Today on D3Live I take a look at the iPad HD.

D3Live: iPad HD

Recently there has been a lot of talk about a possible additional model of the iPad, the iPad HD. The supposed iPad HD is a professionally focused version of the current iPad 2 as opposed to an all new iPad 3. Some of the features that separates the iPad 2 vs the iPad HD is a high definition 2048×1535 resolution display, the addition of professional Apple apps such as Aperture or Final Cut Pro as well as the possibility of a more powerful processor and more RAM and a new design.

I compare each of the 5 main browsers to see which is the fastest.

Download Google Chrome 12.0.742.112: http://www.google.com/chrome/

Download Mozilla Firefox 5: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/new/

Download Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.6421: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/products/ie/home

Download Opera 11.50: http://www.opera.com/browser/

Download Apple Safari 5.0.5: http://www.apple.com/safari/

Browser Test: Chrome 12 vs Firefox 5 vs Internet Explorer 9 vs Opera 11.50 vs Safari 5

In this video I compare Chrome 12 vs Firefox 5 vs Internet Explorer 9 vs Opera 11.50 vs Safari 5 to see which is fastest at Javascript, general web browsing, HTML5 compliance, memory usage and GPU hardware acceleration. Each browser has their own pros and cons as well as special features however here I just look at the raw benchmarks to determine the winner.

The benchmarks I use are the V8 Benchmark Version 6, Peacekeeper, how much memory each browser takes up as measured from Task Manager, HTML5 Fishbowl and the HTML5 Test. Each is run multiple times on the same Windows 7 computer to ensure a fair fight.

http://www.ted.com In this visually dazzling talk, Jonathan Drori shows the extraordinary ways flowering plants — over a quarter million species — have evolved to attract insects to spread their pollen: growing ‘landing-strips’ to guide the insects in, shining in ultraviolet, building elaborate traps, and even mimicking other insects in heat.
