There is something for everyone on this list and because the weather is usually warm and sunny this time of year, it could be the summer party of the year.
Your #lovecapetown weekend:What's on from Friday 28 November to Sunday 30 November, 2014
Natalie LeicherIt's another jam-packed weekend in Cape Town! We bring you our latest mix of things to do around the Mother City with everything from a festival of beer to a speedcube competition covered.
Exploring Tulbagh: Some hidden gems
Rob PetersJust 90-minutes' drive outside of Cape Town, deep in the Cape Winelands, lies the hidden gem that is Tulbagh; a sleepy rural village nestled in a mountainous valley, perfect for weekend getaways regardless of the season. With its natural beauty and rich history, Tulbagh is just aching to be discovered and explored. With a wealth of activities to take part in and loads of unique places to stay, here are some of my favourite Tulbagh gems:
OneRepublic coming back to Cape Town!American rockers OneRepublic will return to Cape Town as part of their 'Native' world tour next year.

5 Cheap & Cheerful things to do in Cape Town
The great thing about experiencing Cape Town is that you don't have to spend a fortune to have fun. Usually around this time of year most of us need to budget rather than blast our money, so why not embrace the philosophy that the best things in life are free … or perhaps rather, very affordable.

Date, time and coverage: Wednesday 7 November, 19:45 GMT. Watch it live on Sky Sports 4 or follow the action via text and radio commentary on ManUtd.com.
Form guide: United look virtually assured of avoiding a repeat of last season's failure to qualify from the group stages. The Reds sit proudly atop Group H with maximum points from three games after defeating all of the other sides in the pool. Braga have won both league games since losing at Old Trafford, against Maritimo and Gil Vicente, and are currently on three points - one behind second-placed CFR Cluj.
Ins and outs: Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Nemanja Vidic and Shinji Kagawa look certain to be missing due to injury. Sir Alex has admitted he may shuffle his pack and Anderson is a real contender for a start after being praised again by the boss for his substitute's performance against Arsenal. Anders Lindegaard may take over from David De Gea in goal if it's decided the Dane needs another run-out. Braga have no fresh injuries to report ahead of the encounter and should be at full strength.
Betting: Braga gave United a fright two weeks ago as they went 2-0 up at Old Trafford, and a draw in Portugal would send United through while a fourth straight win could confirm the Reds as winners of Group H. United are 21/20 to get all three points, with the draw at 12/5 and Braga rated as a 5/2 chance. And considering 17 of United's last 23 goals in away games in this competition have come after half-time, backing the Reds to win the second half at 27/20 looks a great option for anyone using the free £20 bet they can claim when registering with bwin.

France's disappearing orchards
French agriculture is in crisis. Like the milk industry, the fruit-and-vegetable sector is in trouble. The farmers have had enough. Rather than produce at a loss, they are tearing up their orchards. Our reporter Nicolas Ransom shared the everyday lives of these farmers who can no longer make a living.

Another unusual feature of Lamentation settings is the retention of the Hebrew initial letters to each verse. The Lamentations formed an acrostic poem, and the practice of Renaissance composers was to introduce each section with an extended, melismatic setting of the Hebrew letter. Together with the refrain 'Jerusalem, Jerusalem, turn to the Lord your God' which ends each setting, these elements produce a highly meditative musical atmosphere, as the harrowing texts of Jeremiah's poem are transformed into polyphony that alternates simple homophony with great elaboration. The three sections presented here are the third lesson on Good Friday (Coph. Vocavi), and the first and second on Holy Saturday (Zai. Candidiores and Nun. Vigilavit respectively); these liturgical designations ceased to apply after the promulgation of the Tridentine service books later in the century, however.

Photography; Inkjet Print, 2008
"Suburbia Mexicana is a five part project that revolves around the representation of the current Mexican suburban sprawl with a focus on the metropolitan area of Monterrey (MAM). [Fragmented Cities], the first part of the project, sheds light on the implemented neo-liberal economic strategies made by the Mexican government since 2001 that have pushed urban growth out of the regulation of the metropolitan urban plan. This has created contradicting policies that have let construction firms build more than 300,000 new houses around the 9 cities of the MAM. In 2008, the national housing commission […] issued 497,000 loans towards buying houses.... Consequently, this demand has granted a green light to developers to urbanize in ways where profit is sought out over the well being of the community, with roadways, parks and proper public transport systems standing far from becoming a reality. Amazingly even in the financial and mortgage crisis being lived in most of the world, the commission announced in June that they will position another 500,000 loans for housing in 2009. After photographing these landscapes for the past 3 years I have now returned to many of the finished housing complexes and learned of many misfortunes the new inhabitants are facing, the ecological impact and the increasing distance being formed between the well-urbanized city and these new fragmented cities in the peripheries; a new chaotic ambient to which México is growing into.
The different aspects of Suburbia Mexicana propose alternate narratives, which depict a global issue from a local perspective. I feel that my commitment as a photographer is not to denounce our need for a household, but rather to point out the struggle we face following the ideals of a capitalistic system while striving for fairer cities in which to live."

