|
Thunderbolt, high speed I/O connector
|
|
|
|
|
Developed by Intel (Lightpeak)
|
|
|
|
|
Based on PCI Express, it offers a direct connection to the PCI Express bus
|
|
|
|
|
10 Gbps in both directions
|
|
|
|
|
Estimated real world performance in the 8Gbps range
|
|
|
|
|
Intel demonstrated actual throughputs of up to 6.25Gbps on prototype consumer products
|
|
|
|
|
USB 3.0 by comparison has a 5Gbps theoretical mac, but real world speeds in the 3Gbps range
|
|
|
|
|
Speed limited by the device connected.
|
|
|
|
|
most SATA hard drives top out at 3Gbps for example
|
|
|
|
|
If all devices in a chain are connected via Thunderbolt performance is only effected by amount of data actively using the connection
|
|
|
|
|
If legacy devices are connected then their order will matter
|
|
|
|
|
Available in optical and electrical (copper) variants. Apple uses electrical
|
|
|
|
|
Power over cable for bus-powered devices
|
|
|
|
|
Thunderbolt also provides 10 watts of power to peripherals
|
|
|
|
|
Uses the same connector as Mini Display port
|
|
|
|
|
Dual-protocol (PCI Express* and DisplayPort*)
|
|
|
|
|
Can use existing USB and FireWire peripherals — even connect to Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel networks — using simple adapters
|
|
|
|
|
Not backwardly compatible with USB 3.0?
|
|
|
|
|
Connect a DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, or VGA display using adapters.
|
|
|
|
|
Daisy chain up to 6 devices
|
|
|
|
|
For now Apple displays don't have an additional Thunderbolt connector, so Display will have to be the last device in a chain
|
|
|
|
|
Exclusive to Apple until 2012
|
|
|
|
|
Thunderbolt ports can't be added to existing PCs via an expansion card
|
|
|
|
|
Motherboard needs to incorporate a Thunderbolt controller chip which needs direct access to both the system's video and PCI Express architecture
|
|
|
|
|
LaCie and Promise announced hard drive products supporting the new connector
|
|
|
|
|
Face Time for Mac

Does Apple have responsibility in China
|
|
|
|
|
As mentioned on the last show this is a difficult and trick subject for me
|
|
|
|
|
This week 5 workers representing workers at Apple supplier Wintek sent a letter to Steve Jobs asking for help
|
|
|
|
|
Wintek has admitted to using a chemical called hexyl hydride, (n-hexane), instead of alcohol, to speed production (evaporates faster) of touchscreens made for Apple between May 2008 and August 2009
|
|
|
|
|
In Apple's report they admit 137 workers suffered ill effects due to n-hexane exposure
|
|
|
|
|
Apple is doing more than other companies and following the local laws
|
|
|
|
|
Apple made Wintek stop using the chemical, made them fix their ventilation system, and audited them
|
|
|
|
|
Apple has verified that all affected workers have been treated successfully
|
|
|
|
|
According to Apple's report following China law, Wintek has paid medical treatment, meals, and foregone wages for sick or recuperating workers.
|
|
|
|
|
Workers say Apple hasn't admitted their responsibility and want an apology from Apple
|
|
|
|
|
Employees claim that Wintek has not given enough compensation to victims
|
|
|
|
|
Avoided promising future coverage of medical bills (probably not required by Chinese law)
|
|
|
|
|
Put pressure on people who took compensation to leave their jobs
|
|
|
|
|
Do we need higher bit rate music?
|
|
|
|
|
Rumors say Apple is pushing publishers to let them offer 24-bit music files on iTunes
|
|
|
|
|
Currently most music is at best 16-bit 44.1Khz, but likely compressed down more with AAC/MP3, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
Most current players don't have 24-bit decoders and most headphones probably don't have enough range to even let you hear the added sound
|
|
|
|
|
Are the majority of consumers savvy or do they care enough?
|
|
|
|
|
Doesn't hurt to have the best quality we can get if the price is the same and even if we don't appreciate it.
|
|
|
|
|
For archival purposes it's probably a good thing. Multiple "masters".
