7 Reason why Tablet PC will replace Laptop

Nowadays, Laptops seemed to be a mandatory gadget for working people. It successfully replaces desktop PC that is used to be excellent in anyways. Common reason, people need stuff that is easier to access, therefore they chooses laptops which is more portable.

But now, there’s a new technology that is more ‘superior’ to laptop that is more portable and sets new trend to the society. The PC Tablet, a device that is sized not larger than a box, similar to the laptop LCD that is removed. One of the advantage is that it’s more compact and the mobility is better than laptop.

Here are the 7 reason that why should we replace our laptop with Tablet PC:

1. Power Consumption

People that use laptop often complain about their battery running out fast, and some needs to be charge to be used. That pisses off many people, it’s frustrating.

Tablet PC has hardware that is ‘lighter’ than laptops, which mean the battery last longer than laptop. You only need to charge once for a whole day usage, different from laptop that only last 2-4 hours each time we charge. This is what made consumers prefer Tablet PC rather than Laptop.

2. Virus

Laptops or notebook operate under a OS (Operating System). Lets say windows for instance, there’s thousand of virus,malware,worm,etc that can disrupt the laptop usage. With this instability caused by the virus, this will annoys the person operating the laptop, thus this interrupt our work.

3. Mobility

People tends to prefer a more portable device that is easy to carry anywhere. Laptops have sizes range from 11-21 inch. It’s obviously different from the 7-10 inch tablet PC. Also the weight of laptop caused of the virtual keyboard and hardware stuff is more or less  4-12 pounds while tablet PC is under 5 pounds.

4. Cost Saving

In the market, Tablet PC price is highly variable, so does laptop. However, for comparison, the medium spec laptop price is almost equal to a highly tech Tablet PC, with such consideration people will prefer Tablet PC

5. Connectivity

About the connection, laptop relies on Wi-Fi and External Modem. But for Tablet PC, this device can connect through 3G,HSDPA,GPRS,etc with a more diverse connectivity, it certainly makes the tablet PC more preferable.

6. Application

The Operating System in Tablet PC is an open source OS, which mean people can develop their on programs/ app that can be used in the tablet, and it’s free. Laptop certainly has more limited application that tablet PC

7. User Friendly

Tablet PC is made to its simplest form, with recognizable design it offer consumer the ease on using such a gadget especially people who are new to such gadget.

You've probably seen a show that features super heroes with various colored tight suits. No not Superman, also his suite is kinda tight... No not Tarzan of course, where did that come from anyway. So then, these 5 colored heroes are called Super Sentai. Japan's number 1 hero squad, and for those of you who are currently thinking "Hey, isn't that the Power Rangers?" I will gladly underline my statement that Super Sentai IS NOT the Power Rangers. Although technically they are, but they are indeed very different from one another.

Let's begin with the day these heroes were born. The series was started by the same man who actually created the Kamen Rider, Mr. Shotaro Ishinomori. He created the first ever Super Sentai series called Himitsu Sentai Goranger. It features the long running battle between the Goranger squad against the evil forces from outer space. The Goranger is again, a 5 colored heroes squad consists of AkaRanger (Red), AoRanger (Blue), MidoRanger (Green), KiRanger (Yellow), and finally Momoranger (Pink).

For the next years, the Super Sentai franchise have expanded their ideas to create the most unique heroes the world have ever seen. After the Goranger, Toei releases Dengeki Kitai JAKQ which somehow based on trump cards and cyborg. The Goranger was a success, it runs for about more than 55 episodes. But sadly, JAKQ didn't. JAKQ is considered as a failure although they feature a very unique theme, and one of the most iconic senshi (ranger), Big One.

Not giving up with JAKQ they made another series called Battle Fever J. Now, Super Sentai is not just known for their suites, but also their mechas. And Battle Fever J is the first sentai that features a giant robot as their combat arsenal. After that they releases many other sentai. This era is called the Showa Era, and here are the list of the series:

- Himitsu Sentai Goranger

- JAKQ Dengekitai

- Battle Fever J

- Denshi Sentai Denjiman

- Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan

- Dai Sentai Goggle-V

- Kagaku Sentai Dynaman

- Choudenshi Bioman

- Dengeki Sentai Changeman

- Chousinshei Flashman

- Hikari Sentai Maskman

- Choujuu Sentai Liveman

There are some interesting highlights across the Showa Era. Like Sun Vulcan for example, Sun Vulcan is the first sentai series that features 3 colored heroes, red, blue, and yellow, and the series they are named VulEagle, VulShark, and VulPhanter respectively. And also Liveman, according to history Liveman is the first sentai series that features the first ever combining robots like we all know today, in the series the robot is called Super Live Robo, which features 5 different robots combined into 1 humanoid giant robot.