Choosing The Best Air Compressor For Your Need
Choosing the best air compressor depend on your job demands. Before you decide which type do you need, please define how and where will you be using your compressor? If you want to use for heavy duty use in your workshop, you can choose a model with powerful motor and larger tanks (>30 gallon). If you just want to inflate tires, clean duster on your computer or just handle occasional home projects you can get the smaller consumer models.
Factors for Choosing The Best Air Compressor
Below we will explain the factors for choosing the best air compressor, so you can choose the best compressor for your needs. There 5 factors to choose air compressor :
1. Portability
Portable model (2-30 gallon tank) are light enough to carry around or have wheels, but be careful you don't sacrifice performance for portability. Stationary model are designed to be bolted into a fixed area and wired directly to a building's electrical circuit. Generally, they're equipped with 60-80 gallon tanks and 4-10 HP motors. It's ideal for garages and workshops.
2. Power Source
There two type of power source: electric or gasoline. Electric compressors are the most common. It's easy to use in any area with a ready electrical supply. This model is better choice for indoor applications. Gas-powered compressors are a good choice for areas where electricity is limited or unavailable. Generally used by builders and remodelers because of there high output and convenience at the jobsite. These compressors emit exhaust and should only be operated outdoors or in well-ventilated work areas.
3. Airflow
Airflow is a combined function of the power and efficiency of the compressor and the capacity of the air pump. The volume of air a compressor delivers is measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM). The actual CFM changes depending on the pressure of the air in the compressor (measured in pounds per square inch, or psi ). When choosing a compressor, consider the tools you want it to operate . Multiply the highest tool rating by 1.5 to get the minimum compressor CFM for your needs. Compressors generally have horsepower ratings (HP) which indicates how powerful the motor is. Usually higher horse power motors yield greater psi and are capable of carrying a heavier workload
4. Tank Size
Compressor storage tanks are rated in gallons. Larger tanks store more compressed air at higher pressures. If you will be using air tools that require a high volume of air for continous use, than you should consider a larger tank.
5. Noise
Listen before you buy. It would be worth to buy an electric compressor that usually less noise. If you want to buy gasoline compressor, please remind to choose oil-lubricated compressors . The oil lubricates the moving parts in the pump to prevent excessive wear and also less noise.
That's all factors that we need for choosing the best air compressor. We hope this guide will help you.

Gemming: Since you are way over the defense cap, don't gem for defense. Also, you are gemming to hit all your socket bonuses the only one that is really a good idea to get is the one in your helm, but use a purple gem dodge/stam or exp/stam for that slot. All other gem slots should be +30 stam. Also put the extra socket from blacksmithing in your gloves and bracers.
Enchants: Once you get into a gear set that can keep you high enough above the defense cap you will want to put +275 health on your chest and armor on your cloak. Your legs need to have frosthide leg armor, it's +55 stam and +22 agi. Once you are comfortable with your level of threat put a heavy borean armor kit on your gloves.
Gear: You need to get that lvl 77 ring replaced right away, you already mentioned the clutch of fortification, so I'm guessing that is your next upgrade. Ick's thumb is not really a good choice for a trinket. The black heart drops in regular ToC5 so it is farmable you can just chain runs until it drops. Another excellent option is the glyph of indomitability it has bonus armor and an avoidance on use(the armor is what makes it good, the avoidance is kinda meh).
As far as what you can tank by your gear, I would say ToC 10 and probably 25 once you get your gems/enchants cleaned up and a couple of crucial upgrades. It does look like you are pretty new to tanking, so I would spend time reading the forums here and work on your skills in heroics. You don't want to get into a pug (or a guild run) and be overwhelmed right away. You'll learn lots of little tricks and what works for you as a tank personally and that will be key to you being sucessful in a raid.

