Apple takes a halt: Samsung taken out of next A7 chip production.

It clearly comes with intriguing notations but the fact is, Samsung will no longer be in contract with Apple anymore as A7 affiliated chip production grinds to an halt. Am quite not sure why apple disconnected from Samsung but from my own thinking perspective, Samsung, did the same and never uncovered what they were planning for it's devices when holding annual press meetings in Korea. This comes after The Korea Times updated the cut off incarnation revealed by apple. Off-course apple has been icing the cake to Samsung when it intended of coming up with a newer device for it's consumers but it's latest confirmation leaves Samsung puzzled & dismayed 

The two companies confirmed deeper relationship since the A6 and A6X chip production that both the iPhone 4S & 5 portrayed. The A6 and A6X performed significantly fine. Each showed 20 nano's with respect to Intel's standard execution that passed FCC (Federal-Communication-Commissions) qualification standards. Samsung, from apple's wireless & semi conductors chief, Bob Mansfield, laid positive & never assumed Samsung would one day be out of contract with apple. Sources told on CNET reveal a crushing & as well partial disagreements that Samsung faced with apple when tabling issues with forth coming chip production from both firms. Ironically, Samsung goes further filling reports indicating the bond between them & apple is unbreakable but why did apple shift it's chip operations to a manufacturing company by the name TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) of which sources on "The Korea times" updates?

Apple's future promising chip manufacturing company 

Last month sources, different from "Korea Times" hinted the untold deal at CNET that apple was quisling deals with TSMC and they were both in contract of which apple was perhaps awaiting it's 20 nanometer chip spec that based on TSMC and would be out by 2014. The source goes on further indicating that apple will still be with Samsung till it's A6 chip runs out of course. This gives clear information that Samsung won't be making ties with apple in the name of A7 chip production which will be a successor to A6 and A6X series processors that currently powers the iPhone & iPad respectively 

Commentary:- Guys, the relationship between apple and Samsung is somewhat privy. No one knows what may happen and change the retailing-contract structure between these two firms but what am sure of is, apple's come back in contract with it's rival Samsung will perhaps bring with it a rippling effect that no any other firm within the chip industry can imagine. Meanwhile I've contacted a senior tech blogger from Apple retailing department and will update you with more if any latest is replied.

What I'd like to see on this year's MacBook Pros

What the Tech Analyst would love to see about Pro's this year
(Credit: Apple)

The suspense is building and apple has to act according to it's manifesto. July last year was such a dear but not the way i expected it to be. wwdc was mind blowing, showcasing it's Macbook-pro with retina display as a punching update ever seen from previous presentations. The pro survived a heating notch by 89.9%, killing the thinner MacBook air PC with a desperate 55.5%. Great features propelled somewhat acceptance from fanatics like i who greatly wished to see last years keynote a day to remember. June 11-15th 2012 wwdc was a week everybody had been waiting for. I expected to unearth varieties especially from PC franchise upgrades. The MacBook-pro brought with it an eye catching incarnation. The 15-inch sized laptop, thicker with it's uncluttered aluminium coat glued specs of high-end design that made it a super-pro! SSDs, fusion drive legacy, retina display & with of no debate a whooping 768 Gigs of flash packed (an increase from 512 Gigs that the Air punched). This year i would love to see the pro & infact ranging from the desktop to it's laptop. Last time we saw apple debuting a DT-pro was way back in 2010. Apple, with views from many have criticized it's mode of production and i think it's high time Tim Cook shows some love to residents of California , CA.  This year, am rather obliged that Phil Schiller  will at least do me a favor if the items am to list below showcase's the world-wide-conference in style -- Here's what i would want to see!

4th Generation Network - Let the shooting star pass at glance as i pen this on screen.....I was dead wrong when i thought the 15-inch MacBook-Pro will shade light on 4G network. Apple has presumably laid hands on the iPad & forgot that the pro's also has a chip-set number to consider. off-course the iPad has embraced 4G but why should we have the Pro taking the ice-cream share of the network? I mean it's not a bad idea seeing the 4G dream landing on the big Pro! after all, do any of PC manufacturing company deployed such an idea to test?

Optional Retina Display and YES on a thinner Pro - It's high time apple up it's game by taking note of designing a thinner pro. The 15-inch Pro possess glacier outright look, elegant & perhaps higher specs but adjusting it to a thicker base gives it a stone-age design. This year i'd need to see a thinner Pro  but then having optional retina display, yeah! what i mean is, it should come in variety for consumer to opt for. Let one machine maintain the retina display while the other favor a line of consumer grouping. Not everyone needs a Mac with a killing tag of $2,199 in price. Apple, please offer a variety.

