Does Stress Make You Sick?
According to a recent survey taken by the U.S. Department of Labor, 75% of all Americans are constantly plagued by stress. In addition, according to researchers in Duke University, lack of control, high demands, and repetitive work lead to job stress, which can lead to health problems. What is stress and how can we manage it? Everyone feels stressed, someday or another. It is a myth that stress causes illness.
Myth #1: Stress is bad for us.
Reality: Stress can be helpful and healthful. For instance, managed stress can help us with challenges in motivating us to improve the productivity and excitement in our lives. On the other hand, distress is bad. Distress or mismanaged stress may cause illness by damaging the immune system over time. Minor symptoms of stress, such as headaches or constant tension in your body, are early warning signs telling you that you need to do a better job of managing your stress.
Remember, pain is your friend. It's your body's natural way of telling you something is wrong and warning you to pay attention to it.
Myth #2: Stress causes cancer.
Reality: There is no conclusive evidence that demonstrates that stressful life events cause cancer. According to the World Health Organization, many cancers have strong genetic basis with other culprits being the causes as well, such as environmental pollution, our diets and our life styles, etc.
Myth #3: Stress causes the common cold.
Reality: Over 50,000 viruses can cause symptoms of the common cold. Stress can make symptoms worse.
Stress doesn't cause the illness, but illness may become worse because of stress. You are not responsible for creating your own disease, but you are responsible for how you choose to live and how you cope with situations so as to prevent illness.
Myth #4: Stress causes allergies.
Reality: Undergoing stress may make you more sensitive to allergens, but your allergies are a genetic heritage and are NOT because of STRESS! Again, stress can make symptoms more intense or last longer. For example, if you don't get enough sleep because you are stressed, your allergy symptoms may feel worse.
Myth #5: Stress creates hypertension.
Reality: High blood pressure (HBP) can be situational, meaning that the increase of blood pressure depends on circumstances. Blood pressure shifts are correlated with many factors: emotional responses to stressors, changes in the environment, intake of stimulants, weight gain, strenuous exercise, emotional conflicts, and other demands on your body. For instance, carrying a heavy box up four flights of stairs may temporarily increase your blood pressure.
Hypertension may be caused by a genetic predisposition that creates systemic changes which may be controlled with life style changes, diet, exercise, stress reduction techniques (i.e. yoga, therapy, the right nutrition, etc.), and medicine.
Myth #6: Stress causes heart attacks and/or heart disease.
Reality: Stressful events may trigger a coronary event, but to have a heart attack requires underlying vascular disease or physiological disorder or defect. Vascular disease may be created by some genetic disposition interacting with high fat diets, lack of exercise, and life styles.
Chronic stress, meaning stress over time, can create damage to our bodies, such as increasing cholesterol, clogging arteries, and other conditions which in turn may cause a coronary event, stroke, or other severe result. People who are chronically distressed usually have other harmful habits that add to damaging their bodies which in turn can create coronary problems.
Myth #7: Exercise will control stress!
Reality: It depends on how it's done. Exercise is healthy and an important part of our life. Just don't stress yourself out about it. Competition is OKAY as long as it's enjoyed and seen in a perspective. When competition is taken too seriously, people may loose control, becoming distressed. Intensifying yourself during your work out may be harmful because you might actually increase your stress. Create a moderate exercise routine in which you can exercise and release your stress at the same time. Anything done to an extreme is often harmful.
What is the difference between stress and anxiety?
Anxiety reactions to stress often turn stress into distress. Symptoms of stress and anxiety overlap and are often confusing to the individual. People who are stressed do not necessarily have anxiety, however, people who have anxiety also have stress.
Little changes to feel a lot better !
Here are some solutions for your stress:
1. Take matters into your own hands. Since we can control the way we think, when feeling stressed, we may want to calm down and relax. Obviously, this is easier said than done. Here's a simple and easy way to begin. Take a couple of minutes to go through some breathing techniques:
Inhale, counting1, 2, 3
Hold it, counting 1, 2
Exhale, counting 1, 2, 3
Repeat this a few times.
Now, don't you feel better?
*Suggestion: Use this a few times a day. Try using it when you're driving, sitting for a while, before you eat, before you go to sleep, or whenever you have a few moments. Particularly, remember to use it when you feel stressed.
2. Life without stress...there isn't one! Think positive thoughts ("My in-laws are coming for a visit, but they are here for only a week!). Have a positive mental outlook because it's free. What positive thinking can you substitute when you're feeling stressed? Think these positive thoughts while doing deep breathing. Examples: Daydream about something you're looking forward to. Imagine something beautiful! Imagine being with someone you love.
3. Be Healthy, Be Less Stressed! Try to remove yourself from self-destructive habits, like smoking. What are you going to substitute instead? Life offers many positive options for healthy living. What fits for you? Perhaps you might consider energizing yourself with some healthy food alternatives, vitamins, mineral supplements, or herbal supplements.
4. Work that Stress! Increase your physical activities (walk to the corner store instead of taking your car), but don't intensify them. Remember, the more relaxing the activities, the less stress will impact your health. And finally, surround yourself with friends and family. We can't choose our family, but having supportive friends is something we can enjoy.

