Walter s. Mossberg evaluation iPhone 5: endurance not shorten the map big setback

In this paper the author Walter s. Mossberg is the Wall Street journal science and Technology section Personal Technology, Mossberg 'S Mailbox and other columns columnist. These columns mainly introduces some latest consumer science and technology products and solutions, and answer the questions readers. The world's most popular smartphone now become apparent faster, thinner and more light, and at the same time, get a bigger four inch screen ─ ─ but it all doesn't make a battery endurance time is shortened, and at the same time continue to optimum hand and excellent structure.


The above is my apple iPhone to new rough impression, this kind of idol type mobile phone's sixth generation model iPhone 5 on September 21, listed. I have been to the new iPhone for nearly a week of testing, I like it very much and can recommend it, although it is a few unsatisfactory place, such as its own new map application has a large window, but also have a few big failing. In general, I still think iPhone is simply the best intelligent mobile phones, especially considering that it sitting on 700000 a third party applications and development of the content of available resources.
A new generation of iPhone price and its previous generation ─ ─ as 16 g foundation type price for 199 dollars, and larger capacity price model respectively for 299 dollars (32 g) and $399 (64 g), all of the above price is required with two years of contract.

Larger screen
The apple with competitors dissimilarity way to increase the size of the screen iPhone. It retains the original width, but increased the length in order to make the screen by previous 3.5 inches to increase now four inches. For those who like other mobile phone on the big screen (such as samsung Galaxy S III 4.8 inch screen) users, iPhone 5 screen cannot meet its preferences. Those competing goods of large screen not only a few longer, also want to wide some.
But, I found that and size greater than competing goods, the new iPhone the screen width with the grip and the operation more easy, I'm more like it. In my opinion, apple this way makes this phone use up much more comfortable, especially in single hand operation. Put it in his pocket and purse is more easy, when you take stick it on the face side when call also look more natural.
When you open it, you will notice the new larger screen can display more content ─ ─ six rows icon replaced the original five row; Don't slip can more program, such as the address book, mail and calendar, such as the provision of entry.
Although screen size bigger, but apple successfully in the iPhone and keep the original number per inch, so a new type retained the "retinal show" the effect, can present sharp detail. Screen looks is still great.
But there is a temporary shortage: many applications can't fill in the whole become big screen, have to wait until they upgraded to just go. But they can still intended.
design
The new model is not completely heavy design work, but with the launch of the iPhone 4 s last year, compared to its improvement is much larger. When you pick up the iPhone 5 at that moment, you will notice it much lighter ─ ─ in fact is light by 20%. Its weight reduced so much that you will doubt yourself take a display model, rather than the true machine.
But with many competitors differs is, it is not a new plastic shell, simple sense fragile cell phone. Although apple says it is the world's most thin smartphone ─ ─ a its generation model thickness decreased by 18% ─ ─ iPhone 5 keep the apple trademark soft texture and metal structure, this time it USES the aluminum back shell, replace the past glass back shell. And many apple products, it is very beautiful.
However, its design has a change is already make some people unhappy with the: in order to adapt to more thin body, apple for this type of iPhone adopted a new, more narrow interface to connect the power/data line and other accessories, such as speaker base. Random already contains a piece of new power supply/data line, but a new generation of iPhone owners had to spend twenty-nine dollars buy a conversion joint to continue to use their existing parts.
IPhone 5 also boasts of its equipped with a large number of new software ─ ─ but the old one of the iPhone through a free upgrade to iOS six operating system to have almost all of these software.
Speed, the battery and camera
Speed may be iPhone 5 the only one, you can't get through to upgrade the old section type software to realize the function of the big improvement. Apple finally let iPhone to access now the fastest cellular data network LTE, even if you have no access Wi - Fi, data download and upload speed also flew so fast. In addition, the new type of processor speed is a former generation type of two times.
Apple is not the first a support LTE network intelligent mobile manufacturers. In fact, it is to belong to the last batch. But, let its popular iPhone compatible LTE networks are crucial step, especially since the hottest cellular data network technology will no longer greatly reduce this mobile phone battery endurance time. Some other earlier compatible LTE mobile phone network, there is the problem.
I am in silicon valley and Washington, d.c., use iPhone 5 connection of Verizon LTE networks, the average for download speed and upload speed respectively for 26 million bits per second and 13 million bits per second, download speed up to a maximum of 42 million bits per second. Such faster than I am in Verizon slower 3 g network use iPhone 4 s Internet usually faster 10 times more than the United States and most families use Internet service is fast. Despite the use of LTE network only the data transmission has been an effect, but I am using the iPhone 5 call voice phone is better than the past to clear, the effect is better. I'm not call process interrupt a line.