The next era is called the Heisei Era. But according to Tokusatsu Enthusiasts, the Heisei era after the Showa Era is called the First Heisei Era. What's interesting from this era is theme they are using for the sentai. The First Heisei Era runs from 1990 to 2000. There are various theme that are used in this era. Kyoryuu Sentai Zyuranger was based on dinosaurs, which then they are adapted by Saban's Company from America into the Power Rangers. Chojin Sentai Jetman was based on birds, and I must say, Jetman's suite is very cool, even for now, despite it was made in 1991.

And there's also Gosei Sentai Dairanger which is based on mythical beast. Not just that, Dairanger also features Chinese Kung Fu fighting style which somehow seems inappropriate for children, not just because it was quite bloody, but because it was also pure awesomeness that little children couldn't handle. Denji Sentai Megaranger is largely influenced by the rise of technology. They are based on RPG Video Games, and also electronic appliances like PC, handphone, TV, etc. The sixth ranger in the series, MegaSilver, is the first senshi that uses phone device to transform which later is a common device in the next series.

There are also 2 series in this era that actually shared the same theme and one is being the parody of the other. Kousoku Sentai Turboranger is the first sentai series that is based on cars, later in 1995 Gekisou Sentai Carranger is released as a comedic type of sentai, with cars as their theme too, serving as the parody for the Turboranger. This era also held the darkest Super Sentai series of all time, Mirai Sentai Timeranger, which was based on time (title says it all). Not sure why though, because I personally haven't watch any of their episode. Here are the list of all the series in The First Heisei Era (XX):

- Kousoku Sentai Turboranger

- Chikyu Sentai Fiveman

- Chojin Sentai Jetman

- Kyoryuu Sentai Zyuranger

- Gosei Sentai Dairanger

-Ninja Sentai Kakuranger

-Choriki Sentai Ohranger

-Gekisou Sentai Carranger

- Denji Sentai Megaranger

- Seijuu Sentai Gingaman

- Kyuukyuu Sentai GoGo-V

- Mirai Sentai Timeranger

From the year 2000 until today, is known as The Second Heisei Era. As technology develops the CGI for the series become better and also the mecha design are becoming more dynamic. The transforming devices in this era is mostly based on phones, Gaoranger, Magiranger, Boukenger, Go-Onger, Shinkenger, and Gokaiger use phone like devices to transform. This era also features old themes like Ninpuu Sentai Hurricanger which uses ninja theme, same as Ninja Sentai Kakuranger. Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger uses dinosaur theme, same as Kyoryuu Sentai Zyuranger. And also Engine Sentai Go-Onger, which uses car theme, same as Kousoku Sentai Turboranger and Gekisou Sentai Carranger.

Although there are repetition of themes in this era but they also came up with new themes like magic, adventure, samurai, pirates, and angels. One of my favorite in this era is Mahou Sentai Magiranger. Funny thing is, I've never watch any episode of Magiranger before but I really like their costume. And their Power Ranger adaptation is not bad either, so 1-1 for USA and Japan.

Since there is always a series of Super Sentai in every generation of children, Toei try to keeping their old fans which is now a teenager or adult, by making a very catchy but great opening song. The opening song for Engine Sentai Go-Onger and Samurai Sentai Shinkenger tops off the Oricon Chart for 2008 and 2009 respectively. And they also held a concert, featuring the artists that sang Super Sentai song, in 2006 this concert is held, celebrating the 30 years of Super Sentai, alongside with the GoGo Sentai Boukenger. Here is the list to the Second Era series:

- Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger

- Ninpuu Sentai Hurricanger

- Bakuryu Sentai Abaranger

- Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger

- Mahou Sentai Magiranger

- GoGo Sentai Boukenger

- Jyuuken Sentai Gekiranger

- Engine Sentai Go-Onger

- Samurai Sentai Shinkenger

- Tensou Sentai Goseiger

And today, 2011, Super Sentai is in their 35th year, and they celebrate it with a very special series, Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. The Gokaiger is based on pirates. What they basically do is collecting ultimate powers from the previous 35 Super Sentai teams to destroy the Zangyack Empire. Techincally pirates are bad, but here they are heroes, and somehow legends. Gokaiger can transform into any of the previous super sentai by using the ranger key. You're not too late for following this series, so watch it now, rather than listening to my explanation.

