A volte tecnologia è arte s'incontrano e il connubio è sorprendente. Specialmente se i protagonisti sono la Apple di Cupertino e il suo guru, da poco scomparso, Steve Jobs. L’occasione è offerta dal Museo Regionale di Scienze Regionali di Torino, che sino al 26 febbraio 2012, ospita un’esposizione dedicata al fondatore della Apple dal titolo “Steve Jobs 1955 – 2011”.A volte tecnologia è arte s'incontrano e il connubio è... more

Apple has posted this video of the tribute to Steven P. Jobs, which took place last week at the Apple campus in Cupertino, California. The event, “A Celebration of Steve’s Life,” was held to commemorate Mr. Jobs, who died this month after battling pancreatic cancer.
The video begins with Timothy D. Cook, Apple’s chief executive, who shared thoughts of Mr. Jobs’s work at Apple over the years and noted that no one in attendance would be working at Apple if it wasn’t for Mr. Jobs. “There is one more thing he leaves us; he leaves us with each other,” Mr. Cook said. “Other than his family, Apple would be his finest creation.” Mr. Cook also said the last piece of advice Mr. Jobs gave him was “to never ask what he would do; just do what’s right.”
Following Mr. Cook’s speech, Al Gore, the former Vice President and an Apple board member, spoke. Some of Mr. Jobs’s favorite musicians played at the event. Norah Jones sang the Bob Dylan song “Forever Young.” The British band Coldplay performed “Fix You” and “Yellow,” while thousands of Apple employees listened and helped celebrate the co-founder’s life.
This piece includes photographs and the full video of the commemoration.

Steve Jobs is building a 150 acre compound in Cupertino California to house his 12,000 iTroops for the coming Applegeddon, and there's precisely not a single damned thing that you or any god being to which you have pledged your eternal soul can do about it.
The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing people that getting a discount by signing a two year contract agreement was ever a discount at all...
"iLand" as it will have come to be known to the scattered future rebels fighters of "iYear 41", has been presented to the Cupertino City Council as a new state of the art, environmentally friendly, self sufficient headquarters for Apple Inc. and in a city like Cupertino, where the only form of entertainment is sitting around and watching each other slowly die, this is surely spectacular news.
The plan is being welcomed with open arms by the Mayor, Gilbert Wong, who after being unplugged and booted up said in a statement that Cupertino is excited that Apple is moving forward with a new campus. "We know that we will be looking at a state-of-the-art facility and all the challenges and opportunities that go along with that," the Wong mark IV transmitted to media outlets via his built in wireless Airport card before once again powering down and being plugged back into the wall.
The Tron data disk shaped building sitting on 150 acres of land (that Emperor Jobs absorbed into his own essence after beheading Bill Hewlett and David Packard in a mountain top sword fight filled with lightning and magic) will be four stories tall, with an additional four floors of subterranean "parking" and will be able to generate it's own power. "I think what we're going to end up doing is making the energy center our primary source of power, because we can generate power with natural gas and other ways that can be cleaner and cheaper, and use the grid as our backup," Jobs said.
When asked why the Emperor chose to use air quotes when referring to the lower levels as "parking" he told the petulant upstart council member that he would "see for himself" before firing his Matter Disassembler eye beam iBeams, seemingly vaporizing the man in question and filling the otherwise silent council chambers with his thunderous, mirthless laughter.
"It's a little like a spaceship landed." Jobs joked about the proposed design to the council, eliciting a mandatory response of howling laughter from the remaining un-banished council members at the prodding of the Emperor's elite guard. Like a "spaceship" has "landed", why, such a notion couldn't be further from the truth! Spaceships are the thing of fantasy and children's stories. Sure, it has the look of a space craft from science fiction, but that's simply because the Emperor, in his limitless wisdom and flair for dramatic, poignant imagery has simply chosen a figure which represents the endless, seamless shape of the infinite, while at the same time, in employing a design with no corners he is emphasizing to his enemies that there are no corners where you can hide, no shadows to protect you from his all seeing gaze. Spaceship? That makes him laugh every time.
In fact, what the Jobs has here is not a vehicle in which to travel through space at all but instead a transdimentional focal singularity generator to bring space to him. It is a bridge, as it were, to all known realities, from which Emperor Jobs can launch his troops on endless conquests of the infinity of potential dimensional planes. And it certainly hasn't "landed", that's just preposterous. No, it's actually been there for decades. Only now as its construction has been completed in the "Void-Space" between dimensions will the new headquarters begin phasing into this plane of existence. See, nothing so fantastical as "a spaceship landed".
Plans are expected to be submitted to and approved by the Apple implanted iPoliticians on the Cupertino City Council by 2012 and iLand is expected to fully materialize on this plane of existence and be ready for stage seven of Apple's trans-galactic conquest operation by sometime in 2015.
Of course the new iLand 2, which will be 13% larger, only two stories thick and fully equipped with an extra 3.8 million cameras is expected to be completed six months later.

