Apple will not enter the TV market

After the death of Steve jobs there has been rampant speculation that apple will launch their own TV set so a real Apple TV instead of a set top box. Apple will not get in this business as we have seen in the 2011 Christmas sale season, even at rock bottom prices people are just not interested in television sets.

If apple was to produce a TV set, it would at odds at apples previous successful business entrances. The iPod and iPhone were introduced when phones and personal music players were popular, and further more if apple were to produce a groundbreaking TV, it would need to have great streaming content. Apple is yet to offer any true streaming content and witnessing the attempt's of NetFlix and HULU, the content providers/creators are unwilling to change to a new business model.

These are some of the many reasons apple will not launch a television set, but if they were theses might be some of features we might expect;

apps
high resolution display
unibody/aluminum caising
edge to edge glass display
LED technology with IPS
streaming content
airplay
siri

finally this feature is more of a wish than a possible feature a "holographic display"

Apple fail: Maps

--> New Apple Maps Logo Old Google Maps logo Google maps was brutally axed from the iOS platform during the latest iteration of the operating system, as usual there is huge resistance from iOS users, since google maps was a better option to what is currently being provided by Apple maps. While Apple maps are generally fine, with mapping data provided by tomtom and open street map, they lack street view, public transport locations and accurate POI data. To compensate for this short fall Apple has provided turn-by-turn navigation and unique 3d feature called flyover. while the turn-by-turn navigation is a critical feature which was missing from Apple's mobile platform, I'd much rather have street view than the terrible flyover feature which makes roads and bridges looks like roller-coasters and buildings look like sausages emerging from the earth. Another massive error on Apple's part is the launch of incorrect maps where entire cities are either...

Mac Lion and battery life

the battey life on my new macbook pro 13" has been a mixed result, while I have tested it running at half brightness settings and the keyboard backlight off I was able to run the machine from 100 - 0% for approximately 5 hours, during this time I was actively using the computer using the web browser (chrome since its the best). An interesting thing which I found out was that the running of multiple desktops and the number of widgets running on the dashboard affects battery life. after adding an extra desktop that is a change in 36 minutes of battery life, so if you don't have access to a power outlet keep your desktops to a minimum

Thunderbolt's potential or future

Apple have been pushing this new thunderbolt port from intel, it combines PCIe and display port technology, thus we are seeing a ranger of connectors from apple to go from thunderbolt to HDMI, DVI etc. also we have seen the introduction of the new apple cinema display which as apple are have named the thunderbolt display since it connects through thunderbolt I/O technology with 10 Gbits/sec speed why only apple pushing this port? well there is usb 3.0 though not as fast it is more widely used as most laptops are coming with at least one usb 3.0 port and many peripheral 's are making the switch as well as the fact that its backward compatible, thunderbolt we should not count it out yet, thunderbolt or light peak as it was called has the ability to add extra hardware components such as graphics cards. the best example of this sort of implementation is with 2011 vaio z, it has a core i7 processor and is made to compete with the macbook air though is no where near the same price,...
