Hasta La Gadget!

Over the past few weeks we have covered many rumors about upcoming Apple products, there hasn’t been much talk about a new MacBook Air. Its likely that Apple is going to released a refreshed lineup of its notebooks at some point later this year, but what’s unclear at this point in time is that whether it will also offer an entirely new display size just so the Air lineup can also jump on the retina display bandwagon. Analyst Daniel Matte certainly thinks so, he believes that an 11.8 inch MacBook Air makes perfect sense for Apple.

Over the past few months we have heard many rumors of what to expect from Apple in 2014. The company is rumored to release new iPhones, iPads as well as a wearable device this year. Its iOS powered devices might be powered by an A8 chip, and rumor has it that Apple has already started tapping suppliers who will supply the package-over-package system-on-chip, which basically means that the processor and mobile DRAM will be joined together into one single package.

When you are a company that is flush with cash and is one of the major players in the market in which you’re in, then you can be sure that sometimes, it might be more affordable to actually purchase another company which has the technology you are looking for to assimilate them into your DNA, rather than to go through the trouble and spending the additional time into research and development which might end up being a whole lot more expensive than originally expected. This is what the likes of Google has done in the past, and will continue to do so in the future – with us receiving word that they will be picking up British artificial intelligence start-up DeepMind for approximately $400 million.

I’ve always loved quotes, and I have found that often times, they make you stop for a minute to think about what was really said. I tend to enjoy humorous quotes most, but there are a few serious ones out there that are interesting. Today’s “MyFive” is simply a collection of some of my favorite quotes that relate to computers and technology. If you have a favorite, feel free to share…

1. “I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.” –Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943

   To think that there are households out there with more than five computers! It’s amazing to think that the chairman of IBM once thought there wasn’t really going to be a market for computers. Can you imagine a world with only five computers? I can’t.

2. “There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.” –Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977

   The fact that this was fairly recent is amusing, simply because at this point, I can’t think of a reason why you wouldn’t want a computer in your home.

3. “Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.” Rich Cook

   No explanation needed. 🙂

4. “UNIX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity.” Dennis Ritchie

   Any of you agree that you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity of UNIX?

5. “The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn’t think they could learn before, and so in a sense it is all about potential.” -Steve Ballmer

   I agree 100% with Ballmer here. Technology is amazing and has allowed so many people to learn more than they ever thought was possible. There’s a whole new aspect of creativity that has come about because of it, and it’s really changed the way we learn and what we do.
