Natarajan1 Comment

 Apple products are admired for their sheer designs. By designs it means everything from exterior looks that catch yours eye balls to interior hardware that gives joys of a superbike ride. As all the nice things come with the antecedent stories that tell about their evolution; Apple’s designs are no exception.

Apple I: 1976

 

It was in the spring of 1976 that Apple released the Apple I, and it is the first product to come out of their company housed in a garage. This personal computer was designed and hand built by Steve Wozniak. The project was financed by Steve Jobs by selling his VW van and Wozniak, by selling his HP-65 calculator. It was demonstrated in July 1976 at the Homebrew Computer Club in Palo Alto, California.

 
Unlike other hobbyist computers of its day, which were sold as kits, the Apple I was a fully assembled circuit board containing about 60+ chips. The Apple I’s built-in computer terminal circuitry was distinctive— all one needed was a keyboard and an inexpensive television set. This made the Apple I an innovative machine for its day.

 


“The evolution of the Apple Mac computers is a timeline of Silicon Valley,” says Silicon Valley graphic designer Steve Yamaguma of Design2Market.

 iPad: 2010

 
The first iPad was released on April 3, 2010, and it loudly declared Apple’s design powers. The hardware design of the iPad re-introduced a form factor that had labored to become mainstream, but this time Apple’s timing couldn’t have been better. Mobile computing was fast gaining in popularity. The clean, elegant look of the iPad made rival netbooks look cheap and boring, which quickly led to their demise.

 
“The iPad challenged our traditional way of work and play and opened up a new realm of possibilities in how we live our daily lives,” says Yamaguma.

 
Siri: 2011

 
Siri is an application which acts as intelligent personal assistant and knowledge navigator that can recognize natural language. This software product from Apple is in this list for its “design” represents something bigger to Apple’s image and the future of computers.

 

“The pursuit of technology into the future will render technology ubiquitous and invisible,” says Yamaguma.

 
 iPad Mini: 2012

 
iPad mini was announced on October 23, 2012 and is a mini version of Apple’s popular iPad. This device offers Apple’s design and expertise in a cheaper way.

An Ad. …You Can Read and Eat It Too !!!!

NatarajanLeave a comment

If you’ve ever wondered how orange-flavored paper would taste, there’s no need to wonder any longer. Fanta has come to the rescue.

The soda brand’s new print ad starts off by describing its orange flavor in great deal. The whimsical fonts spell out phrases including “like an instant whiff of a fresh bouquet of flowers in spring!” and “a sudden burst of sugary-citrusy-sweetness.”

Then the ad invites you to tear out the page and eat it, so you can taste the flavor for yourself. What?!  

This takes augmented reality campaigns to a whole new level.

Check it out here:

NatarajanLeave a comment

Rashmi Parvathi K, 17, a girl from Puttur in Karnataka, is all set to go to the U.S. with her innovative science project that may lead to a discovery in medicine.

Rashmi is the daughter of farmer Ravishankar K from Nekkila village. The girl developed a technology to create salt with medicinal properties from coconut palm petiole (the stalk that attaches the leaf to the stem), reported Vinobha KT for TNN. The organic salt can be used as a medicine for various skin ailments due to its antimicrobial properties.

Her project was chosen for the prestigious International Science Project Competition of International Sustainable World Energy Engineering Environment Project Olympiad (ISWEEP) in Houston, Texas from May 8. Rashmi is among four students selected from India.

Her father was quoted by TOI saying the project titled ‘Salt from Coconut Palm Petiole’ is a remedy for skin ailments developed by Rashmi with the guidance of her mentor Shankara Bhat Badanaje. It also won her the gold medal and first grand award at the Indian Science and Engineering Fair – Puttur micro fair. He added that “The project was selected for a national competition and then she qualified for the international event.”