giggle Better Basics Long Sleeve Striped Side Snap Baby Body (Organic Cotton)
Size: sizesize
Quantity: 1
This long-sleeved bodysuit is the perfect baby basic. It's a breeze to get off and on whether it's bedtime or diaper changing time, with its convenient side-snap design, and since it's part of our giggle Better Basics line, it's made of 100% organic cotton that's both wonderfully soft and reassuringly healthy.
Why it's a giggle pick We designed this line of organic baby essentials to be the perfect combination of quality and value!See Full Details
Meets the following giggle Criteria:
BEST BASICS: everyday baby essentials
HEALTHY: made with safe or organic materials
RESPONSIBLE: eco-friendly or locally produced
the giggle criteria: We've narrowed down the choices by picking only the best products out there. In other words: if we sell it, we love it, and we think you will, too! Each year, we talk to tons of parents to find out what's most important to them when it comes to baby and kids products. The result? Every product we offer goes through a rigorous selection process and must meet at least three of the following criteria to be included in our assortment:
Material100% Egyptian certified organic cotton
AgeNewborn - 6 Months
Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by jbcmoxie Convienent and cute I love the full body snaps on these onesies and the bold fushia and orange color. It's great. I just think it's a bit pricey for a onesie they can't fit in for long! December 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MOverseas Best onesie ever I got these for my second baby and love the ease of getting her in/out of them - I have managed to avoid having to pull onesies over head for her first 2 months now - so much less traumatic on all of us. I started with the 2 pack of cream and liked them so much, I ordered 2 of these - and they are so cute and cheery. The material is so soft and the side snap style works so there is 2 layers of fabric over the baby's tummy/chest, especially nice to give a newborn some extra warmth there. Love it and plan to get the next size up. May 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 Adorable onesie This onesie is so adorable and soft. My baby could wear it for several months, and I was so sad when she outgrew it. I wish they made it in bigger sizes, but I got the same colors in stripes in long johns. I love that it's organic and girly without being frilly. So cute! December 11, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 Great for newborns and fathers! My husband hated the onsies that go over our newborns head especially when the lil one is screaming. He loved the easy snaps on Giggle's organic essentials. I got the 0-3 mo and my bebe started fitting it at about 7 1/2 lbs. Love the stripes on this one! December 11, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by JulieB Never use pullover onesies again! After using these "kimono style" onesies we will NEVER go back to using the kind you pull over the head again!!!! Organic cotton is a big thumbs up that seems like icing on the cake. It is absolutely wonderful to lay this out on the changing table and put my daughter on top and snap right up. March 19, 2012

The Roomba took over the job of vacuuming the floor for many households. Now there's a robotic device that can clean your windows—both inside and out. And all you do is apply the cleaning pad and cleaning solution to the device.
The Winbot from Ecovacs Robotics (will debut on Jan. 8, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. A prototype of the product was shown at last year's show, and based on attendee response, Ecovacs decided to officially launch it this year as a commercially available product.
Winbot is designed to clean windows both inside and outside, and works by moving in a zig zag pattern across the surface. You prepare the glass for cleaning by applying suction pads to the bottom of the Winbot then spraying the pads with a cleaning solution. The pads moisten the glass, a squeegee gleans it another pad dries it. When the glass is clean, Winbot returns to its original starting position.
Ecovacs says a single battery charge is enough to clean both sides of a window. It is expected to sell for between $300 and $400. Ecovacs also offers robotic vacuum cleaners (Deebot) and robotic air cleaners (Atmobot).Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

Good for sprouting
7 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2683903 on Mar 08, 2010
Purchased at iHerb
I was a little apprehensive about ordering these because it doesn't say raw on the package, but they sprouted well for me. I did the short soak, and put them in a sprouting jar for a couple days, and little tails emergerd! Great for making blender pancakes, tossing into a soup, or just toasting and eating with some honey. Just remember that these are a fruit - my daughter has allergies to seemingly all fruits, and cannot eat buckwheat either.
Tastes Like Popcorn!

What I like about these is they cook in 12 minutes so you get whole grain goodness in a hurry! With the flavor of pocorn, we added butter and salt! I will order these again!
Red Hills Buckwheat Groats
4 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2044633 on Jan 01, 2009
Purchased at iHerb
This product is a traditional course in my Ukrainian Christmas Eve dinner of 12 dishes (representing the 12 apostles). Leftovers are added to any of the soups days and days after. Besides taste, Buckwheat Groats should be a staple that could be available in regular grocery markets. Perhaps this type of addition to the oats category may add wise consumers to "taste and see" how good it is.

I love this product. I soak it overnight in water, drain it and dehydrate it for about 3 hours on very low heat. It dries to a crisp and I snack on it as if it is nuts, or maybe I'm nuts! Tastes great, is crunchy and is even good in cottage cheese or as a cereal with cold milk.
Great organic whole grain buckwheat groats.

I'm looking for one of these as well. What did you end up buying?
Cintiq - Product Overview
I've been eyeing the larger Cintiq, but at the $2,000 price tag it's a very difficult purchase to make. Does anyone know of direct alternatives to this?
I had considered a Tablet PC, though if I would settle with a smaller screen I could get the cheaper Cintiq as well. The Tablet has the advantage of acting as a second mobile computer, but carries the huge disadvantage of not having the processor or memory power my desktop has for dealing with large photoshop files.
He got a cintiq 21UX
From all the guys I've talked to (I work in comics, and everyone works digitally), the Wacom Cintiq is unbeatable in terms of quality. I know a guy that's gone through at least 2 tablet PC's, plus another generic brand of tablet monitor similar to a Cintiq and he says they're all garbage and not worth it.
To put in perspective the quality of Wacom products, I still own an Intuos 2 4x5 that I've had for about 6 years now and have never had a single problem with it. I've used it for about an average of about 30 hours/week for the past 5 years since I started working in comics professionally, and the only problem I had was needing to order some new nibs for the pen due to wear and tear.
And yeah, he went ahead and bought the Cintiq. He's got a photo of the "TankSpot Studio" up in the donar forums.
That's kind of the toss up, Intuos 3 or Cintiq
I'm getting back into doing Illustration, and some painting in Corel Paint/Photoshop. I also work in medium format black and white film, and on certain projects I do a lot of heavy grading in Photoshop. Depends on the contrast range I could get down on film.
Do you find working on the tablet while looking at the screen disorienting at all? From a production quality viewpoint do you think the Cintiq merits the extra cost, or are you comfortable working with the Intuos2 at this point?

