Let The Life Of Steve Jobs Be Inspiration For Solving Mystery Of Cancer

A global gadget's tax

Steve Jobs could be having his last days with us mortals on Earth. His last battle...

Such an extraordinary man, such visionary, problem-solver, industry leader...

I wish there's somewhere in the World, visionary in the life science industry , working on fighting cancer disease and succeding. A man with pure passion and determanation to find a medicine for cancer.

The cure for cancer is more important then all gadgets and technologies of the World.
Life is every man's right. Health is every man's right.

All of us knew somebody who's having this uncurable disease. Healthy man and then suddenly he disapears...I've seen a lot of people around me who dissapeared just like that. It's astonishing.

Reminding all of us about cancer:

Cancer /ˈkænsər/ ( listen) (medical term: malignant neoplasm) is a class of diseases in which a group of cells display uncontrolled growth, invasion that intrudes upon and destroys adjacent tissues, and sometimes metastasis, or spreading to other locations in the body via lymph or blood. These three malignant properties of cancers differentiate them from benign tumors, which do not invade or metastasize.

I have a proposal for the mobile and tech industry.
Let us Steve Jobs all remind about the strong determination, passion for technology and his personal battle for health, his personal battle for life.

Let every mobile phone sold in the World brings $ 1 - 3 of the selling price for the benefit of the account specially dedicated to cancer foundation for funding life science projects that are trying to find the cure for cancer.

Once and for all.

You can be billionaire or poor but what gives if your body and mind is attacked by such disease...


Updated on October 6th, 2011.

Steve Jobs ( R.I.P. ) once said:

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure -- these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

iPhone 6

Vision Well Ahead. Enjoy

iPhone Costs

Reminder to myself sometime in the future. Got iPhone 3GS in March ( 22.03)with 24 month contract at T-Mobile Croatia ( tariff i150 ).

Upfront cost is 3.000,00 kuna, 6 months paying 75,00 kunas, 18 months paying 150,00 kuna ( 1GB data, 150 minutes to all networks, 50 sms ).

In all, it's 1.080,00 dollars or 848,00 euro.

- we're thrilled to bring consumers an action-packed app with which to explore and experience MythBusters
- publishers large and small — not to mention wholesalers, retailers, and Amazon (AMZN) — are still scrambling around like a teenage girl before a date. When the doorbell rings though, they’re all in danger of being caught with their pants down
- Few have come to agreements over pricing and availability of e-books, much less author advances and royalties
- because it accepted Apple’s agency terms (Apple gets a 30 percent cut, publishers get to set the retail prices)
- And RH’s blockbusters – Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol sold 100,000 e-books its first week out, or about 5 percent of total sales for the book — represent a small, but rapidly growing, segment of the market
- starting with what they’ve historically done well ( publishers) : acquiring intelligently, editing and designing properly and marketing appropriately
- Publishing blogger Mike Cane notes that this very important detail was largely overlooked by Apple in the rush to get iPad to market and cautions publishers to sit up and take notice
- We won’t browse: we’ll search. We’ll want to find what we want, buy it, and start reading it. But without the metadata to help us along, buying is not going to be a smooth process. Apple will lose money — and more importantly, writers will lose money
- To maximize revenue, publishers need to be able to use it in every possible market and every available format ( experiment is not costly here )
- entry into the e-book market has shaken up its pricing structure. Apple has offered book publishers what has been termed an "agency model" for pricing, in which they get to control the price of books offered for sale via the iPad's software
- But even with the touchscreen and accelerometer inputs, some games just need more traditional D-pad or joystick controls. The question is, why aren't third-party accessories available to give us this control?

