The Nook and the Kindle will both have new models this Spring or Summer if the rumor mill is correct. According to some, Amazon is working on a new nine inch version and Barnes & Noble (B&N) is working on a new device of its own while the tablet that both are trying to compete with, the Apple iPad will be announcing it’s newest iteration next month.
The first course in iPhoneography, or iPhone photography, is being offered at Kensington and Chelsea College, London. Which I personally think is a fantastic idea.
Almost 500,000 “app-related jobs” have been created in the U.S. thanks to the emergence of smartphones, tablets, and social networks.
How far has world come in 45 years? Believe or not, the television audience for the first Super Bowl in 1967 totaled more than 51 million people — it was broadcast (few people had cable back then) on both NBC and CBS. For latest iteration of the event, over 111 million watched on a television.
How not to tempt Apple fanboys away from their beloved: mock them while trying to sell them a phone/tablet that does neither thing very well.
Being addicted to your cell phone is not uncommon. Many of us have a hard time not playing with our phones even when enjoying a dinner out with friends. Just the other night, a friend of mine stopped in mid sentence to answer her phone. That doesn’t include the number of times she answered text messages while we were eating. My phone was dead or I probably would have been right there with her. Enter a new game called Phone Stack that is liable to cost one of us some money.
Apple has removed several chart-topping games from the U.S. App Store. All of which are claimed to be copycats of other, better-known titles.
Even the fanboys are starting to see how wrong Apple’s laissez-faire attitude to its supply chain workers is. Wonders will never cease.
I know we have to be careful in light of 9/11 and the increased security threats, but isn’t this taking things to the extreme a little?
Less is more, or so they say. They being Apple fanboys, usually. But perhaps it’s a good strategy for Android handset manufacturers to adopt at this point in time.
The people need to stand up and be heard, to tell Apple that they want the option to open their ‘i’ devices up by jailbreaking.
Whoa, nelly. Previously, analysts predicted that Apple’s Mac + iPad computers sales would make it the world’s largest “PC” vendor sometime within the first six months of 2012. So much for those rosy expectations — who thought that the Cupertino, California company would double tablet sales last quarter.
If your fridge has everything from a lettuce with icicles on it to butter that’s beginning to curdle, help could be on the way. A Norwegian firm has found a way to put tiny thermometers directly onto the packaging of individual food items.
The bigger they come, the harder they fall. Well, maybe someday (eventually). Until then, everyone’s favorite Cupertino, California-based fruit company controls more of the semiconductor market than anyone and that brings with it incredible perhaps unprecedented power over component supply and pricing, as well as ability to deliver products that no one else can.
While many people are still trying to figure out what “cloud computing” really means, various businesses specializing in cloud services are going after the U.S. government’s business. Companies like Box and Amazon Web Services are looking to pick up federal government business by providing extra security and specialized “cloud areas”.
A lot of people are all agog at Apple’s new iBooks Author App. Don’t be. Self publishing software has been around for awhile. Not only has it been around it has been used and is being used successfully to publish books that can be sold for more devices than just Apple’s. Rather than rushing headlong into software that will limit where your book can be read, look around and try out a few different programs.
By the new year I had pretty much used, consumed, worn, or broken everything I had been bought for Christmas. The same cannot be said of most people.
