So why did it do it? According to an “Apple engineer” in a new parody video (above), it’s so the tech giant could boost profits by forcing users to buy a bunch of dongles. Actually, some might agree with him. Created in the same way as those amusingly subtitled  Downfall videos , the engineer, who “worked in Apple’s laptop division,” explains to an interviewer that during the development of the latest MacBook Pro, Apple boss Tim Cook pressured them to create something more profitable than the iPhone. At a meeting, one of the team

This is a nice little mid-day (or pretty much anytime) snack you can make to have at work. I suggested a little bit of hot sauce as I like hot sauce on pretty much anything. Thanks Gabe for sharing this. Ingredients: Tuna Sliced Apple Sliced Celery Crackers (Salted works better) I also found these  Tuna Fish Salad  suggestions at   Allrecipes.com

Here are some key quotes from  Steve Jobs , the legendary co-founder and former chief executive of Apple Inc  (AAPL.O), who died on Wednesday after a years-long battle with cancer.   COMMENCEMENT SPEECH AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY, 2005 "Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything -- all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure -- these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart."   "Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma -- which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions

via mashable.com Steve Jobs, the visionary co-founder and longtime leader of Apple, has passed away at the age of 56. To honor his memory, Apple.com now displays a full-page tribute to the man that helped reinvent computing, entertainment and mobile. Apple has also posted a short letter. It reads as follows: “Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.” Apple is also asking for those who would like to share their thoughts or condolences to email remembersteve@apple.com .

via mobiledia.com Apple unveils iPhone 4S, but why no iPhone 5 and when will the iPhone 5 be released? Apple has unveiled the new iPhone 4S, as expected. But there was no iPhone 5, and inevitably this has led many people to be disappointed. So what happened? Why no iPhone 5? It’s worth noting that Apple never said that the iPhone 5 would be unveiled today. But the rumour mill assumed that the iPhone 5 would be along because it has been so long since the iPhone 4 was released. New Apple CEO Tim Cook will have wanted to make a splash. Instead, there is a sense that despite all the anticipation, Apple might have dropped the ball here. No matter how impressive the iPhone 4 is (and it is quite impressive), many articles are leading with the no-show of the iPhone 5. So when will the iPhone 5 be released? Who knows? It’s likely to be not until early next year, which means the whole of 2011 will have passed without a proper new iPhone. Will the Apple fever be even stronger when the iP

via youtube.com And provides perfect fodder for a spoof on O'Brien's late-night talk show Best Opinion: Gizmodo, Fortune The video: In a bizarre case that has captivated the tech world, an Apple employee apparently left a prototype of the highly anticipated iPhone 5 in a San Francisco tequila bar — the second time in as many years that one of the company's workers lost an iPhone prototype at a local watering hole. While an extraordinary, "sketchy" hunt for the phone's whereabouts has so far floundered, Conan O'Brien took the opportunity to imagine what Apple would do if and when it finds the perpetrators in a "hilarious spoof" that aired last week on TBS' Conan. (Watch the clip below.) Against the sort of clean, white backdrop seen in Apple's real ads, executives with titles like "President, Torture Division" outline Apple's strategy: "We are planning things that will make Vlad the Impaler look like f***ing Mr. R

via wired.com As Android spreads across multiple devices, Google’s operating system continues to dominate on smartphones. A report released Thursday backs that up, showing that Android remains the top smartphone operating system in the United States. But these numbers miss a key point: Android may be the leading platform on smartphones, but what about all the other iOS-powered devices out there that aren’t iPhones — the iPod Touch and the iPad? Today’s research report, which was published by Nielsen, claims a 39-percent Android platform market share across the major smartphone manufacturers, while Apple’s iPhone operating system claims a 28 percent stake. The results show data from smartphone purchases occurring during the second quarter of 2011 in the U.S. But therein lies the huge blind spot in Nielsen’s data measurement: Apple sold over 20 million iPhones over the last quarter, but add iPads and iPod Touch devices to that, and the number bumps up to nearly 37 million iOS device
