Rumor: Apple and AT&T working on tethering deal (4)
on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) (6333) permalinkFiled under: Analysis / Opinion, Hardware, Software, Odds and ends A few weeks back on the Talkcast, we had an interesting little discussion about just where Apple's boundaries were on the App Store -- so far, you really only get kicked off if you charge too much, if your apps vibrate wrong, or if you steal someone's copyright. Oh, and there's that one more little exception: if you provide folks with the ability to tether ...Contribute comment

Javier Berneri shared as favorite Steve Jobs no está muerto (2)
on ALT1040 (1252) permalinkAunque muchas personas están preocupadas por la salud de Steve Jobs, definitivamente el CEO de Apple sigue con vida. Por un error humano la red de noticias financieras Bloomberg publico el obituario que tienen preparado para el día que muera el fundador de Apple y creador del iPod.

cnBeta.COM_Steve Jobs_ 福布斯:乔布斯深陷健康传言 5大使命未完成 (2)
on CNBETA (195) permalink《福布斯》杂志网络版28日刊文指出,作为苹果公司的创始人兼CEO,无论其个人健康情况如何,史蒂夫·乔布斯(SteveJobs)仍有五大使命尚未完成. 最近几个月,乔布斯的身体健康状况成为了业内关注的焦点,甚至有人怀疑他癌症复发.而偏偏就在这个“关键”时期,美国彭博社周三下午却错误地发布了乔布斯的讣告. 讣告对乔布斯的评价是:“他把计算机变得像手机一样易用,他改变了动画电影的制作方式,普及了数字音乐,引领了手机设计新潮.”尽管彭博社很快扯下该讣告,但是比将给人们留下一些遐想. 在乔布斯的领导下,凭借独有的创新意识和无与伦比的产品质量,苹果的Mac计算机、iPod播放器和iPhone手机均取得了巨大成功.但有分析人士认为,乔布斯仍有以下五项工作尚未完成: 1. 平板电脑 iPhone手机所采用的触摸屏技术已经被应用到iPod产品中.但苹果暗示,iPod并不是采用触摸技术的惟一产品.有分析人士认为,苹果很将提出一款融入触摸技术的平板电脑.瑞士信贷分析师比尔·索普(Bill Shope)认为,苹果短期内推出平板电脑的可能性很大. 2. 电视 年初,调研机构Forrester Research在一份报告中首先提出了该想法.随后,苹果联合创始人史蒂夫·沃兹尼克(Steve Wozniak)也暗示苹果将推出自己设计的电视.如果这样,Apple TV将重获新生. 3. 遥控设备 对于拥有控制欲望的乔布斯而言,推出一款遥控设备几乎是不可抗拒的.事实上,苹果已经向这方面努力.例如,苹果已经开发出一项应用,允许iPhone和iPod用户利用遥控器来控制计算机或Apple TV上的内容. 4. 电子书阅读器 亚马逊的电子书阅读器Kindle已初获成功,但仍美中不足.除了设计上的不足外,Kindle更缺乏成功的业务模式.不像苹果iPod,把设备与内容紧密结合. 5. 个人计算机 图形用户界面和鼠标都不是乔布斯发明的,但他却第一个把这两项技术应用到计算机中,并吸引了用户.Mac计算机已推出24年,但时至今日,键盘仍然是人机对话的主要方式.随着触摸技术的普及,相信乔布斯在改进人机互动方面应该有些想法. 0 顶一下Shared by abe (166) myheimu (224)Contribute comment

Steve Jobs Is Dead Still Alive (1)
on Dealbreaker (40) permalinkRelax. Steve Jobs is not dead even though you might have read his obituary yesterday on Bloomberg. The financial news service was updating its obituary on Jobs and accidentally published it on its wires. "It was momentarily posted on the external wire, in error, and immediately deleted (within thirty seconds)," a spokeswoman for Bloomberg told DealBreaker. It's not likely many were fooled into thinking the head of Apple was dead. It was full of blank ...Shared by f.shamsi (24)Contribute comment

Bloomberg Accidentally Kills Steve Jobs, on Paper (3)
on Boy Genius Report (683) permalinkNote to Bloomberg: When you make revisions to your prepared obituaries, don’t publish them. That might sound a bit obvious but in light of yesterday’s snafu we thought we might hammer the point home. That’s right people, Steve Jobs died for a few minutes yesterday - but only in the minds of those who read with shock as Jobs’ obituary crossed the wire from Bloomberg. As if Jobs’ health hasn’t been called into question enough ...

ブルームバーグが誤ってジョブズの死亡記事を配信 (2)
on Engadget Japanese (302) permalinkFiled under: アップルブルームバーグが27日に、間違ってアップル CEO、スティーブ・ジョブズの死亡記事の草稿を配信、後に撤回するという事件がありました。米国の様々な媒体が伝えるところによればジョブズ死亡はまったくの誤報で、御本人は生きていらっしゃるようです。ブルームバーグからどのような記事が配信されていたかについては GAWKER の記事で知ることができますが、それによれば「(実際に死亡が確認されたときに)コメントを求めるべき相手: スティーブ・ウォズニアック、ジョン・ルビンスタイン (元 iPod 事業担当)、Heidi Roizen (ジョブズの元彼女)、ラリー・エリソン、アル・ゴア、ビル・ゲイツ、...」といったものや、「株価が下落した場合: この株価の下落は投資家やアナリストには予想されていたことで...Gene Munster によれば...ジョブズがアップルを去った場合には25%程度は下がることが予想されていた」などの内容が用意されていたようです。新聞社などではこの種の死亡記事を準備しておくのはよくあることで、今回もそうした準備稿を誤って配信してしまったものと思われます。[Via Engadget, CNET]Read | Permalink | Email this | CommentsShared by o san (114) きっづ (269)Contribute comment

Glitch in system causes pre-written Jobs obituary to be sent out prematurely (1)
on MAC.BLORGE (2) permalinkIt is common practice to pre-write the obituaries of celebrities. By having their job history, details of surviving family members and information about a lifetime of achievements pre written it makes it much easier to get the obituary out on time in the event of their death. Morbid, to be sure, but a necessary evil in the news business.

It seems that someone was updating Jobs’ lifetime achievements and accidently posted the 17-page history out on the interweb. So no, the father of all that is Apple and good is still alive and kicking. This brings up a great thought though. The man is sick. Cancer sick. Steve has been battling pancreatic cancer since 2003 and it ...