A bigger Track-Pad - Believe it or not apple's introduction to a multi-touch on a bounded small track-pad isn't epic. How do you see of a smaller track-pad especially on a bigger 15-inch Pro? Maybe technically am spoiled! Expanding the track-pad on the Pro would as well welcome more & prevail a big consumer catch.

A Larger, non-SSD Drive - pro users want larger hard-drive space. This doesn't come as a by the way but what am sure of is, if you own a laptop then am afraid you'll be invoking the spirit of downloading HD movies, photos & even high-resolution clipped videos. Currently the Pro comes with an SSD all imagined to have 768 Gigs of flash in capacity. I assume this guzzles more on power whereas Intel is facing out power hungry processors perhaps soon. Instead of i going to purchase an external hard-drive that spins at high speed & guzzles almost 30Amp of power (Mark-you am in town showing off my project to my boss) & off the Pro grinds to an halt, won't this mean incompetence?

So what exactly do i want? - It won't be fare to judge this year's apple production but the four highlighted ideas if kept in place will insanely boost apple's line of margin with a hitting scale factor, maybe to predict, 60.25%+ (up) from last years line of margin that clocked 50.42%. To sum-up everything i need an economical, robust & most likely a turning head MacBook-Pro design that will favor the whole being of what a PC needs to be because if it wasn't for Apple's team i wouldn't have touched MacBook's lineup of design.

- Wait! "I've one more thing for you today". Watch the MacBook-Pro surviving a torture through hasty conditions & off-course we want apple to maintain such a durable product like this one this year!

Commentary:- What do you need to see on this years Pro or are you happy with current pattern trend of  apple's design? have a pleasure of your casting your  stand inside the comment box.

Will the "Haswell" processor be the next F1 Engine? Let's chime that into analysis

It has been 1 year & 3 months since sandy & ivy bridge came to market. Tech-gurus have managed to motivate consumers by allowing integration of Nvidia thus providing best performance when working across your device. Lets make it clear that top firms like Microsoft, & Apple have had and always made it on higher pedestal from the fact that engineering ivy & sandy wasn't a spare to unfold. Last year at world-wide-developers conference (wwdc) apple company unveiled both 13 and 15 inch MacBook pro all capacitance displaying ivy bridge in control, come to Microsoft, it's first PC, surface tablet survived round one with it also maintaining ivy processor on-board. Of-course other PC firms like Lenovo showcased the same but if i was to ask, will the incoming haswell processor be the next F1 engine to turn request for other companies to follow soot? I bet no......whatever am about to analyse should be taken with a clean, pinch of salt. technical- wise, ivy bridge processor has shown great interest to PC manufacturing firms. Take the case of execution be of great topic here. Ivy bridge, though not taking order of execution into consideration, it's to my opinion that, ivy still maintains a stable record in execution that haswell won't be holding if granted an additional 2 years. Analysts have argued that haswell will rather be sailing hot prior & after it's sale but afterwords maintain dormancy after 4-5 months of release. Features packed with haswell are quite liquiditive, ease the pain of less uphold of battery power, excellent data transfer with both front & back buses but won't satisfy it's consumers when it comes to real back-up of stability especially on complex operating systems . You wanna know why haswell's a passing cloud? check on these two principals i've down broken for you.

Out-of-order execution.

a processor executes instructions in an order governed by the availability of input data, rather than by their original order in a program. It's a mind blowing innovation, easy & somehow reliable when viewed from shallow angles but doesn't this alter system's developers pattern of formality? am assuming if complex operating systems like MS windows & OSX (x-versions) are to be directly layered on haswell processor then target firms developing these stand-alones' will have to layhands on a clean 1 billion hefty package to re-programme different layout of data transmission that may not favor the smooth rendering of haswell's program execution. Pointing on both ivy and sandy bridge, haswell emerges as complex processor that may not comply with hardwares' compatibility of standards. With 22nm on both old & the yet unveiled 4th generation processor, questions still revolve  as to whether out-of-order execution serves haswell a knight of Camelot.     

Desktops and server stations chip-sets maintains a C1-C4 power state design. 

C1-C4 are not tangible materials as many of you would think but rather, CPU / package sleep states that are governed by internal 3D-trigates that calculate transmissions of these CPU packages. Initially, both sandy & ivy bridge clogged the Q5-Q8 chipsets that are with no doubt chip-sets with right fitting instruction. Mobile devices clogged the QHM87 - QHM86 inbuilt chipsets that gave normal threshold lining of power consumption when entering standby/sleep mode. Today we're hinted to haswell, the 4th generation processor but do industries really want to unfold what was termed old & incapable with matters concerning power balance? It is a big YES that haswell will make us proud by mobilizing resources which will soon cut down heavy guzzling of power but what of C1-C4 chipsets? it won't change anything! 