I try out of these days in the iPhone 5 on the all kinds of operation, the battery can every day endurance nine to twelve hours. to

The guardian: Google unmanned driving a car or bring the next round of unemployment tide

The guardian, a British newspaper, online articles recently, said Google intelligent car represents the next wave of the arrival of the new technology, and the new technology will be completing many previous must by talent can finish work, and so reduce the driving skills of value, bring the next round of unemployment spring. The following is a summary of this paper
Almost in casual, the human world across a significant threshold. Last week, the California governor Jerry Brown (Jerry Brown) signed a bill, announced that since 2015 will allow unmanned driving on the highway in California. For most see this news of people, they may use disdain mocked. There are some people will be as it is for science and technology human too worship - "like the a few surface flags on the surface of the moon".
Brown is the governor in Google mountain view headquarters to sign the bill. Chose in Google headquarters this ceremony, because the company has always been a pioneer in the field of intelligent car. Over the past few years, Google refitted unmanned Toyota prius hybrid has been driving on the highway in California for a long time. These intelligent car mileage nearly 300000 miles, and only a traffic accident record - that the cause of the accident is a driver open car crashed into unmanned cars. Google driverless cars now already unmanned walk 50000 miles.
In mountain view at the ceremony, Google co-founder sergei Boolean (Sergey Brin) announced that Google plan in the next five years will be no one to drive a car to the market. As a response to critics, he pointed out that no one to drive a car than human control car safer. I think this view is reliable: the United States area every year because of the traffic accident died toll to 40000, many of which (or most) and relevant human error. "No one to drive a car have change the potential of human life," brin said. "The current traffic system can't meet all needs, such as blind, children and the elderly, or an intoxicated person who commits a crowd, etc." He also argues that, artificial control car efficiency relative low: automatic driving a car can make better use of road, reduce the size of the parking lot, because they can more accurately than humans to stop the car.
Despite Google advertising not to say, let us take a serious look at Google real achievement. Google engineers proved to us, as long as have intelligence software and all kinds of sensor, the machine can complete people usually think need people's ability to operation of the complicated and tedious task. This means that we about machine can do, cannot do what needs to be updated concept has come to time.
This is not just about in automobiles. Economists more and more difficult to explain, why in the United States after a recession period, create new employment rate is still far lower than expected? The United States unemployment population average unemployment time has shot up to 40 weeks, is ever a post-war economic recovery period the number two times. Economics theory and history tells us, when the enterprise growing or to profitability after that, they will buy equipment and hire workers. But now that was not the case. Enterprise is still in the purchase of equipment, but they don't hire workers.
So the work where to go? As usual, economists gives a variety of theory. One of the most shocking should belong to the Massachusetts institute of technology scholar Eric cloth lu Noel husband pine (Erik Brynjolfsson) and Andrew MaiKaFei (Andrew McAfee) in the man and Machine Race "(Race Against the Machine) book expressed the opinion: Google intelligent car contains computing technique progress represents the next wave of the arrival of the new technology, and the technology will reduce the whole society job opportunities. Many now is considered very security abilities (such as driving) value in the future or decline, could eventually worthless, at least in the employment market is so.
Perhaps you do not recognize Raymond · library this will (Ray Kurzweil) "technology singularity theory" -- that is one day artificial intelligence will beyond human intelligence, but you have to admit that cloth lu Noel husband pine and MaiKaFei theory may have its attractions. According to Moore theory, every 18 months chip calculation ability is doubled, and the theory are still effective. Many once we think need powerful artificial intelligence to do things, and ultimately proved so long as has the powerful computation ability can be completed. For example on the iPhone Siri, or now I write this article used Dragon Dictate dictation software.
There are some who question that intelligent car experience too too insipid, most of people don't like to drive. But don't ignore such a fact, in industrial countries, the car has already reached the peak, the number of drive is to drop year by year. Serious traffic jams drive to reduce the bring of fun, young people no longer like a movie American graffiti described in the age of the person be so keen on owning a car.
