Apple releasing iOS 4.2

The company announced that its latest operating system update for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad users will be available today, though the software was not yet available for download at 7:00 a.m. PT on Apple's site or directly through iTunes. MacStories and MacWorld are reporting that iOS 4.2 will debut by 10:00 a.m. PT.

The eagerly awaited update will bring to the iPad new features that already hit the iPhone and iPod Touch through last summer's iOS 4.0 release.

iPad users will now be able to multitask by switching from one app to another, organize apps via folders, and more easily jump from one e-mail inbox to another. Owners of Apple's popular tablet will also be able to join Game Center, Apple's social-gaming service that lets people play games online with their friends.

"iOS 4.2 makes the iPad a completely new product, just in time for the holiday season," Apple CEO Steve Jobs said in a statement. "Once again, the iPad with iOS 4.2 will define the target that other tablets will aspire to, but very few, if any, will ever be able to hit."

iOS 4.2 is also bringing new features to all three of Apple's mobile devices.

People who've been asking for the ability to print now have their wish. The new AirPrint feature will print content directly from the mobile device to any AirPrint-enabled printer on a local network. That list initially includes the ePrint enabled printers from Hewlett-Packard, such as the HP Photosmart, HP LaserJet Pro, and HP Officejet, though Apple has said that iOS 4.2 mobile devices will be able to send data to any printer as long as it's connected through a Mac or PC. People can print documents, Web pages, photos, and other files. Apple is also touting the fact that no drivers, software, or cables are required to print via AirPrint.

The new AirPlay will wirelessly stream music, videos, and photos from an iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad to the Apple TV box. Music can also be streamed directly to AirPlay-enabled speakers or to any stereo using AirPort Express.

Those worried about losing their devices can use the Find My iPhone feature, which also works for the iPad and iPod Touch. Freely available as a download through the App Store, this tool lets people find a missing device by locating it on a map and having it flash a message or play a sound. People can also remotely lock or erase data from their lost device. This type of feature was previously available only to subscribers of Apple's $99-per-year MobileMe service.

The actual launch date of iOS 4.2 was the subject of much speculation over the past couple of weeks. MacStories and other sources had claimed the update was set to debut on November 12. But the release might have been waylaid by a reported Wi-Fi bug that was rumored to have affected the iPad's ability to maintain a wireless connection. Apple pushed out a new Gold Master version for developers on November 12 and then another one this past Thursday.

iOS 4.2 will be available for the iPhone 3G, 3GS, and 4; the iPod Touch 2G, 3G, and 4G; and the iPad. Updating any of these devices with iOS 4.2 first requires iTunes 10.1, which Apple released November 12.

FEATURES AUTOMATIC STABILITY CONTROL (ASC) ON BMW MOTORCYCLES

BMW is one of the famous motorcycle brand to its high technology, many innovations that prioritizes BMW driving comfort and driving safety, if previously we talked about the Adaptive Technology Lamp / Adaptive headlights, now we discuss about Automatic Stability Control, or we will call ASC.

Is a pair of features ABS, ASC is one feature that was added to the motor torque was large for easy driving in different conditions with a slippery surface.
Added features on the ASC aims to prevent the motor, rear wheel spin out of control because the power is very large, and also prevent the front wheels are not lifted (wheelie) when fully extended gas.

So remember, chriss Pfeiffer BMW not wear it? then why he can wheelie and sliding? hehehe it turns out this feature can be turned off bro .. but still, its default ON.

advanced to the ASC again, how the principle of ASC works?

