When choosing the right path to follow in tech, it is important to think where we should be, do we follow the road that Google leads or travel the path of Johnny Appleseed? Robert Frost’s timeless poem seems appropriate Continue reading “Where will Google’s path lead? I chose the path less traveled, its made all the difference” » |
The next iPhone will probably be the last hands on iPhone Steve Jobs took an active role in developing, if true then we can make a few predictions about its design. Apple got it right with the iPhone 4s form factor, easy to navigate with one hand, not too big to carry and not too small to read clearly. If Apple does indeed introduce a larger screen with its next iPhone , I believe they will maintain the same form factor while increasing the screen size, with innovation and miniaturization this is possible , here’s how.
John Gruber of Daring Fireball fame lays out a strong case. tv

It would appear that we are at a reaching point of useful new features in IOS. At least ones I can name off the top of my head, However with all new technology we can not predict what Apple or other parties have dreamed up. For now this is my wish list for IOS 6. Not necessarily in order of priority order. tv
Please fill the comments with your ideas! I will publish them and credit you in an upcoming post tv
“Our job is to ensure our silicon is so compelling, in terms of running the Mac better or being a better iPad device, that as they make those decisions they can’t ignore us,” Otellini said.
The problem for Intel is two fold, First; this happens only if Apple is able to customize Intel’s chip to their specifications in order to maintain its dominance over competitors. Many reviewers neglect to credit Apple’s customized chips for the smooth user experience Apple can create by this process. Android like the Windows platform suffers from lowest common denominator approach to satisfy the many hardware accommodations needed to support their system. Second: Currently Apple’s ARM processors are produce by its untrustworthy manufacturer Samsung. Apple knows enough not to put all it’s eggs in one basket the beauty of ARM is that Apple can choose from many manufacturers, their problem encounter with Samsung is one of huge supply, Apple is working boldly to help other producers come up to speed, see related post below Maybe Intel can be trusted but they would have to supply a very compelling product, which I think is what Otellini is referring to. tv

How’s that “Don’t be evil” mantra working for you Larry? Maybe it’s time for a change , how bout this, “When it gets tough to compete, Cheat!” it is worth noting here that for all the years Apple has been in Business it has always relied on competing fairly , in contrast, in Google’s short existence it has in hippie vernacular “sold out” relying on persuading government officials to discombobulate the playing field to their advantage. In Larry’s reorganization efforts he should consider jettisoning all of Eric’s self destructive initiatives. tv

Is that really why Apple has become, per Politico, a “punching bag” for lawmakers?
FORTUNE — I might feel differently about Apple’s D.C. Lobbying Effort Has Yet to Ripen, the 1,450-word piece posted on Politico Wednesday, if I hadn’t just listened to Take the Money and Run for Office, This America Life’s brilliant hour-long expose of how Washington, D.C., influence peddling really works.
For those, still confused by Apple’s success, think about business decisions like the two described below as well as similar ones, like, building facilities in conjunction with or financing construction of its manufacturers development in return for exclusivity or supply preferences. This is classic Tim Cook and in his speciality just as innovative , deceptively simple and as courageous as Steve’s gift for product design. At Apple to ” Think Different ” is ingrained in its DNA. tv

In late March, Apple’s Foxconn supplier in China promised to reduce workers’ hours and stabilize their pay in response to the Fair Labor Association’s audit of the company. Apple supported the decisions, and in a statement released at the time said it shared the “goal of improving lives and raising the bar for manufacturing companies everywhere.”
Today, it is being reported that Apple and Foxconn will share the costs to make the sweeping changes to the factories and assembly lines. Foxconn CEO Terry Gou told reporters, including Reuters, in China that Apple “sees this as a competitive strength along with us, and so we will split the initial costs.”

Samsung now understands that it is at the mercy of Google’s Android flubs, under attack from one of their largest customers Apple, sees a chance to own the asian market. Dropping Android would solve all their problems. If not for the fact that Microsoft poses the same threat as Google minus the lawsuits they might even move to Windows Phone. tv
