Tablets make the ultimate couch companion, but even the sharpest and most powerful slates are useless if they can't handle hours of Web surfing, gaming and video streaming. That's why we've compiled the longest-lasting tablets we've ever tested. Every slate on this list lasted at least 8 hours on our battery test, which consists of continuous Web surfing over Wi-Fi with the brightness set to 150 nits. If you need a tablet that can handle your Netflix addiction with ease, look no further.
Uniquely, the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 HD+ features an adjustable kickstand and hinge, which allows you to stand the tablet up for better viewing. And you'll be able to stream plenty of Netflix, thanks to the 13:01 of battery life endurance. This $349 Android tablet features a full-HD 1920 x 1200-pixel display and front-facing speakers for an even better cinema experience.
The 12 hours and 37 minutes of battery life is a good reason to love the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 2, but it's not the only one. This 10-inch Android 4.4 KitKat tablet sports a built-in kickstand and curved edge that allows you to use the tablet in multiple modes. The front-facing speakers positively boom audio at you, and the $269 price tag is nothing to sneeze at. Plus, on the software front, Lenovo adds a quick-settings menu called Bottom Switch, which gives you easy access to various settings.
Apple's iPad mini finally has a Retina display, and it's just as good as you'd imagined. But what you may not have expected from this iOS 7-powered slate is that it would get a crazy long 11 hours and 6 minutes of battery life over Wi-Fi. Like the iPad Air, the iPad mini with Retina display features Apple's new 64-bit A7 processor, making this one screaming fast slate.
Amazon adds so much value to its tablet line, at least for Prime members who enjoy free movies, TV shows, e-books and music. But even non-Prime members will love the Fire HDX 8.9 because of its excellent parental controls, attractive design and brilliant 2560 x 1600-pixel display. Plus, this Android-based tablet will keep going for an amazing 10 hours and 19 minutes.
The massive Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 has "laptop replacement" written all over it, with the battery life to back it up. This mega-slate endured 9 hours and 32 seconds on our battery test, which should give you plenty of time to utilize its neat multitasking features and stylus apps. The Note Pro 12.2 is built for the office, and you won't have to worry about it running out of juice when you need it most.
The industry standard for tablets is also one of the longest lasting, with 9 hours and 20 minutes of endurance. The Apple iPad Air 2 also boasts a gorgeous display in a super-thin design. The A8X chip ensures zippy performance. A sharper camera will capture all your precious moments. And, while the competition is catching up, Apple still maintains the best tablet-friendly app selection on the market.
Fire up the Dell Venue 11 Pro, and you've got a solid Windows 8.1 tablet that will last through 8 hours on a single charge. Attach it to the optional keyboard dock, and you've got a mini laptop that lasts a stunning 15 hours and 40 seconds. Factor in the slate's crisp 1080p display and zippy performance, and you've got a hybrid that can handle a day's work—and then some— on a single charge.
The Galaxy Tab 7.7 is a glaring omission…I believe either the international or Verizon version was averaging 10-11 hours of battery life.
That any of these do not have 20 hour battery life for 5 dollars extra extra built in is ridiculous you can put in 3 batteries like high capacity camera batteries each lasting 8 hours cost was 2.00 a battery triple or quade system should be standard 14 to 20 hour system I worked in electronics over 20 years
Notice how ASUS was completely left out of this. Some of their tablets go for even longer than the iPad.
Why didn't they include the Asus Padfone?
Afterall, it CAN be a tablet and has up to 63 hours of battery life.
I agree with David and Todd, Asus infinity over the past year edged out iPad and pretty much everyone else but is not even mentioned. Just on that simple fact of selective product endorsement by these people put any thing they say into question. I went thru some of their other top picks and found once again selective product bias, excluding other better products. Can anyone say, kick back!
I just wanted to point out that the Nook HD/HD+ now have full Google Play access, so that particular objection that some people have against them are now gone. Of course, if you want a Nook, you might be better off waiting until B&N announces their new partner for manufacturing them. (I'm hoping for Asus
You know, despite the damn thing being a flop, the HP TouchPad deserves a nod here.
I have an HP TouchPad and I once left it in my work bag for like two weeks without touching it. I pulled it out and it still had 25% battery remaining. I had to look at it again to make sure it was right.
It's not just mine either, both mine and my wife's HP TouchPads go somewhere between 10-14 days between being charged. Hers gets much heavier use!
Jus' sayin', for all the beating up every does on the thing, can we at least give it some credit in that department?
Be aware that the author of this article it is likely an iPad owner (therefore an Apple lover with a heavy bias against anything not made by Apple). Therefore it will be extremely bias towards everything that the iPad can do (and likely exaggerate) and like many internet authors, the author did little to no research on anything not made by Apple relying on complains of new users to tear apart non-Apple products.
Case an point:
Unlike the brief BIASED copy on the Lenovo. The Lenovo CAN and WILL connect to outside storage but does not provide enough power for many devices which makes it inconvenient as you will need to either provide alternative power, use the optional Lenovo docking station (which by the way is nice as it adds Ethernet, 3 USB 2.0 ports, and HDMI while it charges the tablet) or use a power USB hub. In addition, it has a MicroSD card slot in the side making it possible to have infinite storage on the go (but up to 64MB at a time) NO CLOUD. All you get with the iPad is a maximum of 64GB (and now 128MB) which is FIXED (you can add anything later).
In addition, according to Laptop (oh wait the same website) the longest lasting would be:
Dell Lattitude 10 (17:40 with 4 cell battery installed)
Acer Iconia W510 (15:09 with keyboard dock)
HP Envy X2 (11:57 with dock)
Then there are others like the Padfone but how could the author know about it it is not like he knows people like Daniel Burg to ask.
Finally I noticed they use the constant Web Surfing battery life as a benchmark not the constant video watching battery life since that would eliminate the ipad from the top 10 (and possibly the top 20).
