Blackberry Empathy: CONCEPT DESIGN.



The new smartphone designed by Kiki Tang & Daniel Yoon which displays a very high-end touch to it with a mood detector by switching colours according to the user's moods. The new BB does explains a very different shape, size and finishing touches to a very futuristic look. Looks very modern to me. a fierce approach to iPhone, in terms of competition ? Probably. stay tuned. :)





my guess is that it would definitely be a nice phone. though, it's up to the company's brains whether to include a very good way to get more attention among people and how to get closer to the competitor, Apple iPhone. with iPhone 5 is on the verge of birth soon enough, it would be a good time for Blackberry to introduce a brand new close up model to the public. As we all know, Blackberry has been a hit to the people today, but with a new touch.. i think it would catch the eyes of iPhone lovers too, especially with this kind of design. A very elegance model indeed comparing to the previous ones. because to me, the normal BBs' are just too simple to be called smartphone. but with this one, YES. Yes, i might fall for this phone too in case it does come out in the near future. It'll be a very hard call to decide which one's the one. we'll see soon enough, aye ? B-)

Apple = Steve Jobs. Where The Story Began .


INNOVATIVE design has always driven Apple forward. With computers, they have gone from the boxy Apple II via the compact Macintosh Plus and stylish iBook laptop to the current-day iMac. The iPod was born in 2001, followed by the iPhone in 2007 and the iPad in April 2010. The iCloud storage system is set to be a future hit.



It is the latest chapter in what is an extraordinary life story.

Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, in San Francisco, to Abdulfattah Jandali, a Syrian student and later political scientist now known as John, and Joanne Carole Schieble. It was the 1950s and the couple were young and unmarried so the baby boy was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs. He retold his adoption story during a now famous address to Stanford University in the US in 2005.

He said: "My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student and she decided to put me up for adoption.

"She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. "Except that when I popped out, they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl.

"So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, 'We have an unexpected baby boy - do you want him?' They said, 'Of course'.

"My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college."

Jobs grew up in the town of Mountain View, California, among the fruit orchards that would one day become the technology hub Silicon Valley.

A(pple) team ... Steve Jobs with co-founder Steve Wozniak

The Bob Dylan fan showed an early interest in electronics. As a teenager he phoned William Hewlett, president of computer firm Hewlett-Packard, to ask for parts for a school project. He also landed a summer job with the firm where, as a 14-year-old in 1969, he befriended 19-year-old engineer Steve Wozniak.

Wozniak remembered: "We talked electronics, we talked about music we liked and we traded stories about pranks we'd pulled. "Typically, it was really hard for me to explain to people the kind of design stuff I worked on, but Steve got it right away. And I liked him. He was kind of skinny and wiry and full of energy." Jobs' parents then funded studies at Reed College, Oregon.

But despite his biological mother's wish for him to complete a college education, the future billionaire dropped out after just six months, later claiming it was "one of the best decisions I ever made". After spending time sleeping on friends' floors, he became interested in Eastern mysticism and took mind-altering drug LSD.

He said the acid trips were "one of the two or three most important things" he had done in his life. He began working for video game makers Atari before embarking on a spiritual trek to India. Aged 20, he took over his parents' garage and started Apple, copying the name of the record label of his beloved Beatles.


Groundbreaking ... Steve Jobs with Apple's Macintosh Plus in 1984

A year later, in 1976, Jobs and Wozniak designed the Apple I. In contrast to the firm's now obsessive design detail, the Apple I had no keyboard or display monitor and customers had to assemble it themselves. More models followed before the Macintosh became a 1980s sales hit. But Jobs was a hard taskmaster and clashed frequently with colleagues. He was ousted from Apple in 1986 following internal power struggles and a slump in sales.

However, by 1996 he was back at the then-struggling firm, which had come close to going under. In 2001, Jobs masterminded the launch of the iPod, which revolutionised portable music and kick-started Apple's commercial comeback. The firm have now sold more than 300million iPods.

Away from Apple, Jobs married Laurene Powell in 1991 in a Zen Buddhist ceremony. They have three children and Jobs has another born in 1978 to a San Francisco painter. Despite his huge professional success, Jobs has long been dogged by ill health. He was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2003 and had surgery to remove a tumour.


Nice (i)Pad ... California home where Jobs founded Apple with Steve Wozniak

In 2009 he underwent a liver transplant - a possible consequence of the cancer drugs - but after taking time out to recover, he returned to the helm at Apple. It is Jobs' extraordinary vision and courage that has enabled him to revolutionise technology.

He once said: "Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. "Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become." On the release of the iPhone in 2007, Jobs insisted the handsets were "revolutionary and magical". His genius at branding and promotion has helped Apple sell more than 100million iPhones worldwide. Despite Jobs' track record with the iPod and iPhone, many failed to see the potential of Apple's tablet computer, the iPad. Critics panned it as little more than an "enlarged iPhone" when it was launched in April 2010.

