UPS eQuad Electric Bikes

UPS is testing some electric quad bikes for delivery service. The mini UPS truck makes it easier for drivers to navigate through streets, narrow alleys, and congested areas. 
They are not that fast and hold small packages but it will make it easier for drivers to carry packages to their destinations where now their trucks cannot get through.

iPad Battery Pull tabs

It looks like Apple is now making the iPad easier to repair by putting in iPad battery pull tabs. Now if you had repaired old iPads the adhesive was stronger, now it will be easier to do that DYI users can do it themselves on this new version.

Apple 9 inch foldable

It looks like Apple is currently testing a 9 inch foldable iPhone but it's not any time soon expected. As per the article it looks like the company is putting it's priorities on large and medium devices before it goes to it's small devices. 

I think this is a pretty foolish move while Android continues to gain market share. It's a move like this that could just could kill Apple all together. 

Apple should learn from Motorola's past rise and fall.

Troubleshoot Window Freezes

Here are some good tips to troubleshoot Window freezes. This always requires lots of patience, you need to wait until things free up so that you can save your file and continue.

Then try Cntrl + Alt + Del and wait for the screen to blank before selecting task manager. In task manager click more details, if visible and any non-responsive program should be highlighted and you can attempt to close it or try to recover it. This will take you to a detail tab, where processes are listed with more information on their status. 

Right-click the non-responding thread and choose to Analyze the wait chain. This waits to use resources being used elsewhere which can result in the program freezing. 

And Sometimes the Task Manager appears to have no effect. In these circumstances, you may be forced to reboot.
