iPad Third Generation
iPad Third Generation Keynote
5-13-12
Apple has released its new iPad, the third generation. The iPad third generation is not called the iPad 3, it is just called iPad. The biggest difference in the new iPad is the screen. When the iPad 2 came out, the screen had not improved much and the changes were in the camera, battery, thickness and processor. Most were disappointed because of the iPhone 4 that had come out with retina display screen. They were expecting the same for the iPad 2. Now the iPad Third generation has Retina Display. The other main new feature is 4G on AT&T or Verizon. Also a faster processor, but these features don ‘t come without a sacrifice. The iPad is now heavier and thicker.
The screen is now a resolution of 2048-by-1536 pixels, which comes out to 264 pixels per inch. Text has become much easier to read, with no jagged edges and very crisp. The iPad now runs an A5X Dual core Cortex A9 processor, and a quad-core graphics engine. The camera has also improved to 5 megapixels in front. The cameras can now record in 1080p. This brings up another subject, memory. 1080p video has a much larger file storage than 720p, the iPad 2’s resolution. 16GB may no longer be enough for people who use their iPad to take pictures and movies. The 16 GB model is priced at $499, the 32 GB at $599 and the 64 GB at $699. If you want 4G, it is an extra $130. The trouble is, you might want to get a higher gigabyte model, because you are stuck with how much memory is in your iPad. There are no expansion slots for more memory.
With the new iPad, the iPad 2 is now available for $100 less, or $399 for the 16GB, and so on. A good question to ask yourself is whether or not to save $100 and buy the iPad 2, or by the iPad third generation for the higher resolution screen. You may find that it is better to pick the iPad 3. The screen is drastically better, and it makes reading much easier, and watching movies, viewing pictures, and pretty much everything. The screen resolution makes a huge difference.
The iPad Third Generation is a great tablet with an amazing screen, that outshines its Android competitors.

The 3D TV: The Next Step in Entertainment
3D TV
Nov 8, 2011
As always, companies are trying to figure out the new next best technology to place out in the world. The TV companies have come out with HD televisions, and plasma screens. So what is the next big thing? The three dimensional television. The way this works is a really interesting science. To learn how a 3D TV works, you must first learn about how our human eye see depth of an image. The way we see depth is with both our eyes. Our brain takes the image from both of our eyes, each seeing from a different perspective, and then combines the two seperate images for one that you see. By the way, a cool thing to do to test this out is look at one defined object that you can see all of the ends of that is about a foot away from your eyes. Without moving your head, close your right eye, and without moving your head, close your left eye and open your right eye. Does the object appear to move to the left at all? If it does, you did this correctly because of the position of your eyes. Another cool thing about your eyes is this trick: hold up a pencil about half a foot to your face. Look directly at the pencil, now look at something behind it. You can 'see through' the pencil. This is because your eyes are combining an image of the background of the pencil, and ignoring the pencil.
So, the way the 3D part of the new TV's work is by generating two different pictures of the 3D movie scene. One is for the left eye, and one is for the right eye. Then, the TV alternates the images for the left and right eye incredibly fast, so fast that your brain does not detect the image and instead just gets a 3D movie. This only works in specially designed televisions specifically for 3D programs. There is also the glasses 3D that you are used to when you walk in to a three dimension movie at a movie theater. The way this works is the glasses lenses are polarized. One is polarized for a certain image and color, and the other for a different image and color. There are two projectors projecting the image, one image for one lens, the other for the other lens. When your glasses get the image and put it together in your brain, you get a 3D movie. There are other technologies for 3D movies, but these are the most popular. 3D is a new and exciting way to enjoy television.
