Predictions for Upcoming Apple Notebook Computera
With the upcoming Apple event it comes time again for me to speculate on upcoming Apple devices.
With the success of iOS and the iPad I predict that future apple notebooks would be a hybrid of the an iPad and the laptop computers we have come to love.
Notebooks will have an standard OS X mode and an instant on, battery saving iOS mode for when OS X is not booted. The iOS mode would be ideal for quickly checking the calendar for appointments or sending a quick email.
The hardware would be configured so you can use the physical keyboard in iOS and possibly the notebook's screen would gain touch capability. Or if there is no touch screen then touch interaction would be handled by the multi touch track pad.
I don't foresee apple just slapping the IPad OS into a notebook. Instead it will be optimized for a notebook configuration ie no auto screen rotation and such and maybe a mouse pointer for trackpad use.
Hardware wise I predict that the notebooks would gain a cellular radio and GPS similar to what is available on the iPad. User would have access to at&t's no contract data plans. The cellular data access would be available to OSX and iOS.
Location will also play a role in the upcoming OS X. There would convenient OS X features like maybe switching setting from different locations (think if I'm not at home or office then heightened network security) or recovery of a stolen notebook.

Hybrid Hard Drives Are Now a Reality
Seagate unveils it's new hybrid hard drive. It contains a 4GB SSD with a traditional platter drive. This gives you a boost of speed from the SSD while getting a lot of storage without the astronomical SSD prices. While we wait for NAND prices to come down this hybrid drive offers the most bang for the buck.
Seagate accomplishes the task of merging the two technologies by having the drive analyze what data is used most frequently and storing that data on the SSD portion of the drive. All of this is done by the drive without intervention from the operating system any software.
Various benchmarks say that these drives see a good performance boost compared to traditional drives and are almost as fast as SSD only drives.

Had a great time celebrating Amy and Karen's birthday at Wurstküche. Though I myself enjoyed drinking the strongest yellow beer on the left the most the others were good. The Lightest tasted a bit watery though.

Had had great chance to visit Oakland again. On the streets they retired all of the individual parking meters in lieu of a centralized parking payment machine. This one is the last remaining relic on that street.

Had a good meal of vegan tacos at Flacos. It was good but not as good as my mind had hyped it out to be when I first discovered it. But to their credit where else can you find vegan Pozole. Posted via email from latca

Today I was one of those guys sitting at the Starbucks with my Mac (I think I was one of three) though instead of working on my novel or screen play I was actually just surfing the web. Thinking back I should have pretended to come up with a great idea and start typing like crazy once in a while to complete the ruse.
