Apple enthusiasts have a lot to be excited about after the company announced on Wednesday several product and mobile device operating system enhancements.
The word of the day was smaller and better, as Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled bug fixes for the iOS platform, the biggest makeover for iPods and iTunes, and a re-designed Apple TV that allows consumers to rent HD movies and TV shows.
Jobs opened the special event by providing statistics on the company’s mobile operating system and announcing a new release of iOS 4.1…
About two hundred and forty pre-schoolers in Contra Costa County, California are being tracked with radio frequency identification (RFID) technology as part of a Head Start facility upgrade made possible by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).
The month-old system requires students to be digitally signed in by parents, and then to put on a numbered, v-shaped jersey with the RFID tracking device sewn into the chest area on the right side.
The jersey is similar to what basketball athletes wear and is placed over the children’s everyday clothing…
This is the story of 7th-grader Jessi Slaughter and what Florida law enforcement are investigating as a case of cyber-bulling.
While the actions taken against young Jessi cannot be condoned, some have speculated that the girl’s online use wasn’t being watched or monitored properly by her parents. In addition, Jessi may have been planning to use YouTube and other social sites to to create content that would take her “viral”, an online term used for material that becomes wildly popular almost overnight.
In a profanity-laced original video in which she spoke directly to the online haters…
In a strategic business move that will, among other things, force suppliers and competitors to follow or get out of the way, retail giant Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. will expand its use of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags by implementing it down to the product level.
As early as 2005, Wal-Mart has partnered with suppliers to track inventory through the use of electronic product codes (EPC) — powered by RFID technology — at the pallet and case level…
With over 3,000,000 devices sold since it’s launch three weeks ago, the Apple iPhone 4 has been judged the number one smart phone by a variety of publications — Wired, Engadget, PC World & Consumer Reports.
But a public relations disaster seemed to be brewing as media reports of antenna & reception failure spread over the internet like wildfire.
Critics and manufacturers of phones like the Nokia, the Android and the Windows mobile phone were most likely hoping that Apple’s fortunes would begin dropping like the reception bars on the iPhone 4 phone…
On April 8th 2010, Apple announced some major updates that they will be making in their iPhone firmware — OS 4 (not 4.0).
Calling it the next generation of the most advance mobile operating system in the world, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said the iPhone currently has a 64% U.S. mobile browser useage market share.
“To date, we have sold over 50 million iPhones,” Jobs said. “If you’re a software developer, that is a plum market to go after.”
Calling it a lemon of a decision, FCC Commissioner Michael J. Copps pledged to change how broadband services are classified after a federal appeals court in the District of Columbia sided in favor of the nation’s second largest ISP, Comcast.
