iOS 8.2 will be released in advance of Apple Watch: or in March

February 4, 2015 morning news, according to foreign media BGR sources said, as iOS 8 major update of iOS 8.2 will be released in March, rather than Apple Watch listed the same period, the latter of information about Apple's CEO has been in the earnings conference made it clear that will be available in April.

Currently iOS 8.2 has pushed the fifth beta to developers, it can be said the biggest highlight for iOS 8.2 will support Apple Watch is a smart watch. Previously Apple Watch has relevant information in the settings outflow, but also watch a lot of screenshots exposure companion application. We can see from the screenshot, Apple Watch can provide message notification, fitness data logging functions.

Apple launched the Supply Chain war three go solve Samsung

Introduction: "In the long run, millet threat to Apple's even more than the Samsung threat to Apple." Stratechery.com analyst at consulting firm of Ben Thompson said. Apple does best thing to do is not just the best product but a smoke bomb, the war between the closed and open IOS and Android, and Apple's entire android enemy camp, which is the mobile phone manufacturers worldwide. Millet mimic Apple than Apple, Samsung has become the number one enemy is fortunate, in order to battle the stars of the sea must be crossed rivers Apple, and Apple deal with Samsung and Android camp approach may be used in the next step will be their millet body.
   
According to the Forbes website reported, frankly, Steve Jobs (Steve Jobs) does not like Android or Samsung smartphone design team, he has said that Apple will use all resources, with Android and Samsung to fight a "thermonuclear war." Apple under the leadership of Tim Cook (Tim Cook) did not continue to Jobs that naked threat, but on a long-term strategy, not only to curb the Samsung, but also to curb the influence of Android.
     Just as the United States through patience, advocacy and technical advantage to win the Cold War, as Cook through strategy, repression and strategies to curb the Android Apple's economic threat.

Strategy: quickly enter the 64 era
   
When Steve Jobs died, Samsung situation is very good. Galaxy S2 proved itself in the market, Galaxy Tab series of products have been recognized, Galaxy Note tablet has opened up the mobile phone market. Three years later, Samsung smart phone business revenue and profit began to decline, down more than 64%. Meanwhile, Apple's first-quarter results will hit a record high US corporate history. Apple's advantage this year will continue to expand.
   
Apple and Android Cook suppress a move is that by making the smartphone iPhone 5S into the 64-bit computing era. When Apple announced the iPhone 5S, yet no one Android smartphone manufacturers in the near future plans to release a 64 phone. Many Android mobile phone manufacturers and component suppliers are forced to fight, promised to launch 64 products.
   
They have no choice but to fight. Android's success depends on more than the opponent faster, better and more powerful commitment. If the iPhone into 64 era, Android must also enter the 64 era.
   
Android camp rush to fight the influence still exists. Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 810 is Android march 64 era, "leader", but production problems forced the mobile phone manufacturers to product release postponed to the third quarter of this year, or take the risk of selecting an alternative compatibility issues.
   
Repression: control and monopolize the best component suppliers
   
Through prudent financial management, Apple in terms of increased investment components. Several years in advance procurement of components, monopoly power supply, has been used to reduce component costs by Apple, while limiting the competitors using the latest technology.
   
An Apple-controlled components latest fingerprint sensor. Former Motorola CEO Dennis Woodside (Dennis Woodside) has revealed that the original plan to configure Motorola fingerprint sensor for Nexus 6, but Apple's acquisition of the best fingerprint sensor supplier, Nexus 6 therefore abandoned the fingerprint sensor.
   
Apple is not the only fingerprint sensor control. Apple has also invested heavily in the acquisition of sapphire glass supplier, effective control of the supply of DRAM memory chips, touch screen, or even book in advance cargo aircraft, forcing competitors using slower land, by sea.

Manufacturers can not compete with Apple to get the best components, because a few years ago when in charge of Apple's Cook Book operate these components. After Cook as CEO, Apple will continue to supply chain management strategy before there will be any suspense it?
   
