Siri Founder Winarsky: Siri than Expected

Norman Winarsky, vice president of SRI Ventures, one of the founders of the Siri application today for Apple Siri new version of the application in its built-in performance, published their own reviews. He said that he was very clear Siri use some of the the glandulifera defects, but he also skillful response of those who criticize the Siri application.

    For those who do not know the Siri history people may not know Siri began with SRI and nothing the Siri technology comes from the U.S. Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency the CALO announced plans: a military to simplify the treatment of some complicated janitorial digital assistant with learning organizations, as well as cognitive ability and the civilian version of the software, which they derived Siri virtual personal assistant. Winarsky is a Siri established. Earlier today Bloomberg's San Francisco office, Winarsky answered a reporter's question about Apple and Siri technology-related issues.

    Winarsky has said earlier that and like the Siri artificial Assistant intelligent application should focus on a specific area. If the product is too broad, then the smart reply the answer will not be so accurate. He said, Siri is the beginning designed for travel and entertainment, SRI is also developing emphasis on other aspects of assistant intelligence products, such as banking the Assistant application Lola and travel assistant application Desti.

    However, when Apple released Siri, gradually formed a multi-cultural elements of the phenomenon, and more With the emergence of this U.S. drama in the "Big Bang", people began to question the Siri strange. Winarsky said: "In fact, certain points of view, this phenomenon is quite good, but it does Siri directed away from the its originally set direction." He also said that he himself does not clearly did not participate in Apple developed the application the details, as one example: "When you want to Siri asked 'Siri, you love me?' This is not about the issue of tourism and entertainment."

    Winarsky immediately also said that the emergence of these problems is not Apple's responsibility.

    Winarsky said: "Overall, I think Apple or an extreme product development, then the perfect thing is certain there will Moreover, they have a variety of resources solutions for solving these problems, and will keep finally see the moon. "

Rapid Sctivation of the "aging" of the Notebook Battery

The Apple A1189 battery in use after a period of time will be "aging". Specific expression of the resistance, when both ends of the charging voltage rises faster, so it is easy to be charging control circuit is judged to have full capacity of nature is "down". The relatively large battery internal resistance, discharge voltage drop, the speed, the system is easily mistaken for a voltage is not enough, the lack of electricity (in fact, there is no electrical discharge). Can be seen from the above description of the process of aging of the battery is a vicious circle, found faster battery working time off when they should exercise it, otherwise, sooner or later, will be finished.
In addition, many lithium battery failure is failure resulted in a power-saving core of the battery bag, a bad mouse droppings a pot of soup. This phenomenon can not be avoided, because the the battery per core power-saving nature can not be completely consistent with a long time there are some slightly lower quality of the first aging, the destruction of the whole (series after) the discharge curve. And simple say is that section of bad batteries before charging full discharge but first had finished, and this time the capacity of the Apple A1175 battery are not being fully utilized.

Battery charge and discharge
The first constant current lithium-ion Apple 1322 battery charging, fast charging, the voltage reaches a certain value and then to constant voltage trickle charging. Laptops usually are not strictly constant-current charge monitoring device. Large load on the system when the charging current is small, whereas the large, the current from the AC power adapter power margin. Obviously, the system will charge the battery and other components, such as CPU, hard drive, LCD and other competing energy sources. I tried to run side Superπ, while charging the way, found that the charge current varies between 0.70 ~ 1.70A, can not meet the requirements of the charging of the lithium-ion battery, so I worry about this kind of work, rechargeable batteries has been damaged. Do not operate the IBM statement on the request of the laptop charging is probably the reason.
When you start charging, if we can select the charge mode, do not select the fast charge mode (Express charge mode) to avoid premature battery "full". There is battery power is low, the highest performance, prohibiting the use of the CPU in order to reduce competition for power. Laptop CPU supports SpeedStep technology, it is best to install the drivers (responsible vendors will be installed) to facilitate the adjustment performance. SpeedStep program icon is a blue flag, right-click on it to performance tuning options. Windows XP system, SpeedStep program will be problems, this time to rely on to adjust the program to modify the BIOS parameters or some brand dedicated software tools such as IBM laptop is very powerful.
On the the lithium discharge or always-on, let the natural discharge better. It is best not to use physical methods (string resistors and the like). Not to say that this is not the only risk is relatively large, the internal protection circuit did not work, the entire Apple A1185 battery void the worst possible battery explosion, of course, this is unlikely. Circuit hidden danger is not possible, some of the big manufacturers have discovered the potential risk factors in the design and recycled through battery As for the mobile phone battery explosion is not heard.
Small knowledge: In general, the Apple A1281 battery protection circuit parts are usually the voltage regulator block, control chip, insurance, and temperature probe. Temperature protection is usually a one-time internal fuse (some 130 ℃ fuse), used to monitor the voltage regulator block work. If the charging and discharging process, and immediately there will be a current temperature protection, the fuse blows, the battery inside the circuit for the off state, and unrecoverable. If you want to fix the only replacement temperature protection, but these shall only be such as temperature protection is difficult to find in the market.
Discharge is to try small current discharge, operation and let the CPU spin down hard stall, screen tone is dark (or close off), and then do not run any programs until the laptop automatically shut down. The emphasis on low current discharge is to prevent the laptop premature detect the battery voltage is low.