2014 Michelin
- Laidback Feb 24, 2014 06:25 AM
It seems that, according to "Big Red", the Japanese chefs are out-cheffing everyone in Paris with Jin, ES, Okuda winning macarons this year. Congratulations also to Septime and Goust.
re: Giannis
Yes, Baby!!!! I sure have been there! Just finding out here that Arnaud Lallement has finally gotten his third star! It's been a while since I was there, but the dinners and lunches we enjoyed are still fresh in my mind. And wherever I go folks are talking about his fabulous food. Definitely eat there if you can.
re: ChefJune
Was planning on going in a few weeks, I hope there isn't a stampede and they don't put the prices up
ChefJune, did you ever write up your visit? I can't find anything on the Board
re: mr_gimlet
I didn't, Mr. G. Not sure why, except that I was going to school in an extremely intense program the week I stayed and ate there.
FWIW, the accommodations there are top notch, and their breakfasts are SO luxurious.
re: ChefJune
Indeed, congratulations, couldn't happen to a nicer guy and a more talented cook.
I thought it useful to share the full Paris results:
3 Star - Alan Ducasse au Plaza Athenee has closed so the stars have been deleted - he took over the kitchens at Le Meurice and maintains three there.
2 Star - Apicius was downgraded to one and Akrame promoted to two.
1 Star - loses of the star are: 35° Quest; Le Divellec; Stella Marais; L'Instand d'Or; Le Lumiere; La Bigarrade; and La Truffe Noir.
New one stars are: Jin; Goust; ES; Okuda; La Scene; Qui Plume La Lune; Septime; St James Paris; Rech; and Le Corot.
I think its also interesting to read the commentary in the press release which talks about the recognition of younger chefs with 7 of the new one stars having chefs under 30, and Akrame Benallal getting his 2nd at 33. The commentary also talks about the number of lower cost restaurants in this years lists with 115 starred places offering meals under €30, and it mentions the diversity of restaurants.
Maybe they are responding to, and refuting, the recent Michelin criticism on CH which focussed on the belief Michelin was traditional, expensive and only appreciated by the older chefs.
re: PhilD
Michelin in recent years has continuously been going through panic cycles while increasingly losing its grip on reality. To "refute" anything, first they should have to respond to something. But they are not responding to anything except their inner desire to preserve their status as a reference that is alread a thing of the past. And they do not really know how to achieve that, they "try" stuff every once in a while. They do not respond to any outside stimulus. They only rules of the game they accept are the ones they create. So sometimes they will drop a couple of macs to a few youngsters in order to push back the wheelchair, but it would be naive to think that means there's any significant change in the policy.
That they give fully deserved macarons to chefs like Grébaut and Akrame is one thing, and it's actually a no-brainer. That is the least they could do. That it should mean something is quite another thing.
re: Ptipois
Nevertheless they are giving evidence to refute many the criticisms levelled at them i.e. recognising young chefs; rewarding a broad range of price points; and not just rewarding the traditional French restaurants.
I don't pretend Michelin is perfect, but I firmly believe it has it's place in restaurant criticism.
re: PhilD
They have always recognized young chefs from time to time; nobody ever said they didn't. The Michelin macaron system would perhaps retain a valid place in restaurant criticism if some serious flaws hadn't proved regularly that the entire system is flawed. Now the only thing I can say is that they've exposed their incompetence and that not everything can last forever. As for the times when they are "right", it's only a case of a clock showing the right time twice in 24 hours. As I wrote, there's nothing brilliant about giving a star to Bertrand Grébaut. Proves nothing at all.
Again, I haven't got much against its validity as a guide. Though frankly misleading at times (especially with the Bib Gourmand in Paris), it can still be used. What I consider not valid is the macaron system.
re: Ptipois
Once again, I have to mount my soap box. One has to calibrate the recommendations of any guru. Michelin Red is biblical for many and serves them exceedingly well, others not so much.
More problematic is the "NYT" effect of new macarons, making previously easy tables close to impossible as new groupies vie for a cover.
As JT often preaches, there are enough tables out there for all of us.
re: Ptipois
Bless you Pti for bringing sanity into the discussion.
re: John Talbott
John - Pti has a different point of view (no problem with that) but to infer those that disagree with that point of view lack sanity (or are insane) is rather insulting.
re: John Talbott
Thanks John for adding sanity to the discussion ;-)
re: Bu Pun Su
I have trouble understanding your post. Why would it be a good thing that the same cuisine (more or less) would be more severely noted in Paris than in Tokyo or Hong Kong? What would it reveal about the Michelin other than double standards?
If it happens that in this case the highest accolade is out of reach because it is not a French restaurant (highly plausible in the light of former examples), there isn't a lot to be glad about.
re: Ptipois
Both of you may be right.
The rating of Michelin stars in HK or China or Las Vegas does seem to be different, based on different guidelines. Double, triple, weird standards indeed.
re: Parigi
Indeed. So apologies if there's some irony that I missed.
re: Parigi
First Michelin doesn't have a China guide does it? It does cover the SAR's of HK and Macau but not the PRC.
Second, I agree, their inconsistency in HK compared to other countries is a concern and they need to address it. I believe they have done this in Japan with a change in inspectors from mainly western to all Japanese which has improved the credibility of the guide.
