When Apple is using the pictures on its customers

Cliché No. 1 on the Apple computer users: the art, they do not know, they buy the design. And Apple has obviously understood what "cliché" and applies to its support. When a client wanting to add memory to an iMac G5 is seeking information on the Apple site, it can fall on a note of the knowledge base that explains the principle of dual channel.

The extension is effective - even if the concept of placing two parallel bars is not complicated - but especially the last paragraph that is challenging, as you can see.

Get Wi-Fi N Dual Band USB port on his

Trendnet has just introduced what it considers to be the first USB Wi-Fi N Dual Band, but one can question the usefulness of the TEW-684UB. The firm says it is possible to connect the adapter to the wireless router to take advantage of the Internet, and the second antenna is used to connect to another USB Adapter Trendnet Wireless N.

This suggests that this adapter dual band plays primarily the role of tutor. The TEW-684UB is a complement to the TEW-687G, an adapter that acts as a repeater, that is to say, he picks up the network router to return it to another terminal. The TEW-687G uses a Gigabit Ethernet port. The TEW-684UB uses the same principle, but the Internet connection sharing wireless router with other Wi-Fi instead of an Ethernet connection.

LG screens are a problem on the iPad 2

LG have been forced to slow production of slabs for iPad 2 because they would cause problems with light leakage found on some models (see video below). Samsung also have the opportunity to increase its supply of screens for the tablet to the apple. The iPad 2 is thinner thanks, among other things, passing a slab of 0.85 mm for the old model to 0.62 mm.

Many have asked if it would not cause problems. It seems that Samsung panels are free of defect, unlike those of LG. This explains why, according to DigiTimes, the latter did that delivered 3.2 million to Apple, Samsung cons 4 million. The problems involving the two slabs of the iPad would be limited to its production line 6G.