Qualcomm Intel tapping "core" war mobile and PC counter attack and defence

Game of the power and performance and counter-attack with offensive and defensive symbiosis mobile and PC

This week is bound to be an extraordinary week. Chip market surging, the story became the focus of media attention around the Intel and Qualcomm. On Monday, Intel join hands Motorola released a smartphone clocked at up to 2GHz; Tuesday, not to be outdone Qualcomm released the S4 Plus MSM8X30 tasting, the portability beautiful earnings, sections from the glorious history of excellent products, mobile phone chip; Wednesday, Intel partners together to discuss the plan for the future of mobile Internet ... at the same time from the message there, Intel CEO Paul Otellini ahead of retreat, the stock market value of the high-pass once beyond Intel attack "core" of a raging battle is to compete with the gun a stab in the back ground.

Qualcomm: epigenetic counteroffensives

In a press conference held on November 20, the high pass conceal his pride is evident. Global vice president of Qualcomm began with five first speech. Are among the best in the sales of the application processor, GPU share, DSP share, 3G/4G/LTE baseband chip, RF chip field, high-pass. Qualcomm business development Shen Jin, vice president of global IT Times "reporter, said high-pass market capitalization of more than Intel, reflect the trend of the development of the industry, the first half of 2012, global smartphone sales over 300 million, a growth rate of 45%, sales compared to the same period of the PC performance by 67%. "

Maybe two years ago, Intel and Qualcomm, or a pair of big brother and little brother. Although developed in the different areas of the chip, but from the body volume of view, the market value of the high-pass is only half of Intel. However, with the Snapdragon chips into more smartphones, tablet PCs, Qualcomm achieve leadership in the field of mobile chips.

Called hero. The rapid development of smart phones and tablet PCs, and also build a platform for high-pass. Shipped 400 million units per year compared to the PC market data, smart phone annual shipments in 2011, has more than PC, will reach 700 million this year, while the tablet PC shipments will reach 100 million units. As the mobile chip boss, Qualcomm greatly benefit from this market.

Intel: pioneer of hesitation

For Intel, is faced with a difficult choice. Intel in PC chip market share of over 80%, it is difficult to shake, but the mobile space is very poor, the first half of this year, the global smart phone chip shipments market share of only 0.2%.

For mobile chips, Intel seems always hesitant and CEO Paul Otellini strategy mistakes are not unrelated. "ISuppli principal analyst Gu Wenjun IT Times" reporter said, as early as six years ago, Intel 600,000,000 dollar price of its communications and application processor sector sold to Marvell Technology, Inc. in the United States, the department is mainly development and sale of processor chips for smart phones, handheld computers and other handheld devices, Intel seems bent to make the PC industry, ignoring the development of mobile chips, Otellini enough for the sensitivity of the mobile market, dragging down the speed of Intel's transition. "

However, the advantages of the Intel technology is still very apparent. IC component distributors Commerce Group's electricity Commerce through the implementation of the core city, ZHU Ji Zhi, vice president, said the current situation, including Qualcomm, ARM architecture-based processors in the configuration lower mobile terminals running very fluently, but as phone upgrade from dual-core to 4-core, 8-core or 16-core, ARM somewhat difficult, "for example, worked hard in the PC area for years Intel X86 still dominate in terms of multi-tasking, 3D graphics processing."