The HK one is intriguing because most of the ones that make the guide are good and deserve to be recognised. The problem is at the two and three star level with sone restaurants that get these awards here in HK but would struggle in Europe.
That said I tend to view the quality of each guide varies by country, and take that variation as a factor of maturity in these countries given the guides are still new. Therefore it is logical to assess the merits of each guide independently and to me the French guide is pretty good as one of the sources I use (but I do triangulate in all countries).
One other thought - I did read (some time ago) that Michelin were trying to localise their approach to guides. Thus pubs in the UK are judged slightly differently than restaurants. The food in both needs to be of a consistently high standard, but the style and nature if the food in the pub can be "appropriate" to the pub and thus it is possible for it to be different to that which is appropriate to a restaurant. I believe the logic is that diners expectations vary depending on the format. Maybe this is the root cause of the variation between countries - the guide is simply trying to reflect the local dining norms.
re: Ptipois
I can't guess at Bun Pun's meaning but Toru Okuda does in fact have 5 stars in the Tokyo guide (3 for Kojyu and 2 for Ginza Okuda).
The single star in Paris could mean many things - different standards or that the resto is not up to the standard of its Tokyo sisters yet. My own recollection is that Kojyu has always had 3 in the relatively short history of the Tokyo Muchelin guide, and that Ginza Okuda which is only a couple of years old, picked up 1 and then 2 stars in fairly short order - perhaps someone will correct if I'm wrong.
Fwiw, a Paris resident who knows the Tokyo establishments told me the cuisine is at the same high level but also noted that the private room she ate in was uncomfortably claustrophobic, even by the standards of Kojyu's old/ Ginza Okuda's current location in a basement.
re: Bu Pun Su
Although achieving a first star in Paris after only 4 months isn't too shabby - who knows maybe promotion next year after a full years operation.
re: John Talbott
I didn't mention "Qui Plume la Lune" even though it has strong Japanese influences because to my knowledge (2nd hand from J.-F. Renard who also was influenced by his time in Japan) the chef-owner is French but spent time in Japan.
re: Laidback
Sorry, you're right Laidback, I just wanted it to be. To quote myself "Why do I say Japanesy not Japanese or fusion?; well,....for starters, the carte had items such as a "sushi" foie gras, salmon takati, green tea crusted lamb and Japanese vegetables and our waiter was definately of Asiatic origin and the chef, Jacky Ribault, who in addition to coming through the great houses of cuisine, see Taillevent, also did a stint at Shozan."
re: John Talbott
I am in agreement; if you didn't know otherwise the assumption would be Japanese owner or chef.
re: souphie
Any opinions on KIntessence in Courcevel, which got 2 stars this year?
What happend to Senderens? Did they change anything this year, or did they close?
re: Giannis
They were bought back are are run by the traiteur Potel et Chabot, while they still do Senderens' signatures. Haven't been since then but the opinion of this Senderens lover is that the two stars have been undeserved those last few years. It might even be better now, am willing to try.
Toque toc. These guides always impose a warped sense of the actual eating scene. Is the 1-star Sergent Recruteur incalculably better than no-star David Toutain or no-star Pierre Sang ? I think not. Does the 400 to 600 € tab at 3-star L'Ambroisie make it 4 to 6 times times better than 1-star La Grande Cascade (100 €) or 1-star Table de Lancaster (115 €). I think not. And on a more visceral level, is noshing at 3-star Le Pré Catelan more fun than an evening at unstarred Dans les Landes or unstarred Chez Denise ? Hell no !
re: Parnassien
Toutain wouldn't have made the cut off deadline for 2014 As he opened quite late in 2013 so he was too late to be assessed.
Has anyone ever argued about the price to value ratio of restaurants or the fun factor of various places. I don't believe any guide would try to do that. After all a fun meal with old friends in a favourite local restaurant will nearly always trump a "trophy" meal at a 3 star.
That said a couple of my most memorable meals have been at 3 stars with my the usual suspects from my louche beer swilling days. The combination of great food and wonderfully company is hard to beat - it's just impossible to fund that often!
re: PhilD
Re David Toutain... of course it is too new to have been included. But those tourists who regard a Michelin star as an infallible indication of excellence don't really bother with those little technicalities. Because it's not on the list, it doesn't exist for them. My point is that these guides prevent visitors from experiencing more and often better choices.
Granted that I've never shared a table at a 3-star with pals with a beer-swilling background, but I've never had any meal at a 3-star that came close to fun. Perhaps the stratospheric cost makes me feel too guilt-ridden and foolish.
re: Parnassien
Parnassien - fiftieth birthdays are a great justification for untold decadence. And it's amazing how relaxed 3 stars get when dealing with a group of very old friends who are determined to have a lot of fun (and wine) - and I should add that Spain is a better bet than France from a cost perspective.
Agree with the view on the myopic tourist who uses the guide as the one and only source, but as this is Chowhound I always assume we triangulate across multiple sources to get the latest insights and balance the bias each and every source introduces.
re: Parnassien
I truly don't understand that Michelin star thing.
It is not even a guarantee that the food will be good, not anymore; so what is it about actually? Class consciousness?

