GadgetDesigners Push the Limits of Size, Safety
By Brian X. Chen, August 28, 2008

Just as small, fast-moving mammals replaced lumbering
dinosaurs, pocketable gadgets are evolving to fill niches that
larger, deskbound computers can't reach. But as they shrink,
these gadgets are faced with problems mammals face, too,
such as efficiently dissipating heat.

The recent example of Apple's first-generation iPod nanos
causing fires in Japan raises the question of whether
increasingly innovative product designs are impinging on
safety. The nano incident illustrates how risk can increase as
devices decrease in size, says Roger Kay, an analyst at
EndpointTechnologies.

"As [gadgets] get smaller, the tradeoffs become more difficult,
the balance becomes more critical and there's less room for
error," Kay said. "I'm not surprised it's happening to the nano
because that's the small one. You're asking it to do a lot in a
very, very small package and that's pushing the envelope.”

There's no question that industrial designers' jobs have
become much more difficult as the industry demands ever
more powerful and smaller gadgets. With paper-thin
subnotebooks, ultrasmall MP3 players, and pinkie finger-
sized Bluetooth headsets becoming increasingly popular, it's
questionable where exactly designers draw the line between
innovation and safety.

Dumping your entire music collection _____ your iPod is a simple, one click process. But what about getting your music _____ your iPod?

Comentários
  • "dumping"- despejar, esvaziar.
    Podemos traduzir o trecho como:
    Esvaziar sua coleção de música em seu iPod é um processo simples de apenas um clique. Mas, e tirar suas músicas do seu iPod?

    A preposição que acompanha o verbo "dump" é "onto" (  utilizada para expressar movimento)
    No caso do verbo "get", a preposição usada seria "off". Get off - tirar, remover

    Desta forma consideremos a alternativa D como correta.

  • Estranho. Achei que fosse a E

    Dumping your entire music collection __onto___ your ipod ( despejando sua inteira colecao de musica sobre o seu ipod) 


     Despejando sua inteira colecao de musica no seu ipod e simples.    ( agora com into) 

      Ora, se esta dizendo um movimento para dentro entao se usa INTO. 


    Onto = sobre algo ( deve estar fazendo movimento)

    Into = dentro de algo ( deve estar fazendo movimento ) 

  •  d)onto / off;

    Onto && into significa a mesma coisa neste contexto (inserir algo com idea de movimento). Geralmente se usa onto quando se trata de equipamento eletrônico e.g.: Dumping a ROM file onto a cartridge, Transfering a file onto a computer etc. Off tem conotação de remover algo.

    Both onto and into can be used similarly with one caveat: onto is usually applied to devices with processors embedded in them. Thus you use on even if it means data located inside a digital device, with onto implying writing some digital format data into a memory register on a computer.