I saw the P-active and the one I have now, unfortunately they were out of stock and they run about $800 I was going to get one. I did come across another , it was called the YIYNOVA MSP19 tablet monitor it is a 19" alternative. Much like the Cintiq you can draw and paint right onto the monitor, and it has the same pressure sensitivity and specs as the Cintiq 12". It took some digging to find this one but I discovered Amazon has 4 more left I bought one of them, THIS DOES WORK ON BOTH MAC AND PC. WARNING FELLOW MAC LOVERS... The Driver on the Yiynova site seems to be outdated and it took me some hunting to find the driver for a Mac pro Tower. The driver on the Yiynova site doesn't allow your monitor to calibrate the pen (which the pen is battery operated). I hope they have updated by time you guys see this post. Another WARNING to the Mac users... if you are using more than one monitor you may need to make sure that your Yiynova is the being used as the second monitor (maybe its just my system or user error) had a few monitor issues until I switched the two cabels... Any way After I got the correct drivers, got every thing calibrated and started working on it, I must say I am very pleased. If I were going to give it a star rating I would give it a 4 outta 5 because of the blasted problem with having to locate a driver and it not being included or Yiynova not having the updated driver on their site. Having this I wouldn't go back to my Wacom Bamboo, Comparing the Cintiq and the Yiynova, no competition other than the price, Cintiq is top dog of course but you don't know that if you have never used a Cintiq (I have), I however am glad I didn't pay $2000.00, the YIYNOVA MSP19 is only $549.99 on Amazon and right now they only have 4 left PC users You don't seem to have anything to worry about. on some systems they are plug and play (I did check). Over all I like it I wish I didn't have the hiccups in the beginning but I'm glad to be past that part, and every thing seems to be working great, it seems to play well with photoshop and unfortunately I haven't tried it with Zbrush yet. Hope this helps here is a link so you can see the Yiynova

Watch me play SC2 ladder and enjoy the lolz
What do you mean you had to switch the cables? I also use only Mac. My Yiynova came in today and I can't even get the screen up.
Yes, the power is on. The LCD light goes green on power up, reads no signal and goes red. I have tried this on my macbook pro and iMac. no response from the monitor. And I have installed the drivers.
What cables are you switching? I thought this runs through the USB?

