New iPad on 22 October and why 64 bit is cool

While the American nation collapses around itself in the ignorance and stupidity of a bygone tea party age, there is Apple, a shining example of the new America born out of knowledge and skill from the liberal arts and sciences, and liberal engineering labs of America, the garages and the cellars, the school labs and the university science centres. Your time has finally come. 

It's a mistake to think that 64 bit processing for the iPad and future tablets is not only cool but needed. 

As consumers we forget about developers. 

So a 64 bit developer of software needs to test that software on the real deal, the machine that will run the software. The world of software developers will be first in the queue to grab, seize, tear away the new more powerful iPad. 

There is so much more to be done and all that wonderful 64 bit stuff can be moved off the old fashioned machines like the 1972 PET. Think of all the stuff that developers dumped from the bad bad processors IBM and Microsoft offered, rather rationed out to us over the past thirty odd years.

Ouch! Hell, those were painful decades. 

Yes! Yes! Yes! Finally, move your apps and controllers, machine tools and appliances to 64 bit. Let your encryption software baffle the super computers and spies of misplaced tea pots. 

Software will arrive like an avalanche from programmers of old and new excited by a decent 64 bit platform that has worldwide support. Forget the old world. 

In with objects and machine to machine control. Out with humans. 

Let's really bring on the Androids in Appleland. Fruits up! Any not taking.....? 

In with the new.....



"Truth and reality, once told or experienced, is only a stranger before the first instance. One must learn to recognise one's ephemeral friends very soon. Some experience, sense and recognise both the truth and reality before it happens, while others never at all." 

I think it is important to be frequently optimistic and thoughtful!

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