iOS 4.0 has been around for several months. Announced back in March for the iPhone platform, iso 4.2 finally brings the iPad and iPhone platforms in sync. As usual, I've gotten my hands on the iOS 4.2 beta for iPad and iPhone, and will discuss some of the features of the new version, and stay away from the lengthy problems that have plagued me since upgrading.

Matt Peterson and Kristy Gough Memorial Dedication and Ride
SATURDAY Oct. 18th, 2008
8-10am, 7:30am recommend arrival, Cupertino Civic Center, 10350 Torre Avenue, Cupertino
The City of Cupertino has graciously sponsored a permanent memorial in honor of Kristy and Matt at the site of their crash. There will be a memorial ride to the site of the plaque, followed by a brief dedication ceremony. On Sunday, March 9, 2008, two bicyclists were tragically killed in the foothills of Cupertino. Weather permitting, permanent memorials will be dedicated to Kristy Gough and Matt Peterson. Please join us for this brief ceremony as we honor the memory of our friends and family who have passed. Guests will cycle up McClellan Road to Stevens Canyon Road, near the site of the accident. Those driving by car should go directly to the memorial site, as the road will be closed to automobile traffic once the bicyclists get under way. Shortly after 9am there will be some brief comments and an unveiling of the plaques.

The consensus estimates for iPhone sales figures for Apple’s Q4 (calendar Q3) were calling for approximately 4 million units. It now appears that Apple has sold at least 7 to 7.5 million iPhones in Q4 -- nearly 80% above consensus. Apple has far surpassed even Gene Munster’s bullish estimates of 5 million iPhone sales in Q4 according to the data.
At MacWorld 2007, when Apple was trading at the same price it is today, Steve Jobs and Apple set a bold goal of selling 10 million iPhones in 2008. Despite Apple’s consistent reassurances of meeting its goal, bearish analysts repeatedly raised irrational concerns about whether Apple could reach such lofty sales figures. In January, Bernstein Research analyst Toni Sacconaghi, an analyst who rarely comments on Apple, started the “missing iPhones controversy” which led to a herd of naive analysts to reduce their iPhone sales estimates to numbers that fell well below Apple’s 10 million iPhone goal for 2008. Sacconaghi forecasted that Apple would only sell 7.9 million iPhones in the period. This obviously put considerable pricing pressure on shares of Apple in February.
Kathryn Huberty of Morgan Stanley estimated that Apple would only sell 9.3 million iPhones for the year. Apple now appears to be on track to sell nearly double that number. Yet, Huberty and Sacconaghi weren't the only ones to grossly underestimate the company's iPhone performance. Keith Bachman of BMO Capital also jumped on bandwagon in February when he estimated that Apple would only sell 8.5 million iPhones in 2008. Scott Craig of Bank of America also maintained bearish iPhone estimates in February with an 8 million iPhone sales target. Several other analysts followed suit and are now likely to be proven wrong.The consensus estimates for iPhone sales figures for Apple’s Q4 (calendar Q3)... more
