Sitting and Standing at Work

post from Daring Fireball on 15 September 2011 08:03:16 PM. © Daring Fireball

Ergonomic experts at Cornell don’t recommend standing desks, instead:

Sit to do computer work. Sit using a height-adjustable, downwardtitling keyboard tray for the best work posture, then every 20minutes stand for 2 minutes AND MOVE. The absolute time isn?tcritical but about every 20-30 minutes take a posture break andmove for a couple of minutes. Simply standing is insufficient.

Koomeys Law

post from Daring Fireball on 15 September 2011 08:03:16 PM. © Daring Fireball

Kate Greene, for MIT Technology Review:

Researchers have, for the first time, shown that the energyefficiency of computers doubles roughly every 18 months.
The conclusion, backed up by six decades of data, mirrors Moore’slaw, the observation from Intel founder Gordon Moore that computerprocessing power doubles about every 18 months. But thepower-consumption trend might have even greater relevance thanMoore’s law as battery-powered devices — phones, tablets, andsensors — proliferate.
“The idea is that at a fixed computing load, the amount of batteryyou need will fall by a factor of two every year and a half,” saysJonathan Koomey, consulting professor of civil and environmentalengineering at Stanford University and lead author of the study.

Fascinating, really. And I’d say this is what Apple’s been chasing for at least a decade, whilst its competitors remained focused on Moore’s Law.

Component Info to Financial Analyst

post from Daring Fireball on 15 September 2011 07:03:19 PM. © Daring Fireball

Patricia Hurtado, reporting for Bloomberg:

An ex-Samsung Electronics Co. manager, testifying at theinsider-trader trial of Primary Global Research LLC executiveJames Fleishman, told jurors he disclosed confidential shippingdata for Apple Inc. iPad components.
Suk-Joo Hwang, who worked for 14 years at the U.S. division ofSuwon, South Korea-based Samsung, told jurors yesterday infederal court in New York after he was granted immunity fromprosecution by U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff, who?s presidingover the case.

Note that Hwang is an ex-Samsung manager today. When he leaked this information, though, he was working there. If you’ve ever wondered how well it works with, on the one side, Samsung as a major component supplier for Apple, and on the other side, Samsung as a major Apple competitor and lawsuit target in the consumer electronics market — the answer seems to be “not too well”.

RIM Reports Shitty Results

post from Daring Fireball on 15 September 2011 06:03:49 PM. © Daring Fireball

Anyone with their eyes open has known for at least a year that RIM was heading for trouble like this. It was inevitable.

Let’s look at the bright side though. (Seriously, no use kicking these guys while they’re down.) One, they’re still profitable. Profits are way down, yes, but the company is still in the black. Two, even with their crummy outdated technology, they still sold 10 million phones. That’s an installed base they can start with when their next-gen phones ship.