Future game

Power performance: finding the best balance
Present situation plagued Intel X86 architecture processors, power consumption. Shang Jigang, the industry analyst, said that the X86 architecture is the use of low-load power consumption, high fever, X86 chip short board endurance. Qualcomm processor based on ARM architecture, energy consumption in the idle and low load state rarely, from the market point of view, the price of ARM processors should also lower than Intel processors.

However, the the Qualcomm ARM architecture weaknesses are also apparent. Intel's CISC architecture for the design of the chip is relatively complex, a kernel on the X86, with more transistors than the ARM same kernel, more powerful, its features and performance. Same kernel ARM and Intel in terms of performance is difficult competition. In addition, Intel in the market after 10 years of hard work, has gradually improved hardware support; ARM server system manufacturers must do-it-yourself design motherboard, virtually increase the cost of production. The ARM software system is relatively weak, applicable software is hard to find and expensive.

Raj Talluri, senior vice president of product management, Qualcomm mobile computing future mobile chip challenge will focus on low-power, high-efficiency commence, Intel and ARM are learning each other's advantages. Some sources say that Intel plans to redesign the next generation Atom processor, has a lower energy consumption and higher performance. Likewise, ARM also learning the technical capabilities of Intel. The progressive realization of a powerful class of PC, phone and tablet computer is a mutual goal.

Business model: Closed VS open

Intel closed development model used is a magic weapon for its success. Joseph Chu Chi "IT Times" reporter said, process technology, chip manufacturing plant, Qualcomm needs TSMC semiconductor foundry foundry; Intel chip design to the manufacturing sector, the completion of his or her own, has a very good control of the entire chain, reasonable arrangements on the product quality and production processes, less like Qualcomm and MediaTek as out of stock situation.

However, with the development of the mobile market, in the face of a new generation of challenges such as ARM, Intel seems to keep up with the pace. Gu Wenjun said the relatively slow response of the closed business models on the market, "ARM, for example, it does not manufacture its own processor, but to provide a design framework for partners to manufacturing on demand in the mobile Internet market ARM's business model, this business model is very flexible. important also spawned a large number of joint ventures, chip manufacturers, software companies, design aids developers, hardware manufacturers and mobile device manufacturers such as around the ARM to form a huge alliance. "

Gu Wenjun think Intel's advantage is that a strong manufacturing technology, adequate cash flow, should abandon the super this rapid transformation of the mobile Internet, perfect ecosystem, PK and competitors to play by "Union" to own technology, cash, talent The advantage to achieve transformation.

How to Restore the Notebook Battery Discharge Time?

(a) the failure reasons of the battery
The hp HSTNN-DB06 Battery used for a long time, often with charge of electricity, even show the battery has been damaged, specific performance is internal resistance change, in charge at both ends when voltage rise is faster. So easy to charging control line decision for have been filled, capacity and natural decline. Because of battery internal resistance is bigger, discharge voltage decline range, speed, so the system easily mistaken for voltage is not enough, electricity shortage. The discovery of battery work time is short, we should take corresponding measures.
(b) battery refresh program restore the battery discharge time
Brand notebook computer mostly have cell refresh program, using it we can repair to the hp Pavilion DV7 series Battery. For example: notebook computers, with battery is nickel hydrogen (Ni - Mh) battery, due to improper charge and discharge at ordinary times, leading to the battery discharge time more and more short, only less than 5 minutes, if carries notebook computer go out to work, then appears very inconvenience, what method can restore the battery discharge time?
In accordance with the above case, we can use the laptop's official website launched battery refresh program to the battery to refresh, make its restore discharge time, specific methods as follows.
(1) the use of alternating current (ac) to the notebook computer power supply, first of all to the notebook PC's official website to download refresh program.
(2) restart your computer, press F8 key into the boot menu, and select safe DOS mode.
(3) to just downloaded files in directory, perform battery refresh program, read the warning message, according to the requirements insert floppy disk, and then press enter key executive self-extracting operation.
(4) using this floppy disk guide computer, screen appears tooltip.
(5) according to the prompt pulled out ac power supply, and the program will automatically Ni - Mh battery discharge, the discharge is completed, the system will automatically shut off.
(6) with the battery temperature is higher, should not immediately turned on, let the battery cooling after a while, plug in the ac power.
(7) with the floppy disk computer, the file will be run automatically refresh program, and ask the user whether.
(8) at this time, refresh program began to the battery to refresh, its process soon, when back to DOS prompt A: >, said refresh has completed.
(9) off the computer, and to the hp 484170-001 Battery charging, until the indicator light green so far.
(10) above process is repeated three times to get the best effect.
In addition, a lot of lithium battery failure is the battery packs a day to battery core failure, this kind of phenomenon can't avoid. Because each battery battery core properties not be completely consistent, with long some quality after a bit poor start aging, and destroyed the whole (after series of discharge curve. Have interest and ability of readers can try to open the battery pack, the multimeter help, can quickly find damage battery core (abnormal voltage). If the condition allows, according to the corresponding parameters can replace hp HSTNN-LB73 Battery core product.

