Apple Sues HTC For Infringing On iPhone Patents »
0
- According to this article at Gizmodo, Apple is suing HTC for infringing on some 20 patents related to user interface. Earlier, Nokia was also accused of the same thing. Here is what Steve Jobs had to say on the lawsuit:
“We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it. We’ve decided to do something about it. We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours.”
The last Macworld – Apple continues to innovate with iLife »
Windows is good, Linux is better and Mac is the best! To accept the statement, you don’t have to use Mac regularly, you can just try it once in any Apple stores. I am not saying this just because Apple products look cool. They do look gorgeous, but they come with every thing you would want from a computer…whether it is fun stuff, like organizing photos, movies etc or doing serious coding with XCode or even colloborating with iWork.
The new iLife 09 has excellent features, especially to its iPhoto and iMovie.
iPhoto 09 has following new features:
- Faces – Face detection and recognitions
- Places – GPS Geotagging
- Facebook and Flickr Support
- Slideshow Themes
- Travel Books
iMovie 09 has following enhancements:
- Precision Editor
- Advanced Drag n Drop
- Dynamic Themes
- Animated Travel Maps
- Video Stabilization
With over tens and thousands of pictures, the face recognition feature in iPhoto will instantly help me organize the pictures more easily and effectively. GPS Geo-tagging is very useful to group photos based on where the photos were taken. These two features are really a must-have in any photo management software. I wonder why Microsoft is not able to make their products as useful. If you get a PC based laptop, it really does not have lot of useful software. On my Mac, I can have Apache web server running with couple of clicks, share photos, learn music (Garage Band 09 has Learn to Play) and do lot more things.
