New HP laptop: 24 hours on one charge | Micronanotronics

"Hewlett-Packard Co., the world’s largest personal-computer maker, introduced a notebook PC that can run for as long as 24 hours on a single battery charge. Customers would have to buy an optional battery, a special display and a so-called solid-state hard-disk drive to get the extended running time, Hewlett-Packard said. With those options, the EliteBook 6930p costs about $2,200. After an online discount, the price will be $1,816. Hewlett-Packard has added new PCs over the last two months to capture consumer demand for notebooks and extend its lead over Dell Inc. The new notebook will compete with Dell’s Latitude E6400, introduced in August, which can run for as long as 19 hours on a single charge.
The company’s notebook sales rose 26% in the quarter ended July 31, while desktop revenue increased 6%. PCs account for a third of the company’s revenue. Customers wanting the 24-hour battery life will also have to download additional graphics and system software, HP said. The machine will be available in October. A basic version of the PC costs $1,199, Hewlett-Packard spokesman Mike Hockey said. The additional battery costs $150, and the solid-state hard disk, which stores information on chips rather than a magnetic disk, is an extra $900."

THE TOPKAPI PALACE MUSEUM

TOPKAPI SARAYI Topkapi Palace was home to all the Ottoman sultans until the reign of Abdulmecid I (1839-1860), a period of nearly four centuries. The order for the construction of the Topkapi Palace on the Seraglio Point overlooking both Marmara and Bosphorus was given by Mehmed II after the conquest of Constantinapolis in 1453. The place was then an ancient olive grove. The final form of the first palace covered an area 700m², and was enclosed with fortified walls 1400 meters in length. The walls were pierced by a number of gates, namely the Otluk gate, the Demir gate and the Imperial gate (Bab-i Humayun), and a number of minor angled gates between them. After the reign of Mehmed II the Conqueror, the palace grew steadily to form a city like complex of buildings and annexes, including a shore palace known as the Topkapi shore palace, as it was situated near the cannon gate -Topkapi- of the ancient walls of Istanbul. When the shore palace was burned down in 1863, it lent its name to ...

THE BOSPHORUS

THE BOSPHORUS The Bosphorus is approximately 30 km long, and at its narrowest point the Anadolu and Rumeli fortresses face each other across it. Here the width of the strait is about 800 meters. On the surface, the Bosphorus flows like a river from the Black Sea to the Marmara. This current gets much stronger and becomes truly dangerous around the fortresses. Below the surface current, there is another current flowing in the opposite direction. These currents have always constituted a threat for the ships crossing the strait. The Bosphorus is like a narrow valley and it has an average depth of 50 and a maximum depth of 110 meters. Because of the currents and the different temperatures on various levels, the Bosphorus is a paradise for fish. The fish migrate between the Black Sea and the Marmara according to the season. These fish, peculiar to these waters, are caught during the migration seasons. Nowhere else can one find such fine-tasting fish. Until recent times, the settlements alon...