But is the BIASED author going to say it (oh heck no!) he maybe expelled from the biased authored guild (or Laptop's Magazine staff which ever catches them first). Because not praising Apple is against Hollywood, the press, and the TV's rules. I think they kill you or something like that when that happens. Just noticed no one on big networks, magazines and movies EVER breaks that rule.
hahah weird list, my asus longs most that all the other tablets listed here.
Lenovo yoga 8 has 18hrs battery life and a built in kickstand a great camera, metal body and front Dolby speakers. I love it and can easily watch movies,YouTube and read while laying in bed or on the couch!
I appreciate your list and the work you put into it. However, it might do you good to include another tablet. It's the Toshiba Thrive. Although this tablet has technically been discontinued, it is still available to get. I get upwards of 16 hours out of my 1yr. old Thrive!
Just thought worth mentioning! Have a great day!
I have the Asus Infinity with 16 hours of battery life. Why wasnt it mentioned? Best tablet I ahve owned. I have owned samesung galaxy 2 both 7 and 10 inch and toshiba excite. asus beats All.
Is anyone forgetting some tablets from Panasonic?
i have ipad 4 retina display.
from 100% till 50% using surfing n games, i have notice that i can get around 3 -4 hours tops only. if i play nonstop. sometimes i even watched battery dips 1-5% within 5-10 min of surfing only or facebook few msgs only (no game at that time)
I keep my brightness less than 50% at all time and volume nil except sometimes.
i dont play music or video on it.
just surfing the net using safari n crome, check email once a day only. play games mainly on it.
i have also turn lot of things off to give me better battery life. but i do still have few push mail of games on.
i have checked when i keep my ipad closed it will last longer and working fine according to a site. and my ipad get hot alot.
so ur time written for ipad dont seem to add to my time at all

rubish rubish rubish…….u all are fools and asses all around foolish motherfuckers……….u all urself look like cows hahahaha
question: Do tablets' battery need to be fully used first before recharging? Or, how much should be used before recharging?
Thank you
Where is the asus range? where is sony z3 tablet compact?
What about acer 840 tab
or the galaxy 8.4 tab s?
and xiaomi!
The hell you review about 1/10th the tablets which really does not help anyone in making a true decision based on battery length
Apple mobile OS is the sole reason I abandoned Apple… It is God awful!!
I can't believe anyone from the world of tech could even consider it.
Ohh I suppose it looks nice. Sort of like a footballers wife!!

Gallery: Solar Impulse Airplane Gears Up For First Night Flight!
We've been following the progress of the Solar Impulse, a solar-powered plane that will attempt to circle the globe, for over a year. The single-seat plane took its first successful flight this past April, and now Solar Impulse founder Bertrand Piccard is gearing up to send the plane on its inaugural night flight this Thursday.
The plane, which has a 208-foot wingspan and measures just 3,500 pounds (the same as a large car), is powered by four 10 horsepower electric motors. The motors gather energy from batteries, which in turn are juiced up by 12,000 solar cells covering the plane's wings.
So far, Solar Impulse has taken 10 flights — all during the day. The night flight will require a 25-hour window of clear summer weather to take off from the Payerne airbase in Switzerland. If the latest flight attempt succeeds, the solar-powered plane will inch significantly closer to its goal of a round-the-world trip that will fly both during the day and night. Good luck to the Solar Impulse team!

Company Could Help Diamond For Jess in Adequan Derby Challenge
November 17, 2010
Trainer R.L. "Rick" Robinson, his wife, Kathy, and son, Tony, brought several friends with them to Fair Grounds Race Course for the Bank of America Racing Challenge Championships on Friday. They include a Golden Retriever named Dylan, who has relaxed in the backseat of their truck while it is parked in the track's barn area in the mornings, and a calico-colored rabbit named Precious, purchased by Robinson three years ago to babysit a nervous filly, placing the cage in the horse's stall to give her some company.
"We got rid of the filly but kept the rabbit," said Robinson. "We like animals."
Since arriving at Fair Grounds several days ago, Precious has been tucked deep in straw in a roomy cage perched on the shedrow wall across from the equine star for the Robinsons. That would be Diamond For Jess, the 5-2 morning-line favorite for the $200,000 Adequan Derby Challenge Championship (G1). (For the record, Diamond For Jess doesn't pay attention to Precious, the trainer said.)
Diamond For Jess, whom Robinson affectionately calls "Chester," earned a spot in the Derby Challenge Championship by winning the Adequan Sam Houston Derby Challenge (G3) on July 31. In April, the gelding captured the Remington Park Derby (G2) while setting the 400-yard track record of
:19.340 and in May was fourth in the Heritage Place Derby (G1). The Derby Challenge Championship will mark his eighth start of the year and his first race since September 24 when he ran fourth in a trial to the Dash For Cash Derby (G2) at Lone Star Park.
Robinson, who trains Diamond For Jess for owner Dan Nicks of Devine, Texas, said he was pleased the Feature Mr Jess gelding drew post 8 in the 11-horse Derby Challenge Championship. He believes the company on either side will help keep the gelding focused on his business.
"If he's between horses, he runs good," said Robinson, who sent Diamond For Jess to the starting gate for a schooling session on Wednesday morning. "We just didn't want the outside. We were all holding our breath when they drew the 11 (post, which went to Acorn). He doesn't run good from the outside."
Friday's race will mark the final start of the year for Diamond For Jess, who will be turned out with his owner with a planned return to competition early in 2011 at Remington.
Diamond For Jess is the second starter in the Challenge Championships for Robinson, who sent out Heza Marquette Maker to a sixth-place finish in the 2008 AQHA Distance Championship (G1) at Evangeline Downs. Robinson, who lives near San Antonio, Texas, grew up five miles from Los Alamitos and worked for Russell Harris when he was beginning his training career.
