iCarSteve Jobs had a strange
relationship with automobiles. He famously capitalized upon an obscure Californian law so that he never had to have license plates on his car and could exchange it every six months for an identical model of his favorite auto, a Mercedes SL55 AMG.
But Steve eventually wanted to get into the car business. According to J. Crew CEO and Apple board member Mickey Drexler, in fact, Jobs’s eventual dream was to create an Apple-branded iCar.
Spaceship Campus In the months before Steve Jobs died
last year, he was incredibly vital, attending his last WWDC and then rushing home to take care of his company by pitching the city of Cupertino Apple’s new “spaceship” campus, a massive new headquarters that would fit over 12,000 employees in a circular building made entirely of curved glass, complete with a massive underground parking lot and secret auditorium where Apple would reveal all of its future products. All while actually increasing the number of trees in the area from 3,400 to 6,000. Wow.
iYachtIt seems weird that Steve Jobs
— who never was much for ostentatious displays of wealth, and seemingly never showed a lick of interest in the sea — would want to build a super yacht near the end of his life, but he did, designed by none other than legendary French designer Philipe Starck.
TECHNOLOGY OF APPLE INC.Continuing innovation in a small number of key
products has been the key to the company's success over recent years. It has developed an extensive patent portfolio around the touch-screen interface used in the iPhone and iPod Touch. In 2009, it won several patents that allow for simultaneous tracking of "multiple finger and palm contacts" which, according to the patent, should allow for "unprecedented integration of typing, resting, pointing, scrolling, 3D manipulation, and handwriting."
This intellectual property gives Apple a competitive advantage in the development of devices such as the iPhone, iPod touch or even tablet PCs in the future. The company has also successfully rejuvenated its desktop and laptop lines, developing the OS X operating system and switching to more power-efficient Intel processors in recent years.
Apple Is Working On A Mysterious New Technology For Your TV
Apple is developing "a new technology to deliver video to televisions, and it has been discussing whether to try to launch a subscription TV service," says The Wall Street Journal
This could mean Apple is thinking about creating an iTunes-like cable service different from the current "rent or buy" model.
The cable subscription model (where you pay for packages that include channels you don't even want) is extremely outmoded, and Apple may be looking to disrupt it.
DEFINITION OF DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT
Its known by its initials, DRM. Digital Rights
Management is a technology that creates
certain conditions about how some digital
media files - such as audio and video - can be
used and shared.
Digital Rights Management terms are generally created by the
owner of the piece of digital media (for instance, a record
company when the piece of media is a song). DRM is encoded
in the file in an attempt to make it irremovable. The DRM then
governs how the file behaves on other computers.

DRM is, in some areas, an extremely
controversial technology, as some people
argue that it takes away rights that
consumers have in the physical world.
Owners of media who employ DRM argue
that it is necessary to ensure that they are
paid for their property.
APPLE’S DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT In other words we can say that DRM refers to a collection of systems
used to protect the copyrights of electronic media. These include
digital music and movies, as well as other data that is stored and
transferred digitally. For example, the Apple iTunes Music Store
uses a DRM system to limit the number of computers that songs can
be played on. Each audio file downloaded from the iTunes music
store includes information about the owner of the file and how many
times the file has been transferred. The protected files will not play
on computers that have not been authorized to play the music.
IMPORTANCE OF DRM Digital Rights Management is important to publishers of
electronic media since it helps ensure they will receive the
appropriate revenue for their products. By controlling the
trading, protection, monitoring, and tracking of digital
media, DRM helps publishers limit the illegal propagation
of copyrighted works. This can be accomplished by using
digital watermarks or proprietary file encryption on the
media they distribute. Whatever method publishers choose
to employ, DRM helps them make sure that their digital
content is only used by those who have paid for it