But Jobs was not for turning and Apple are expected to sell more than 44million iPads in 2011 alone having seen it establish itself as the go-to digital platform for newspapers, magazines and video. On August 9, Apple briefly surpassed ExxonMobil to become the world's most valuable company. Google chairman Eric Schmidt said of Jobs yesterday: "He uniquely combined an artist's touch and an engineer's vision to build an extraordinary company - one of the greatest American leaders in history."

Stephen Fry, a long-time admirer of Jobs, said: "I don't think there is another human being on the planet who has been more influential in the last 30 years on the way culture has developed." In June - returning from open-ended medical leave - Jobs launched the iCloud, a system that can store all electronic content wirelessly on Apple servers and "push" them to your devices.

It is a typical piece of Steve Jobs innovation - daring, groundbreaking and a technology that could soon be in every home. Jobs may have stepped down from Apple's frontline, but his spirit of innovation will still be what drives the company into the future.

iQUIT



APPLE boss Steve Jobs sensationally RESIGNED as the company's chief executive last night.

The computer genius, 55, has been on medical leave since January 17 for an undisclosed condition.The announcement will raise inevitable speculation about his long-term health.Jobs wrote in his resignation letter: "I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know."Unfortunately, that day has come."But the super-boffin, who co-founded the tech giant in a garage in 1976, will remain as chairman.Jobs battled pancreatic cancer in 2004 and had a liver transplant in 2007.

Cancer

Apple quickly announced his successor would be Tim Cook, the company's Chief Operating Officer.Jobs added in his letter: "I believe Apple's brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.

i have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you. "Jobs also oversaw the firm's renaissance with the iPod, iPhone and iPad.Industry analyst Ashok Kumar said Jobs' timing of his resignation was worrying for the firm's future. He said: "It's just ahead of the iPhone 5 release. The fact he is stepping down now is not a good sign."


Cook joined Apple in 1998. As operating chief, his oversight included sales, manufacturing and distribution."The the world will see in the next several years that Tim is a very uniquely gifted guy and Apple will be wildly successful under his leadership," said John Connors, a venture capitalist at Ignition Partners, who serves on the Nike Inc. board with Cook.

woww 3D Virtual Reality ? awesome much ! :D










Sony's testing 3D Virtual Reality games, with headsets and everything. Early '90s, here we come

Every five years or so, someone tips Virtual Reality to "really take off soon". Sony has been showing off its twin-OLED screened headset at conventions for a while now, but it turns out that the device's development behind the scenes is actually going way beyond a simple 3D delivery system. In Sony's R&D lab, it's now incorporating head tracking and even having specific games developed to work with it.

Better believe it - Virtual Reality may be making a(nother) comeback.Mick Hocking, senior director at Sony Worldwide Studios, told Develop: “At the moment it’s just a head-mounted display; the head isn’t being tracked – but that’s something we’re doing R&D on. I have to say, what we’ve done in the R&D projects has just been fantastic. We’re working with a couple of games at Sony that are experimenting with virtual reality type experiences.”

Playstation Vita


so it's true. rumors' out and finally over. the so called NGP (Next Generation Portable) a.k.a PSP2 is finally introduced to the world by the poduct company, Sony. a lot of speculations and ideas were brought up by the 'hardcore' lovers of psp. it's awesome as it's imagined. to sum up, it's the best thing to have. very futuristic and yes, still postable. ;)

the Vita will be listed at $249 for the WiFi-only model, or $299 for the 3G version. Sony's Kaz Hirai confirmed will be available exclusively through AT&T, with both models shipping worldwide toward the end of 2011. For those of you camped out overseas, prices are set for ¥24,980 (WiFi) and ¥29,980 (3G) in Japan, while those closer to that other pond will see tags of €249 and €299.

The device, also known as the PS Vita, offers up six-axis motion sensors, dual analog controls (proper ones, with thumbsticks), front- and rear-facing cameras, an OLED touchscreen, and a touchpad on the back, too. The company showed off a number of top-tier titles, including Uncharted: Golden Abyss, a hack-and-slash RPG called Ruin, a new ModNation Racers, LittleBigPlanet, and Street Fighter x Tekken, each showing off plenty of motion and touch interactivity... things that we couldn't be more elated to try for ourselves in due time. They're all looking quite good, and honestly a bit more advanced than what the 3DS has delivered so far -- for the same money.

iPhone 4G


  • The new design has metal sides, round volume buttons and it's almost a quarter thinner than the iPhone 3GS.
  • There is also a camera on the front of the phone for video calls and the second camera on the rear - much clearer at five megapixels - has an LED flash.
  • And a 'retina display' means four times the pixels can fit in the same space as before while the battery is improved with 40 hours of music and 300 hours of standby time.
  • Another key feature is multi-tasking which allows users to run more than one app at a time.
  • The phone looks exactly like the prototype first leaked after an Apple employee accidentally left it in a bar.