First post for Friday's 13-race card at Fair Grounds is 5 p.m. Central. For the first time, the Bank of America Challenge Championships will be featured on Horse Racing TV and available to the channel's 17 million subscribers, as well as free to view on AQHA's
Q-Racing Video
. During the "free weekend," nonsubscribers will be asked for a valid e-mail address to access the site. Q-Racing Video will be free and open to the world from 8 a.m. Friday, November 19, through the evening of Sunday, November 21. BY AMY OWENS

I have many srx firewalls in clusters. I have never had an issue with them. we run IDP and many other features. I have over 15 SRX firewalls deployed with not an issue. If you run your firewalls on the JTAC recommended release, you will not have an issue.
What size of office? and did you do HA on any of them... all of the recent release notes state that UTM features are not recommended or supported in clustering.. Also 10.0r3 has some bugs that simply do not appear under location size work loads found on the 100, 210, 240 units but on the 650s. Also some known bugs with UTM only impact cluster configs.
09-20-2010 07:03 PM - edited 09-20-2010 07:05 PM
I have several srx-240 clusters running IDP. I never run UTM in a cluster environment. I also do not run dot1Q trunks, or vlan interfaces in a clustered environment. I have several srx-210's in non clustered setup at remote offices running UTM. But I mostly uses the antispam features. Early on the devices had issues where the antivirus filtering on HTTP traffic would randomly stop forwarding http traffic and the you had to restart the utm service to remedy the issue.
As for the office size. I have over 60 small offices of 5 to 100 users. And then we have very large datacenters hosted around the world. Different size boxes for different environments. Out large datacenters do not aggrigate UTM and IDP functions on the firewall device. I have not drank the IDP/UTM coolaid yet. Not from checkpoint or juniper. I think UTM is fine for small offices, but that configuration does not belong in the datacenter.

Palo Alto makes a nice line as well if you are looking at NextGen.
My only additions to bufo333's post would be:
1. Don't do full (global internet) BGP on branch SRX
2. Look at if you actually need clustering, and if you do, do you actually need redundent ethernet
It's true a 650 more then has the grunt to run BGP, it just can't do so stabily if it's also performing security functions at the same time (the same goes for the bigger J-series units).
As for the redundent ethernet, if all you have is P2P links with a dynamic routing protocol on it you probably don't need it, just run two links at L3.
My only need for clustering would be an RE failure, and am hoping that Juniper release the ability to have a backup RE and M-series level of RE failover.
There is always the Fortinet range, just a ScreenOS firewall in a new tin with some nice enhancements like full IDP and SSL.
Interesting... I never knew Fortinet's executive leader (Ken Xie) was also the founder of Netscreen. Thanks for that info.
A similar spin-off of course is Palo Alto Networks, whose core team of engineers were originally Juniper guys. Perhaps even Netscreen guys from the "early days."
If you don't need all the hardware features of the SRX another option would be one the larger SSG boxes running the venerable ScreenOS - these can all be converted to Junos-based devices whenever you feel comfortable with the features as per the table below taken from http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/software/junos-es/
Table 8: Convertible SSG Hardware and Software
SSG Security Device with
ScreenOS 5.4 or Later Conversion Kit Resulting Services Router
Again - if you don't need all of the "all in one" capabilities the SRX provides this gets you on a path to Junos.
p.s. at the risk of sounding like a broken record...the SRX issues reported are (virtually all) software issues...and the software gets a major feature update every quarter and maintenance releases even more often. I am not going to promise perfection, but every release has been improving the product and we've made major changes to both our development and test methodologies (the upcoming 10.4 being a good example) to further improve product quality.
I would agree with grosshong here. Check out palo alto.
We have two SRX650's here, still not in production.
I've been trialing a palo alto box recently, and I've been very impressed. The routing functionality is not nearly as complete as the SRX, but for the actual, real, firewall things you want to do there is no comparison. The logging / interface / application recognition, etc is far far far better than the SRX.
srx is in constant growth and improvement.
actually have had many problems, but equally has presented the solutions.
the expectation of SRX is to be equal to or better than the netscreen, I think they have everything to do it.
each client is different, therefore their security solutions, so there will be things that some customers are affected and others not.
I like SRX that is flexible, it is difficult to understand but when it gets to the point that it knows it's easy to love.
each new release improves or solves the above problems.
I have difficulties like
the use of Active / Active cluster with UTM.
The use of VPN client groups and assign private address DNS, WINS at remote vpn. Some of these will be supported in 10.4.
knowledge of TAC about SRX
use licencing for dynamic-vpn
as they say, is a flexible and growth in cash, I hope that in the months closest we have a better perspective regarding these teams.
if you wanted to change the SRX my advise is netscreen firewalls.becouse the best of the best is netscreen "for me", it hurts to think out of business.
10-01-2010 05:13 PM - edited 10-01-2010 05:25 PM
I don't have much nice to say about the SRX'es other than the dynamic routing and CLI management is excellent. I definitely prefer JUNOS's CLI to ScreenOS any day of the week. That being said after working with these boxes since 9.5 and 9.6, dealing with the massive headache that was 10.0R2, and running into limitation after limitation on both chassis clusters and non-clustered devices I'm not exactly raving about these devices either. But I can't recommend a ScreenOS-based box because a majority of the hardware will be EOL'ed sooner than later.
Current Limitations I've noticed:
GRE Tunnels not supported in clusters
GRE Keepalives not supported at all standalone/cluster
Multicast traffic not working in chassis cluster (Yes it's addressed in 10.2, but that's not the recommended release atm)
VPN Clients requiring an external authentication server (RADIUS)
Firewall filters (protect_RE) preventing the SRX from getting updates for UTM
Updating UTM on the secondary SRX in a cluster
Managing an SRX in a cluster individually in an environment where I am accessing the SRX from the outside world.
Level 1 JTAC not knowing how to navigate the CLI, much less troubleshoot.
