Fast, faster, 4G. In addition to first cell phones like the HTC Evo 4G, is now also the first notebook manufacturers to bring laptops with the new standards for next generation mobile communications. In the U.S. there is already support providers, the 4G standards. When the trend is also to Germany?
In the United States is currently fighting two different standards for supremacy in the new high speed data communications. The provider relies on the Sprint Clearwire WiMAX technology and notes that will soon be available for more than 30 different computers and laptops on the market that will support 4G standard. Sun also recently announced Lenovo Business Notebooks in which both the current UMTS standard, as well as support in the form of WiMax 4G.
The competing providers AT & T and Verizon, however contact with Long Term Evolution (LTE) to a different standard. Qualcomm announced in this relation that the latest modem chipsets from Qualcomm will be compatible with LTE. Qualcomm modem the previous generation are used among others by Acer, HP, Dell and Lenovo. Through this deal, almost all the major manufacturers continue to be supplied with 4G-compatible modems. The odds are good that the 4G-wave will soon also start to leap across the pond.
So far, the development of hooks a little bit, because both technologies compete with each other and the lack of a single 4G standard. The situation is thus similar to the introduction of the VHS standard for video cassettes or Blu-ray. Customers must opt for a standard and thus commit themselves to a technology, because: the systems are not compatible. The market in Germany may be provided glad that this fight may be held earlier in the U.S.. Currently, there is the 4G standard by Sprint in 27 cities. The proliferation of LTE, however still hangs behind a little.

Also for the MacBook Pros with the available updates are expected in January Core i3, i5 and i7 processors. NVIDIA Optimus platform could here also provide the expected MacBook Akkuaudauer. Rumors here to complain, but licensing problems with the integrated use of NVIDIA controllers that stood in the way of a recent implementation.
If you do remember to memory Smultron, a code editor completely free to appear for Mac OS X makes and considerable time. With the arrival of Snow Leopard the programmer responsible for the project, Peter Borg, abandoned its development stating:
I reached a point where I do not have time to invest in applications that are worth it, so I decided not to launch more new versions in the future.
A pity, because it was one of the most used editors and let us with a beta somewhat unstable for Snow Leopard. Fortunately, another developer has decided to resume the project by creating a fork of the editor for further improvement. This independent project wants to be baptized by another name, but for now continues with the original name of Smultron.
Good news for those who had abandoned all hope and publishers were now similar (but pay) and Textmate. For now have begun to repair some things, and on the official website of the project have already been released some new versions, as the full 64-bit support for Snow Leopard.
