Steve Jobs Explains(Think Different) - Touches the Soul of Apple

"Very complicated world very noisy world, Were not going to get a chance for people to remember much about us, no company is... so we have to be really clear on what we want them to know about us...


It honors the ones who've changed the world, some are living some are not, but the ones that aren't if they were alive, they'd be using the Mac..  Apple at the core it's core value, is we believe people with passion can change the world for the Better."  -Steve Jobs

Wall Street Journals Mossberg on iPad - video

Grace, Beauty, Feels good in the hand. "Holding the internet in your hand and making it more intimate".

Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg highlights some big points:
+ Out the box day one will run iPhone Apps... 140,000 apps
+ Starts at $499 that's' huge traditionally for a company that sells
expensive products. Will be a big problem for the netbook market and
the Dells, Lenovo etc... that go after the low price market.
+ 10 Hours of Battery life(no lightweight laptops can go 10 hours)
+ they made their own chip, allows them to charge a lower price

Steve Jobs on 60 Minutes -the Beatles Are my business model

Steve Jobs talks to 60 Minutes about his business model. He says it's like the beatles, for guys who keep each other in check.

"My model for business is The Beatles: They were four guys that kept each other's negative tendencies in check; they balanced each other. And the total was greater than the sum of the parts. Great things in business are not done by one person, they are done by a team of people."

Orange sells $3500 for a iPhone in Uganda???

I'm sure this won't last long but it sure is madness and exploitation. And it's not a April Fools joke.  These guys are dead serious.  I wonder what Steve Jobs thinks about this...

Orange Uganda Chief Executive Philippe Luxcey said the initial excitement that has been registered for the service is immense.

“Since we announced the arrival of iPhone on Orange, we have already seen several hundred customers register their interest on our Web site, orange.ug,” Luxcey said.

“We will be matching their enthusiasm with a 3G+ mobile broadband network that covers more people in Uganda than any other operator, a commitment to deliver the best 3G+ experience on the iPhone and best-in-class applications and plans.”

The iFlex price plan will offer 400MB of data traffic, 300 minutes of local calls and 240 SMS per month, while the iMax plan includes 800MB per month of data traffic.

The iPhone models on offer range from an 8GB iPhone to a 32GB model with prices ranging from US$1,421 to $3,421.

Steve Jobs, Bill Gates on original ideas

how-to iphone stream live video Knocking

Google fires back @ Apple by removing Apple from search results

In a rare somewhat childish move, it is reported that Google has: "removed all search results leading to Apple.com from its index. Google is also redirecting searches for "iPhone" and "app store" to the IMDb.com page for Payback."

They say it's a coincidence but the trash talking between Google's VP Marissa Mayer and Steve Jobs may suggest otherwise. "Steve Jobs hinted that another strange coincidence might occur soon. "Safari may be getting a different search engine, just saying," said Jobs.

"Oooh, I'm shaking," said Mayer
.

The root of this is Apple's growing yay or nay stance as to what goes on the Apple store... Some argue what if Microsoft had to approve every application? When Microsoft added the Explorer to every PC it was an outrage. Now when Apple adds Safari to every phone it's sweet:? Well Google not to be outdone with Chrome OS will be adding more sweetness by making the browser the OS...

Well truth is while these companies are bored because of the position of wealth power and tiny competition: other companies out there are doing their work and will evolve to the likes of Facebook and make these lame scuffles childish.

Steve Jobs rocking at Cold Play Concert

Would it be cool to be at a cold play concert and meet one of the greatest inventors/businessman... Who's ideas have revolutionized industries and peoples lives? Well that was the case for band members and VIP's back stage at a recent Cold Play concert.

“I’ll be honest with you folks, the only thing that mattered to me tonight was the presence of one Steve Jobs. I’m a confirmed Apple devotee and I really cannot imagine doing the job I do now (or even having got into this line of work) without my Macbook Pro (and all the Powerbooks that went before it). Creating these tools and putting them into the hands of folks like me was the vision of this man…"

“I spot Steve chatting with Dave Holmes outside the dressing room and suddenly feel like a star-struck teenager. In order to get the gall up to speak to the guy, I down a double espresso. The mixture of caffeine buzz and feeling like a cheesy little fanboy means that all I can manage to say to him is “Thank you so much”. I realise that I’m quite simply making a tit of myself and so excuse myself as fast as I appeared."