Whatever happened to Sidewinder?
Are you referring to Secure Computing's Sidewinder product? The one that team that took 9 months to release a patch so that smtp would work through their box properly?
No thanks. Never dealing with that product ever again. Had to reboot it all the time to workaround issues.

Don't miss the show critics are hailing as 'everything you want from a musical'(Hollywood News) with 'the best new score I've heard in London for a very long time' (Radio 4, Saturday Review). Tim Rice's 5 star production is set in Pearl Harbor, 1941, where the girls sing "don'cha like Hawaii", the men of G Company sing the blues, and where even on an army base, love and desire are never very far away. But as war approaches, the worlds of four lovers are about to be dramatically ripped apart...

Is Social Media Killing Your Relationship?
"I know that it might seem old-fashioned, but men and women are different," explains Dr. Eris Huemer, a licensed marriage and family therapist featured on Bravo's LA Shrinks. "We don't think the same, talk the same, or respond the same to similar situations. Women want to feel loved, cherished and safe. Men want respect." Since men often withdraw when they don't feel that respect, it's worth giving him the positivity he craves. "A man wants to know that you are focusing solely on him and that he is your priority. When you do focus on him, you will get so much in return."
It may sound obvious, but men enjoy a good ego-stroking, especially when they're not trying to impress. "Whenever my fiancé groggily tells me I look nice in the morning, before I head out the door for work, it makes me feel unstoppable for the rest of the day," says New Yorker Charles C., 30. "It's one thing to hear it if we're going out to a nice place, but when she tells me I look dapper when I'm on my way to the office, it gives me a renewed confidence."

Education is not about school, is the passion for knowledge.
It is very interesting to me that when ever we talk about education, we automatically thinks of school system and how bad they are at doing their job. True schools were build for the purpose of learning, however from my personal experience I would like to say it is not the only place to be educated.
When Sir Ken Robinson talks about education revolution, I think he missed some of the important points. To me, education revolution does not only mean school reforms, but going beyond schools. What I find so precious about learning out side of school is the willingness to acquire more knowledge. I become fascinated by the subject itself and uncontrollably wanting to know more about it. More importantly it gives me freedom to explore deeper and deeper, there is nothing called curriculum to limit you from learning.
Isn't that what we are trying to achieve in our school system but never succeeded? The true passion for knowledge and limitless curiosity.
I believe we are getting it wrong.School should not be the one and only place of learning. We are not giving our next generation enough time to find out all the possibilities of future. We live in such a complex society today, how can our children know about the lastest achievements when they are still learning knowledge centuries ago?
But please don't get me wrong, I still see school as an incredible place to learn knowledge and skills, and gather with people of the same passion. What I'm seeing is that the tight curriculum seems to be limiting potential
Here I'm calling for a change, to cut down the current curriculum and give children the time and opportunity to find out all the things that intrest them. Let our next generation explore the world freely, and pursuit their life's passion. By doing so they will acquire all the necessary knowledge, because that's what they truly wants to learn.
The value of education is the passion for it. If the children are passionate, why wouldn't they learn.
Lori Barber
May 28 2013: Learning Skills: Lisanne makes a good point about the importance of learning skills. I think schools should also focus on teaching key job skills, especially soft skills.
- +1
Self-Directed Learning: I think self-directed learning can be very useful and effective. But, students must first have the motivation and ability to make it happen. Maybe teachers could provide introductory instruction to help students get started. In grad school, my university offered a 3-credit self-study option. I had to apply and define the learning objectives, lesson plan, and text book, as well as find my own teacher. There was a lot of prep work, but it was a good experience. I produced something tangible that I felt proud of and learned useful skills.
May 30 2013: I absolutely agrees, soft skills are so important in the society and one without them can find it very hard to make a good living. Here in Ontario, Canada the high school curriculum has careers program which helps students with planning career path and job skills such as what you should do during an interview.
What I really think education should achieve is a motivation and a passion for learning. Many of my friends in high school has no idea what they want, and it's not uncommon. The whole point of giving students more time and opportunities is to help them find that topic they really care about and develops in to a life's passion. Form there, self-directed learning will occur naturally and very effective.May 28 2013: Hi, I too agree a lot with Sir Kenneth. But when he says the purpose of going to school is to learn that leaves me cold--that's almost as semantical as the purpose of reading a book is to study. Nonsense. Firstly anyone who sets out to reform education without a state of the art understanding of how much more we now know about ourselves than what theoreticians did when they committed primitive and dysfunctional assumptions to the Industrial Age Factory model system is part of a new problem and not part of THE solution. You might hear people extol the virtue of educational autonomy today while the very same person may never have heard the word neuroplasticity or if its implications, may have no idea that something we have taken for granted for eons called "sleep" is now known to have biological function tied to neuroplasticity which instead of being addressed with the simple understanding of differences in rates and patterns between individuals makes for need to accommodate individual sleep need differences which have until now been dealt with with medications that seek to artificially tame the brain into the appearance of a "normal attention" span. We know full well that the lecture model is flawed and not in synch with the technology kids can master, yet if they don't acquiesce to mid 20th Century views of normal passive class-room attitudes we brand the child attention deficient and prescribe a med or two or three. I am not against medicine and have benefitted as an adult from SSRIs, but the point is education has to start with getting US right and using the entire time spectrum like you imply to bend developmental apparatus to capture motivation. And motivation must be the horse put before the cart of learning otherwise the model of motivation has not changed from mere yielding of will to avoid consequence. And that is a pitiful motivational model. Everything we think we know about education must be considered disposable in favor of the ideal..May 27 2013: I partially agree with you. School is not just about knowledge, it's also about skills. The last couple of years, I came to see my education as a hurdle to being able to do what I want to do. It's not a facilitator, which I find depressing.