Biography Windows 8 PC on Ssale Early Poor Sales

SAN FRANCISCO, November 18 morning news, the well-known Windows system expert Paul Seluo Te (Paul Thurrott) Supersite For Windows website this week, said the author, the initial stage of the Windows 8 PC sales lower than Microsoft expected, Microsoft The internal has expressed his disappointment.

According to the sources say, the Windows 8 PC poor sales as PC makers are not the full launch of products using this operating system, just launched the product there is no bright spot in terms of design. The Se Luote that poor sales has a deeper reason behind such confusing Windows 8 itself, this operating system mixed touch interface and standard Windows 7 desktop interface.

In addition, Microsoft also introduced Windows 8 Pro and Windows RT practice is also problematic. Windows 8 Pro can support the Windows software, Windows RT can not. Microsoft is doing is unreasonable.

EndPoint Technologies analyst Roger Kay (Roger Kay) agrees. He pointed out: "The difference between Windows 8 Pro and Windows RT Windows positioning very difficult new touch interface is ideal for high-end market for mobile devices, such as tablet PCs, but Microsoft can not only be successful by virtue of several Tablet PC . "

However, Microsoft has not stated publicly agree with that. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer (Steve Ballmer), said this week in Santa Clara, California to participate in the activities of the Churchill Club, Windows 8 the initial stages of a good sales. Last month Microsoft Build Assembly, Ballmer also said that in the few days after the October 26 release of Windows 8, Microsoft has sold 4 million copies.

However, some other reports show that consumers do not seem to have much interest to upgrade to Windows 8. Users of the new version of Windows in Microsoft's history, the lack of interest is a common phenomenon. But this time, affecting the user to upgrade the obstacles may be even greater, because Windows 8 touch interface, this is not very suitable for business users.

Windows 8 brings innovative cross-border design, HP Envy x2 and Acer Aspire S7, Windows 8 is also impressive. However, if you want to consumers and businesses fully accept this new version of the system, Microsoft also takes more time. Kay pointed out, the stores also take months to fully turned to Windows 8 PC, it is expected that Windows 8 PC comprehensive distribution in the retail channel will have to wait until next January.

On the other hand, sales in good condition Microsoft Surface Tablet PC's. The 32GB version has been out of stock in the release of about a week after.

