iSad pentru Steve Jobs

Chiar daca nu am fost niciodata adeptul preturilor exagerate si marketingului agresiv promovate de compania Apple joia trecuta iSad cand am aflat ca Steve Jobs ne-a parasit, mult prea devreme. Datorita lui domeniul IT&C a inaintat cu o viteza uluitoare. M-ai jos, daca aveti ceva timp la dispozitie, cititi cele mai importante citate graite:

  • Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.
  • It’s better to be a pirate than to join the Navy
  • Quality is more important than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles.
  • I’m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.
  • It’s really hard to design products by focus groups. A lot of times, people don’t know what they want until you show it to them.
  • You can’t just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they’ll want something new.
  • Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.
  • Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.
  • Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change the world?
  • Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me … Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me
  • You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
  • Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.
  • No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
  • I think if you do something and it turns out pretty good, then you should go do something else wonderful, not dwell on it for too long. Just figure out what’s next.
  • Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
  • Sometimes life is going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.

Engleza de balta

Daca aveti curiozitatea, sa vizitati varianta romaneasca a site-ului companiei Apple, o sa descoperiti ca textele pe site nu au sens, de exemplu la iMac ne spune ca este “un all in one grozav“, macbook-ul a fost “reproiectat din scoarta in scoarta” sau ca macmini este “noul, mai marele mini“. Daca eram in locul lor, decat sa ma fac de rusine cu un site tradus in halul asta, mai bine faceam copy/paste si lasam totul in engleza. Pariez ca au tradus, din engleza in romana, folosind Google Translate.

Voucher de 10000$

Nu stiu daca stiti deja dar Louie Sulcer din SUA a cumparat melodia cu numarul 10miliarde de pe iTunes. Ieri Apple a anuntat numele acestuia oferindu-i un voucher de 10000$. Melodia care i-a adus noroc se numeste “Guess Things Happen That Way” - Johnny Cash. Pentru mine semnificatia cuvintelor in numele melodiei si a artistului este prea mare, ceea ce ma pune la banuieli si sa spun ca treaba cu voucher-ul a fost “bine” aranjata. Stirea cu melodia castigatoare este la fel de adevarata ca si faptul ca Apple ne spune ca bateria la un iPod tine 24 de ore, cand de fapt el tine 6 ore. Va dati seama ce imagine proasta ar fi creat daca melodia castigatoare era una de-a lui Nicolae Guta?! Apropo, daca vreti sa-i cumparati albumele le gasiti pe iTunes, cu preturi de la 9,90$ la 11,99$. Nu va ingramaditi, pe rand!

Nokia vs. iPhone

Eram un fan, ca sa zic asa, pentru telefoanele Nokia. Imi placeau modelele pe care acestia le lansau. Aveam impresia ca Nokia ne conduce viitorul in telefonia mobila si sunt imbatabili. Incepand cu primul trimestru 2008, pentru o perioada buna de timp, am avut un iPhone. Din acel moment mi-am schimbat radical parerea despre Nokia. Mi-am dat seama ca, de fapt, acesta avea un progres technologic prea lent. Noile modele de telefoane Nokia veneau cu soft-uri imbunatatite prea putin. 15 luni dupa lansarea iPhone-ului le-a luat celor de la Nokia sa realizeze primul telefon touch screen (Nokia 5800 XpressMusic). Mi-e asta imi spune faptul ca, daca Apple nu ar fi lansat iPhone-ul, cel mai probabil ca, nici in ziua de azi Nokia nu ar fi apelat la imbunatatiri dramatice. Nici in ziua de azi nu am fi avut telefoane cu functii touch screen sau memorii interne pentru stocare de 8GB. Sunt sigur ca Nokia si-a dat seama ca nu poate avea pretentii sa ramana lider global, in telefoane mobile, daca continua sa furnizeze evolutie tehnologica cu taraita.

Windows, Mac si Linux

Foarte multi fosti colegi de facultate, incepand din 2003, intrasera in febra anti-Windows, asa cum mai intalnesti si azi. In conceptia lor, din acea vreme, daca nu erai Linuxist erai un nimeni. Astazi cand vorbesc cu ei si-au schimbat parerea la 180 grade. Majoritatea au descoperit sistemul de operare Mac, de la Apple. Nu inseamna ca au ramas mai putin inventivi! Productivitatea si stabilitatea i-au facut pe majoritatea sa adopte mediile comerciale. Linux-ul ramane pentru aceia care au timp, sunt ambitiosi si refuza conformismul. Este si o parte buna in toata isteria asta: incurajeaza cunoasterea, creativitatea si competitia.

Ce a realizat Bill Gates pentru omenire este progresul – lucru pe care multi nu-l vad, deoarece sunt prea aprinsi intr-o disputa de genul “ce imi place mie este mai cool decat al tau” si nelipsita dorinta de a fi “speciali” cu orice pret, in cazul utilizatorilor produselor Apple este de obicei foarte mare. Cel putin nivelul actual de dezvoltare tehnologica, i se datoreaza intr-o anumita masura “nenorocitului” de Windows, in toate versiunile sale. Windows-ul lui Bill Gates a fost cel care a accelerat procesul de dezvoltare al omului. Este usor de observat unde exista interes comecial pur (Apple) si unde inventia a adus beneficii conexe la nivel global (Microsoft).

Sper ca acest articol sa nu ii supere pe cei 10 posesori de Mac din Romania.

Ce nu face si nici nu are iPad-ul

In ciuda numeroaselor defecte enumerate mai jos sustin in continuare ca iPad-ul este un produs revolutionar, asa cum am mentionat si in primul articol despre iPad.
