Apple to announce tools, platform to "digitally destroy" textbook publishing
Apple is slated to announce the fruits of its labor on improving the use of technology in education at its special media event on Thursday, January 19. While speculation has so far centered on digital textbooks, sources close to the matter have confirmed to Ars that Apple will announce tools to help create interactive e-books—the "GarageBand for e-books," so to speak—and expand its current platform to distribute them to iPhone and iPad users.

Kunming, la ville chinoise aux 22 faux magasins Apple
Au début, les autorités de la ville de Kunming, dans le sud de la Chine , ont découvert un faux Apple Store à la fin du mois de juillet. De fil en aiguille, et suite aux plaintes d' Apple China, elles ont poursuivi leur enquête et se sont rendu compte que la ville comptait pas moins de 22 autres faux magasins portant le logo d'Apple.

Steve Jobs’s Real Genius
Not long after Steve Jobs got married, in 1991, he moved with his wife to a nineteen-thirties, Cotswolds-style house in old Palo Alto. Jobs always found it difficult to furnish the places where he lived. His previous house had only a mattress, a table, and chairs. He needed things to be perfect, and it took time to figure out what perfect was. This time, he had a wife and family in tow, but it made little difference.

Utilisateur régulier des produits Apple avant même que cela ne relève de la béate branchitude collective, c’est un sentiment de circonspection gênée qui m’avait envahi quelques heures après la mort de Steve Jobs . Les mot “génie” et “visionnaire” revenaient alors sans cesse dans la bouche de milliers de marketeurs, consommateurs, hommes politiques ou analystes financiers (ceux-ci ayant perdu depuis longtemps toute notion de mesure concernant un homme qui aura fait fructifier 100 000$ investis en 1997 – date de son retour chez Apple, en une coquette somme de 6,86 millions de dollars en 2011), empressés de rendre un hommage aussi sincère que médiatique à la mémoire d’un homme au mystérieux charisme.
