Cet épisode pour entrer dans les coulisses de ma prépa du semi-marathon des Grands Crus que j'ai couru le 8 octobre 2023. Vous découvrirez l'avant, le pendant et l'après course ! Ce qui importe se situe également avant le début d'une préparation, en analysant son état mental et physique, ainsi qu'en tenant compte de ses dernières courses, de sa saison globale, etc. Je vous partage quelques données de mon compte Strava pour mieux comprendre comment s'est passé mon plan d'entraînement dans le détail. Il n'y a pas que le jour de la course qui compte, mais bien l'ensemble des mois qui le précèdent ! Mille mercis !
Quelques minutes plus intimistes pour vous partager ma prépa semi-marathon pour une course prévue le 8 octobre 2023. Un petit conseil dissimulé dans tout ça ! Mille mercis !

There have been rumors of Apple working on their own cellular modems for years. Those are the radios that phones and other gear use to connect to carrier networks like AT&T, Verizon, Rogers, Vodafone, and all the rest. They’re mainly LTE right now but 5G is on the horizon and they’re already speccing out 6G beyond that. So, it’s a critical part of the hardware we all use every day and Apple likes to control all of those parts. The rumors picked up recently when Apple settled with Qualcomm, the biggest modem maker in the game, and Intel, who’d been providing Apple with modems during the spat, announced they’d be getting out of the business now that the other two had made up. But that left Intel’s modem portfolio up for grabs. And, much like Apple once bought PA Semi, licensed ARM’s IP, and began making custom A-Series chipsets for iPhones and iPads, the rumor here is that Apple will buy that modem business, license Qualcomm IP, and begin making custom modems as well.

Apple is in the product business. But before they can manufacture a product, they need to design it. There was a time when Apple Computer used to rely upon components supplied by outside companies to incorporate into their products. The Mac first used a microprocessor based on the Power Architecture developed by Motorola and IBM. Then in 2005, Apple announced the decision to switch from the Power Architecture to processors from Intel Corporation. Shortly after that, in 2006 they made the change. At around the same time, they aquired a company called PA-Semi that had a microprocessor development team in silicon valley. That team had been working on a low power consumption microprocessor for the notebook PC market using the Power Architecture that Apple had just abandoned. They clearly didn’t need the product that PA-Semi had been building. They spent $75M to buy a company with 150 talented engineers who knew how to build low power chips. Now in the US, it’s against the law to buy people. You can only buy a company and hope that enough of the team decide to stay together at the new company. Apple bought the company in order to buy the team. In order to build the next generation of products, they needed a crack microprocessor development team. But for what? Then two years later, Apple announced the iPhone, a product that would transform the company and propel it from just a desktop and laptop computer company to one that would blur the lines between a phone and a computer and a camera, forever changing the landscape of mobile computing in the industry. When I was in the microprocessor development business, I had hired a design team in Austin Texas of about 75 people at a small company called Intrinsity. They had developed a method for building high performance low power circuits and were among one of the better processor development teams in the world. They were used to augment my own processor development team that had staff in San Diego, Austin, Silicon Valley and France. Then in 2010, Apple announced that they were going to acquire Intrinsity. Today, most of the guys who used to work for me are now at Apple. Their first project was a power reduction for the graphics subsystem in the iPad. Getting higher performance graphics on the iPad with a 10 hour battery life was one of the goals for the iPad and this team delivered on that promise. They’ve gone on to work on other elements of the processor for both the iPhone and the iPad. Most recently, it was disclosed that Apple is in discussion with Intel to acquire their mobile handset modem chip business. Here too, Apple might be buying a business where they have little interest in the actual products that company was making. They would be buying the business for the team. The acquisition has not been completed as of yet and will probably take a few months to complete. There’s a pattern here. Before Apple can bring a new product to market, they need to have the right people on board. Not just any people, the right people, the best people.

Your target market should be curated with your pricing plans. Building a partnership with an already established company is beneficial, especially if you’re a new one.