- No page-turning business...you swipe left/right to page through stories and then scroll to read through single stories
- the first magazine on the Mag+ platform, and you can get it on the iPad tomorrow. It’s the April 2010 issue, it’s $4.99, and you buy more issues from inside the magazine itself
- We found little games to play with the reader, having them assemble infographics in the act of scrolling, and making pages that span multiple panes, only revealing themselves when the reader does a double-finger swipe to zoom across them
- And InDesign integration so art directors are in control, not technologists. And an e-commerce back-end capable of handling business models suitable for magazines. And a new file format, “MIB,” that strikes the balance between simple enough for anyone to implement, and expressive enough to let the typography, pictures, and layout shine. And it’s set up to do it all again in 30 days. And more
- Gizmodo makes me want. But do I NEED?!
- Kind of begs the question...why weren't these great little apps being developed for any platform before? I recognize the difference in how one interacts with the content, but I would enjoy these on my Macbook with trackpad input as well. They make a typical browser window look so clunky
- A lot of them are iPhone carryovers, and a lot of them cost more than you might be used to in the App Store economy. Both are valid observations! But for a first batch, these apps do look rather spectacular
- Quite simply, more developers are building more apps for the device. Indeed, the rush to develop for the iPad has even affected the iPhone, which, though it continues to rule the market, saw it’s share of app starts slip to 67 percent from 78 percent
- Apple has published a list of “iPad Ready” websites
- The sites are all big league sluggers like CNN, The New York Times, People Magazine and MLB.com. Surprisingly, there are also a few video-heavy sites in the mix (Vimeo, Flickr, and TED) which would traditionally rely on Flash Player for video playback
- There’s no agreed-upon video format for HTML5, and the support varies greatly from browser to browser
- But that path — coding multiple versions of a website for multiple browsers — is precisely what developers have been trying to avoid for the last decade. It also opens up a can of patent license worms ( complexity is not good )
- Here at Google we’re really excited about the promise of tablet computers, which will be great for browsing the web and using apps,
- If you go to gmail.com in your browser, you’ll see something different than what you’re used to on the desktop. We’re releasing an experimental user interface for the iPad built on the Gmail for mobile HTML5 web app
- As with Mac computers and the iPhone, you’ll find Google Search in the top right corner of Safari
- particularly excited by how tablet computers create the opportunity for new kinds of user interaction. Here on the mobile team, we often talk about how mobile devices are sensor-rich: they can sense touch through their screens, see with a camera, hear through a microphone, and they know where they are with GPS
the hotly awaited apps for the iPad are some media-related ones, including a few from Conde Nast — Wired magazine and Vanity Fair — as well as the New York Times, Associated Press and Bloomberg
- NYT, USA Today, Financial Times are free, at least initially
- The iPad opened up a host of new and better ways to shop for homes, and we’ve designed a photo-driven home shopping experience built specifically for the Apple’s interactive multi-touch device
- we’ve re-imagined home shopping as a photo-led shopping experience. View large images of multiple homes side-by-side; quickly flick thru preview photos of one home versus another, or pick a home and browse large, nearly full-screen images
- I cannot wait for this device to come out. It’s so going to change my business. We are getting closer and closer to virtual reality it’s amazing. Looking forward to the future in real esate
- They should just make a standards based web version so you can run it in the background
- Apparently I forgot to pre-order the ipad...what to do tomorrow!?!
- Thinking freehand drawing in OmniGraffle for iPad might make an excellent carry-able away replacement for a whiteboard
- Perhaps more importantly, the devices access books from different online bookstores
- If you buy a Wi-Fi-only version of the iPad and have a Wi-Fi connection at home, or you want to use the iPad primarily at coffee shops or public places that have wireless Internet connections, then you probably won't have to deal with AT&T at all
- The iPad has a Wi-Fi connection, which, in theory, could be used for printing documents wirelessly through your printer. There is some debate online about what apps will perform this function
- No USB port is a deal killer for me. I understand Apple's need to control the experience and USB being an open standard opens a big can of compatibility worms
- everything is moving to wireless... having to physically attach to a device is not the future, it's rapidly becoming the past
- A work in Progress if you want.It is a proof of "having balls" and flying away from what is safe and proven.USA should be proud of Apple for being the BRAVEST tech co
- I'm not going to be able to get one because iBroke
- it's a new class of product that will appeal to different people for different reasons
- Hold the iPad opinions 'til you've used one, please
- I WANT AN IPAD. My heart beats faster just thinking about it. Or maybe that's my double-latte talking
- According to the blog over at Flurry, iPad developers are in the race for a piece of the…Pad. Within the past 60 days, iPad projects comprised 22% of total new project starts on the site
- Wow, so there are about 20,000 different emails in my inbox today announcing iPad games/softwarehttp://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=3288809
- Microsoft's iPad Strategy: Ignore It
- iPad signals the future of software. There are two old software models. The first is where the software runs on your laptop -- this is the Microsoft model embodied by Office. The second is the software as a service/cloud model with the software running on a server somewhere out on the Internet -- this is the Google and Salesforce.com model. I'm simplifying, but in the former, the software runs on a local device. In the latter, the software sits out on the network
- Software on a powerful device seamlessly (that's the key word) cooperates with services available out on the network
- But as CEO, you should be aware of the possibilities that the iPad is presenting you -- to change how software works within your company and to change the way your customers will connect to your company (Hyundai is already pursuing the latter). The first could lower cost and promote efficiency; the second could increase revenue
- Use them for four or five months. When September comes around, sit down with your executives and ask a simple question: "Can we use this device to improve our business?"
- It's really interesting how people with no experience on the iPhone are hating on the iPad
- David Letterman Before Licking an iPad: "It's Like an Electronic Slinky"
- Trying to talk the hubs into developing iPad apps. Then iPad = write off. :)
- Apple’s Ipad Bet Requires ‘leap of Faith’ From Buyers
- As if in anticipation of tomorrow's crush of traffic, AT&T's 3G network in NYC has been already erratic all week
- First in Line for iPad Also Camped for Original iPhone
- I want to know if the iPad can also be used as a weapon for self defense.. Is there an App that sprays pepper spray?
- iPad For your Entertainment,

