Other news ...
- After the decision of a large number of major international companies such as Apple, Wikipedia, Four Square, and others to abandon Google Maps and resort to alternative maps, Google decided to reduce the prices for using its own maps, as it previously cost 4 dollars per 1000 times display, but then it will become only half a dollar, this The big reduction, which is approximately 83%, means that Google will be severely affected by the loss of major customers such as Apple and Forsquire.
- A recent statistic for the EPRI Center for Studies showed that the iPad needs 12 kilowatts of electricity annually as the cost of shipping, which means $ 1.36 dollars of electricity annually, while the iPhone 4 costs $ 0.38 annually, the older iPhone 3G needs 2.2 kilowatts annually to be shipped, which is Which means a cost of $ 0.25. The cost of shipping Apple products is very simple if we know that the average laptop needs 72.3 kilos per year, or $ 8.31, and the 42-inch LCD screen costs $ 23.44 annually. The statistic took place on the US market, with the average normal consumption and the cost of American electricity, but it means that the cost of charging phones and tablets does not cost anything compared to the rest of the devices.
