Jatuh dari 400 Meter, iPad Tidak Rusak

 iPad mungkin akan pecah saat terjatuh dari meja, tetapi bagaimana jika komputer tersebut jatuh dari ketinggian lebih dari 1300 kaki atau sekitar 400 meter? Ternyata tidak rusak.
Sekelompok orang dari perusahaan G Form mencoba melakukan pengujian. Mereka melempar iPad dari pesawat dengan ketinggian 1300 kaki dalam keadaan iPad tengah memutar video.
Ternyata, saat diperiksa, iPad tersebut masih tetap aktif dan layar masih menayangkan video. Sebelum ini, G Form juga sudah sukses melempar iPad tersebut dari ketinggian 500 kaki atau sekitar 150 meter serta ditimpa oleh bola bowling.
Dikutip dari Daily Mail, 17 November 2011, rahasianya adalah casing atau sarung yang jauh lebih tebal dibandingkan biasanya. Sarung ini terbuat dari material balistik militer yang didesain khusus menahan tekanan saat jatuh di permukaan.
Dalam demonstrasi lain, G Form juga mendemonstrasikan bagaimana iPad tersebut mampu bertahan dari pukulan seorang master kungfu.
G Form sendiri bukan satu-satunya perusahaan yang membuat sarung khusus untuk menahan kondisi ekstrim. Sebelumnya, iOsafe telah mendesain pelindung harddisk khusus yang tahan peluru.
Rolex juga telah membuat alat anti air yang mampu membuat benda yang ada di dalamnya mampu bertahan hingga kedalaman 12 ribu kaki atau sekitar 3.600 meter, sebuah kedalaman yang dipastikan akan meremukkan tubuh manusia.

Hulu Plus Makes Appearance On Sony Dash

Hulu Plus, the $9.99 per month service that has so far failed to attract much positive attention, scored another (small) victory today.  Now Hulu Plus is available through the Sony Dash, a device designed to inhabit bedrooms, kitchens, and offices.

A little more info on the Dash in case you're unfamiliar with it: Sony describes it as "a Wi-Fi connected device that features a vivid 7-inch color touch screen and built-in stereo speakers."  And a selection of over 1,000 free apps ensures that owners can use the Dash to check the news, weather, some social networks, or whatever.

So Hulu Plus will sort of align with the device's purpose in terms of providing entertainment.  Also, this development goes to show that Hulu and Sony remain on excellent terms (Hulu Plus is already available through the PS3 and Bravia TVs).

It seems doubtful that this move will inspire many people to either sign up for Hulu Plus or buy a Sony Dash, however.  Hulu Plus continues to suffer in comparisons to Netflix; it costs more, has commercials, and lacks content.  Then the Dash just seems to occupy an odd niche threatened by smartphones, laptops, and the iPad.

We'll see what happens, anyway.

Brennan Mullin, senior vice president of Sony Electronics' personal imaging and audio business, said in a statement, "The addition of Hulu Plus serves as an ideal example of how Dash continues to evolve and improve over time.  With Hulu on board, the Dash platform has the ability to deliver a huge variety of online entertainment instantly to consumers' homes on top of glanceable, real-time tidbits of information."
