Congratulations to the Readers, for Radioboy

A few weeks before the 2008 to close publicabamos an article that questioned the news that Apple might have for the 25th anniversary of Mac (honestly, it seems that Apple is no longer that kind of business, prone to nostalgia and affection, but you never know).
Well, before we Bender Ball Method

done

could lay aside a year, drop the bomb Apple: Steve Jobs will not come to the stage of public MacWorld anymore. It is one of those decisions that are specified in, the head occur in an avalanche of reasons why it makes sense and can be justified by reason and strength, so that ultimately the only motivation is just no longer required arguments: the heart.


Macworld Boston in 1997 ... Apple Steve Jobs returned ... hmmm ... Steve Jobs returned to Apple.
Apple's decision can be summarized Bender Ball Method in one sentence: the end of evangelism. After eliminating the colors of the logo, the "Computer" from the name of the company and the move to Intel (if you put in the same chain of events), was just one element that can be connected to the anachronistically-before and After Apple: Steve Jobs of the apparitions at MacWorld (first three times a year, then two, then one, and now ...).
A profile media that the general manager of the company has taken care of with care, and consistently with delight: style, dress, presentations (link) ... all aimed at creating a universal icon Communicational recognizable anywhere in the world capable of transmitting messages in a single firm, unambiguous and unequivocal.
However, 2008 has also been a very strange year for Apple. On the one hand became the object of desire of "analistos ( © Ana and Ramon), and week to week also invoked the most absurd developments, deadlines and more improbable climate invulnerability incredible. On the other hand, speculators of all kinds are up against the ember of the health of Jobs and manipulacion shareholder to try to overthrow the President is a new giant able to swallow all the dinosaurs of the past century.
I am convinced that Jobs to make the public away Steve Jobs is the last service, the final service, the maximum service that can provide your company. He started and it's up to the finish. The end of the "presidential", the visionary of the guru ... those were other times.
Knowing how little friend is Steve Jobs of half measures, he will be the pulse trembled when volunteered to kill himself, to sacrifice for their faithful and to eliminate once and for all the weakest points of that trasatlantico Apple is.
Transforming an Apple Ciclope in Hydra, a defect becomes a virtue, a top marketing. Although no one says that is not painful.

Without a leader to that point, it is almost impossible to manipulate the shares, the credibility or the future of Apple because either missing, change of company-or-die eventually.
? hat are you going to do, Steve?
Steve Jobs is a "village". Whatever you have reached the top, it is a Californian town, which has severe problems to see beyond the United States. And that culture permeates Cupertino headquarters.
Steve Jobs does not travel through the world public (as if it does to, for example, Gates). Does not consider the image that Apple has sold door to door (ie, country to country) and conquer the market working agreements with governments, universities, etc.. "in exchange" that Steve Jobs will come to sign them in person.
In the early days, Steve Jobs thought the struggle for the market (against Windows) from the romantic view of "gentlemen's battle" (even Gates knew little at that time). Steve always thought that "possibly the best product ganaria" because "the market would consider." It's the same policy that Apple has implemented since the beginning of time, so each cell local Apple has to market alone, without their "cousins Zumosol" that certain strategies to further ... Apple is well.
? ue momentum in India would require Apple (or in Ecuador, Argentina, Mexico ...) the presence of Steve Jobs at a university in some news in a conference ....? Incalculable. But it has not been possible. Even when he visited Paris (Europe) at the Apple Expo defunct, all that was not the inaugural address and his visit to the "ring" of the Expo, it was strictly private.
A much it cost Apple to conceive the world as a whole, and behave much as a truly global. All launches starting with the United States, and then expand "at rest.
Respectable. But unworthy of a "global."
Jobs can now cultivate their deep provincialism, and a business-related, even less with the world ... guess until you can disappear without anyone notice his absence.
At the moment of truth, the world of Apple is so strong that pass page Steve Jobs has been much less traumatic than I thought. We have ahead of processing applications in "virtual", accessible from the Web, the progressive irrelevance of the power of the machines, and even a redesign of the software licenses ... The audiovisual market to candy for the suppression of the media, telephony and reinvented into something much bigger with applications for the iPhone.
In any case, Apple reaches the 25th anniversary of the Mac completely transformed. If not mature or immature, but different. And, of course, Steve Jobs is part of the people (like Elvis, John Paul II, but few others) that have permanently influenced the way I see life.

For this, even the next, Steve! Thanks for everything and be happy.
PD.:? Or serious emotional morning that Steve Jobs made a final appearance via video iChat? Do not lose hope ...
As this but changed positions. Phil Jobs on stage and in full screen
PD. 2: Steve Jobs has issued a personal note about his health but that does not dwell on the need to minimize the impact of their health, mood or presence (of the director or any other division of Apple) for the future.

