blog Q

As has been stated, there is too much info about developing tech to keep up with. Half of the new stuff we read about we will never buy, and the most advancement seems to take place with trivial electronics, that if you are a person who has to have to newest most bad-ass phone, then you care, else if all you want your phone to do is take and make calls, then why bother keeping up with the newest multi-point touch screen phones which will break if you look at them wrong. Another issue is computers. Now you can go out and buy a 3 Ghz processor for your computer, which because it's twice the number of a 1.5 Ghz processor, and only costs three times as much, it must be a whole lot faster right? Wrong! The only difference is pipe size, meaning how much data you put into the processor at one time. For single tasks, the processors will probably perform identically, but if you want to calculate Pi, download massive amounts of music, and play video games at once, the bigger might be better, but marginally so. Most new products are so enveloped in double speak, that it's hard to decipher what is bull and what isn't. You just about need a degree in computer engineering to figure out what products are worth buying and will perform up to their advertised potential.