What can Google's tablet deliver?
Google is in cahoots with Verizon developing a tablet device, reports the WSJ. But with the world and his dog also developing copycat iPads, it's hard to see what Google in particular can bring to the market. The brutal lesson Apple has handed to the phone business is that unless you can deploy very high quality design …
The Chrome browser
The success of the Chrome browser may show some potential for the tablet.
At first I didn't think that a tablet with nothing but a browser would be useful, but the iPad has shown how little functionality people need in order to buy.
Nokia has wood pulp in its DNA, not consumer electronics.
There's always some small screwup
If the tablet can run something easy to use like Python with a decent GUI toolkit like GTK or Qt, and does the cellphone bit, I'd buy one.
I have an N800 and love it, and have several apps on it that I live by. I want an N900 but I can't get one, because Nokia won't make one that uses the AT&T 3G frequencies, and T-Mobile doesn't have coverage here. I'd end up paying nearly $700 for a phone that only does 2G. I'm as rabid a Nokia fanboi as any, but that doesn't make sense to me.
I've looked at porting my apps to Android but it has a really weak set of widgets, so it'd be a major PITA of writing my own damned custom widgets from scratch. No thanks.
Given Google's penchant for collecting every bit of data it can lay its tentacles on I suspect they consider their 'archive' to be almost literally everything you can access online
get real
Google isn't "archiving" anything, other than when you use them as a storage service. I trust Google's privacy policies a lot more than Apple's and MobileMe's.
(Not to mention that MobileMe or whatever it is called these days just isn't very good.)
I would assume by archive they mean the software services Google offer.
I mean with a fast Chrome browser on a tablet you get gmail, docs, RSS reader, shopping, you tube, book search, blogger etc etc.
I don't imagine it would take much to enhance these things for a tablet either.
Who's copying who?
"But with the world and his dog also developing copycat iPads"
Funny how some of those "copycats" were in production before the iPad was even announced. In fact, I saw my first iPad copycat back in 2008 from Archos. Creative had iPod copycats before iPods came out. LG had an iPhone copycat before the iPhone was out.
None of those were Apple's ideas in the first place. The last good innovation I can recall actually coming from Apple was MacOS back in the mid-80's. Please, get over it.
...Oh yeah, almost forgot about the iMac copycats that people have been knocking pins down with for ages. I'll admit though, iMacs are indeed much more satisfying for that sport.
A desperate fanboi
A desperate fanboi blinded by his religion and spiritual leader, having taken a bite of the fruit, would fully believe that these are copies of the ipad, after all Apple went to market first right, it doesn't matter that the likes of HP were developing much earlier...
no need for deceptive spying methods then
given googles anti privacy, recording everything you do, won't having a google pad just be like carrying their spycam to spy on you
The business is books, books, books
Don't forget that Google is going into electronic book business since it has now scanned many publications.
Apple advantages overrated
I don't think content-wise it's looking good for Apple. iBook has limited selection and will likely be blown out of the water by Google Books. iTunes, similarly, is far from complete and will likely be quickly surpassed by YouTube rentals. If you buy from either store, you're permanently stuck with Apple products; no competition ever. And there will be plenty of media companies that will want to cut out Apple as the middle man.
For developers, Apple is not so hot either: an haphazard approval process and restrictive and (arguably) outdated languages and tools. And Apple seems incapable of delivering low-cost devices, meaning that developers betting on Mac are limited to a narrow market of people who can afford $1000+ laptops and $500+ tablets.
Finally, Apple design is far from perfect. Apple has a good out-of-box experience, but in terms of long-term livability, their products can be mediocre. The iPad has an annoying keyboard, messy home screen (hopefully fixed in 4.0 with folders, but we'll see), and other limitations.
I think Google will be doing just fine. I'm looking forward to being able to replace my iPad with an Android tablet.
Har Har
"Copycat"? "Clone"?
PDAs and Slate PCs - yeah, they didn't exist until Apple made them.
Comedy gold.
Re: didn't exist until Apple
Actording to Wikipedia, Apple started seriously thinking about their Newton / Messagepad devices in 1987, going on sale in 1993.
I have used an almost touchscreen computer made by HP in 1983, but it wasn't a slate. It DID have a Microsoft operating system.
Agree and disagree
First off Andrew, nice work. I love your sense of timeless sobriety and skepticism while most reporters / analysts are caught up in whatever the current trend is.
And secondly, I have to say you've hit the nail on the head with device sales. If you look at revenue, the closer to the hardware a company is, the more money it makes. HP is 100 billion, Microsoft and Apple about 60 billion, Google 20 and Adobe only 8 billion.
The problem? As you've pointed out, people see software as intangible, and pirate it. Not only are people more willing to pay for hardware, but they are less likely to steal it as well.
So that pushes companies to tie their software too hardware. So far, Apple is the best example of this vertical integration. But if you really look at Android, although the OS is open source, the radio drivers that actually interface to the cell phone are Google property, which they license to phone manufacturers. This is Google's attempt at a Microsoft style revenue model.
But which products succeed? If you look at Apple, they won against the cell carriers closed models because they had something more open. Android sales are now surpassing the iPhone, because Android is more open that the iPhone. The truth is that consumers favor the products that favor them, in terms of control and price.
I would argue the exact opposite of your premise in this article. That consumers favored the iPhone not because of it's integrated designed, but because they could run a variety of apps, and because they had a real web browser, and full access to a data network. In other words, consumers favor freedom and utility, not pre-packaged vertical control. And Android's success only continues to confirm this view.
just a point
agree on most of your points but Google is just a decade old company, Apple and Microsoft are more than 3 decades old. And if you check stuff like operating margins, profit margins you will find Google ahead of Apple even today, although microsoft beats both of them.