One of the great complications in education reformation, is in my opinion the emphasis on standardized testing. Not just the curriculum has to be changed, the way we seem to have a need for subject-related scores is detrimental to true education. I get that people want standardized scores to know the potential of a learner, but I think testing can be more focused on learning skills instead of subject-related knowledge that learners have crammed mindlessly.
May 27 2013: I totally agrees with you, school plays an important role in education, it's a great place to gain essential skills such a communication and a platform for the curious minds to get together.
I think I didn't quite express my idea clearly above.
The point I want to push across here is that school sets too much limitations on students. They designs the curriculum in a way that it feels like it is the one and only path to success in the subject. Using tools such as standardized testing as you said, it really limits other possibilities of different paths to success.
That's why I wish the curriculum to be redesigned, cut down the content and leave the teacher and students the time to explore other possibilities in the subject and great conversations of ideas. I have been studying in 3 different school systems, and every single one of them are trying to squeeze as much as possible in to the little calendar. The success of teachers seems to be dependent upon the completion of content, rather than the interest and curiosity of students. I mean most teachers are trying to accommodate them, but when the clock is ticking by we have to move on to the next topic.Jun 24 2013: Education is curiosity, sir Ken Robinson education revolution is a spin off of his first talk and offer solutions, doesn't necessarily mean his focus is on school reforms, but a proposition to change our school system, in essence your both stressing the same points.Jun 23 2013: Yes. I definitely agree with what you just said. I've just gave my last year exams at school, coming soon college.
Here in Pakistan, I'd like to tell you how we (middle class) ordinary citizens take education as; children are sent to school so that they, in the future, are not called as illiterate. Not for learning. High school certificate is more important here than that of the books which are firmly squeezed with information that nobody can demean.
Want the clear in school or college exams; bribe invigilator (they call it co-operation) a buck, you're done.Jun 22 2013: The passion for knowledge should be taught in school.Jun 11 2013: I find learning fascinating and always try to learn the most out of any topic that seems appealing to me. The point of schools is for motivation, to me anyways. It's hard to force yourself to read and write and repeat for hours on end, but when at school, you're there and it matters for your future so you might as well try.
I believe that more people would find school both educational and fun if it wasn't forced upon them as such a burden. There is no motivation nor is there any reason for there to be at such a young age when you begin. 7 subjects on average for 8 hours a day at the age of 5 all the way to 25 (assuming extensive college is tacked on) is a terrible way to give people a reason for learning.
We indeed should give more options and ditch core subjects until students find out what they actually want. I think this isn't done because then people assume that no one will want to learn and get a job if that happens. I believe they are wrong though, kids are well aware that they need a job when they get older. It's just that they should explore options as kids and then they need to have it be more advanced with the mathematics and such later on in life. Kids don't exactly enjoy the idea of becoming a bank teller for the rest of their lives.
Education is everywhere these days. Books are easily accessible from libraries and book stores and we have the greatest thing technology can offer- the internet- to teach us. It's often assumed that the internet is a false place for information, but that is a giant misunderstanding. You just have to know if it is a trusted or dedicated source. I've learned an entire subject on my own using the internet. People pass up the opportunity to get their dream job because they think they're incapable. Little do they know we have this great thing called the internet which does in fact have information on just about any topic.Jun 11 2013: Thanks everyone for the incredible comments here, it has been absolutely great to hear from you all .May 29 2013: Education is everywhere:)
May 30 2013: Right on the point!
When we talk about education, why it's school and school and school? I know it's important but they are ignoring all other amazing things in life we can learn from.
Happy learning :DMay 28 2013: School can certify mostly , education depends on one's learning agility , keeping that alive for life long is the challenge
May 30 2013: That's what I am trying to talk about! A passion for learning that will keep us going no matter we are in school or not. The school system are giving students rather than educating them about how to learn, and the tight curriculum leaves no time and space for them to be excited. It's interesting to see how students are more interested in the subject when things go off topic a little. If we can leave room for those off topic conversations and let students gain interest in the subject, it could develop into a life's passion and motivation of independent learning.
Thank you for your comment. I'm still figuring out how to present my argument forward and every comment give me a new point to think about the construction of my idea. I love the TED community here, and it is part of my education :PMay 28 2013: Magical words include self-learning, polymaths, and autodydacs. So education and intellectual achievement is so much more than school.May 27 2013: I'd have to say that some schools offer better tools to foster the passion for knowledge.
In a sense, it is about the school.
MichaelMay 27 2013: This may be quite different in different countries. I wonder whether schools in countries that top the charts on assessments that compare students across countries focus more single-mindedly on the details of the subjects that are tested while giving students less freedom than is customary in other countries to select projects that involve their own explorations. I notice you are in Canada, which is a country that does very well on internationally normed examinations.
Not only can students in some countries construct a program for themselves through their course selections (beyond the basic requirements or to meet basic requirements), but in many places students have many options to choose projects of their own within the common curriculum. For example, do you have science fairs? Opportunities to write for school paper or literary magazine? Choices of which art or music to pursue and which instrument to learn? Do you choose which books to read and share with the class? At this moment my son and a friend are working upstairs on a math project of their choosing which fully occupies the last two weeks of their math class. In the years I have taught secondary math, there was only one year that I did not have students spend several weeks on independent projects with my input.
I think the value of giving students choices and opportunity to pursue their special interests is very well accepted in the field of education! It seems to me that when I did my student teaching, how well we offered such opportunities was a criterion in our evaluation for readiness to teach.
May 30 2013: First of all thank you for leaving your comment here. I've had the idea for a few years and it's exciting for me to know how other people think about it.
It's great to hear you students loved what they are doing, and such opportunities were build in to the program as a criterion. I hope we can encourage these opportunities in different systems and offer them to students all over the globe.
When I was attending elementary school in China, every lesson was tightly designed. Questions were only asked by the teachers and answered by students. They don't even ask " Does anyone has questions?" in class, because there was no time for it, and I only realized how strange it was after studying abroad.