Highlight: Young iApple Developer

He's on stage like a young rock star.

His name's Pierce and is 14 years old and comes from Bay Area ( US West coast ).
Proud developer of CardShare app, recently approved by Apple in the AppStore.

An Interview explains a lot:

What does your CardShare application do?

Pierce Freeman: It allows you to exchange a virtual business card without any paper. You can include both personal and social networking details such as your name, phone number, e-mail address, and Twitter or Facebook details.

Twitter and Facebook. That's probably more important to a 14-year-old like yourself than, say, the business card aspects of it.

Maybe. But since I run an animal photography business and do Web design, I will be using my app quite a bit, as well as the regular details.

How many lines of code actually went into this application?

On both the server end and the client end, CardShare took over 11,000 lines of code.

What kind of software are we talking about? Is this Adobe software or Apple software? What did you use to create this?

Despite the Flash anxiety that's surrounding the iPad and the iPhone, I used both Adobe and Apple's software to create this. More specifically, the graphics in the application were done in Adobe Photoshop. In order to scale down and scale up the icon, I did it in Adobe Illustrator. Then all of the programming was done in Apple's Xcode or Espresso, which is a Web design utility.

When did you find time to develop this app?

I did this whole thing primarily out of school. I talked to some of my friends and teachers briefly about how they would use an app like this. But most of the sketching and everything was done at home, after school or on the weekends.

Presumably they don't have an iPhone application development class at your school? Or at least not yet?

Not yet. I may start that one.

Have you taken any formal programming classes?

No, I haven't. I'm completely self-taught.

So when I was your age, we used to program on Texas Instruments TI-83 calculators. Does anyone do that anymore?

I don't. I think that in some high schools they do program on graphing calculators. But that is out of my level of expertise.

So where do you find other people at your level of expertise? Are there communities out there where you can find people like yourself?

I have never met another 14-, 15- or 16-year-old, even a 17- or 18-year-old who programs for the iPhone and for the Mac and then integrates this with Web services. I assume there are maybe a very select few out there, and I'm very proud to be one of them. But there's definitely not some online forum or other discussion site where I could interact with kids. So I had most of my questions answered by the really nice people in the Mac independent software community. They guided me through the steps to create this, and I'm really appreciative for all their help

iPad Begins Online Retailing Process

Consumer interest insane, almost irrational

Insane online retail starts today for the most hyped gizmo in the World, namely iPad , preorders are possible through Apple Store USA.

