Steve Jobs Is Dead At 56

Steve Jobs — the man who brought us the iPhone, the iPod and the iMac — has died. The co-founder of Apple was 56 years old. Jobs had been battling a rare form of pancreatic cancer for years.

Jobs was just 21 when he co-founded Apple Computer in his garage in Cupertino, Calif., in 1976. The following year, when Jobs and his partner, Steve Wozniak, released the compact Apple II, most computers were big enough to fill a university basement or came from do-it-yourself kits for hobbyists with soldering irons.

On August 24, 2011, Jobs announced his resignation from his role as Apple’s CEO. In his letter of resignation, Jobs strongly recommended that the Apple executive succession plan be followed and Tim Cook be named as his successor. Per his request, Jobs was appointed chairman of Apple’s board of directors

 

Rest in peace Steve.

What Is The “S” In Apple iPhone 4S? What Does It Mean?

Though all the fans of Apple are mourning as Steve Jobs passed last night, the world cannot but continue to discuss the amazing creations he left behind. So, we will continue to write about iPhone, iPad, and more. So, what is the meaning of the “S” in iPhone 4S?

The new iPhone 4S sports several new features designed to enhance its appeal to users. These include a new dual-core A5 processor for faster performance while maintaining battery life, a higher-resolution 8-megapixel camera to take sharper pictures and video, and the availability of 64GB of NAND flash memory to provide greater capacity to store more songs, apps, movies and other content.

Wall Street initially reacted to the iPhone 4S introduction by sending down Apple’s shares by 5 percent, although the stock price recovered most of that decline by the close of the market on Tuesday.

Most observers attributed the Wall Street letdown to the fact that Apple didn’t roll out the iPhone 5, with rumored features including a new form factor, near-field communications (NFC), a larger and higher-resolution display and support for long term evolution (LTE) 4G technology.

However, some of the disappointment also may have come from the fact that Apple didn’t announce a true low-end iPhone model. IHS defines a low-end smartphone as a smartphone that has an unsubsidized price ranging from $100 to $150.

Simply, Apple gave us iPhone 4S with the “S” meaning “slight changes”.

[Editorial] Lessons From IBM, Intel Funded Nanotech Hub In New York – Nigeria Needs IBM Engineers, Not Just Salesmen

Five computer chipmakers, including IBM and Intel will create a nanotechnology hub in New York, Bloomberg reports. They are committing $4.4 billion over five years for the venture. One part of the project led by IBM will spend $3.6 billion to develop two next-generation computer chips that will be used in supercomputers and consumer electronics. The other parts will focus on silicon wafers which are used to create integrated circuits or microchips.

The venture plans to develop technologies to increase the size of standard wafers which could double the number of chips cut from each wafer and lower prices.  For New York, the investment by the companies will result in 6,900 jobs either retained or created.

Tekedia has a simple question to Nigerian leaders: we need a solution and effort like this, led by some of the MNCs in the nation. We need to create the ecosystem that will drive them to see value in the country through quality education and solid infrastructure. Until the nation does that, we may not attract this type of investment – only the sales men from IBM and Intel will be coming to our nation.

Nigeria needs more IBM and Intel engineers than their salesmen. A  $1 billion investment to fund a center like this will create jobs and opportunities than selling IBM servers and Intel chips will not do in ten years. Time is running out because very soon, everything will go to Kenya and Ghana. We need to bargain as Brazil is doing by asking companies to invest in the nation, than selling. Apple listened and through Foxconn invested billions just to have access to the Brazilian market.