Apple has the best components in the leading position in many areas of technology, and more importantly, these advantages and develop the best smartphone capabilities, so that Apple can mass production and sales of mobile phones. All indications are that this week, Apple's last quarter smartphone sales over Samsung, Samsung sold a lot of low-end feature phones and smartphones, but Apple did these product lines. Users really like the iPhone 6 series of mobile phones, Apple make sure to meet the needs of all users.
   
Strategy: Apple to Samsung technology transfer chain
   
Samsung Semiconductor With its strength has always been Apple's loyal followers, every step of the advantages of android camp has become a leader. Apple "to Samsung" and will shift the supply chain to China Taiwan and mainland China, especially in the core SOC delivery TSMC, Samsung further suppress profitability, Samsung smartphone market in high-end nightmare began.
   
Apple's action brought huge butterfly effect, making the smart phone industry chain, China Taiwan and the mainland's rapid improvement, to support the outbreak of Chinese mobile phone today. Samsung's supply chain advantage is so weakened, and its advantages in hardware such as display, processor, many manufacturers have gradually become weaker competition. Left Apple, Samsung, became lackluster in product innovation, seems to have lost direction. Especially in the OPPO, millet rise of these emerging brands in the low-end market, lack of innovation, Samsung is more obvious disadvantage.

Apple successfully develop better products, while reducing Android vendor selection, so the development of the smart phone industry is more suitable for apples rather than Android. Meanwhile, Apple continues to get more profits through high-end market, the use of these funds to prevent the emergence of competitors.
   
Sony has given up on the high-end smart phone market to compete with Apple, but bet on mid-priced high-profile smartphones, this policy affects the profitability of Xperia smartphones. Samsung's profit in 2014 showed that the high-end smart phone market share in the loss of dependence on low-end products is on the rise.
   
The large single Apple A9 processor and a large single Apple's watches S1 SOC by Samsung semiconductor foundry likely to curb Taiwan IC industry, temporarily delaying the TSMC 10-nanometer process technology upgrade program to allow sufficient time for apples rolling Google camp, IOS as the main form of three-dimensional things to contend Android ecosystem ecology.

Intel plans to promote the "completely without cable PC" The pace of development

Distance allow various cables to connect a personal computer peripherals among targets disappear, Intel only one step away. The company on Thursday said its new office computer chips designed for a number of built-in feature that allows the cable useless.

The fifth-generation Core vPro processors compared to the fourth generation provides a more robust performance, longer battery life and better graphics performance. In addition, the chip provides two new features designed to help cable-free workplace goals. One of Intel's Wireless Display technology, using this technology, users do not need to monitor the meeting room when the first cable to connect various presentations. Another is the wireless docking station, users can take advantage of this feature notebook with a larger display, keyboard, and mouse attached.

Intel, the leading desktop and notebook chip maker, is planning to launch next year, there is no cable connected PC. This is the hope that people long, but progress has been slow. This year, with the short-range wireless charging and WiGig fast wireless connectivity technology development, PC cable-free life is getting closer and closer to us.

More and more users to use their personal devices handling the transaction, Intel hopes the new chips to keep up the trend. The more consumer-grade chips,, Core vPro provides a more robust security performance, enabling remote access to corporate IT departments for computer processing of the transaction, even when the device is turned off, the technician can perform maintenance at any location or upgrade.

Intel also hopes the new cable-free feature can enhance the user demand for PC's, as more and more consumers are using smart phones and tablet PCs to meet their everyday computing required. PC market decline has been more than two years to ease in 2014, which also helps boost Intel's earnings and share price.

In addition to commercial grade chip Core vPro, consumer-oriented desktop system and the fifth-generation high-end notebook and Core i series chips for notebook and tablet PCs Core M chips have begun shipping. All of the above three kinds of series of chips are used in the new 14-nanometer process technology. Core i series also offers called "WiDi" wireless display feature, but on the basis of vPro series also provides a more robust security performance.

