Craigslist is pretty great, though, you gotta admit. Anything other than a car or furniture, meet at a bank or somewhere with cameras. You can get some great deals or quick money. I bought two cars on there and have sold like 3 iPhones.

As an electrical engineer, I'm just happy when the architect gives me an electrical room somewhere in the building.
An hour of battery life? What's your source on that figure?
And by "not anywhere near," you mean "within a few percent" - just like with your laptop.
I didn't even think of that. It looks like the new standard allows for up to 24-volt power at 6 amps.
Server closet... riiiight.
It's pretty ridiculous that they even had to come out and say anything about this.
Ten Reasons Why A Car Is Better Than A Woman
Yeah. I think this generation is making some compromises to accommodate the screen with today's processor and other tech. Probably part of the reason why other manufacturers haven't gotten something similar to market (as most all tablets charge via USB). All in all, its a damn fine piece of engineering.
sure, but not under normal use; your car has a rated power at a rated RPM and that's what it's designed to deliver. Going beyond design limits is possible with modification but for people who just it to work and stay under warranty they've got protection measures in place.
If this is Apple's big controversy for the year, they should consider themselves lucky.
If they could come up with a nice graphic between the one for "charging" and "charged" to illustrate the conditioning cycle, then that would be handy info.
There's not a lot they could do besides switching to a dedicated power connector. 10 watts is already pushing the limits on a standard USB cable. The standard rating is 1.5 amps and USB power is supplied at 5VDC. The iPad draws 2 amps when charging.
It's just a protection circuit. When it hits 100%, that's when you have 100% of the rated battery life available. The rest of the charge cycle is just conditioning the battery. This is not about obfuscating additional capacity from the user, it's about protecting the hardware. Your laptop does the same thing, and so…
Ok, alright. I was mostly focusing on the widescreen one. You got me.
Personally I think the next one will the "one to own" as far as hardware goes. I feel like with the Retina display, next year's software will already start bogging down the A5X.
The answer to all your bullet points is an Android tablet...
Yep. Working on something that tens of millions of people will buy? That has got to be damned interesting. And stressful. And rewarding.
There is a very significant and unprecedented movement towards sustainable/"green" energy policy and design/engineering over the past few decades, and I believe that it is permeating into general culture now in a way that it never has in the past.