The basic principle is, when the ABS sensors that detect both wheels spin, it detects that the number of turns the front wheels and rear wheels are not the same, then the ASC immediately determine if the rear wheels spin out of control? If so, then the system will automatically reduce the ignition of the spark plug for power is reduced, if still not enough then the fuel injection will stop fuel supply to the motor can be controlled anymore.
With a myriad of features technology and innovation from BMW for the bike, so yes aja fair if the price of BMW motorcycles ga-a little bit fair

MAGNETIC FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY ON FAST TRAINS

Flying train, known as magnetically Levitated Train (Maglev Train) is only going to drift as high as several inches (+ -1.0 cm) above the railroad tracks. We start with the name: magnetically Levitated Train.
The train can be lifted due to the magnetic forces. We know that magnets have two poles, the North (U) and South (S). We also know that the North Pole and South poles always attract, while similar poles (North or South to North with the South) is always repulsive. The basic principle applied is simple to run and 'fly'

In the figure ranks of magnets along the walls and along the train (the letters U shows the North Pole, and S indicates the South Polar). Along the magnetic line of this wall is produced by alternating electric current from the nearest stations. North Pole (U) on the front train car pulled by the South Pole and North Pole was rejected by the track wall. The same thing happened on the other side of the train. In the figure, green arrow shows the attractive force between the North Pole and South that attract Figure 2.a advanced train. Small blue arrows indicate repulsion between similar poles (North by North, South, with the South). Attraction and repulsion that work together it makes the train move forward smoothly.

The principle Style attraction and repulsion magnetic poles! In Figure 2-B we see the magnets on the track wall. This magnet is produced by electromagnetic induction caused by the train.When the position of the train a few centimeters below the magnetic center of this wall, then the South pole will pull the wall rail to the top and the north pole will drive the train also and above.Tensile force and thrust it makes trains floating, not touching the rails at all. The walls that enclose the track this train not only serves to pull and push the train to move forward and lift the train so that it can float. There is one other function that is not less important, namely to control the speed of the train (guidance).
The point is that the train is never out of line and stay in the middle of the track every time. The principle of magnetic re-used as a controller. When the train wobbling to the left, the train movement has resulted in the coil of wire left and right wall into a magnet. Magnets on the left wall and right wall has cultivated the same pole, such as the North Pole. For example, the rail cars are faced with a wall on the left side has the North Pole as well, and train carriages are faced with a wall on the right side has a South pole. On the left side will happen repelling between the North pole of the wall and the North Pole train car. On the right side of attraction occurs between the North pole South pole walls and trains.
These forces will return the cart before the shaky position. Similarly, if a train wobbling to the right, the train will be restored to its original position by the force of this magnet. So the magnetic force so that it will maintain the trains stay on the path (stable in the middle of the track), will not be out of line.
If there is no friction means no obstacle (just have to overcome air resistance) so the train can glide smoothly with very high speed! To reduce air resistance design of the train intentionally made so that the front part shaped like a dolphin's snout.

Camera Technology In Use At The Football Match

Watching football on television viewing is more exciting than watching directly on the gridiron.Treats cool pictures. That's because the video cameras mounted all over the field. More dramatic!

There is one that too and might not ever imagine us if these tricks that one can make the audience cool and stay in position to watch a football match. Yup, the video camera! If we watch football from the tv, we certainly are not presented visually with a camera that monotonous. There are several angles that are served and it makes us closer to the players.So, on this thread want nyuguhin ane camera technology in a football match in terms of placement, and also any kind of technology needed for this.

The following is a type of camera technology that is used to record the football game

1. Sky Cam / Cam Spider (this is the most recent, so I will discuss more details)

To match the terbilangspesial, to the satisfaction of viewers and to support the impressions in 3d format then in use sky cam.
The camera is also used human skycam cinema in hollywood.Skycam is controlled by a remote control that can move at speeds up to 48 miles per hour through a wire sling mounted on the four corners of the stadium by using the robotic system and the mo-torik, either on camera or on the driving support sendiri.skycam camera that takes such a control room for regulate the movement of the motor wire slings and control the camera to move in accordance with the desired object.
Skycam devices that have a weight of about 15 kilograms was created by Gareth Brown in 1984.The camera is hung using the four transverse wires above the stadium. The camera produces images between 60-90 degrees from the ground surface.

2. Net Cam
Located just behind the wicket which was placed in a special tool. It could take scenes going on around the net with a very ideal.

3.Kamera Helicopters
Placed in a helicopter and can provide atmosphere view inside the stadium and surrounding areas