Opera Begins a Redesign of Its Interface

The news is that Opera has just hired as chief designer at John Hicks, who may know some of his work. For example, did you ring the logos of Firefox / Thunderbird? Although be in charge of designing the desktop browsers, the widget and mobile versions, it is expected that initially focused on the Mac version. Among other things, because it has been quite critical of it in the past.


Curious move, especially considering that a few months ago that the browser completely redesigned. They should have received a lot of negative criticism for changing the chief designer, we do not know. But knowing the detail of Hicks, surely all platforms will get browsers that seem more native than now.

Twitter: 4 Uses Commodities in the Business

1. A tool for customer service:
Could you get to replace a service as we know now? I do not think, but it could open a channel much more specialized for particular groups. The case perhaps best known is the CEO of Zappos.com which has introduced a method for its employees and Tuite of way to communicate with their customers ..

2. A system to create brand recall
Conversation. We take years (yes, years) to the Cluetrain Manifesto laps behind our backs, but the reality is that companies do not go down to talk. Out of fear, shame or some other reason. But consumers want closeness and dialogue with the brands: examples beginning to have a few of the creative Territory is one of them, talk, dialogue, disagree and all that was third. And the brand is benefiting.

The key: Do not look to promote the brand, seeking interest in your followers and their experiences. The sharing is involved and creates community. Sal's tone? Machine?. We have had enough of that.

3. A promotional method
Most people see it as intrusive. The good thing is that Twitter is that you can follow or not a user. But I am grateful and I continue to a company that tells me goods, services or promotions that are of particular interest to me. The case of travel agents is paradigmatic. Or the site with information on gadgets, with the latest updates. And if the content does not convince me, I delete it and at peace;)

4. As a means to cover events live or communicate news:
I think unpayable. I come to the memory of Agora @ jaime_estevez News from the examples their homelands and broadcasting live events to go. Of companies or people that I still, I like knowing that they are experiencing at that moment. The companies that lead Twitter working for some time, they use this activity to be developed. And in the end, they are 140 characters, making it easy to digest the information.

There are task, huh?

Trick: It Extends the Maximum Number of Popups in Firefox

It sounds weird but it is, in this post I'll show you how to modify Firefox to allow popups most of the 20 that limits default. What we want to do it, if what matters is supposed to minimize that number? If, like me, are intensive users of Google Reader and also, like me, soléis navigate the same with keyboard shortcuts more Cool (j / k / v), you will be very useful.


The problem is that, after opening multiple entries with the default combination (the letter? V?), Firefox will complain, saying that the website is opening up many popups. For him, any open window without the user's direct interaction with catalogs directly as a popup, requiring you to re-take the mouse to continue browsing.


The simplest solution is to expand the maximum number of popups by tab, and fortunately we found that parameter in about: config. After typing that address into your browser and confirm that we care, one need only look to change the key dom.popup_maximum and 20 by default for a number higher. Just because we can open all entrances in Google Reader you want without having to resort to the mouse.

Linkchemy, Send and Receive Web Links That Interest You

If idea is a system which allows social circle to have a day of the links found and judged to be of interest, why not share it? That is what we have thought since Neuromentes who have contacted us to inform us of the launch of its project Linkchemy.


With Linkchemy, users can send and receive links to topics that most interest us. Just find communities related to our interests, or create them ourselves, so that all members can share links to topics that most interest us.



Once within each community, users can send links, and even leave our own opinions about them. But in addition, we can define for each community if we receive the same links, depending on the configuration of our own, either receiving daily or weekly, or to indicate that community do not want to receive links.


Alike, can interact via the messaging systems based on Jabber, as GTalk, where we can send and receive links, and also make our views on them in the communities in which we participate. Once we added the bot and introduced chain validation, since it already will give us the necessary instructions.


Without doubt, an interesting idea that the broad manner in which we share the links on the Internet, but might miss a bookmarklet for each community, which would further facilitate sharing links.


Thanks to the team Neuromentes by the notice.

Abs and fitness need to go together

Ab sculpting is one of these things that is really difficult to do. So, what can be done about working on tummy muscles? The traditional answer would be crunches, but this is only partially correct. With all the advances medical science offers, there is far more to exercising than there used to be.

For one – how about crunchless abs for that perfect muscle work out? This is easier and better than the traditional crunches. See CrunchlessAbs.com for more info on that.

Another option which has taken crunches to the next level, is the Bender Method of Core Training. This method incorporates whole new way of training with a small and simple tool – the Bender Ball.

The Bender Ball cranks up the form and intensity of the exercises, and it targets the muscles that you want and need to sculpt. The bender method and the bender ball offer a workout that is over four times more effective than the regular stomach exercises.