My Secret Santa family was amazingly awesome and thoughtful and made my first exchange ever a total blast!
I got OODLES of scrap fabric from the crafty wife, which is amazing since I'm a quilter and I've been meaning to sew up more scrap quilts for Quilts for Kids (quiltsforkids.org), which donates blankets to children stuck in long-term hospital care for cancer. I like to tell myself that the addiction isn't so bad if there's an altruistic bent to it! And the quilt books are amazing, too, it's always great to have new project ideas!
I love the origami paper! It's obvious that there's an origami master in the house, those gifts were wrapped HARDCORE-style. Serious skills! I can't wait to make myself a little dinosaur army to defend my desk at work! And the socks are awesome, too!
They also spoiled my critters! They got snacks for the cats and dogs, and toys that were immediately snatched up by the dogs. Even the fish got to enjoy the Christmas spirit!
So thanks a million, Secret Santa family, I hope your Christmas was half as awesome as you are!!
We're so glad you liked the gifts - and thank you so much for the elaborate writeup. We both have a huge smile on our faces right now. You rock!

- 1. Peel your corn on the cob. Slice the kernels off the cob by holding the corn cob vertically and slicing down toward your cutting board. Be careful! (If you're using canned corn, make sure to rinse and drain the corn kernels. Pat dry with a clean tea towel.)
- 2. Add all ingredients (except the second amount of corn and the pepper) into your high-speed blender. Blend on high until very smooth and well-blended. Blend for an abnormally long time because you want this raw corn chowder recipe to be slightly warm when coming out of the blender.
- 3. Pour liquidy corn mixture into a bowl(s). Add remaining corn and stir with a spoon. Garnish with pepper and chopped cilantro (optional).
- 4. Eat this raw corn chowder recipe immediately, while still warm from the blender!
The Rawtarian's ThoughtsBy The Rawtarian
Raw corn chowder recipes are so good when you want that creamy, warm, cuddly feeling of a bowl of thick soup! And corn is so sweet that this is practically like a yummy, comforting sweet appetizer or entree. Mmm!
If you're using fresh corn for this raw corn chowder recipe you'll want to have at least three or four corn cobs on hand. (If you can'te get fresh corn, you can used well-drained, unsweetened canned corn if you must, but it's so much better (and raw) when using fresh, uncooked corn sliced off the cob!)
This raw corn chowder recipe makes enough for one large bowl for one person or two very small appetizer cups for two people.
Note: I normally add garlic to my raw soup recipes. However, do not add garlic to this raw corn chowder recipe because you want this soup to be quite sweet.

