Apple will soon have enough money to buy all their competitor manufacturers!

When Apple next announces their financial results, they should have close to $70 billion in the bank, which means they would be able to buy all their competitior manufacturers except for Samsung. That list includes HTC, Nokia, RIM, LG, Motorola, Sony Ericsson(Google and Microsoft aren't manufacturers they are platform vendors) While market value of phone vendors declines, Apple grows and they will one day have more cash than the entire phone industry.

Airbus concept plane.

I know that this is a blog that is usually about Apple and so on but after seeing this I just could not let it through without a post. I don't think words are enough for this concept, so go ahead and just see the video for yourself... The cabin and overall design of it is just amazing, but this see-through plane would sure do the same to your wallet! That's for sure.

WWDC 2011: Apple (Update)

Image
So Steve Jobs took the stage for Apple at WWDC and got into his phase of competitiveness by comparing with other brands and as usual showing off their statistics. Phil showed us Mac OSX Lion and demoed a few features like Resume, Air Drop, new Mail and so on, and it was well just as expected.... very good! iOS 5 really surprised not just me but everyone, new notifications(which were expected) in the same pull down bar like Android but yet again Apple revolutionized it. They added Reminders, split keyboard, new Photo Editing features, improved other things too! Reminders reminds you what you have to do in a better way and you can set to remind you to do something when you leave a place or arrive at a place using Location Services.  "We just looked into the software and thought of why people go to a PC and we put those functionalities in iOS" yep, they sure did and now you dont even have to plug an iOS device into a Computer after you buy it you can just set it up on the go
