Apple has a new iPhone 5, and Sony Tablet
Grafton technology fans could have a very merry Christmas. The iPhone 5 is rumored to be out in time for the busy holiday season this year. These are some of the things that I expect the new iPhone to have. Ships with iOS 5 Apple always makes a improvement to their operating system every year for their newest iPhone and iPad. Probability: 100% Ships with faster processor Currently the iPad 2 has a 1GHz A5 dual core processor and since the Android phones already have dual core processors, it's a safe bet that the next iPhone will have a dual core processor. Better battery life The battery life from the iPhone 3GS to the iPhone 4 improved 40% and it will probably improve from the iPhone 4 to iPhone 5 If Apple includes LTE 4G capability…

Happy birthday, Apple.
The options offered by today's electric cars are electrifying. The Tesla Model S is an all-electric car that can go from 0-60mph in 5.6s. Now before you say that electric cars have a limited range the Model S can do up to 300 miles per charge, and since there is no combustion there are zero emissions. The car in the best conditions can top out at 120mph; the dashboard display is a whopping 17in touch screen with 3G connectivity so you can look up the best restaurant to bring your family. The battery pack is below the floor and gives the car more torsional stiffness keeping the car from bending. When it comes with safety Tesla focused on aerodynamics, weight reduction, and decreased rolling resistance, with an electric motor and strong …

The answers from the predictions from January, the true and the actual.
January had a lot of new and exciting products that got released and/or announced and here are some of the top products that I have chosen. ioSafe performed another extreme demonstration to show off their new product called ioSafe Rugged Portable at the American Shooting firing range in Las Vegas. The demonstration involved firing live rounds at the aluminum hard drive version, the least rugged of the portable versions. The drive was first submerged in water for a few minutes and then exposed to ten rounds from a 12-gauge shotgun using Winchester Expert Game Load Steel ammo. The hard drive was retrieved and slammed on the ground and then they tried to crush it with a vise. After all the abuse, it was connected to a laptop using a USB 3.…