Thank you for this idea!
I made this without cashews and with garlic and onion... AMAZING. Seriously creamy and amazing.
FYI, if you don't add the cashews then don't add the water, it becomes... too watery and the garlic and onion (should you choose to use them) become overwhelming.
In other words, I was so happy about this recipe that I made another batch and added water and didn't like it :(
Raw corn chowder, amazing.

Raw corn chowder recipe
This recipe is so yummy. It was the first raw soup I made, and I never thought I'd like cold soup, but this was so good. I added half a clove to a clove of garlic (it gets overpowered easily thought so be careful - especially if you plan to store for a few days in the fridge). I also topped with fresh dill and a sprinkle of paprika. So good!

Thought it would turn out brilliantly as I love corn and raw corn however this soup didn't rate well with me or my husband, which really surprised me as the celery version is so delicious!!! I don't know what we did wrong? I had a starchy weird not so tasty rawness flavour to it.

Hi Angela, Interesting! I've made this with walnuts instead of cashews which might give it a heartier flavor? Something to try next time :)
Dec 24, 2013
Loved this recipe. Quick and easy way to get raw food in and it tastes delicious. I made this for lunch today and prepping some more for a family taste test. Great recipe, keep up the good work!
Hope the family taste test went well, Cat!

Raw corn chowder recipe
I made it exactly as the recipe states. Very good! I'm not a fan of cilantro but I liked it in this soup. (Thanks for the tip on rinsing the fresh corn! It would not have been as good if I skipped that step)

I am trying to include more raw foods in our diet and I am ever on the hunt for raw recipes. I tried this last evening. I don't why it tasted really bitter. I wish someone could tell me what I did wrong.
Hmmmm corn not very sweet?
Oct 09, 2013
Maybe...but when I ate just the corn it was so delicious. I thought the soup would turn out good...I will try to find an other way because we love corn.
Hmmm. Let me mull this one over!

TIP to make life easier. I grew up in Iowa where we put up a lot of sweet corn. Anytime you need to cut corn off the cob use your angel food cake pan. Put the ear of corn in the small opening and slice down. The pan catches the kernels and the creamy juices and your knife never hits a dulling surface.
The Rawtarian
Feb 18, 2012
OMG THIS IS AN AWESOME TIP! You deserve a gold star :)
Thank you for sharing :)

Jan 02, 2012
I just made this recipe today and it was delicious the amounts required were perfect ;) I would suggest in recipe writing that you mention unsalted or salted nuts, as not everyone would know that and if they made this with salted nuts it might come out too salty.
The Rawtarian
Jan 02, 2012
Thank you Natalie, that is an excellent suggestion about unsalted nuts

Great! I love vegetable guys, lol. Mine is nice too, but corn is not ready here yet. Soon though!
If you make it do let me know what you think :)

Is there a substitute for cashews in your soup recipes ? Other than using avocado of course! Or do you have other soup recipes that taste delicious but don't use these two ingredients?
The Rawtarian
Jan 06, 2013
Hi Michelle, in soups the purpose of using cashews or avocados is to give the soup a creamy texture. Those are the two main ways that I make savory raw soups that are creamy. Does anyone have any other suggestions for ways to make a soup creamy without those two additions?
Jan 22, 2013
I simply blend the fresh or frozen (thawed under warm water) corn with water in the vitamix, add some fresh garlic, salt & pepper to taste, let it run until warm but still raw and add some left over corn to it. It is not as thick as with cashew or avocado, but definitely sweet & creamy. If you like it sweeter, add a dash of agave nectar or maple syrup or 2 or 3 dates or some raisins. Rosemary, thyme or some marjoram will give it a more Mediterranean taste.

