Has Apple Finally have Done something Right!?

12.21.13

     Although its not Tuesday, something very incredible has been recently released. Apple has introduced a new computer with tons and tons of processing power. More high level than any gaming pc out there, this new Mac Pro features 2 graphics cards, 6 core Intel Xeon E5 processor, 16 DDR3 memory, and a whole lot more. This computer has the power to connect up to three 4k resolution displays.

     This is a more than perfect solution for video editing and pc gaming. My Ps4 can't even touch the power and display of this machine. Although there is high-level specs involved, of course comes high prices, but they are reasonable. An entry level model will run you $3,000. If you decide to max out, 10,000 USD. You can purchase one from here

     Now obviously unless your trying to make a custom Disney animated cartoon out your basement, this is totally unnecessary to have, but its a nice option and it kinda shows that Apple hasn't been sitting on the butts the past couple of years just playing with Air. The new glossy-cylinder like design of the Mac Pro also might be giving us a clue where Apple designs might be going in the next couple of years.

     So we all no that electronic addiction is probably a little too expensive wanting the newest iphones, android, etc but a awkward looking stereo clearing you about 5000 dollars? New Cyrus Lyric plays audio from basically any device. " Both the Lyric 05 (80W per channel, 24-bit DAC) and Lyric 09 (170W per channel, 32-bit DAC) can stream 24-bit, 192kHz tunes from other devices on a local network". To translate in English its a speaker that plays very clear audio.

      First off I would never pay such an enormous amount of money because i want my music louder and "clearer". I'm sure maybe this might be a good investment for like a place that needs loud speakers for an audience or something, but this is being marketed to the wrong people. The average consumer (with any brains) would off the jump relize this is a rip off and unnecessary. As far as the features and the specs this device doesn't really do anything that pops out and make it a must have. And one more thing both devices look exactly the same...

KBra

12.9.13 

     The new company, Kobra,  distributes technology hardware for consumers and other buisness. Although it is still in new development, it is growing steady fast. Kobra electronics was introduced in December of 2011 when a group of young individuals were tired of being broke they started selling dvd's. It was a male and a female and together they were Sales Anonymous . The male consisted of the brains and the hardwork, as for the female she just supplied the equipment. One could not work without the other and togethered it worked so as time progressed they sold more and more things and gained more and more profit.

     About 6 months in the two split apart and went there separate ways. One of the members got a job and the other one was never heard from. Since the whole point of Sales anonymous was to get money instead of not making money it was left in the dark because now he was making money... but it was only a summer job so come September he needed to start making money again so he took up the money he did have and bought equipment he needed to continue Sales Anonymous. 

      He was even more successful with sales Anonymous by himself then with his equipment cohort. Soon into the year he decided to change the name from Sales Anonymous to Kobra because it was better than how he was doing before. Kobra is now the official company name with a logo and a buisness office but is still being sold by local representatives. And for all you who still dont understand ... "ur retarded" (yes I'm aware I spelled your "ur"). 

     Kobra industries will brought to a suspicious place near you check in often to find out when

Sony Playstaion 4 is a bust

     Sony's ps4 was released on Friday and even though overall it went smoothly there have been troubles with about 1% of the ps4 community. First off the day one update 1.50 has caused software problems with games and other apps. Also, similiar to the beginning of the life of the xbox 360, ps4 has caught "the blue pulse of death". Error code ce-34878-0 has been shutting games such as call of duty and battlefield 4 down and deleting saved data. other Problems include a very sensitive hdmi port that may bend and cause issues if inserted incorrectly.

     Sony has not made a public statement towards the issues that have given us problems besides the fact that there working on a fix and will be up and working as soon as possible. Ps4 community members have set up a forum and faq guide to the 1% that has been having problems. http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-4-Support/INFO-Blinking-Blue-Light-PS4-Issues/td-p/42154071

     I think that ps4 was rushed and because so there are many flaws that could of been avoided. Originally the ps4 was supposed to be launched in december but thanks to Microsoft's early release date on the Xbox One Sony pushed back. I honestly would have gotten the Xbox One though if Sony's release date was in December

Robot! Robot! Robot!

http://www.techradar.com/us/news/world-of-tech/you-will-never-beat-this-robot-at-rock-paper-scissors-1196727

       A Rock, Paper, Scissor champion playing robot. Invented by Ishikawa Oku Laboratory as part of the University of Tokyo, this robot has a 100 percent win ratio. It doesnt do this by predicting your movements. No its way to fast to say that. The Robot uses high speed movement recognition to understand what choice you are going to make.

This is truly amazing and scary at the same time. Imagine putting this technology as an arm for some type of self thought robot. It would end up being an apocalypse because it would be to fast. It would be as if it could actually read our mind.

Another scary thought could be, this is what the government allowed us to see but in actually they may have technology way beyond this. Still I kinda want one of those things to try and find some loop hole to make it lose. What would its response be to somehand that was neither Rock Paper or Scisssors? The internet is weird.

Video technology goes mobile

      A good camera might run you 300 to even 1000s of dollars and a video camera will cost you even more. Now imagine that great camera but it can call, text and, surf the web. Hashtag mindblown! right. Well its real and very available, from as low as 150 on contract the new Nokia Lumia 1020 has put a new meaning on a "camera phone".
     The phone was first released on 26 of July on AT&T. It features a 4.5" display, a 41 MP back camera, and Qualcomm Snapdragon S4, dual-core 1.5 GHz. The camera resolution is at 1080p full HD and video playback frame rate, 30 frames per second.
   CNN review explains how the Nokia 1020 is lightning fast and great Windows 8 device. "It never
hangs onto to tasks" and "have no doubt in my mind the 1020 will be faster than any android device
you pit it against." I think the Nokia is lumia 1020 is excellent phone and video device let alone phone who comes second to none.