So I think that is all for a brief explanation of Super Sentai, and not Power Rangers. What made this heroes legendary is that they are in everyone's heart and memory. Like I said before, there's always a Sentai in every generation. Its not something you should be ashamed of, the original one is better, this is one of the world's greatest show anyway, so its not too late to watch it.

Today we enter modern era, where everything is easier in anyway, carrying books with a lot of pages is somehow makes our live difficult, it’s the time we use E-Book! , using Amazon newest E-Book Reader the ‘Kindle 3 E-book Reader’ we carry a thousand of book in only a tablet that easy to carry.

Have you heard things started by “i” letter and known as common gadgets that spread across the whole world? Those mostly are several kinds of portable and non-portable things. I’m actually using some of those products. Specified products with “fruit” brand name. The frequently name called as “apple”.

Most of us, know well who invented apple’s name. Yes, Steve Job was the vision founder, the memorable person ever in the world. Unfortunately, we all knew the reality has informed that he passed away on October 5, 2011 at the age of 56 from his pancreatic cancer. He wasn’t yet doing much as chairman of the board in apple, after he decided to be stepping down from his main role as CEO, in August 2011 this year.

Steve Job is well sometimes referred as the father of personal computing. He was the brain of Apple Inc who create those “i” products, such as iPod, iMac, iPhone, and iPad. It began in 1972, when two Steve named persons met. Steve Job and Steve Wozniak. They both have the same enthusiasm in electronics but differently way. Wozniak is a self-taught engineer and have a unique hobby of electronics, while Job is enthusiast in the marketing part of selling electronics.

Job was young when he started working with Wozniak, and Wozniak also was dropped out from his college. At that time Job was hired for summer internship at Hewlett Packard. Wozniak invited Jobs to join the “Homebrew Computer Club”. Thus, they share their knowledge and help people by their self-made computer. Wozniak was enjoying create electronic things for fun but then Job convinced Wozniak to build and market their personal computing They created design of the Apple product in Job’s bedroom and also create the prototype in Job’s garage.

They both originally planned to design and produce their product to be sold to the members of Homebrew Computer Club.  As an employee of HP, Wozniak couldn’t distribute his own product. He needed to get legality from HP to sell his electronic device product. But then they decided to sell their inventions, got the money, and started their own company. In the last they named it as Apple Computer Company.

Early in 1976, Jobs and Wozniak hire Ronald Wayne and share 10% of the company. A computer store called “Byte Shop” order 50 computers of Apple products. It was their first offers. Next year later, they redesigned their computers and redeveloped the Apple II. That year, Apple hired Michael Scott as Apple's first CEO.

Lisa Nicole, the daughter of Job was born and Job designed a special product dedicated to his daughter. Apple goes public in 1980 and all of sudden makes 40 employees of Apple into instant millionaires, because the Apple is released and sold out with various configurations. Apple released 40 new software programs and went to a great development. They opened an office in Europe. By December that year, that company became the first computer company of $1 billion in annual sales.  The project is also done. The Lisa Computer is declared ready for market. Job take his daughter’s name to be named in his company new brand product.

The Apple Lisa product is marketed in 1983. This year is the hectic year ever for that company. Then, Apple created Macintosh all-in-one desktop Computer.  The features are never seen icons before.

In 1987, Apple celebrates its 10th Anniversary and Mac SE and Mac II are released. 7years later, Steve releases its first Power Macintosh Desktop Computer, and Job name it as well as the Powerbook 500 Series.  Apple starts licensing the MacOS. Apple also announces and informs the creation of Pippin/ What’s a pippin? It’s a home multimedia system for gaming, learning and surfing the Internet.