Microsoft tablet OS to see light of day in 'autumn 2012'
Microsoft boss Steve Ballmer was given a gentle kick up the backside late last year by the company's board, after he failed to move quickly enough against Apple's iPad and lost market share in the mobile phone and tablet biz. Despite all that, a Bloomberg Business Week report is suggesting that Redmond is taking its sweet (or …
Good luck with that!
So, late next year we will be able to choose between the new Windows 8 slabs, or an iPad 4, or any one of a million Android devices!
I can't see yet what would make people want to switch at a time when the market is used to the 'big two' tablet providers.
Businesses like Microsoft and the NHS is brainwashed into preferring Microsoft too.
Yeah baby
That was in the nineties. Microsoft and Intel are slowly sinking into irrelevance.
WindowsMobile7 Tablet?
I know they don't advise it for use in tablets, but have they explicitly forbidden anyone from trying? After all we see lots of tablets using lower-version Android right now.
"it seemingly suggests that the company doesn't have faith in running its existing Windows 7 operating system on the increasingly popular touchscreen devices."
Neither does anyone else with more than one neuron to rub together.
What's that in the distance? Oh, it's a boat, sailing away. And who's that on the shore? Oh, it's Steve Ballmer.
Tablet OS != Desktop OS
A tablet operating system needs to work with touch screens using big fingers. It also must eek out battery life to beyond a day. Windows 7 - or any 'desktop' OS for that matter - is optimised for mouse input and consumes lots of power.
Even an infinite amount of bluster from Balmer can't change the laws of physics. Microsoft will have to create two completely different operating systems. They may be branded Windows 8, but they will be different in every way.
It's spelled "eke", but I like "eek" better.
Substantiate please
Windows 7 as an operating system should be able to be tailored to low power devices with little effort. Currently, from my current tests, a formerly very high end (Qosmio G40 with full HD) notebook can sleep and wake with approximately the same performance as iOS 4.2 on iPad.
Additionally, that same notebook can go 5 days on battery in sleep mode and respond to wake on lan events signifying that the ethernet mac and minimum hardware is still functional. Windows 7 on top of that can run for 2-3 hours while watching a film or playing games.
Now, to speculate. If you were to use an iPad level processor meaning something similar to the A5, had a much lower power screen, added support for all the normal bells and whistles regarding power management in a portable device (hardware and driver support, not OS kernel revamp), standby for the system would be the same as the iPad since standby puts the machine itself into a power off state and only the event generating controllers are functioning during that time. In a powered on functioning state, the same technology which makes speedstep function would allow the tablet to run 5-10 hours.
What is however needed to make Windows 7 function properly for a device like this is :
a) Removal of all non-tablet services. Services for supporting desktop tech should be tossed. Services for supporting legacy emulation should be dumped. Services for supporting WMI should be dumped. Keep it bare. This can be done by disabling services in the control panel.
b) Removal of the classical windows desktop shell. It's not designed well for this, it should only be visible and running when the device is docked, charging and has a keyboard and mouse connected.
c) A tablet desktop instead. This would likely be a modified version of the Windows Phone 7 environment which functions fine already on Windows 7. It's just a .NET app after all.
So, I'd really like to know what it is about Windows 7 which isn't suitable for a tablet. I'm just a lowly operating system system level developer, so these complex topics like what you've mentioned confuse me. I think it's best to leave it up to the experts like yourself. I'll check back for a response, I need to get back to developing the boot loader and real time task scheduler for a new linux device I'm working on.
"I think it's best to leave it up to the experts like yourself. I'll check back for a response, I need to get back to developing the boot loader and real time task scheduler for a new linux device I'm working on."
Although I agree with you, calm down and stop showing off.
Battery size
You'd only really have a fair comparison to an ipad if you were talking of something with a similar physical size, since you can always put in a larger battery to compensate for the higher power draw. I don't know the details of power draw from the chips in either case, but I'd be surprised if the A4/5 in an ipad was using more than a few W (the best estimate I can find is http://eetimes.eu/en/analysis-gives-first-look-inside-apples-a4--processor.html?cmp_id=7&news_id=222901800, which has the processor running at ~0.5W), whereas even a mobile-class intel processor is likely to be drawing 10s of W.
Regardless of that, I don't think there's any real reason why a desktop OS can't be modified to work with touchscreens. Apple is already trying to do the same with Lion it seems. The question is whether it's a good idea - do you end up with a compromise which fails for both environments, or something which works well in either environment.