I bought the first generation iPhone as it was the first smartphone that worked properly, e.g. had a working web browser, simple interface and did all the things that I wanted. When 3rd party applications were subsequently added along with the free upgrade to the iPhone 3G, it just made a great experience better.
At the time the rest of the market had stagnated with pretty poor interfaces (choose betwen Microsoft and Symbian), tied to the telcos (Orange's branding everywhere), poor applications (web browsers, email, and no chance of installing 3rd party applications) and lousy hardware (stylus input - scratchy scratchy loosy stylus, low-quality low-resolution wishy-washy screens, resistive touch input). Also it was impossible to update the software: buy a new phone and throw out the old.
I think it couldn't be illustrated better than Sony Ericsson's P900, a good but not great phone for it's era. The updated version P910 was ever-so-slightly better but nowhere near worth upgrading to. Then the P990 went backwards offering a worse user interface and unreliability as standard.
Moving from the P900 to the iPhone 1G was an amazing experience. Truly moving from one generation to the next. Then moving from the iPhone 1G to 3G with its GPS and 3G just made a great experience even better.
Well done Apple for sticking it to the competition and truly raising the bar.
If you're Verizon or Sprint, no iFruit for you!
So get something else to offer the smartphone hungry consumer post haste, or lose customers. Waiting for Windows Phone 7 in the hope it's going to save your bacon had better not be plan A.
What Google's tablet can deliver
is the same thing the iPad can deliver, except without the chains and the stupid plasticky interface (and especially, without iTunes!). I don't know why people claim that Apple can do interfaces so well, every Apple device I've ever tried to use has been a right pain in the posterior.
I'll be watching this development with interest, I would rather like to have a tablet for media and web use that actually runs a sensible OS. If it's running Android and can use the same app store, then I already know there's a decent SSH client for it. If I can tunnel X over that SSH session and find an X11 server I can get up and running on an Android tablet, I'll be really happy.
Posts like this confuse me. It's like people are willfully missing the point of consumer-oriented tablets like the iPad and so on.
The executive of any company that makes a tablet aimed at the "I want SSH and X11" crowd should be taken out the back and shot by its shareholders.
missed the point
It's not that the tablet should be designed specifically for this purpose but it is incorporating flexibility within the design that allows this to be done that I and many other consumers want
Good Joke
Let us see if Apple has total control.
1) Foxconn manufactures the actual phone, Foxconn also makes phones for other companies
2) Samsung does the chip fabrication(strange eh, Apple is dependent on a company which is its competitor)
3) Samsung also provides the display, Flash memories and various other critical things
4) The carriers AT&T and others are not under Apple's control. Carriers are free to market android phones, Nokia phones etc as they see fit. Verizon literally humiliated IPhone in the DROID DOES campaign, yet Apple has to go begging to Verizon to fend off the android assault in its home bastion.
5) They are dependent on ARM technologies which supplies technologies to all their rivals.
I am sure there are many other ways Apple is dependent on others in a critical manner. And by the way Nokia has 1000s of patents in mobile, if anything I am pretty sure they will get a good deal of money in cross licensing from Apple soon.
Hear the woosh ...
... as the point flies over people's heads.
1) A contractor .. so what. They like money as well as the next contractor.
2) A commodity / component supplier ... so what. They like money as well as the next supplier.
3) Ditto ... repeating for effect does not work.
4) There is a whole world beyond the US with a far larger untapped user base.
5) And they have bought and moved in-house two top-level ARM-based chip design houses.
There are only TWO components that really matter to joe public / consumers about a product .. physicality and usability ... both of these are under Apple's direct control.
still FAIL
it is well known that AT&T service sucks(recent survey claimed AT&T is the worst in US) and if you have a phone, you would want to have a good service(at the least). And there is nothing Apple can do about it.
Samsung is not a commodity supplier alone, it is also a smartphone manufacturer which is the field in which Apple makes most of it revenues. Depending on a competitor for anything at all is silly. As for ARM, Qualcomm, Nvidia etc can get some new optimized stuff from ARM which is licensed only to those companies and which will not be available to any other companies.
Choices (part two)
>won't having a google pad just be like carrying their spycam to spy on you<
Maybe, but at least it isn't Apple, or do you not think they have swathes of data on every iUser, your searches, fave web pages, apps you'll pay for, MP3s on your devices, credit card details, etc etc etc...
Who do I distrust less?
> but at least it isn't Apple
There we have it, someone finally, after years and years finally admitted what we all knew about the anti-Apple brigade "at least it isn't Apple".
As for "who do i distrust less?", for me it's Apple. I don't want my security handled by a Google billionaire who thinks simplistically along the lines of "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to worry about".
I distrust a company that has to remind people that "we're not evil".
I distrust a company where they have scanned copyrighted works - have been threatened with Anti Trust - and are now going to sell those works!???!?!!! Seriously, do they understand the concept of copyright? Ah no, they are the owners of YouTube so of course they don't understand copyright.
And on the subject of copyright - here is a company trying to get copyright laws rewritten so that it can continue to operate as a multi billion dollar company in a new age.
So no, Google is untrustworthy in its entirety. They are beginning to make Microsoft look quite humble frankly.
Google on the right track...
The overpowering (and rapid) success of Google's Android platform and marketplace shows that Google knows what it is doing, and is doing it well (as does the size of Google's net worth). For example, they apparently know how to COOPERATE with other companies, such as hardware manufacturers, advertisers, and so on. Apple, on the other hand, apparently feels the need to absolutely control and bully all those they do business with (including their customers).
