Apple's OS X Mavericks 10.9 will arrive

SAMSUNG NEW AMOLED Technology

Embrace the Light

First there were LCD touch screens. Then there were AMOLED screens. Now Super AMOLED screens are reinventing the touch screen. If you’re tired of squinting or cupping your hands to see your screen, read on to see how Super AMOLED screens make interacting with your phone easier.

Usually touch screens consist of two layers, a separate display and touch layer, which create reflective glare. Super AMOLED screens have one layer, which not only eliminates the air gap that causes glare it also detects touch and is integrated into the screen rather than being overlaid on top. It’s a new technology that lets you embrace the sunlight with one glare-free touch screen.

Set Your Sights on a Stunning Picture`

If you use your smartphone to play games, watch movies and browse photos, you know how important image quality is as well as a great viewing angle. Super AMOLED screens not only have a 180 degree viewing angle, they are brilliant—20% brighter and noticeably clearer than a typical AMOLED screen. With this type of screen colours really pop thanks to colour reproduction that’s 30% better than LCD screens. The high resolution WVGA (800 x 480) display in the Samsung Galaxy S, delivers sharper, clearer images on an extra-large 4” screen.

If you’re a fan of sharing your screen with friends, then a wide 180 degree viewing angle is ideal. You can hold the smartphone’s display at eye level and see the screen's images without blurring or distortion. The screen looks like it should regardless of whether you're looking at it from the sides, top, bottom, or front so sharing videos and photos with people around you is easier.

Get a Longer Battery Life

A phone that runs out of power quickly can be frustrating. A brighter screen might mean more power consumption in some phones with LCD displays, but Super AMOLED screens like the one found in the Samsung Galaxy S series, actually save battery life. Each pixel is its own light source, so black pixels aren’t lit, and use no energy. You get better contrast, lower power consumption and 20% more battery life than conventional screens. Watch movies and play music longer, and shoot continuous video without having to stop and recharge.

Apple Kills MacBook Pro technologies

Apple Kills MacBook Pro

Apple has not been shy to kill off aging technologies that are on their way out, and it’s repeating that this year with the late 2013 release of the new MacBook Pro notebooks. Optical drives, hard drive storage, and low resolution display are all on their way out.

In the recent past, Apple had offered two series of “Pro” notebooks, but now Apple is standardizing on a singular MacBook Pro branding rather than maintaining a separate MacBook Pro with legacy technologies and a MacBook Pro with Retina Display line that is slimmer and eschews the legacy ports. Now, with the new MacBook Pro, Apple is merging both lines into a single product brand.

The new MacBook Pro carries with it a lot of similarities with the older Retina Display cousin, including the Retina Display resolution screen. And now, Apple has killed off the optical drive on the MacBook Pro, a nod to the death of CD and DVD storage as consumers are moving towards the cloud for storage, backup, and even for consumption of content thanks to stores like Amazon’s Video on Demand, Apple’s iTunes, and Netflix among others.

Also resting in peace is the standard optical disc drive. Rather than a standard hard drive, Apple is now using flash-based storage on the MacBook Pro, another feature that was borrowed from the older MacBook Pro with Retina Display of yore. The new MacBook Pro comes with standard flash storage, offering consumers more reliability as flash drives are less prone to failing in harsh conditions and also allow for lighter, thinner notebook designs. Another benefit is that read and write speeds are faster, which is a must for displaying content on the high resolution display while conserving battery power.

And the best part about this year’s refresh? Lower prices. Given the rapid improvements and innovation in technology, prices are dropping so Apple is able to deliver more at a more affordable pricing. The drop in pricing between a 13-inch MacBook Pro–with this year’s storage upgrades, Retina Display, slimmer and lighter design–will make it hard to choose between the Pro model and the more ultraportable MacBook Air at the same screen size.
