Innovator. Visionary. Prophet. Words once used to describe Apple co-founder Steve Jobs by his devoted iFans, and now associated with the creator of “Ali G”, “Borat” and “Bruno” in a Cupertino-parodying publicity stunt for a new feature length comedy called “The Brothers Grimsby” or simply “Grimsby.”Before shouting blasphemy however, you should check out the surprisingly tasteful and subdued film ad. In it, Sacha Baron Cohen channels his inner Jony Ive and Tim Cook, unveiling to a familiar hall of enthusiastic followers his most likable, idiotic character yet.But “The ...

Back in 1997, the then “Apple Computer” was just a few weeks from filing for bankruptcy when its executives decided to pull the crazy stunt of re-hiring a guy they had fired more than a decade earlier because of being a rebel. You might remember him as Steve Jobs, the infamous and ruthless CEO who later killed products like the Newton, among almost every other Apple product, in order to focus on just a few specific computer lineups. If people thought Jobs was crazy for wanting to make computers personal in the 70s, reducing Apple to a bare minimum in the 90s was considered ...

Sony pictures is still on track to build a Steve Jobs biopic in the next coming years. We’ve heard rumors of “The Social Network’s” director David Fincher in-charge of the movie, and Christian Bale playing the leading roll of Steve Jobs, but recent reports claim that Sony wasn’t able to land a monetary agreement with Fincher. Obviously the fact that a new director had to be cast for the movie will ...

When Steve Jobs announced the iPad in 2010, I do remember that he never really used the phrase “Apple is re-inventing the tablet” as he did when the company launched the iPhone. Still, Apple’s bet in actually focusing on portability and affordability to make this tablet a mainstream product, and not a niche and expensive one, like Microsoft had, was a bold bet all together. We all panned the iPad when it was announced. I remember that it took me a full 11 months to decide to buy one, simply because I found no reason to buy a big smartphone. I kept repeating to myself that I didn’t ...

Whether you are an Apple fan or not, it doesn’t matter, as we’re all technology addicts, and, as such, we have to remember Steve Jobs for dramatically changing our lives, and the gadgets we hold today. The man who co-founded and ran Apple has turned his visions into parts of our lives. He changed the way we think of, and perceive, smartphones, tablets, computers, media players, online music purchases, and a lot more. Steve Jobs died on October 5, 2011, just one day after Apple introduced the iPhone 4S. His legacy, however, as well as the products he envisioned and built, are ...

As we were all preparing for today’s live coverage of Apple’s iPhone event, Brandon made a statement behind the scenes that we all agreed with: “It would’ve been great if Steve Jobs was still around”. I know that not all of you have good thoughts about Steve, or Apple for that matter, but I’ve always been of the mentality that we should honor people where honor is due. Apple didn’t invent the GUI, and still, if it wasn’t for the first Mac, we would’ve probably ...

We all know that Bill Gates is happy where he is, and doesn’t want to return to Microsoft as a CEO. He’s publicly stated it repeatedly, and that has been a fact for a little over a decade. Still, every time I go through Microsoft’s current situation, I can’t deny how much of a déjà vu this is to the story of one of Microsoft’s closest rivals. Larry Ellison was recently in the spotlight because of his comments regarding Apple’s leadership. The now billionaire CEO that created Oracle and that made it what it is, was also Steve Jobs’ best friend. In ...

If you watch or participate in any of Apple’s keynotes, you’ll always here the words: “Amazing, iconic, beautiful, cutting-edge, gorgeous, etc., etc.” Any salesman will stand in front of you to try to sell you their product, and in some cases, they’ll do so without believing in it, simply because, like everyone, they too need to make a living. Still, there are some products that deserve praise, and most of the Apple products we’ve seen in the last decade are on that list. Still, you’d be amazed at the fact that I wasn’t too happy with the ...

As Tim Cook, Jony Ive and Craig Federighi revealed iOS 7 today, a lot of things crossed my mind. iOS in a way is very different to every other operating system. In the case of Android, it doesn’t matter how much thought Google puts into their OS, OEMs have all decided to change it and enhance their experiences on top of it. In the case of Windows Phone, even though the design is unified, the approach each OEM has given to design and software enhancements defines your choice for the product. In the case of iOS, Apple approaches the product differently. Company executives have always ...

Later we talk about the iPhone, as it’s rumored that the next two versions of the iPhone were decided on when Steve Jobs was still alive.
