“I was extremely nervous handing off my macbook.”

quick request:

Windows 10 Spring April Update

The previous Spring update, was delayed, and subsequently renamed April 2018 update. This will self roll out to computers over the next few days and weeks. Most likely this will install in the background and prompt you to reboot, or may self reboot within the maintenance hours.

Just note that the reboot process could take quite a while depending  on your PC speed and we have had circumstances where reboots for updates have taken an hour or more to complete. We recommend, if you haven’t already, to reboot at the end of the day, and see if it begins the update process. You can also kick it off manually by pressing the windows logo (bottom left) of your keyboard, type in ‘update’ and press enter. This should then bring up the Windows Update screen where you can see any pending updates, click to check for newer updates, and see if a reboot is required.

If you have any issues please email us support@battech.com.au or call 02 9698 9644.

As always all advice provided as general guide.

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Willow Glass Flexible Smartphone Glass

There’s no question that flexible screens are the future, along with the bendable products that go with them. Corning, maker of Gorilla Glass 3, was kind enough to drop by our CNET booth at CES to show me Willow Glass, its take on bendable glass so thin you can curve it in a deep arc without breaking.

Willow Glass is as thick as a business card — only 0.1 millimeter thick — and as malleable as promised. I could easily bend it within its plastic laminate cover, but at this early stage in development, I wasn’t able to handle the bare glass.

Manufacturers who use the glass in future products will be able to spool the material and bend it around displays, like smartphones, for example.

The glass can also conform to curves, making it ideal for rounded and circular structures, like the wavy walls of CNET’s CES booth. In addition to forming an interior or base material for products — called the substrate — it can also protect sensitive electronic parts from moisture. Think of the photovoltaic cells used in solar paneling. Now imagine solar roofing you can carry onto a roof in a roll and unfurl all at once, rather than apply tile by tile.

In the tech world, Corning is synonymous with its chemically strengthened Gorilla Glass products that cover smartphones, tablets, and laptops. This flexible Willow Glass is a different beast, meant for its lightness and razor-thin profile, not for durability and protection.

Though extremely flexible, Willow Glass can break if bent too deeply. This is an important reminder for followers of the flexi-screen craze. Corning will focus on increasing the ultraslim glass’ reliability and strength, but don’t expect Willow to become as strong as Gorilla. “It’s just the physics of it,” said Dr. Dipak Chowdhury, a Corning division vice president and Willow director.

Announced last June, Corning expects to mass produce Willow Glass in the second half of 2013, with commercial products entering the market in early 2014.