When and Why Do SEO Focused on the Content

We have ever spoken of the importance of quality content for indexing well in Google, rather than conduct an SEO strategy, within what we might call the economy of the links as a basis for a good search engine positioning. Regardless of this, which has its importance, and because the idea is to make final SEO should take into account a number of things. The principal, and that is something that enterprises should take full account when making SEO, is that such a strategy is not only to make further sales or generate clicks (leads), and here comes again the subject content, but there are other types of users who are interested in a website for other things, and should not be ignored. Ultimately, the best means to be conducting SEO indexed by search engines, achieving a better position in the results of the browser. That did not discover anything new, but it is worth remembering that there are bloggers among those users who might be interested in web content beyond making a purchase, a link that can help a lot, and most importantly, make repeat visits ( This is explained more or less in figure). Thus, the strategy to optimize the outcome of an action SEO should focus more toward the side of content.
That one hand. It should also be thinking when it's good for the company to do SEO and when it is not. In other words, what is the distinction to be made, and to incur the cost.
Often it is understood, as well explained in this post Hamlet Batista, who searches cost nothing, compared with the price of clicks on a PPC campaign. We forget two important variables in this assertion: the time required and those involved in conducting the campaign SEO. Therefore, should not compare the two things to do and think SEO is free. The costs of the campaign should include the people who must generate the content, tags, keywords? if we continue with the idea of giving more room to content. That does not include advertising by CFP. So, before getting to assess whether to make SEO should take affirmative answer to these questions, otherwise, it is better to advertise instead SEO:
Is one prepared to invest in human resources, and included within the marketing budget, when carrying out SEO?
Are you prepared a list of topics and ideas to desarrollarr during the preparation of new content?
Is it clear what are the key words that turn visitors into customers on the web?
Is it regularly looks at the statistics or analysis software to measure what result will give the investments made in marketing?
Are you feel that competitors are doing the same things?

The usual, and more when it comes to small enterprises (SMEs), they are advised to stop thinking of the listed companies as a way to position themselves on the Web. It is, as in everything that we discussed earlier, take everything into account, bad examples with strategies already exist in the long run, and although they learn, is finished paying expensive, despite making a small investment, as well John Andrews account in this post .

Moralize.us Asks for Views Moral Dilemmas

In life there will be times in which we usually raise a number of issues, and whether it was correct or not performed. And of course, Web 2.0 is all over, whether in the main networks of questions and answers or specific Web tools. One is Moralize.us, a simple web application where we can ask whether it was correct or damaging any issue.

This just simply registering and establishing our question after Is it right or wrong for you to?. Thus, once we have done our question, and is only receiving responses by other users. They simply vote Right or Wrong to our question, specifying in either of the two options the reason for such posts.

Therefore, we can find specifications, the votes for both positive and negative for. It is a matter of us have the last word. Perhaps if they improve the homepage, where are all the questions, incorporating a search engine, could become more useful, although it should be noted that it is in alpha stage.

Tip: Use Windows Live Translator to Translate Office Documents

While there are many online translation services for websites and portions of text, tools for translating complete documents are rather slim. That is why we can be seen as excellent news for users of Office that Microsoft has decided to integrate the Windows Live translator in his office suite, allowing us to perform well and translations of major texts quickly and easily.


Integration with WLT soon arrive as an update of Microsoft Update. But if we do not want to wait, we can activate ourselves. To do this we must click on the tab? Review? the Ribbon and give the button? Reference? (Office 2003 simply clicking References in the toolbar). Then click on the link? Options reference? at the bottom of the panel that will open. Then Select button? Add Services? and wrote the following URL.

We are a dialog asking if we want? Install? WL Translator service. I put yes, and ready. Now we can transcribe documents through the complete translation system from Microsoft just selecting the button? Translation? in the bar? Review? and then by clicking? Translate document? Panel side. It will appear on our web browser at a hearing to between the original text and the language in the document that call for the conduct translation (as the capture that illustrates this post).


WL Translator usually occupy technology translation of the company Systran, which until recently occupied Google Translator, so the quality of the texts obtained is of similar quality in both services.

Apple IPhone Force Production to 800,000 Units Per Week

Foxconn, the Taiwanese electronics giant that produces 3G iPhone for Apple has increased production to 800,000 units per week, said a source close to Apple with direct knowledge of the numbers. This is "working at full capacity." The rampant increase in production of iPhones has caused analysts and users between the legitimate concern for quality control of phones manufactured.

Apple sold just 6 million iPhones the first generation. Foxconn factories will be able to increase production significantly in the same timeframe. But with the current sales figures, the company is producing 40 million units per year, far beyond the initial estimates of demand for the product, which were 25 million on the product lifecycle.
        

Judge not...

There are medical services that  some people believe to cause or facilitate people to sin. Example of this include performing an abortion and distributing birth control. The Bush administration is currently proposing a regulation that would deny federal funding to any hospital or clinic that does not allow employees to opt out of providing any heath care that goes against their religious beliefs. I would like to think that there are few people who feel that abortion is wrong is every set of circumstances, and if they think that there is even one situation in which it is the right thing to do they should not presume to judge whether or not the people who come to them for help are in that situation.