I was lucky to have private lessons by great experienced teachers during weekends, and there I gained all my interest in learning. She showed me the logical thinking behind the questions, and there was no need for equations because I can write them out myself. However my poor friends were board to death by the lessons in school, with tight the schedule no wonder why they didn't like learning.
Going to high school is even worse, by Grade 12 most students come home at 10PM. The pressure of University entrance exam so is high that forces students to study extra hard. The chinese high school only offer 2 options which students has to choose after first year of high school, Arts or Science. It's a very strange system, and had been criticized by the public for a long time.
Situation does vary from country to country, but I think schools across the world should in deed give students more opportunity to pursuit their fascination. I've seen so many people in their 20s and have no idea about what to do with their life. I was lucky to have a dream at the age of 16, and that was all because of what I had been doing in my spare time. I hope by giving students more time and opportunities, they could find their life's passion and a motivation for life long learning.May 27 2013: Yuting, I know exactly what you mean when you say, " I become fascinated by the subject itself and uncontrollably wanting to know more about it. "
And you are wise to acknowledge the limitations of a curriculum, "there is nothing called curriculum there to limit you from learning."
Your idea just made my day.May 27 2013: Yuting, you are right that curiosity is important. But you also need solid skills in order to do something with your curiosity. This could be a value of school, that it gives you those solid skills.
You do get to follow your interests in school. You do get to choose some of your classes, some people emphasize art, some science, some athletics. What is your major interest?
May 27 2013: Sorry that I didn't make my point clear, I do believe schools are important, and there is no way I would deny how much I have gained from schools. My point is while the students are learning the foundations of the subject and building up skills as they progress, they should be given more freedom to explore what interests them no matter what the curriculum says. More importantly, once they are curious about the subject, they will learn the knowledge and skills very fast.
The subjects in school do provide a great starting point, however it is not enough. There so many different specific areas within a subject that people find different interests in. In a Art class for example, some might realize they love painting, and other may find themselves enjoying sculpture. And them there are different types of painting, and they could paint different objects. Once they found out what they love, they will turn around and nagging the teachers to learn about colour, texture, how to use different brushes, what artists are working on similar topics. Because they want to know, when they are painting they realize how important those skills and knowledges are and therefore they will learn it. They understand by learning those some what "boring" things could make their painting much better, they will enjoy the process of learning compared to before.
May 28 2013: Yes, good point, Yuting. I'm not a great person to comment on this as in school I was a conformist, I just did what they told me. But there is something to be said for being exposed to a broad range of things, you might think you only like one aspect of art but if the teacher forces you to try some other kinds, you might find that you like them and are good at them. You might even find you prefer them to the one you originally you thought you only liked. But maybe not.
I would think someone who got intensely interested in one thing could go to their teacher and talk about their passion for this one thing and ask for permission to concentrate on it. Maybe the teacher will say yes, go ahead and concentrate. If the teacher says no, I would gently make the teacher state their reason, I would say, but I love this one kind of art because I think I can only make beauty in this one kind, or I love how the brush feels in my hand, and see what the teacher says to that. If you are dissatisfied with the reason they give for wanting you to try all the kinds of art, go over their head, go to the principal. Or you can wait and go back to them again later and say you are still finding the other kinds of art unsatisfactory. But you have to be very clear on why you prefer this one kind of art, and you have to reply very specifically to their counterargument. What are you going to say if they say, I, the teacher, think it would be better for you to try many things?
If you are really unhappy, you could get an early release from high school and start attending college. Or go to work.

James Allison reckons Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean will be Lotus' "trump card" this season...
James Allison reckons Kimi Raikkonen and Romain Grosjean will be Lotus' "trump card" this season.
Lotus were the first team to launch their 2013 challenger when they took the covers off the E21 on Monday.
However, it's not the car that technical director Allison believes will give Lotus the edge over their rivals. Rather, he reckons, it will be the team's two drivers.
"By far and away the biggest trump card we have to play this year is that we have got two drivers who start the year [in strong shape]," Allison told Autosport.
"One of them [Raikkonen] had a brilliant season last year and really got up to speed quite swiftly and no-one would deny that in the last half of the year his driving was absolutely top drawer stuff.
"Obviously, Romain had a few well-publicised moments and I think they will be useful lessons learned for him so he will have a much more productive year.
"We're going to start with two drivers that are properly competitive and are going to put a lot of points down the oppositions' throats."

We will be back in 2014 with an even bigger competition! 2013's competition rules are below.
Build a flying car!
Sounds complicated? It's not.
We're looking for students who want to build a vehicle no larger than a shoebox, slide it down a ramp and see if it can jump a gap. It's fun, it's creative, and you don't have to be a science fair genius to come up with a winning entry. We'll give you feedback, create opportunities to talk to experts, and give away great prizes.
Students from 6th through 12th grade in San Diego County are encouraged to take part.
Coach's Guide:
Welcome to the Flying Car competition! We are looking forward to seeing your imaginative ideas.
The idea, and the rules, are simple. Build a vehicle, let it slide down a ramp, and see if it can jump a gap! Everything else is details – and here are those details.
The overall size of the core of your vehicle can be no more than 16 by 8 by 5 inches – the size of a larger shoe box. The majority of your vehicle should be made from original materials (no model kits, pre-made cars, etc.).
If you wish (and you do not have to) we will also allow you to add wing-like protrusions from the side or top of your vehicle. They cannot raise the overall height of your vehicle by more than 2 inches. They cannot extend further than the front of your vehicle, or more than 2 inches from the back. They cannot extend more than 12 inches from the sides of your vehicle (12 inches per side). Balloons and parachutes can protrude no more than 5 inches from the vehicle.