MAC using the skills of Apple notebook battery optimum user guide

As long as you pay more attention, you can lengthen battery life, that is exhausted and needs time before charging to the Asus G1S Battery. In addition, compliance with the message of these guidelines, the overall effect will make you use the laptop battery and long-term optimization.
When your battery has exhausted (meaning the entire battery is exhausted, but not limited to the use), will significantly shorten your battery time available (such as reduced by over four hours to less than ten minutes) . Now sold by Apple Computer, is designed in compliance with Apple's recommendations under the premise, even if charged and discharged 300 times, can still retain more than 80% of the original power reserve force. If your battery usage time is too short, you can choose to buy a new Asus A32-F82 Battery.
Should be noted that, it is best to use your laptop in the most suitable temperature. In the summer, can not remember the notebook lock in the car. Apple laptop by -25 ° C (-13 ° F) to 45 ° C (113 ° F) temperature saved, but when used should be 10 ° C (50 ° F) to 35 ° C (95 ° F ) temperature range, and the optimal use of the air temperature is 22 ° C.
When you just buy a notebook:
· Adequacy of your battery, and attention to download the latest system software update software. Apple laptop battery significantly improved system update will be released sometimes.
· Your laptop needs to be frequently used, and mixed charge and out of the power usage. Apple does not recommend that your laptop will always be inserted into the charger. Ideal usage scenario is out of power on trains using a laptop, then in the office for this charge.
· If you are at home or office desktop without frequent use of laptops, it is recommended that you thoroughly exhausted and thoroughly adequate battery should be every month, this thorough battery exhausted and sufficient power to carry out at least once. You can add a prompt message in iCal. (According to predictability message, this prompted the expected advance features in Mac OS X v10.5 "leopard" in the system, the computer may automatically remind you.)
Optimal settings
By various system settings to improve and optimize the use of your Asus N61Jv Battery:
· System Settings in the "Energy Saver" settings "battery" setting "optimize" settings can be selected longer battery life, and the selected sleep and other settings. "Sleep" setting the computer to sleep when it is not active time "and the display surface of the water, when the computer is inactive time" parameter is set lower, and selected "if possible Put the hard disk sleep "option. Options can be selected to use this power to lower the brightness of the built-in display and automatically reduce the brightness of the display, "two options" before the display goes to sleep.
· Display brightness: To further increased Asus UL20A Battery life, reduce the brightness of the display. Macintosh notebook computer on the market now can press F1 (darker) and F2 (brighter) button at any time to adjust. A case on the plane: If the aircraft has been lights out, when you watch a DVD, you can choose to lower your screen brightness.
· AirPort wireless network: Even if you do not use AirPort to connect to a network, or even if you do not use it to find a wireless network, an open AirPort wireless network system will consume battery power. You can choose to turn it off.
· Bluetooth wireless capabilities and other network interface: You can also turn off the Bluetooth function, as well as such do not need to use the Ethernet network interface. They may take power.
· Audio: do not need to listen to music or other video and audio content, you can press F3 to set the computer to muted.
· Applications and accessories: Close the application do not need to use the equipment and disconnect is not in use. If your computer has a CD-ROM, do not use it, you can remove it.
• caution the application: avoid consumption programs, such as the number of Microsoft applications. TextEdit program that comes with such a system you can use to write a text. In addition, you can choose to close the window.

Five little point should pay attention to when you use the laptop batteries



When we use a notebook, in the notebook battery, should pay attention to what?

1, want to let the Asus K72J Battery  longevity, must have a good beginning, new notebook in the first powered battery general with 3% of electricity, at first not use external power supply, more than the battery electric exhausted until shutdown, and then use external power charge. To make the battery again after electricity charge, charging time must be in 14 hours, again and again to do three times, in order to fully activate cell, such ability for future use and lay the good foundation.

2, notebook computers use the Asus A32-K52 Battery life is a charge and discharge frequency to measure. There is no necessary circumstances do not enable battery, if long time does not use batteries, charging to 50% again battery in a cool place save. If you enable battery, give electric after using recharge, don't in the batteries are still useless over again when on ac power. When the battery power appears fully filled with the time, should disconnect the ac input, because the overcharge will make a battery overheat, shorten the service life of the battery.

3, generally speaking, now notebook computer has intelligent battery protection function, the battery will not for ordinary operation and damage, but still may for life to or other special reasons and damage. For nimh or nickel cadmium battery, have memory effect, if use undeserved, Asus A32-F82 Battery discharge time will be more and more short and even impossible to charge.

4, lithium ion Asus A42-A6 Battery first with constant current way fast charging, in voltage reaches a certain value with constant pressure way after slow charge. Usually the notebook computer is not strict constant current charging jian control device. System load when charging current is small, and is big, the current by the AC power adapter power margin decision. Obviously, the system charge the battery and other parts, such as CUP, hard disk, LCD, etc for energy.

5, discharge is to small current discharge, the operation is let CUP speed down, hard disk stall, the screen adjustment most dark (or close off), then don't run any program, until the notebook computer automatic shutdown. The emphasis on small current discharge is to prevent the notebook computer early detect the Asus A32-N61 Battery voltage shortage.