There's more to an operating system than the kernel and drivers. The API for instance. And security - which in the case of phone-style devices is a hugely significant issue. Sure, it's possible to create a new shell, but that too is only a little part of the overall challenge. Then there's all the tools, applications, software distribution, DRM... If it were that easy MS would have done it.
One of the reasons (as far as I'm concerned) that Apple don't do 'full' multitasking is that the more work that's done, the more power that's drawn. Allowing unfettered access to the full multitasking functionality of a full-size OS such as Windows (or MacOS for that matter) is asking for trouble.
Most developers are rather average and very selfish. Whilst you may be capable, most aren't. Even if most developers are capable, the fact that *some* can screw it up for the others is a good enough reason to question the OS architecture that allows them to create poor code in the first place.
Windows 7 as an operating system
"Windows 7 as an operating system should be able to be tailored to low power devices with little effort."
If they could do it then why the hell havn't they?
Qosmio G40 = 5.5 Kilograms for fucks sake. How much of that is taken up by the batteries that give it its "claimed" battery life of 2 hours?
Please resist the temptation to compare apples with oranges in the future.
Windows optimisation
Seems to be geared towards making a dual core look like an 80386 and making 4G of RAM look like 512M. That, and being tightly linked to x86, prevents it from being a serious tablet contender.
I call BS on your laws of physics though. Funny though how Mac and iOS can use fundamentally the same OS codebase, as can the wide variety of Linux devices from routers to super computers.
An organization with the resources of Microsoft should have been able to pull a capable mobile OS together by now. And no, WinCE does not count.
Is this the same company that had a (supposedly) tablet friendly version of their OS all the way since (if I remember correctly) 2002? Then, when nobody wanted them, they were shoving down our throats tablet pcs and touch friendly input. Now, when the world is finally ready for it (or so it seems) - they are taking another 2 years to re-invent the same damn thing they've supposedly been working on for 9 years now. Damn if it makes any sense.
Internal conflict
The problem is nobody apart from the tablet team really gave a toss about tablets. The guy in charge of Office development didn't like tablets and said he preferred mouse and keyboard, so Office wasn't adapted for the tablet OS.
It's that sort of petty internal conflict that makes Microsoft dysfunctional when it comes to moving their offerings along. Only when something similar is out in the wild and raking in megabucks can such people at Microsoft see the merit in something.
When producing something new and ground breaking there is no precedent in the market that says "this will work, this will make money", so nobody at Microsoft will want to cooperate with the team producing it.
Even longer
There was a tablet version of Windows 3.1 in about 1993. Having used one on a long train journey, I quickly realised then that a pen input device was completely inadequate. The user interface then was also poor for exactly the same reason that tablets failed in the early 2000's.
Oh no!
So we will have to waita whole year before we can point and snigger and generally take the piss? That's rubbish!
In any case, what's the point? The OS will be pants; it's Windows, for goodness sake. The hardware MIGHT be ok but because of the MASSIVE amount of resources Windows eats up just to stay alive (I use the term loosely), the battery performance will be rubbish and it will run like a slug. Oh, and it'll crash and burn every hour of course.
Steve. It's simple. Here's what to do.
Kick your weed smoking UX 'gurus' into touch, get WP7 running on a Tablet sized display.
Add in Office and that Handwriting/Note utility from Windows for TabletPCs.
Undercut Apple, and make the device look good (I know, tricky).
Bundle some free Cloud services/storage
Make a killing.
Trick is, you need to be rolling this out this summer. If you can't get that many people, with the amount of capital M$ has, to execute something as simple as that, you need to stand aside.
Autumn this year would be too late. Next year?!? FAIL.
The phrase
Silk Purse and Sow's Ear comes to mind..
Fetid dingo's kidneys
is another
re Oh no!
You forgot to mention the first update, not supposed to update anything which will still manage to nuke 10% of the devices.
Having said that, we're talking about 10% of the two tablets they'll be lucky to ship..to retailers.
I came here just to point at MicroSoft and go
5th to market
That bodes well.
Apple has a head start. Android is building, and Msoft is coming in late next year. Sounds as though they are late to the party, and yes they are.
They missed the market with W7 cos they never built any touch into the heart of the OS. The problem is bigger than that, coz they have to carry so much baggage in the kernel and bolt on after bolt on to provide compatibility that the legacy of NT to W7 has made the OS in inefficient behemoth.
smart thinking would have extened W7 for mobiles and built out a replica of iOS / OSX model and seperate the ecosystems (gawd I hate that word)...
They will still insist that the can shoehorn W8 onto every platform under the sun with a confusing array of versions and licence models.