Saying that "Apple respects them (the copyright holders) enough to do business" I would argue is a false statement. Apple demonstrates little respect for anyone, and they "strong-arm" publishers, media companies, app developers, and wireless carriers to drastically reduce their "cuts" in favour of forking much of the profits into Apple's bank accounts.
Google, on the other hand, is comparatively benevolent; they give things away (like multiple web and cloud-based services, operating systems, free ebooks, and so on). Advertising pays their bills, so they do not have to gouge their customers and business partners mercilessly (as Apple does). But above and beyond that, Google uses a "nice guy" business model and serves as an example to other businesses that mutual trust and cooperation CAN be tools that allow various companies to coexist and prosper. Google is not suing others for using or modifying Android, it is a gift. Sure, some companies are changing the default web services in Android, but this gives Google a reason to compete with these other services on the merits of its own products, NOT by using litigation (as Apple would most assuredly do, eg: the "Psystar" issue).
Being "nice" is the best advertising any business could hope to have. Apple and Microsoft do not get this, but Google does. People -- customers and business partners -- like to feel respected, and that they can trust who they invest time and money with. You cannot trust a company that is like a pit-bull, unpredictably ripping other businesses apart (and sending threatening legal communications to talk show hosts who "dare" to humorously depict its product, aka Ellen Degeneres). Or a company which turns a blind eye to the use of child-labour, employee abuse, and the high suicide rates at the factories which make its shiny gadgets...what's "good" about that?
Just my two bits worth as to why I think this article is so much Apple-funded hogwash.
What can Google's tablet deliver?
Answer: Targeted ads and privacy concerns.
What do I win?
What about iPhone OS 4's ads in apps feature?
At least Android doesn't have features specifically designed to allow ads to be embedded within apps somehow. Unlike iPhone OS4.
But if the AdMob deal goes through it will soon.
Calm down!
Hello? Did you not see the bloody great joke icon on my post?
I have an HTC Hero and I love it. Most of the time, I can't stop talking about how great Android is, and how much it kicks the iPhones arse.
Just saw an oppourtunity for some humor (sort of, maybe) and so I took it.
Christ, commentards can be TOUCHY sometimes!
I hate suger marketing!
1. Apple is overpriced!
2. Copycats? -> Simens Simpad !
Why did you write this?
How dare you attempt to speak for me! What next, we all have to wear Mou suits and wave your little red book?
It's choice man. People are free to make their choices and buy whatever suits them. It's plain to see that the iPad/iPhone/MacBook doesn't suit you. Fine. But you're not me. And I'm more than happy to buy Apple gear and am delighted at being given the choice to not purchase tacky 'orible cheap-and-nasty plastic grot.
Some of us like the design of their kit, Apple's design principles and are more than prepared to pay for this quality.
My iPhone is the best smartphone device I've ever had. Sure, it's got problems (dropped calls), but it's so much better than anything else that I'll forgive it's odd foibles. Similarly my MacBook Pro is by far the best machine I've ever owned. Fast, reliable, simple, lovely design. Even the price (£2500) isn't that bad considering how much money I make from it -- for goodness sake, a plumber's tools would cost more.
Just because you don't like Apple kit doesn't make it irrelevant to others.
Is it me, or is the most basic functionality of a mobile phone it's ability to make and receive telephone calls? After all, that IS why it's called a mobile phone???
Do you drive a car where the engine cuts out for no reason every now and then?
Fly in a plane where the wings fall off at 30,000 feet?
Ride a bike with a chain that jams?
No, you'd complain and call it junk if you did (assuming you survived the plane crash).
But, you'll accept a phone that can't guarantee a conversion will get finished.
I can see it now... Here you are, sir, here's a new iCrap, it doesn't work very well, but look.. shiny shiny...
I'll take one, here's lots of cash.
Tell me a phone that doesn't drop calls
I've never had a phone (Moto/Nokia/iPhone/HTC) that didn't drop the odd call.
It's mainly due to the network rather than the phone. I don't see everyone saying "mobile phones aren't perfect, I don't want one".
(Do you use Windows or mobile phones? If so, then your whole argument about not using products unless they're perfect is rubbish)
So, you've got a choice of phone that you think looks nice and has some nice features or one that looks like a plastic brick and has few fancy features (or features that the telco have crippled).
Which one do you choose?
I'm not neccesarily saying the iPhone looks nice or has the best features, but you need to realise that for some people it is, that doesn't mean they're going to buy any apple product.
I for one love the iPhone design and features after jailbreaking but think the iPad is pointless and don't want one.
I'm more than happy with the Apple kit bought over the years ... the uni-body Macbook Pro's are simply the finest laptops I have used and own. OSX just gets better and better and is a pleasure to use. I am forced by work to use Windows, however I *choose* to use OSX and FreeBSD everywhere else.
The iPhone 3GS is my favourite gadget for the last 30 years (and I have a graveyard full of tried and failed gadgets) .. very compelling to use, lovely to handle and more useful software available than I can shake a stick at.
I am notoriously tight with money ... I research, try out and spend ages pondering the pros and cons of all the kit I use ... it has to pass tough tests before I splash out on new gear. I won't pre-order an iPad as I want to spend time with one before considering to purchase or look elsewhere. I'd certainly like a touchscreen, A4 pad form factor, always-on, always-connected, style of device - I been looking for such a device since using the Internet in '85 ... is the iPad it or would a cheaper less technically capable "netpad" be a good choice ... not sure yet.
The point is that Apple make compelling devices, it has superb customer service, it has a great feel for physical design and interactive/software design. As someone who spent many years in the field of interface design research and development, I appreciate the design touches that make Apple products so engaging. Its the physical little things like pulsating power lights, battery indicator LEDs, magnetic catches, the seal around the macbook pro screen and even the lack of user accessible battery compartments.
