The tragedy of Bruce Lee and his son, Brandon Lee (Hollywood, star, legend, tragic, event, culture, social, trend, kungfu, mma, fight, movies)

Bruce And Brandon Lee
When martial arts legend Bruce Lee died of cerebral edema in 1973, his fans speculated that the cause of death may have come from the "Dim Mak," or the "Touch of Death" he received a few weeks prior. "Dim Mak" refers to the idea in martial arts that touching certain parts of the body in sequence can cause death. Fans of Bruce were further spooked when his son Brandon was accidentally shot to death on the set of The Crow in 1993. Though Brandon died early in the filming process, the producers completed the movie with special effects and a stunt man in Lee's place.

The Kennedy Family
Aside from the tragic assassinations of John F. Kennedy in 1963 and his brother Bobby Kennedy in 1968, their brother Ted Kennedy ran his car off a bridge in Chappaquiddick in 1969, and managed to escape - but his passenger, Mary Jo Kopechne, was not so lucky - she drowned, leading to conspiracy theories that Kennedy had driven the car into the water on purpose. In 1999, JFK's son died in a plane crash with his wife and her sister.

Believe it or not--John Lennon: "Number 9" Curse

Lennon was convinced that he was cursed by the number nine. He was born on October 9th, 1940 in Liverpool and the band was "discovered" on November 9, 1961. The Beatles played The Ed Sullivan Show on February 9th, 1964. He met Yoko Ono on November 9th, 1966. The Beatles later broke up after nine years together. His son Sean was born nine years after he met Ono, on John's birthday, October 9th. Tragically, he was shot and killed on December 8th, 1980, but in Liverpool, where he was born, the date was (you guessed it) December 9th.

Technology News Update 2012: iPad: IPS Screen Technology Explained

b0fd41d30c75e18467b517d59b60ec83 iPad: IPS Screen Technology ExplainedDuring Wednesday’s unveiling of the long-awaited iPad, Apple CEO Steve Jobs detailed that the new 9.7-inch tablet will make use of In-Plane Switching display technology. So, what excatly is In-Plane Swicthing, what does it do and why is Apple choosing to make use of this display technology for their new device?

In-Plane Switching (IPS) is an LCD technology first introduced in 1996 by Hitachi. It was initially developed to correct the poor viewing angles and color problems that LCDs had at the time.

Due to initial high-costs, IPS adoption was low at first, and mainly found only in high-end monitors, aimed primiarliy at the professional sector. Of course, over time, IPS was improved and refined, and as is the case with most new technologies, costs eventually came down to an acceptable level for mass-production. For example, Apple’s newest iMacs use IPS displays..

The IPS display used int he iPad is a 9.7-inch 1024-by-768 resolution LED-backlit LCD screen. IPS gives the iPad an impressive wide viewing-angle of up to 178 degrees. Other LCD technologies tend to have narrower viewing angles, especially in the vertical direction.

Ensuring that the device can be held in a variety of ways without major viewing angle issues was clearly of great importance to Apple, especially considering that you’ll rotate the iPad depending on what you’re viewing, and Apple positions the iPad as a casual use ‘living-room’ device, perfect for consuming an assortment of multimedia.

Typical casual-use devices, namely netbooks, use a twisted nematic (TN) display technology. TN although cheaper, offers inferior color reproduction (only 6-bit color, while IPS supports richer 8-bit color), and lower viewing angles, so Apple’s use of a higher quality display techology (IPS) for such a casual device is welcomed.

Can you runWindows 7 On an iPad 3? Answer: Yes, you can!

b5195aed33b6f64da54f3bac032a3e0d Windows 7 On an iPad? Yes You CanWant to run Windows 7 on the new Apple iPad? Citrix says it will soon be possible–at least virtually–using a new version of its Citrix Receiver software.

Promised to be ready when the tablet computer ships in March, Citrix says the new software, based on the current iPhone version, is a response to questions about how the iPad might find a home in the enterprise.

1a482c0ed6761fc7331ce92a85c1d48e Windows 7 On an iPad? Yes You Can

“If your company has XenDesktop or XenApp you will be happy to know you will be able to use your iPad for real work as well,” wrote Citrix Vice President Chris Fleck in a company blog.

“It turns out the 9.7 inch display on the iPad with a 1024×768 screen resolution works great for a full VDI XenDesktop. Windows applications run unmodified and securely in the data center, and even multiple applications at once.”

Citrix says the iPad’s larger screen solves many of the challenges users’ faced because of when using the iPhone with a virtualized Windows desktop. (Which sounds pretty painful, if you ask me).

“The iPhone restrictions of screen size and small keyboards are overcome with the iPad. The iPad looks to be an ideal end-point device that can empower users to be productive wherever they are and IT will be able to safely deliver company-hosted virtual desktops and apps without worry,” Fleck wrote.

While it might be interesting to add iPads to a company’s enterprise environment, Fleck admits the new Receiver software might also be a way for customers to justify the purchase of tablets that employees will buy anyway.

“Let us know how you’re going to put it to work,” Fleck writes, concluding his post, “Even if it’s just to rationalize buying another gadget.”

The iPad isn’t likely to be perfect for many business apps, besides presentations, but companies already supporting virtualized desktops many find applications and users that make sense for Apple’s new tablet.
