of steve jobs love letter to his wife

Steve Jobs Love Letter To His Wife: According to the sources, this letter has been written by the Steve Jobs to his wife on the 20th anniversary of their marriage.

We didn’t know much about each other twenty years ago. We were guided by our intuition; you swept me off my feet. It was snowing when we got married at the Ahwahnee. Years passed, kids came, good times, hard times, but never bad times. Our love and respect has endured and grown….

“We’ve been through so much together and here we are right back where we started 20 years ago – older and wiser – with wrinkles on our faces and hearts. We now know many of life’s joys, sufferings, secrets and wonders and we’re still here together. My feet have never returned to the ground.

Chinese bloggers have also translated the love letter to Chinese.

of steve jobs: "i'm going to destroy android"

'Steve Jobs swore to destroy Android': In a new Steve Jobs' biography to be released soon, Steve Jobs said

I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40bn in the bank, to right this wrong. I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this.

Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson (original title "iSteve: The Book of Jobs")

Steve Jobs swore to "destroy Android" in his anger over what he saw as outright copying of Apple's ideas in Android phones unveiled early in 2010, according to a new biography being released following his death this month.

Walter Isaacson, Jobs's official biographer, says Jobs was livid in January 2010 when Taiwan's HTC introduced an Android phone with many of the popular features of the iPhone. He launched into an expletive-laden tirade in which he said Google's actions amounted to "grand theft".

By that time Eric Schmidt, then Google's chief executive and still its chairman, had left the board of Apple where he had served between 2006 and 2009 – crucially, covering the period during which the first iPhone was launched and which enabled Google to negotiate a deal to provide search, maps and its YouTube video service on the phones.

of 1-year-old thinks magazine is an ipad

A Magazine Is an iPad That Does Not Work

Technology codes our minds, changes our OS. Apple products have done this extensively. The video shows how magazines are now useless and impossible to understand, for digital natives. It shows real life clip of a 1-year old, growing among touch screens and print. And how the latter becomes irrelevant. Medium is message. Humble tribute to Steve Jobs, by the most important person : a baby.

Steve Jobs Tribute Logo Becomes Viral Sensation: A graphic design student in Hong Kong is making waves with his Apple design, which features the late Jobs' face.

19-year-old Jonathan Mak Long created a black and white homage to Jobs in the form of an Apple logo, featuring the former CEO's face in place of the bite mark. The design was initially created in August, following Jobs' surprising departure from the company he helped build, but sparked a frenzy on the web after his death.

of the best iphone 5 rumors

The Best iPhone 5 Rumors We've Heard (So Far Today): Time Techland reports compiles new rumors of the iPhone 5. Some tips. There is a iPhone 4S? The iPhone 5 might be getting the iPad 2's slick processor. An Italian blog called macitynet.it got their hands on a reportedly leaked case for Apple's iPhone 5 which suggest the iPhone 5 having curved edges.

Spotted in the wild: the iPhone 4S?

Engadget got their hands on this alleged screenshot of AT&T's internal system showing something called the "iPhone 4s White" under a category called "Model Versions." The iPhone 4S is rumored to be a more affordable version of the popular iPhone 4, with a scaled down 8GB hard drive to lower costs and penetrate emerging markets, at least according to Reuters. Then again, perhaps the "s" is just plural for multiple iPhones.

The iPhone 5 might be getting the iPad 2's slick processor

MacRumors has photos of either the iPhone 5 or the iPhone 4's new innards, which consist of a new logic board with the same super-fast A5 processor as the iPad 2. The images were taken from a Chinese microblogging sited called Weibo and are currently making their rounds throughout the blogosphere. Gizmodo points out that if these photos are the real deal, then the higher-capacity battery could also mean that we'll see improved battery life. (Thumbs up!)

New case leaks point to a bigger screen, and yes, curved edges

An Italian blog called macitynet.it got their hands on a reportedly leaked case for Apple's iPhone 5. Last week third-party manufacturers Case Mate came under fire for accidentally publishing early images of what the next iPhone's case is going to look like. These pictures seem to point to the same curvy design. Head over to maccitynet to see more shots. If these pictures are real, it means that the new iPhone will be bigger than the current model and could have the rumored 4-inch retina display. Curved edges? At this point they seem like a lock, and if anything, the new iPhone 5 is shaping up to be a miniature version of the iPad 2. Not a bad thing.

The World’s Grossest Pencil Case

When you think of pencil cases, it’s hard to believe that there could be one as utterly disgusting as this. Combining Japan’s love of food with its original approach to stationery, this Hokke Mackerel Pencil Case looks like a fish that was split down the middle. And as you can see, it looks just as disgusting as it sounds. Since Japanese cuisine often presents hokke fish cut in half and grilled on both sides, this pencil case is true to life and truly gross. Please don’t send your child to school with this. $75

Nintendo Gets Sued Over The Wii

Ever heard of the Wavit remote? It’s totally okay if you haven’t; that’s not what this story is about. The Wavit Remote’s makers on the other hand… Well, they’ve decided to up and sue Nintendo over the Wii. Not only that, but they’ve included other retailers and manufacturers — including WalMart — in the complaint as well. And they’ve chosen the setting most likely to yield a win: the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Texas.Now, that’s not to say that Wavit makers ThinkOptical will get a win, but this particular court circuit tends to favor the patent holder over all else.The patent in question, U.S. Patent Number 7,796,116, is titled “Electronic equipment for handheld vision based absolute pointing system.” ThinkOptic’s primary argument in the case is that Nintendo had previous knowledge that the Wii would infringe based on the Trademark Office’s rejection of certain claims in Nintendo-filed patents, reports Law360.