Demand is incredible, and I am not sure, how this early adopters become so fanatical. Apple factor is never to be underestimated. This is bigger pent-up demand compared to iPod and iPhone launch ( OK, maybe not for that one ).

Good thing about the data plans will be that it won't require long contract binding.

First generation of iPad will be interesting to explore and see the usage in the first two months , how will people put it in a real use and what kind of creative content it will bring. What will work and what not.

iPhone apps will use much bigger screen estate. Not sure how many of those 150.000 apps will look nice in a full screen landscape mode.

There are things I am especially eager to see; iBooks - e-book renessaince ( special book experience ), newspaper and magazines monetisation opportunities, HD video delivery, and last thing; is there a market for desktop grade applications on the iPad.

iWorks sold by Apple for about $ 10,00 is interesting start. I think in a matter of few monthts, we will be able to use some amazing productivity and entertainment apps with a whole new paradigm in design.

Cloud computing element is interesting to see as well.

I think, we as consumers shouldn't judge iPad before we have a chance to put it in action and spend some time with the gadget.

So, only time will tell. We'll find out that very soon. However, We should lower our expectation, at least for know.
The quirks and shortcomings of the first generation will be almost certanly corrected in later editions.

Note to Apple; you should make iPhone nano device with more phone centric design, smaller form factor.

The iPad starts at $499 for the 16-gigabyte model with only Wi-Fi. The 32GB model is priced at $599 and the 64GB version sells for $699. The models with both 3G and Wi-Fi cost an additional $130.

Free delivery from April 3rd.

Let the games begin. This time, it is expected by some influental commentators like ARM Holdings people that iPad , in its first year, will face compatition from about 50 vendors .

But Apple's having ready and proven ecosystem - platform ( iPhone, iPad, iPod development ) which is unifying force and developers are able to port code, have fun and make money .

If you are not Apple fanatic and uber-geek, you should check some potential competion in the months ahead and wait for consumer decision.
I mean at the first place on these future products: HP Slate, The Notion Ink Adam, JooJoo, Archos Home Tablet, Dell Streak, Dell Mini, Entourage Edge, Asus Eee tablet, Compal tablet, MSI tablet, Quanta, Que tablet etc. Qualcomm and Nvidia with its chips will play almost equally important role.

It is significant news that Google is somehow left behind in this game. Google Android tablet will come to life sooner or later, but this time Google is latecomer.

Just like other big players, Nokia and Intel.

Old Glory Of Comics Brought To You By iPad

Panelfly - only week away ?

I grew up with comics. It was the way I learned reading during my childhood even before my school time. I was smart kid and comics did help me a lot.

These were black and white editions of mass comics like Zagor, Tex Viler, Commandant Mark, Black The Stone, Alan Ford, Marty Misteria etc. My father bought me one every time he would get back from the business trip.

Maybe I could do the same one day for my kids. Thanks to iPad, Sugarcube ( former Apple engineers ) ,Panelfly...and many others brave iPad heroes trying to make a decent digital comic product.

Panelfly will be out in a week or so.

You can read your book, watch videos that enhance the story and connect with authors and your friends through social media all on one screen, without switching between platforms.

Vooks are available in two formats: As a web-based application you can read on your computer and a mobile application for reading on the go. With the web-based application you don't have to download programs or install software. Just open your favorite browser and start reading and watching in an exciting new way. You can also download and install the mobile applications through the Apple iTunes store and sync them with your Apple mobile device.

Maybe I am wrong. Time will tell. If Apple doesn't do it then who will ?

Oh, I bought some iPad domain names today ;))

See you on 27th this Month.

Apple and RIM are profit cows

5 % market makes total of 58 % operating profits

Wall Street Journal: Smart indeed

The two accounted for only 3% of all cellphones sold in the world last year but 35% of operating profits, according to Deutsche Bank analyst Brian Modoff. The disparity will become even starker this year when, he estimates, the two will take 5% of the market in unit terms but 58% of total operating profits.