Rashmi has also earlier won national honors by producing antidandruff shampoo using herbs and got the second rank in SSLC. The master mind has earlier presented five science projects at the IRIS national competitions and has attended numerous science camps and won almost a dozen prizes at national and state level.

Rashmi Parvathi said, “My ambition is to become a scientist.”

Samsung….A Success Story …Worth Reading !!!

Samsung flash memory and processors

In the past year and a half, Samsung, a company that makes everything from dishwashers to smartphones, has become one the most powerful and recognizable names in tech.

A lot of people are even lumping Samsung together with Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google as one of the most important tech companies right now.
So how did Samsung get to where it is today?

Samsung was founded by Byung-Chull Lee in 1938 in Taegu, Korea. The company started as a food exporter in Korea and shipped items like dried fish and flour to China.

Samsung got into other businesses throughout the 1950s and 1960s, including life insurance and textiles.

Samsung Electronics started in 1969. That division mostly made TVs. Samsung’s first black and white TV went on sale in 1970.

Samsung expanded into even more fields in the 1970s, including petrochemicals. It also started making washing machines, refrigerators, and microwaves.

Samsung began to focus even more on electronics in the 1980s. The company began producing color TVs, personal computers, VCRs, and tape recorders. This was also the decade Samsung started exporting more of its products to North America.

Samsung teamed up with BP in 1989 to form Samsung BP Chemicals. The company sells chemical products in Korea.

In the early and mid-1990s, Samsung started producing memory and hard drives for use in personal computers. That’s still a big part of Samsung’s business today.

According to company legend, one of Samsung’s first mobile phones did not work when it came out in 1995. When Samsung’s chairman Kun-Hee Lee found out, he visited the factory where the phones were made and reportedly had the entire inventory burned.

After that initial slip up, Samsung began taking mobile more seriously by the late 1990s. It released one of its first Internet-ready phones in 1999. Mobile would eventually grow into Samsung’s most profitable business.

In the late 1990s, Samsung made more advances in television. It created the world’s first mass-produced digital TV in 1998. It had a full lineup of digital TVs by 1999.

Samsung began making HD TVs in the early 2000s. It went on to make Blu-Ray players and other home theater equipment. Today, Samsung makes some of the best HD TVs you can buy

Samsung introduced its first flagship Android phone, the Galaxy S, at the Mobile World Congress in 2010. The phone is now in its third generation and regarded as one of the best smartphones you can buy.

Samsung released the Galaxy Tab in the fall of 2010. The 7-inch device was the first mainstream Android tablet.

Apple”s iWatch….Some Exciting Features ….

NatarajanLeave a comment

Apple has the potential to drastically reinvent the traditional smart watch.     apple iwatch on wrist
There are already a host of smartwatches out there, like the Cookoo Watch and Pebble, and one source tells us that Google’s currently working on a smart watch of its own.
Earlier this year, reports emerged of Apple’s apparent plans to start making a smartwatch.
According to Bruce Tognazzini, a principal with the Nielsen Norman Group and former Apple employee who specializes in human-computer interaction, an Apple iWatch could have a vast impact on our lives.

Here are several reasons why you should be really excited:

Apple can solve the “having-to-remove-the-watch-from-your-arm-problem” by implementing wireless charging, which the company holds a patent for.
Apple’s patent for curved glass screens could help reduce the clunky factor.
There won’t need to be a bunch of buttons and menus because Siri will be able to handle complex tasks.
The iWatch could facilitate communication with your iPhone so you can see who’s calling.
It could eliminate the need for typing in passwords on Apple devices.
You may never lose your iPhone again because the iWatch will alert you if you start moving out of range.
It could use sensors to track how many calories you’re burning and miles you’re walking, and monitor things like blood pressure.
If the NFC chip makes its way to the iWatch, you could just swipe your watch over a reader to make payments.
It will very likely support music functions.
The iWatch could function as remote control via compatibility with Siri.
Apple could use the iWatch to fix its maps by using crowdsourced pressure data.
