chrisindallas: @jxpx777 That will definitely help. The backlight power should scale with mm^2. Big question is how much of the total power is the screen?

chrisindallas: @pbur You can see how much of the iPad is the batteries here: http://bit.ly/9Q7c3Q

chrisindallas: @jxpx777 Sounds to me it would mean a huge iPhone since the two iPad batteries are each bigger than the iPhone.

chrisindallas: @clothbot Ah. That one I've been prepared for since ~1992 at HP. It's ISO14001 that I have to cram for each time.

chrisindallas: Forgot my laptop's power brick again. Maybe it's time to just buy another one and leave it at my office.

chrisindallas: RT @ElecDesignNews: Current thoughts on custom IC design: After 35 plus years of being in the semiconductor business... http://bit.ly/b0UBKw

chrisindallas: @clothbot Better you than me. Which ISO, the follow the spec one or the recycle one?

chrisindallas: RT @azrobbo: Pics of my ipad + mbed serial interface - http://bit.ly/ipadmbed Very useful as a huge display for debugging. #mbed #ipad Cool

chrisindallas: The Dallas Drupal Meetup has really grown since I was here last. Good to see increased interest in Drupal and Open Source.

chrisindallas: At this time every year we find out that at least one of the office A/C units is out and parts have to be ordered. #armsstucktodesk

chrisindallas: Got contacted by another headhunter today. This time the job is in Austin. If you are interested in Mixed Signal and Power IC work, DM me.

chrisindallas: Lesson from @leolaporte this week: TWIT has 220k podcast subscribers and 1k live viewers. Ergo, Podcasting is dead. <- WTF?

chrisindallas: @mike_miley Ha! Austin's pretty attached to those, we don't have them in Dallas. We do have a few of their crappy gas station BBQs, though.

chrisindallas: RT @jfxberns: Woo hoo! Django 1.2 released! http://bit.ly/atqwkA <- Maybe I'll get a chance to learn Django before 2.0 is released.

chrisindallas: @timestocome At the Apple store, huh? LOL!

chrisindallas: @mike_miley I wish we had Portillos in Texas. You can have Jimmy Johns back if we can have Portillos. ;-)

chrisindallas: @microbuilder I can believe that, focus and recompose sometimes doesn't work great on the 40D at f4 or f5.6.

chrisindallas: @microbuilder I hadn't heard that about the 5D, but most people aren't shooting f1.2 much. Focus on the eyes and the tip of the nose is blur

chrisindallas: @microbuilder Do you have the 1Ds before the Mk II? There's still a big investment in L glass needed for any of the full frame bodies.

chrisindallas: @microbuilder Nice. There's a couple 5Ds here at my office. One of our board guys and an FPGA guy are heavily into camera gear.