Commentary:- Well, it's a battle for which series of processor gets in the consumer cycle. Intel hasn't failed yet but the huddle ahead makes no hive for it to delay further. The 4th generation processor will make progressions if only, matters concerning executions & chip-sets remuneration are taken via a live lens.

Jailbreak Conundrum? Evad3rs has a YES for all iPhone 5 users

Jailbroken  iPhone 5 displaying Cydia app store (Credit: SourceFeedNews.com)

Commentary:- Jail-breaking an iPhone, in fact the iPhone 5 seems interesting. It's about 4 months since Apple debuted this stylish, gorgeous & most terrific iDevice for the spring users to embrace. What makes it interesting is how the clean fit of it's Britannica design takes shape when working with it on your palm. The iPhone 5 is lately designed to perform better with high level & extreme graphic hardware acceleration, be it gaming, browsing the web, taking HD photos & as well videos for later review. Apple, of late, has given it's users a mind controlling device to tangle about, but does anyone realize how more interesting this iDevice can be when jailbroken? i guess some of you aren't getting this right. Don't get it twisted either. Jailbreaking here simply means, removing Apple's limitation from it's iOS devices' operating system through the use of software & hardware exploits. The iDevices that fall into this one iOS basket includes the iPod touch, iPad, iPhone & Second Generation Apple TV. All have the capabilities of dribbling  binaries that kernel from A5 family can marry & merge both it's firmware & kernel-band into one. Well it's time to throw this evasion secret to the wind & let the parachute drop you to a land of alternate app store known as Cydia. Jailbreaking has given insight to developers but again a stressful incarnation is what raises this flag of frustration to many. Apple, for the past years, has been chipping critical patches to it's latest iDevice hardware for excellent restriction where hackers have still come to discover. Take the scenario of iOS 5, was it a living menace that no hacker came to unveil? Did it come to fade away from the thoughts of many Apple users? the definite answer here is NO; -  & i mean there's nothing gonna stumble hackers from debuting a newer way of hacking into that system. Last week on Sunday, that's five days past to be precise, a group of hackers styling themselves as the Evad3rs team gave a tweet that went viral stating their new release of a usable jailbreak software that could go through a couple of iOS devices with the iPhone 5 & others being included. Interestingly, the jailbreak, through the 1st two, day, test-run attempt after it's debut, only worked well but through a tethered installation (Direct iDevice connection with PC resources being on utility). No one especially me recommended this kind of jailbreak actually because of various reasons here & there. After performing the above jailbreak, users could only turn-on/reboot their device via an open & full authentication of a cable plug-in. I first experienced this when jailbreaking my 1st iPhone,  the iPhone 4. I could hardly switch on my device when it abruptly went off due to low battery power, meaning, i had to head back home later in the day after my day work & boot it back to life via a tethered connection with my laptop offering such a support. It's on Wednesday that a new & advanced jailbreaking mechanism was kept in place for junkies to gaga with.

- Now, without wasting no time, I'll highlight fancy steps on how you'll jailbreak your iPhone 5 cellphone in minutes:

*Step 1 visit this Evasi0n Jailbreak website here & download only packages aided for your platform.
*step 2 Go to the website of Redsn0w and down load the jailbreak tool depending upon the OS of your computer and the baseband of your phone
*Step 3  Create a folder for this tool on your desktop and name it redsn0w
*step 4  Unzip the files of the software and launch it on your computer (Windows users) for Linux & Mac based platform run the tarball file (Best initialed as Tar) package under a terminal execution, making sure you're logged in as Root as I've displayed below.

*Step 5 Initiate jailbreak option in the software but before that, make sure you click on run as administrator option (On windows platform) or Root/Super User (On either Mac/Linux)
*Step 6 switch off the iPhone 5 and connect it to the computer
*Step 7  Put the device in DFU mode and follow the commands given by the jailbreak tool
*Step 8  The software notifies before completing jailbreak. This is when you need to click on exit before unplugging the phone from the computer
*Step 9  Your iPhone 5 is now jailbroken. You can also unlock it if you choose!

Warning!!!

Let it be clearly noted that i will not be held liable for any damage to the device. Users are advised to create back-up for all the data of the device. Ensure that the battery of the device carries more than 80 per cent of charge.

N/B

-Jailbreaking doesn't unlock your iDevice. It's only a rail-line exposing you to various 3rd party application & furthermore evade Apple's restrictions. 

- Am pretty sure you're now displaying a coy smile on your face as your iPhone 5 is now ready to take full control to the world of amazing apps, some paid for, while others not exorbitant in any way or rather on commercial - Amazingly free!