Now, this is still not so clear cut because as someone else has mentioned Business investment in Windows is here to stay for a very long time (business software, legacy apps, the sheer cost to move to anything else is prohibitive on a cost front - spreadsheets alone would make your mind explode at the number of them running core processes across the world today) no matter how much you think it is fixable it is not. In addition to this the synergy of an office PC and an on the go buisness tablet running the same will continue to be attractive for large organisations for support, security (hah) and legacy applications.
Now longer term there are very young people going through education, at home etc, that are learning their basic computing on non windows platforms - my 4 year old figured out the iPad in less than 2 minutes. Over a loooonnng time this will have an effect... so will cloud.
The transition will take years, companies will begin to develop their next versions more platform agnostic to ensure they can run on as many of these devices as possible.
Microsoft can afford to come to this late, and it will take a long time to see any shift. The consumer is irrelevent RIGHT NOW, corporations matter. Corporations are hooked in no matter how much they desire not to be. But today's four year old iPad / Android user is the possible CIO / CEO if the future, and this is where Microsoft is loosing them ... right here right now.
Those four year old CIO/CEOs ...
are already using iPads/AndroiTabs in their enterprises much to the consternation of their IT and Info Security staff .. only of course there would be no general support for staff who would have a real need for Tablets (more than the CEO's Dashboard or Roombi apps).
You are so right :-)
My 3 years old grandson hunts EVO 4Gs all over the house (we have 5 on a Sprint family plan). His dad has the best set of kids apps, so that is #1 phone to hunt for.
But the little man does not mind to grab mommy's or grandmother's phone that also have good Android apps.
in the fall of 2012? not a moment too soon lol
will microsoft exist in the fall of 2012, seriously.
of course they will ..
but after December 21st-23rd 2012 .. well that depends on the accuracy of the Mayan calender.
Microsoft? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
That is all.
One word ...
... Zune.
Bring Back BillG
BillG was talking up a storm about tablets 4 years ago. He was completely convinced they were the future. Evidently the "super smart" people at MSFT didn't follow his vision.
The D8 interview with Jobs and Gates in '07 is eyeopening - on youtube watch?v=_5Z7eal4uXI
Much more than 4 years ago
Tablets have always been Bill's favourite form factor. He's been waving them around since the early1990s.
What they never got right was the UI. BillG was always convinced that the Start button based desktop UI was fine for tablets.
SinceBill pulled out, tablets have not been given any priority.
Waiting for quad core Arms?
I suspect w8 already exists in a good state and offers a decent tablet experience.
What monkey boy is waiting for is an Arm chip of sufficient power and battery life to actually run w8 well and for more than 1/2 a day on a battery. Or intel to do the same for Atom.
Oh dear
I've never been a fan of MS's software but WP7 hits all the right notes and looks like it would scale well to tablet sized devices, and more importantly, it's ready now.
If they're really going to ignore the opportunity to ship a touch based OS and all new touch optimised apps in favour of 'proper windows' some time in the distant future then they've really list the plot.
I think you meant ... "they've really pissed the lot"
which seems a fairly canny long-term forecast on their fortunes
Tablets Gen 1 has been won by Apple
Time for the other companies to concentrate on bringing something new to the market. After all, pretty much anyone who wanted a tablet has got one, the iPad, a few Archos 101s, Advent Vega from Dixons, Samsungs 7 incher and there are even one or two notion inks out there almost. So, the next battle is gonna be for the next gen. I know I'm not moving on from this ipad until something really sexy comes out, so, windows 8...
Win7 already has nice touch interface (except for the ui - tiny close buttons etc), it has working text and voice recognition built in, they use the ntrig screen (Microsoft partners), pressure sensitive with capacitive finger and stylus friendly (you need a stylus for writing and drawing). Strip down the OS, Office in the cloud, entertainment from the 360 division and bingo, you've got yourself a world class tablet eco system - second generation. One that I would be interested in.
It is a shame that Bill Gates retired, I think MS needs his vision back at the helm, rather like Jobs and Apple. Balmer comes across as a buffoon (I'm sure he's not), but Microsoft really needs a visionary now, more than ever.

Family Matters Lyrics - TV Theme Songs
It's a rare condition, this day and age,
to read any good news on the newspaper page.
Love and tradition of the grand design,
some people say it's even harder to find.
Well then there must be some magic clue inside these gentle walls
Cause all I see is a tower of dreams
real love burstin' out of every seam.
As days go by,
we're gonna fill our house with happiness.
The moon may cry,
we're gonna smother the blues with tenderness.
When days go by,
there's room for you,
room for me,
for gentle hearts an opportunity.
As days go by,
it's the bigger love of the family.
