There are no stupid questions... just an awful lot of inquisitive idiots.

Also, "Never argue with a stupid person. They'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."

Heat in Microprocessor:

IF you treat each transistor as a capcitor, then
energy=(1/2)*C*V^2
and power=(energy/time)=energy*frequecy as reciprocal of time is frequency.

So P=(1/2)*C*V^2*frequency

So "Higher frequency --> higher power --> more heat"

  DVD Discs:

* The "Made in Japan" ones have a vertical UPC bar, while the made in Taiwan ones have a horizonal UPC.
* The "Made in Japan" ones have a logo saying "1x - 8x Compatible", while the made in Taiwan are only 1 - 4x
* Also the Japan ones are kinda dull, white, matte surface, while the Taiwan ones are more shiny.   ¶ 6:44 AM

 

Mobile phone makers are expected to sell 670 million handsets to distributors this year, up from around 520 million units in 2003.

This is the result of booming demand from first-time mobile phone buyers in China, Russia, Brazil and India, while at the same time consumers in mature markets replace old handsets with new ones featuring color screens and cameras.

The 30 percent growth rate in 2004, which has brought back memories of the 1990s when unit sales rose 50 percent or more every year, will slow to 8 percent to 726 million units in 2005 as replacement sales are already slowing down, Mawston said.

With regard to notebook displays, some of the above are incorrect, especially with the use of "usually" or "sometimes" (resolutions can be misquoted, but they are by nature definitions, and therefore do not carry any ambiguity). Below is a list of the more common LCD display native resolutions and corresponding aspect ratios, in increasing vertical resolution size:

• XGA : 1024x768. 4:3
• WXGA: 1280x800, 16:10
• WXGA+: 1440x900, 16:10
• SXGA: 1280x1024, 5:4
• SXGA+: 1400x1050. 4:3
• WSXGA+: 1680x1050. 16:10
• UXGA: 1600x1200, 4:3
• WUXGA: 1920x1200, 16:10

Note that the leading W in the acronym translates to "widescreen", which should be apparent by the aspect ratio listed.  ¶ 10:50 PM

  What is Dreaming?
Loose disconnected thinking with gaps filled with imginations while asleep..
so 'dream' is mostly 'nonsense'.

Moral of the story er. definition: stop dreaming! LOL
