Apps That Will be Killed After the Release of Mac OS X Mountain Lion

Apple will release the latest Mac OS, Mac OS X Mountain Lion, and it will bring us many new features to the desktop OS from iOS. This action will make many apps that we use often and we like very much useless. After the publish of OS X Mountain Lion, the following app will be useless anyway.

Adium & AIM

Most of users have already drop the AIM for a long time and use iChat or Adium. However, after the Messages release, it will make users to forget them totally. Adium now has many pressure about it. Because its hot point is Growl's compatibility and easy-to-use cross-platform record. While after the release of Notification Center in Messages, this function seems meaningless. If you'd like to sync the chat record manually, it is a nice idea to move it from mobile devices to desktop.

In fact, if you use FaceTime or iMessages to contact with your friends, there are no choice for you except Messages. This is mainly because iMessage does a great job and perfectly support IM agreement. If you are using iPhone or iPad, you have to use it. There is another benefit if you are using Messages. Apple will maintain it always, while Adium is like a homeless orphan. Now, the only thing that Adium is doing well is its icon and skin. Maybe, it is a good news for them.

Dropbox

As we all know that, Jobs likes Dropbox very much. It is said that he once attempted to buy it and integrated it to iCloud for 800 million US Dollor. Some people said that Dropbox is a feature, not a product. But Dropbox still exist independently. Now Apple already surpassed it and even make it die.

Other server seems useless after the new feature of iCloud release. The user document sync on all the devices is a big problem. Altough it includes many functions of Dropbox, but its cross-platform feature makes Dropbox will replace by iCloud totally. And there is still no big file on iCloud, so Dropbox with big file can not sync fast anytime and anywhere. There is no doubt that Apple's iCloud will win the battle.

SMS

Maybe that there are few people in your family who are not using smart phone. It is possible that they will become the lonely island of information exchange after the release of Messages. Because although Messages will be come the center of communication, it needs to record the SMS separately. Cross-platform service become more and more common, such as Gtalk and so on. At the same time, SMS is only used on cellphone. For the iOS users, there is no reason to use SMS any more and it costs money.

Growl

Notification Center is like a more easier to use Growl. It uses and improves the core function of Growl, supports show the notice at the up-right of the screen. Growl Rollup is totally used in Apple's desktop app and which is different from Growl is that the notice will on the screen until user ignore it. Notification Center's hidden sidebar design uses a more elegant and non-invasive way to get the same info. When users are doing other things and do no see the notice, they would like to see the notice.

Users will get more friendly user experience, especially after Apple opens the API of it to the third party apps. So the OS Mountain Lion will kill Growl soon after its release.

Nice to meet you gys here. I'm interested in DVD Converter andiPad Video Converter. If you are interested in them too, share us your resource.

Will Apple Notebook Use Self-developed ARM Processor?

This article is first written by Video Converter for Mac Club.

Gus Richard, a senior analyst for Piper Jaffray reported that Apple is developing a self-developed processor notebook in a research on Friday, which is working on an ARM-based notebook whether Apple is actually manufacture or not. It will have a great impact to Intel.

Richard said: “a number of data we get indicate that Apple's processor design group is developing a product based on the ARM architecture, the future will be used for notebook and it is unclear whether this processor is put into operation, but ARM enter to the PC market, Intel is facing the greatest risk.” “While the smartphone market is important to Intel, its core franchise of PCs and servers are where of the company's profits emanate from,” Richard wrote. "We believe the PC market remains weak in part due to the shortage of hard disk drives, and while we expect an increase in demand with improving disk drive supply, we do not expect it to be robust. We also see the cannibalization of the PC market by tablets." At present, the processor of the ARM architecture is widely used in smart phones and tablets. Apple iPad and the iPhone 4S uses the A5 processor, which is also based on the ARM architecture. Apple will soon release the next generation iPad which also be upgraded A Series processor.

An ARM-based notebook would technically fall under the category of a “smartbook” a product that Qualcomm started showing off in the middle of 2009. Ironically, the concept died in part, then, because of the lack of Windows. Fast forward three years, however, and Windows on ARM is one of the more intriguing aspects of Windows 8. For his part, Richard called Windows 8 “late”, but also a “likely Dud on Arrival.” Relative to Intel processors, ARM processors consume less power, but the computational performance is weak. In last May, it is reported that Apple will be the future of the MacBook Air products using self-developed A - series processors.

Apple CEO Tim Cook said that Apple iPad product line will continue to expand this week, to meet the needs of the users of similar notebooks. Apple, of course, exists in a separate ecosystem, and the company's A4 and follow-on architectures are based on the ARM processor technology. Richard did not say what OS he believed an ARM-based processor would run, but the iPad/iPhone's iOS would be a likely choice. Apple has also successfully ported its Mac OS from the PowerPC to the Intel X 86 platforms.

While Apple's A - series processor performance continues to improve, but the Intel processor is continuous improvement in energy consumption. For example, the further Haswell processor of Intel is expected to adopt the architecture of the system on a chip, to provide a better balance in terms of both power and performance. This can meet the needs of Apple to notebook processor.

Confirmed: iPad 3 Has a 2048x1536 Retina Display

iPad Converter is dedicated to developing apps for Apple iOS devices.

Over the past couple of months, several photos of displays claimed to be for the iPad 3 have surfaced from various sources. Such parts leaks are typical with the device's expected debut early next month. While reports have claimed that these displays are high-resolution "Retina" displays, there has been no definite confirmation of these claims so far.

MacRumors has now been able to obtain one of these iPad 3 displays and examine it under a microscope in an effort to determine whether it is indeed an ultra-high resolution Retina display. Physically, the purported iPad 3 display is the same size as the current iPad 1 and iPad 2 display at 9.7" in diagonal, and looks quite similar to the naked eye.

However, when comparing the iPad 3 display to one from an iPad 2 under a microscope, the difference in resolutions becomes readily apparent, with the iPad 3 display's pixels appearing to be one-quarter the size of those on the iPad 2.

Since we only had a raw iPad 3 display with no method to power it, taking high quality photos of the pixels was difficult. Still, even with the relatively poor lighting, you can easily make out the pixels on each display (made up of red, green and blue elements). We highlighted a cluster of 4 pixels (2x2) from the iPad 2 to compare it to the same area on the iPad 3. On the iPad 3, the same cluster was occupied by 16 pixels (4x4) -- exactly twice the resolution in each direction.

Extrapolating out, the iPad 3 screen should carry a full resolution of 2048x1536, exactly twice the linear resolution of the iPad 1 and iPad 2 which is 1024x768. Such a screen should be able to display much sharper images as compared to the previous generation iPads.

While these iPad 3 screens weren't directly sourced from Apple, they are labeled as OEM replacement parts for the iPad 3 and are apparently in mass production. The difficulties of any 3rd party in mass producing 2048x1536 9.7" Retina displays make us quite confident that these represent legitimate iPad 3 parts.

Apple is expected to introduce the iPad 3 with a media event on March 7, and the device is rumored to be carrying this high-resolution display, a new A6 system-on-a-chip, and LTE support for models with cellular data capabilities.