Our ramp is 6 feet and 1/2 inch tall by 2 feet and 9 inches wide, and it is 6 feet long. The top platform of the ramp is 11 inches by 2 feet and 9 inches. The ramp surface, from top to jump, is 9 feet. The length of the drop from the top to the beginning of the radius is 4 feet and 9 inches with a 70 degree incline. The curve is an 18 inch radius, and the exit angle or release angle is 28 degrees. The landing ramp is 1 foot and 7 inches high (equal to the end of the jump ramp) by 2 feet and 9 inches wide, and the length of the landing ramp is 4 feet and 5 1/2 inches.
The ramp cannot be altered during the competition (such as water or grease being added to the ramp).
The ramp will gradually be widened as the competition proceeds. The gap will begin at two feet, then be increased to three feet, then three and a half feet. If necessary, it will continue to be widened a half foot at a time, at judge discretion, to choose a winner. The vehicle can overshoot the landing ramp and land on the floor; however, it does have to fly over the landing ramp. It cannot veer off to the left or right of the ramp. The vehicle has to run down the entire launch ramp, and can only take off from the end. Teams will be allowed extra time to modify their vehicle as the ramp distance changes if they request it, but will only be given four minutes per round to do so. Timing will be at the discretion of the judges.
Your vehicle can be as heavy or as light as you like. It can be made out of any material (as long as it is considered safe by the judging committee). It can have wheels, or not.
Your vehicle can have some internal power, or not. The power cannot be electric (no remote control cars, for example), nor gas powered (including compressed air, other than balloons), solar powered, nor use any other kind of fuel source (including chemical, such as soda and mentos). No flame of any kind can be used. Helium can be used under adult supervision, but no liquid gasses may be used. It can use internally-wound tension, such as a rubber band or a spring, if you wish, or it can use the gravity of the slope alone. The ramp will not have a backboard and so your vehicle will not be able to "push" off anything to begin (for example, a large spring). Teams will be allowed to prepare their vehicle (for example, winding a spring or blowing up a balloon) before releasing it at the top of the ramp. The vehicle is not allowed to spill anything (such as water), dig into the ramp surface, or otherwise do anything that might damage the ramp surface. Your entire vehicle has to make it across the gap and touch the ramp surface on the other side.
We love creative ideas, and we understand that the rules listed above may not cover every possibility that creative student minds might come up with. We're hoping, in fact, that the students are so creative that they will come up with ideas that have never occurred to us! The judging committee will however evaluate every vehicle from a safety point of view. We encourage you to contact us during your design process if you are unsure whether your design would be allowed.
STAGE ONE (ends January 7, 2013):
You'll need to form your team – which can be from one to five students. You'll also need an adult coach (it can be a teacher, parent, or other adult in a role of responsibility in your life). Their role is not to give you ideas or create your vehicle for you, but instead to help you meet and to submit the paperwork.
STAGE TWO (now until January 7, 2013):
You will need to submit your initial design to us. A person can be on only one team, and only one design can be submitted per team. This is what you will need to submit:
Your name, grade, coach's name, and either an e-mail or mailing address so we can stay in contact with you throughout the competition.
A drawing or photo of your design (you don't need to have made it yet to enter, but you'll need to have a detailed design draft). This can be no bigger than one side of an 11X17 sheet of paper, and should have the parts of the vehicle labeled to explain how it works. All measurements need to be labeled. Please make a copy for your own records.
We will ask you to provide an itemized budget for your items, because we want to see creativity, not the team with the most money winning. If items are donated or already in your possession, an estimated value should be placed on them. Using recycled or scrapped items may be a way to keep your costs down. An entry should not cost more than $30 in parts, maximum.
Your entry can be submitted via mail to the SDASM Education Department, 2001 Pan American Plaza, San Diego, CA 92101, and must be postmarked by January 7, 2013. It can also be emailed to email@example.com. We suggest you make copies of your work, and we cannot be held responsible for entries lost in the mail or not received via email.
STAGE THREE (January 7 - March 4, 2013):
Our judging team will then evaluate your entry, and choose which teams can move forward to the next stage.
You will then have the opportunity (at your request) to talk to our experts at the San Diego Air & Space Technology Low Speed Wind Tunnel ( http://lswt.com/ ) which is owned by the Museum. They may be able to provide advice on modifying your vehicle. This contact must be made via the competition organizers, and not directly with the wind tunnel. You also have the opportunity (at your request) to talk to Joe Caravella Jr., founder of Caravella Aerospace (caravella.aero) and developer of roadable aircraft, who may be able to provide advice on modifying your vehicle.
STAGE FOUR (March 16, 2013):
The big day! We'll hold the competition finals at the museum, and see how your car does on the ramp! We'll then pick the winners and award the prizes!
The ramp will gradually be widened as the competition proceeds. The gap will begin at two feet, then be increased to three feet, then three and a half feet. If necessary, it will continue to be widened a half foot at a time, at judge discretion, to narrow down to a winner.
Distance – We will award a prize for the vehicle that jumps the widest gap and is able to touch the horizontal ramp surface on the other size.
Creativity – What was it about your design that was new, special, original? We'll award a prize for original thinking, even if that vehicle does not jump the gap furthest.
There are two age ranges in the competition:
Grades 6-8
Grades 9-12.
Money scholarship prizes will be awarded.
First prize (one per age range): $2500.
Second prize (one per age range): $1500.
Third prize (one age range): $500.
Creativity prize (two per age range): $500.
We reserve the option to keep and display your entries in the museum and/or other venues, including online. We would love to show off your success!
Good luck and we will see you at the San Diego Air & Space Museum!

Adam Dunn tied an MLB Opening Day record with his eighth home run while John Danks (0-1) gave up three runs on six hits in six innings.
"Looking back, there's one pitch that I'd really just love to have back and that's the Kinsler pitch. He's hit me well since I've been up here," Danks said.
Robin Ventura, who played for the White Sox from 1989-98, made his managerial debut for Chicago.
With the game tied at two, the Rangers moved ahead in the home half of the sixth.

