Yes, but what does Steve think?
That is the question some in the Apple fraternities and sororities might have been asking after the new iPads were revealed.
For once, the remaining Apple co-founder called Steve — Steve Wozniak — was on a plane to London and missed the keynote.
However, when he arrived, he fully expressed his feelings to the audience at Apps World.
As reported by Techradar, Woz expressed disappointment.
“When I finally took a look at the devices, the iPads didn’t hit my needs,” he said.
But what about the new iPad Air? It’s lighter and thinner and entirely unpretentious? At least, that’s what I got out of the keynote.
“Yes it’s thinner,” he said. “But I wanted storage. I don’t have broadband at home, so I carry all my personal media in the iPad. So I was hoping Apple has a 256GB iPad.”

You know for sure that when the two behemoths of the video game console market, the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 (PS4 for short) come together, sparks are bound to fly from both sides of the divide. There will be hardcore fans supporting their respective favorite consoles, ensuring that they magnify every single flaw of the competition, while highlighting the strengths of their own. When it comes to one of the biggest soccer games to roll out each year, FIFA 14 is set to grace sales charts soon for both the Xbox One and PS4. It does seem that the Xbox One version has a slight advantage over the PS4 version, where PS4 users will have to learn to rely on the system’s automatic 15 minute recording feature, while the Xbox One version will automatically record all of your best FIFA 14 moments so that you have one less thing to worry about, now how about that?
Viber may have brought its most highly requested feature, VoIP calling, to BlackBerry users way back in April. Still, that’s not to say the Skype competitor is quite done polishing its application on older versions of BlackBerry’s OS — namely, 5, 6 and 7. For starters, conversations have been …
When we talk about space travel, chances are we would think of it being one of the most high tech situations where one can be in. Unfortunately, that is not the case across the board. For instance, actual communications between the Earth and moon still happen to be static-filled, just like as they were back in the 1960s. NASA might have something to turn things around though, after they have successfully got a lunar broadband connection up and running. Yes sir, this spanking new connection might happen to be in the testing phase at the moment, but it would certainly go great lengths to enable scientists to collect more data from spacecraft as well as rovers, while enabling astronauts to maintain good communications as they travel farther and farther away from Earth.
Assuming you are still using a BlackBerry device which runs on the latest BlackBerry OS 10 version, here is some news for you which might just perk up your Wednesday evening. BlackBerry has recently announced the rollout schedule of its upcoming OS 10.2 firmware update, where both the BlackBerry Z10 as well as BlackBerry Q10 and Q5 will be devices that are eligible for the upgrade, although one must take note that the BlackBerry Z30 will be ready to run on BlackBerry OS 10.2 right out of the box.
Nature has more often than not been the inspiration when it comes to delivering solutions to problems. Take flight for instance – the way a bird’s wings is shaped has led us to develop the gift of flight, and this time around, British engineers have managed to gain inspiration from dolphins when it comes to a brand new kind of radar device which is said to be able to track miners who happen to be trapped underground in a jiffy. This technology will also come in handy when locating skiers who happen to be buried in an avalanche.
A rolling stone might gather no moss, and companies certainly do not want to remain stuck in a single place without making any progress at all in relation to its competitors. Having said that, one of the ways that companies could improve themselves would be by doing plenty of research and development on their own part, or alternatively, purchase companies that already have the kind of expertise which they are looking for. In this case, Yahoo has acquired LookFlow, an image recognition company, in order to ensure that their plan to improve photo discovery on Flickr will be able to kick off on the right note.