2015 Japan and South Korea Taiwan's Lu plant operating trends different tune LED output estimated annual increase of 14%

Taiwan's optoelectronics Association (PIDA) estimated today (2015) in industrial output value of Taiwan's LED components up to 14% annual growth, margin expansion of the previous year, mainly due to the two leading factory listed companies Epistar, Everlight start acquisitions and expansion, increase in output growth; although output ranked first in the world, but the global influence of Taiwan's LED industry is not high, and shall prevent land plant catching.

PIDA said that this year the output value of Taiwan's LED components will sit tight global top spot in Epistar positive integer and the next have the opportunity to acquisitions of foreign companies, plus billion light input and build a new plant expansion, prompting Taiwan in the international visibility significantly upgrade.

Although the value of retaining the championship, but the Taiwan LED industry in the global lighting market influence is still high, the lighting market still international companies or regions dominated by lighting manufacturers place, even in the past few rival phone with TV backlit areas are also quite a number of competitors, such as Saman, the country star, etc., especially lighting applications market is more affected by land plant price competition challenges.

LED plant is expected this year will eliminate ongoing and integration, and Taiwan should seize the opportunity to plant roots in niche markets, such as Japan plant Renesas (Renesas) to exit the red market, Taiwan fab homeopathic replace the supply gap, also contributed to the downstream customers turned to Taiwan plant procurement, including Everlight, Ding yuan were to benefit the day after factory orders to exit pocket.

PIDA said Japan plant this year, the exchange rate will continue to face interference, manufacturers of yen-denominated products is expected to increase due to the relative price competitiveness has to inject, but parts procurement will also cause higher costs due to the exchange, so the last trading day plant different tone trend, pre estimated value of this year's day of the LED elements small increase of 5%; South Korea in monitors, mobile phones and other brand factory terminal protection under the sea, this year there will be a slight growth of 2%.

Mainland China is the most dazzling growth rate, driven power LED lighting applications under development in the fast-growing, with LED independent supply chain gradually forming, contains three optical, Linsen, Guoxing, Jufei recent years has grown 40 percent jump , the estimated value of annual growth of 25% this year.

Maser from artificial molecules emitted microwaves bundled

Maser are the little-known sisters of lasers. They emit no concentration of light, but coherent microwave radiation. Still lags behind the development of the measles of lasers for decades. But now succeeded American physicists to develop a new type of grain from tiny quantum dots. As they report in the journal "Science", based on the amplification of microwave tunneling processes of individual electrons. Such masers could be used in the future for the control of quantum bits, the basic units of quantum computers.
"Our Maser is pumped through the tunneling of single electrons," says Jason Petta, of Princeton University, the basic principle of their small prototype. To use this quantum mechanical phenomenon, Petta sat with his colleagues two tiny quantum dots from the semiconductor indium arsenide on a substrate and contacted them via a plurality of electrodes made of gold and titanium. This module coupled to a resonator in which the microwaves at a fixed frequency could be increased.
Researchers now stored a voltage at their Maser, tunnelten single electrons through the quantum dots, which are also referred to as artificial molecules. In this case, the quantum dots were generated photons, which contributed to an enhancement of microwaves in the resonator. Test runs showed that a 1000-fold enhancement was achieved at the frequency of 7880.6 MHz with this structure. A big advantage over previous measles that were pumped with light pulses from a laser, is the purely electric mode.
According Petta the emitted wavelength such semiconductor maser can be adjusted over a wide frequency range between giga- and terahertz. This only would the composition and structure of the quantum dots used to be adjusted. Many applications for Maser does not yet exist. Yet Petta can imagine that coherent microwave radiation for the control of quantum computers are suitable. "Our findings are an important advance in order to generate an entanglement between two qubits about an inch apart," said Petta. The quantum mechanical entanglement of these basic units of quantum computers is the basis to solve complex computational tasks in parallel and thus more efficient than traditional processors.
