Siri


Siri is an intelligent personal assistant and knowledge navigator which works as an application for Apple's iOS. The application uses a natural language user interface to answer questions, make recommendations, and perform actions by delegating requests to a set of Web services. Apple claims that the software adapts to the user's individual preferences over time and personalizes results, and performing tasks such as finding recommendations for nearby restaurants, or getting directions.
Siri was originally introduced as an iOS application available in the App Store by Siri, Inc., which was acquired by Apple on April 28, 2010. Siri, Inc. had announced that their software would be available for BlackBerry and for Android-powered phones, but all development efforts for non-Apple platforms were cancelled after the acquisition by Apple. 
Siri, Inc. was founded in 2007 by Dag Kittlaus (CEO), Adam Cheyer (VP Engineering), and Tom Gruber (CTO/VP Design), together with Norman Winarsky from SRI International's venture group, and is named after SRI (although Kittlaus claims he wanted to name the daughter he never had "Siri", Norwegian for "beautiful woman who leads you to victory", he cites as primary "the fact that [it] is easy to spell [and] easy to say". On October 13, 2008, Siri announced it had raised an $8.5 million Series A financing round, led by Menlo Ventures and Morgenthaler Ventures In November 2009, Siri raised a $15.5 million Series B financing round from the same investors as in their previous round, but led by Hong-Kong billionaire Li Ka-shing. Dag Kittlaus left his position as CEO of Siri at Apple after the launch of the iPhone 4S.[11]

The Genius Man Steve Jobs



Steven Paul "Steve" Jobs ( February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011) was an American entrepreneur. He is best known as the co-founder, chairman, and chief executive officer of Apple Inc. Through Apple, he was widely recognized as a charismatic pioneer of the personal computer revolution and for his influential career in the computer and consumer electronics fields. Jobs also co-founded and served as chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios; he became a member of the board of directors of The Walt Disney Company in 2006, when Disney acquired Pixar.

In the late 1970s, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak engineered one of the first commercially successful lines of personal computers, the Apple II series. Jobs was among the first to see the commercial potential of Xerox PARC's mouse-driven graphical user interface, which led to the creation of the Apple Lisa and, one year later, the Macintosh. By introducing the LaserWriter he enabled a revolution called desktop publishing.

After losing a power struggle with the board of directors in 1985, Jobs left Apple and founded NeXT, a computer platform development company specializing in the higher-education and business markets. In 1986, he acquired the computer graphics division of Lucasfilm, which was spun off as Pixar. He was credited in Toy Story (1995) as an executive producer. He served as CEO and 50.1% majority shareholder until Disney bought Pixar in 2006.Jobs received 7% of Disney shares, and joined the Board of Directors as the largest individual shareholder. By 1996, Apple had failed to deliver a new operating system, Copland. Gil Amelio turned to NeXT Computer, and the NeXTSTEP platform became the foundation for the Mac OS X. Jobs returned to Apple as an advisor, and took control of the company as an interim CEO. Jobs brought Apple from near bankruptcy to profitability by 1998.

In the year 2012 NC, the present day, Messiah's underlings, called Vaglass, attempt further incursions to gather enough Enetron to bring their master back. However, training for this day, the Go-Busters and their Buddyloids are deployed to combat Vaglass's Metaloids and Megazords to protect the city's Enetron from them. 
The Go-Busters consist of three children who survived an accident 13 years ago at the Energy Management Center concerning the Vaglass virus program that went haywire on the Energy Management Center office's main computer, obtaining superhuman abilities in the process, along with side-effects.

iPod Nano 2012 ( 7th generation)


Apple outs refreshed iPod nano 25inch multitouch display, 16GB, Bluetooth, available this October for $149
With news of Apple's shining star, the iPhone 5, out of the way, the company's shifting focus to its other major pillar: the iPod. Now seven generations in, the iPod nano is getting a refresh with a 38-percent thinner profile and svelte 5.4mm thickness. The multitouch screen now measures 2.5-inches across and sports a physical home button right below. Also packed in to this evolutionary PMP leap is an FM tuner with DVR-like functionality for playback control, Bluetooth radio (for wireless streaming support), inbuilt pedometer and, of course, that slimmed-down Lightning dock connector. And, according to Cupertino, this wee media player should last for up to 30 hours, making it the longest lasting nano the company's ever built. You can snag this 16GB lil' fella in a near rainbow of colors -- seven in all -- this October when it goes on sale for $149. Official PR after the break. 

iPod


iPod adalah merek serangkaian perangkat pemutar media digital yang dirancang dan dijual oleh Apple (Hewlett-Packard juga sempat menjual produk tersebut dengan nama Apple iPod + HP). Nama "iPod" juga dahulu merupakan nama salah satu varian pemutar media digital dalam rangkaian tersebut (varian ini kini disebut "iPod classic"). Sebagian besar varian iPod memberikan antarmuka pengguna (user interface) yang sederhana dengan menggunakan disain dalam bentuk roda putar (scroll wheel). iPod classic menyimpan datanya di dalam sebuah hard drive, sementara model lainnya menggunakan flash memory. Seperti sebagian besar perangkat pemain musik lainnya, iPod bisa digunakan sebagai hard drive eksternal bila disambungkan ke sebuah komputer.
Tony Fadell pertama kali mendapat ilham untuk membuat iPod di luar perusahaan Apple Computer: saat itu ia mengalami kesulitan mencari dana untuk membiayai perangkat pemain musik yang ia ciptakan. Pada waktu ia menunjukkannya kepada Apple Computer, perusahaan tersebut menyewanya sebagai kontraktor mandiri untuk membuahkan hasil dari projek ini. Ia diberikan tanggung jawab untuk menggalang tim yang akan mengembangkan dua generasi pertama dari perangkat ini. Setelah itu perkembangan iPod yang selanjutnya dilakukan di bawah naungan Jonathan Ive yang merupakan kepala grup disain industri di Apple Computer 

  • iPod (kecuali iPod shuffle) memiliki lima tombol:
  • Play/Pause,
  • Menu (untuk naik satu tingkat di hirarki menu)
  • Previous (untuk pindah ke awal lagu atau yang sebelumnya)
  • Next (untuk pindah ke lagu yang selanjutnya)
  • Select (tombol di tengah roda putar; untuk memilih menu atau lagu).


Dengan menahan tombol Menu selama dua detik bisa menyalan lampu penerang layar iPod. Bila tombol Play/Pause ditekan selama dua detik maka iPod tersebut akan mati..
