

A bunch of chicken-sh#! pencil pushers. I clump the S&P numb nuts into the same MBA crowd that stopped calling our US laborers people and staff, but instead “head counts.” After having read their release (highlights shared below), they have screwed with the wrong group of people, the United States citizens. Yes, we have elected these lawmakers and although they may or may not have fumbled the ball, the responsibility falls on the electorate. And just like a commercial I viewed a while back about the credit bureau poorly rating the head of a family working multiple jobs to pay off his debt simply because he was paying slowly… that fact was he was paying.

A modern processor chip package
Undoubtedly, you yourself have seen the rapid evolution of the processor (or microprocessor, if you’ve been in “the loop” for long enough). It’s fairly common knowledge that processors have gone from large, room-sized spaghetti messes of wiring spanning several human-sized circuit board to exponentially faster, multicored, nanoscopic masterpieces. But, where do they go from here?
This article, for clarity to seasoned readers, focuses generally to Intel architecture (x86/x86-64/IA-32/AMD64) processors used in generally all current PC and Mac computers, excluding certain ARM-based netbooks and Apple iDevices.
