Bokeh is the nature/quality of the out-of-focus regions in a photo. The use of shallow depth of field techniques results in photographs with blurred backgrounds and foreground. How well the blurs look is the bokeh. Some lens provide pleasant out of …

I have the first generation of retina iPads and although the new ones are certainly improved there is little reason for me to upgrade. I think this is what is hurting the iPad sales.

Average US home use of electricity is 903 kWh/month, so 60,000 homes would be 541,800,000 kWh/moth or 74 MW for 60,000 houses, or 1.24 kW on average per house. Average monthly bill $107.28 (http://www.eia.gov/electricity/sales_revenue_price/pdf/tab…

The screen shown if the markers are 1mm, is 326 dpi, same as current screens. Scaled to 16:9 4.7-inch screen would be 751x1336 pixels. Of course 4.7 does not mean 4.700, so it could be 750 x 1340 or something else close. Or someone just shot a pictu…

Sapphire is not normally capitalized being a gem name like diamond. It does have good UV transmission down to the UVB band, unlike borosilicate glass or most plastics which do not. Pure silica glass is better but Apple did not build a new silica pla…

Not sure if Sapphire crystal, not glass, is a better face material than Gorilla Glass. GG has been refined over the years to improve its strength and longevity while in use as a face material. It is made in large qualities, the basic processes not n…

Let the activist fight it out. I am sure there are many that would like to see private cars outlawed, they can have a rumble with the ones wanting to get rid of bus service that allows people to not use their private cars for the daily commute. Does…

In 2012 AT&T had total revenues of $127,434,000,000 and net profits of $7,264,000,000. So a net profit of about 6 percent. So not exactly gouging. We know the European plans are much cheaper than US plans. What drives the costs in the US so high…

Impression I got from Eddy's side of the email was Apple was trying to push the publishers to as low a cost as they could get. Even the original Job's comment was more along the lines of we hope they push Amazon to agency or it will be tough for us …

iPhone 5 LTE normally get better than 30 mbps up sometimes over 40 mbps. Upload is another issue. Generally it is 2.5 mbps, the display needle will hit 38 to 40 kbps for a little bit then fall to zero for the rest of the upload time, so the averag…

Bumped my area up to LTE last month, very nice. 20 mbps up and down.

It looks like from the last figure they are using layers of different materials to drive the surface into compression. Ceramics love compression hate tension. This is the method used to make strengthened glass, although in that case the stress diffe…