The Rangers manufactured a run in the home half of the first. Kinsler led off the frame with a double. He moved to third following an Elvis Andrus sacrifice bunt and Hamilton brought him home with a sac fly.
Kinsler gave Texas a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the third after drilling Danks' hanging breaking ball over the left-field wall.
The White Sox tied the contest with two runs in the visitor half of the sixth.
Dunn, trying to rebound from a disastrous 2011 where he hit just .159, led off the frame with a towering solo home run into the second deck in right.
With two outs in the inning and no one on base, Alex Rios was hit by a pitch. He scored from first on Alexei Ramirez's single into left-center field.
Dunn tied Frank Robinson and Ken Griffey Jr. with eight Opening Day home runs...Paul Konerko went 2-for-4 for the White Sox...Texas improved to 3-2 against the White Sox in Opening Day contests...Lewis' nine strikeouts tied Nolan Ryan's Rangers Opening Day record, set on Apr. 8, 1991 against Milwaukee at Arlington Stadium.

Deep Space Chronicle: A Chronology of Deep Space and Planetary Probes 1958-2000, Monographs in Aerospace History No. 24, by Asif A. Siddiqi
National Space Science Data Center, http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/
The Mariner 4 mission, the second of two Mars flyby attempts in 1964 by NASA, was one of the great early successes of the Agency, returning the very first photos of another planet from deep space.
Using a new all-metal shroud, the spacecraft lifted off without any problems and was successfully boosted toward Mars by the Agena D upper stage. A single midcourse correction on 5 December 1964 ensured that the spacecraft would fly between 8,000 and 9,660 kilometers from the Martian surface. Approximately 40 minutes prior to closest approach (which was at 01:00:57 UT on 15 July 1965 at a range of 9,846 kilometers), the TV camera began taking the first of 21 images (plus 22 lines of a twenty second) through red and green filters.
About 1.25 hours after the encounter, Mariner 4 dipped behind the right-hand side of Mars (as viewed from Earth) in order to refract its radio signals through the Martian atmosphere. Data indicated that surface pressure was quite low -- future Mars landers would have to be equipped with retro-rocket engines in addition to parachutes in order to safely land on the Martian surface.
The probe detected daytime surface temperatures of about -100°C. A very weak radiation belt, about 0.1 percent that of the Earth's, was also detected by Mariner 4. The day after the closest encounter, Mariner 4 began transmitting its photos back to Earth.
The images clearly showed Mars to be an ancient Moon-like body with widespread cratering. Given the thin atmosphere, scientists believed it unlikely that Mars harbored any life.
NASA maintained contact with the spacecraft until 1 October 1965, when the probe was 309 million kilometers from Earth. Two years later, in October 1967, the spacecraft was reactivated for attitude control tests in support of the Mariner 5 mission to Venus, which used a similar spacecraft bus. Final contact was lost on 21 December 1967.

Rockville's Mayor and Council may vote to approve construction of 144 new townhouses at King Farm during their meeting on Monday, after a developer said building homes in that community would be more profitable than building offices.
Michael Harris Homes and the Penrose Group development companies submitted the proposal to build new townhouses on vacant land at 900 and 901 King Farm Blvd. in the Irvington Centre section of King Farm, originally intended for offices, according to city documents.
The developers told the mayor and council that building offices on that land in the current economy would not be "economically feasible," said Rockville Mayor Phyllis Marcuccio, who supports the proposal to allow that land to be used for housing instead. Adding more homes could create a larger customer base for businesses in the city, Marcuccio said.
"We are not lacking in commercial capacity in the city of Rockville," Marcuccio said. "In order to have good retail and offices you have to have people there to make use of it."
If the mayor and council approve the proposal on Monday, the developers will work with the city staff to review site plans for the new development, said Councilman John F. Hall Jr.
The Mayor and Council voted 3-0 on Aug. 5 to request city staff to prepare a resolution approving the housing construction request. Hall and Councilman Tom Moore were not present.
The mayor and council have asked city staff to analyze the property tax potential for both offices and housing for that King Farm land, Hall said.
Hall said he is "favorably disposed" to the proposal to build housing once the mayor and the council review the property tax analysis to determine whether offices might be a more profitable development in King Farm when the office space market improves.
Moore said he is undecided about his vote and is also eager to see that data.
"Office space there in 10 years could be a better idea," Moore said. "If you make that land residential there is no going back."
Officials from the Penrose Group and Michael Harris Homes declined to comment because a key staff member was on vacation.
Before any houses are built, Hall said he would like developers to assess whether new amenities are needed for the Irvington Centre neighborhood, including perhaps a barrier to muffle noise from nearby Interstate 270.
"I don't want residents six years from now coming to the city saying, 'We need a sound barrier,'" Hall said.
Building and selling new office space in King Farm may not be as attractive as trying to sell new townhouses in this property market, said Cindie Harrison, a business development specialist at the Montgomery County Department of Economic Development. The amount of office space tenants entering the market "is fewer than it has been in years," Harrison said.
Of the existing commercial and retail properties in King Farm, 21 percent are vacant, which is an average vacancy rate for a development of that size in this property market, Harrison explained.
"We are seeing the same pattern all over the county. There are not many office space users out there," Harrison said. "Or they might renew their lease and renew with lower square footage."
Public facilities such as schools, water and transit would not be strained above capacity or trigger the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance if the proposed homes were built because the city accounted for the possible addition of residences in King Farm when the community was first developed, Marcuccio said.
The original plans for King Farm called for 3,200 homes, with the potential for a maximum of 3,600 homes if the Mayor and Council approved development, according to city documents. The construction of those 144 townhouses would bring the total of residences in King Farm to 3,344. Eighteen of the new townhouses would be designated for affordable housing, according to city documents. Residents of the proposed townhouses would attend the Gaithersburg High School cluster, and their addition would not exceed school capacity limits, the documents said.