@max allen: you ever used windows mobile?
"dropping the odd call" is acceptable, understandable and, as you say, usually the network.
However, my experience of a phone running windows mobile was that I frequently missed incoming calls because the phone app was simply crap, nothing to do with the network at all. The app would simply hang. I only found out when I came to make a call and had to reboot the damn thing to make it work only to then find a load of voicemails waiting for me.
I will never buy a windows mobile phone again purely because the phone app was crap.
The purpose of a phone is to make/receive calls and send/receive sms. Everything else is a bonus. But if can't do the phone thing, it's a waste of space.
Too many choices
If you're looking at an iPhone/iPad you know when it was released and when the next better one will be released, buy it when it's released and you'll have the top of the line product for a year.
Compare with the android market where a plethora of choices mean the top of the line phone/pad is debatable and is supplanted every month or two regardless.
In the new mobile business it's only Apple and HP (since aquiring Palm), that can offer this to consumers, everyone else is on an upgrade treadmill with Android and (assuming it gets finished), WMP7S.
One year upgrade cycle on a two year contract
Too much choice?
You and Steve are perfect for each other!
I'd be quite happy
..with an affordable Android tablet with a nice screen and SDHC slots. My Android phone, only bigger, would be damn handy.
The iPads we have kicking around the office are gorgeous, but are too expensive and locked-down for my taste.
Apple do it better
I'm no fan of Apple per se, but they do things better.
MP3 players, slate PC's, touch screen phones and PDA's all existed before the i-Pod, i-Pad, i-Phone etc.
None of Apple's competitors offered a particularly easy, comfortable, smooth and responsive experience for the user; because none of them wanted to.
None of them wanted to provide an integrated and controlled experience, and none of them particularly cared if anything worked properly.
I'm not saying that Apple hardware is more powerful when comparing devices (in 'apple for apple' comparisons), because it isn't.
What matters is that your wife, your sister, your girlfriend etc can view it as a fashionable and expensive item; that it works with minimal attention to an instruction book, and that it does what they want it to.
Plus - by offering all this stuff in a heavily controlled sandbox environment, they've managed to get all the content developers and content owners to jump on board and offer everything they can (if they can get Apple's permission first).
These are all reasons why if people want an MP3 player, or a new phone, or a slate PC, they will strongly consider Apple before any other brand.
They would probably look at the alternatives and see a lack of decent available content, or a complicated user experience, or stuff that just doesn't work or is too damned complicated to use.
How many times have you heard somebody say 'I should have gotten an i-Phone'?
The only thing Google is good at delivering is...
... betaware mediocrity. While Apple appear to be making the land grab for MS's control-freakery, Google has gone for their inability to deliver anything other than half-baked tosh.
Other than their initial search engine, Google have consistently failed to deliver anything truly ground breaking at launch and, more importantly, feature-complete in their relatively short existence. I sincerely doubt that a GPad will be any different.
Expect to be severely underwhelmed.
Yeah right
Because Android 2.1 is betaware mediocrity.. and google maps? Pure bollocks, no-one uses that.
You missed
Google Earth, Google Docs, Google Mail. and some other stuff.
All very well presented and technically polished stuff.
Android future
As an entire ecosystem builds up around free Android, at what point does Google either: A) say it's no longer free and charge licensing fees; B) lose interest and drop it. They're in business to make money after all.
Re: Android future
Google doesn't need to make money from Android licensing - they can instead make money by licensing to manufacturers (I was sure that or (and since I've not accessed it) from taking a percentage from Android Marketplace sales. Or there's always the licensing to software vendors to allow them to use the Android logo etc on their products.
But remember that the whole raison d'etre of Android phones are to seduce folks to browse the web where, not surprisingly, they'll see Google ads. And that's dollars into the pockets of Google - why do you think that Apple are trying to muscle in on ads (although in true Apple-ist Stalinist mentality they'll be difficult to ignore/bypass).
That's fine for Google
I'm thinking more about why 3rd party suppliers would tie themselves too closely to an initiative that Google can drop, unreasonably amend terms of use, or make very expensive at any time. HP must have had these concerns, hence the Palm purchase.
When I pay full price I expect to have full wossname
"To design a good appliance, you need to control every piece in the chain."
Is it just me? I'm just not daft enough for a closed gadget where (having graciously relieved me of my hard-earned) some foreign corporation snootily retains control over what I can and can't do with it. I just can't see the attraction no matter how shiny-shiny it is.
NOTE this is not a dig at Apple (although it is) because I found out too late my 200 quid Nokia is nearly as bad.
complete control? really?
I must disagrre with the authoe's conclusion that total control is reqired for compelling gadget creation. Several of my favorite gadgets rely on products and services from 3rd parties. My chumby. My G1 running a modded os. My computer. My TV is nearly useless without a cable box or something else that pushes signal. And the killer app, the one that I Must Have on any telephony device I buy is google voice..
" it's hard to see what Google in particular can bring to the market."
It's very EASY to see.
A OPEN market that's not locked into "everything Apple(tm)".
Anyone that has a Android based handset will know about the "unknown sources" tickbox that allows you to install APK apps from anywhere (including SD card). No need to "jailbreak" Android handsets..
No music lockins, get and load your music from anywhere.
If you want to use the included Google services (navigation, gmail, calendar, maps etc), then you can (and should, as they outclass anything Apple offers, and for free), but the point is, you are not forced to.
Android offers a OPEN platform, with compelling reasons to use the Google services, rather than Apples approach to FORCE iPad/Pod/Phone users to use Apples services.