When apple celebrates its 20th birthday. A news that Apple and Microsoft are being into a partnership. They both agree to cooperate on several sales and technology fronts. Then apple release Mac OS7.6 and MacOS 8.0 that year. Job states that Apple will sell computers directly to users over the Internet.  Apple’s online Apple store becomes an immediate success in one week.

In 2001, Apple releases iMac and later followed by iPod. Continued by iPod mini or known as well as iPod nano in 2005. Job invents again and again. He created Macbook Pro in 2006 and later reveals the new iPhone for the next year. In 2010, Apple release iPad, the newest invention of iPhone but in a big size.

Then Steve Job quit his position as the leader of apple after inventing iPad 2 and finally peacefully he died in 2011.

                  Have you ever noticed the gravel around railways? I don’t. Well for some people who noticed you might think that there’s no particular reason that gravels are around the railways.. but indeed there’s something behind the gravels around the railways. Gravels usually spread all around the railway, it’s actually crucial to support the existence of the railway which stood on it.

The function of the gravels is actually critical, the gravels around the railway bear the weight of the railway, and with the layer of gravel the rail can be much more stable, so it will make trains runs more smoothly.  Gravel also acts a shock absorber, when a train is on the railway, a massive vibration occur, this is when the gravel works (absorb vibration), it reduced the shock effect towards the rail that make the rail used for a long time.

The next function is to hold and ensures the flow of water when it’s rain. The purpose is to prevent the erosion of soil around the railway, where if it happens it will cause serious accident of train crash. And lastly, gravel also serves to inhibit the growth of grass around the rails. The growth of grass around the rails can be directly or indirectly lead to tilling the soil underneath. This of course can be dangerous because if the ground beneath the rails is not stable it will be dangerous for train to pass. 

There are also railways without gravel around, as we see in some places, there are certain position where under the railway there are no gravels. Such railway is either on the bridge or highway, there’s no single gravel exist.. why is this so? This happens because all of the function of the gravel that I mention before is replaced by other mechanism.

At the railway bridge, the bridge has been specially designed to withstand the vibrations that will occur when the train passed. So does the rail found on the highway, road asphalt has replaced the role of gravel. So at these places, gravel are no longer needed to be put under the railway.

So that’s all about gravel! Didn’t expect to have that many functions, funny when small things support the big things ha-ha. It’s fun right learning fun facts! :))

Hey guys, we're back with another post! Well, I decided to tell you some of my personal life. I mean, not that 'personal', more like sharing stuff that I'm currently doing now. These 2-days of holiday are kinda boring, to me. I have nothing to do, except playing my mac, or probably downloading some apps. Oh yeah, I sort of hacked my iPod (people nowadays called it 'jailbreaking'), and I heard that it's legal in United States. They somehow stated that it doesn't violate the copyright, since it's non-profitable. Instead of waiting for a long time to search for free applications, I finally decided to jailbreak my own iTouch. I know it's kinda late, but I didn't regret a single thing of what I have already done. I can enjoy paid apps for free. For those who would like to jailbreak their apple products, you can search the tutorial in YouTube. It's really easy, believe me.

Anyway, I'm glad that I already finished all of my homeworks. But the sad thing is, I have to think about what am I going to do for the rest of the day. I can't just sit here all day long, sitting in front of my macbook. It's boring. I think I decided to play with my macbook in the morning, then continue with practicing another dance choreography (wish me luck fellas), and the rest, maybe playing the piano, or watch some NCIS episodes on Fox. It's a great TV show, and I love Ziva and Tony so bad (gah, I wish I can be as cool as those guys). Somehow, I looked like a girl who doesn't have any 'important' thing to do. To be honest, I'm so lazy on studying these days. Don't try this at home.

What else? I kinda figured out that most of my writings here aren't important at all. But what can I do? This is my story, and I just wanna share it to you guys. Writing a post is a fun thing to do. Well, if you wanna look for more personal stories of mine, just go directly to this link : nxvlmneotame.tumblr.com, and you'll find tons of great stuffs right there, check it out. Oh yeah, I almost forgot that it's 7 days left to the most amazing concert in the world, C.N.BLUE! Yes, I'm a fan, huge fan. I'm going to watch it with one of my friend, who's also the author of this blog, Lunnie (yeah I sort of called her with that particular name, but actually her name is Luna. Sorry gurl), and also with my ex-bf. I hope it won't be that awkward on the d-day.
