Unofficial apple blog

Apple has just presented the version 1.1.1 of the beta of Boot Camp, the new version includes the support of the last presented Mac, a system of particionado of the simplest hard disk with predefined sizes, possibility of instalr XP on any internal disc, support of the cameras iSight and the integrated microphones, simulation of the right button of the mouse with the key right apple, you improve in the support of the keyboards of Apple.

Recently in a post of David Sellers (journalist specializing in threads Apple) in MacSimum News it throws the rumor of which a new scale of Movie theater Display might appear with a camera iSight integrated. He becomes a logician to think that after already having it in iMacs, MacBooks and MacBooks Pro, it should join of some form in the new Apple monitors or almenos, like another option, a piece of news might be thrown iSight separate for these models who could not benefit of having her integrated (MacMinis: Mac Pro?, previous models …).

Will they have these new screens option glossy? Will it be also an innovation that they will present in the piece of news keynote of the WWDC on August 7? Really would Apple bet for selling two products in one in your scale of monitors? On the contrary will we surprise it with a piece of news iSight? Aaaah who could read the personal mail of Steve Jobs, friends, although we could not: What is your opinion?

Some time ago that was speaking to himself about Pixelmator, an application of photographic finishing touch for Mac that might substitute Photoshop, but only elected few ones had access to the private beta. For fortune for the rest of the mortal ones, Pixelmator has reached the version 1.0, and it is already a reality for all.

The application, in addition to doing of everything, and with one interface that will turn out to be familiar to the Photoshop users, is capable of accepting files in format.psd, with what if we want to allow using Photoshop, we will not have to repeat all the work that we have already done while we have saved our editions in a file of this type.

As for the price, the application costs 59 dollars. A little excessive for applications that normally we use to add functionality to our Mac, but a bargain if we compare it with what the Adobe products cost. And of course, for much that is said on this application, is a little stupid to try to compare something that costs 59 dollars with one of the stars of Adobe. But all those who use Photoshop Elements, who do not need so many functionality, perhaps find in Pixelmator a reasonable alternative.

Of course, you do not hope, in this first version, for big marvels, because, for example, the support to formats RAW is not free yet, and this is a basic characteristic for any photographer who wants to extract the maximum divided to your photos.

It is an open secret that the throwing of the iPhone in the United Kingdom has not been so spectacular as it was waited, but today we can read new news that seem to confirm the defeat sensation.

And the fact is that, according to internal sources, Apple Store of Regent Street, at this point, would be still serving to Apple iPhones as the original remittance, what does not say very much about the grade of adoption of the phone in this country. Moreover, the same source says that in Apple Store only 100 sell iPhone a day. And this in the biggest shop of the whole United Kingdom, with what the numbers are clearly disappointing.

In fact, a recent report mentions that O2 it would have activated only 26.500 phones during the first two weeks of availability of the same one, when the internal expectations were located in 100.000 terminals. That’s why I say that the Orange expectations can be equal of false.

But where is the problem? Apparently, and according to the company of market researches GfK Group, the high price of the iPhone is the principal person in charge, and the fact is that 269 pounds are many pounds. On the other hand, the people also complain about the quality of the sign of O2, and about the quality of the sound of the terminal, and about the fact that it could not be bought liberated (although I dress the seen in Germany, fear would give me to think about the price of an iPhone liberated in the United Kingdom).

I keep on thinking that Apple would have to change your business model on the iPhone, and be left of exclusive operators, and of throwings firstly in the United States and 11 months later in another three countries. We will see if the future gives me the account.

They owe to be cutting heads inside the Pentagon while I write this entry. It turns out that in New Zealand, Chris Ogle bought a second-hand iPod for $ 15 dollars. On having come to house and having wanted to prove it like MP3 that is, met an ill-fated iPod that was containing inside – yes, inside – 60 sheets of military information of the United States.

The information contained on these pages there were mostly names and personal details of American soldiers, exactly of those that served in Iraq and Afghanistan and information about a mission and other things more; burden enough. Now the important thing is, to know how devils came this iPod to hands of a seller and what motive was behind to place this information in the iPod.

How many North American satellites will be after Chris?

Eduardo shows us in ALT1040 the list that Dan Lyons (Fake Steve Jobs) has prepared with 10 orders thanks to which Apple is who is and is where it is. A list loaded with irony and, as well Eduardo points, rather it is a question of a list of orders on how cagarla in your company.

Although it is something that we have to take with sense of humor, yes that it is true (and sad) that it seems that some companies get into debt in following part of these orders literally. Of all it is known that Steve Jobs (really) is a very demanding person and that it exploits very much your personnel (there is not any more that to see the apurón that they have had to get to extract 23 updates in 2 days) but is difficult to me to believe that a company as Apple applies some of the skills of this list. What do you think? Without much ado, I leave you with the list.

1. Never allow to the people to know which it is your place. It leaves that assumptions are done. Keep them frightened. Otherwise they become complaisant. The creativity is born of the fear. He thinks about a painter that … he will die of famine if it does not do your work … The same happens with the people of Apple and Pixar. They come to work every day knowing that it might be the last one … work like blacks; believe me.
2. Do not hire the best people. You can hire someone while you have them overwhelmed … He observes the filth of cars that do in Detroit, where they do not dismiss anybody. Compare it with the things that do in the Vietnamese workshops … we cannot put in risk – literally – the lives of our personnel, but we might never have done YOU X so reliable one if our engineers did not believe that whenever it appears any bug is going to be murdered.
3. It promotes only the idiots. But not to any idiot. You have to find the concrete type of idiot who in fact is created that it is super brilliant. They are a few executives fantastic and incredibly easy to manipulate. It is easy to locate them. The consultants of McKinsey are preferential candidates.
4. Never say to the people for what he expects from them. Place the impossibly high strip of wood to them, but – and here be the trick – do not say to them which is. And dismiss them if they remain short. Do you know what provokes that in the people? It they goes crazy … The madmen are more creative. And more productive. All the psychologists of the world know it.
5. A manager must be weak and unpredictable. Be random. Some day say that something is fantastic and it is a genius who did it. On the following day say that it is a filth, and he a yokel. He observes how the type will work now, trying to impress you.
6. Do not praise. Never. The gurus of the management also recommend to reward the yield. I do not agree … He begins praising the people and shortly they will begin thinking that they are so ready as you. You cannot allow yourself this. All the employees must know at all times that you are better in every respect that they. The repeated criticism of a most humiliating way is the way of obtaining it.
7. Support the broken spirits of the people. He dismisses the people regularly without any reason. It loses the nerves, shout them, insult them, and then dismiss them. Or better, do not dismiss them. It leaves that they believe that they have survived for some days. Then, when they have relaxed, call them and dismiss them.
8. Enrabiétate. Tactics that you should only use in extreme circumstances … literally cry, shout and crawl for the soil like a three-year-old child … Work because the people are impressed on having seen an adult crying and shouting. They will do any thing to do that you stop. Brilliant.
9. Do not speak to the personnel in the elevators. I raise myself to the elevator … smile and say that hello … Sometimes the personnel speaks between them, what does not include me. So I wait for myself to come to my plant and then, while the door is opened, I turn round myself and say: "what you have just said is completely wrong. You do not know about what you speak. Please it sees to gather your things …”
10. It starts with the advertizing campaign. Part of what it does to different Apple – and yes, better – is the way in which we create products. We do not start with the product in itself. We start with the banners. We spend months only with the banner … All the rest to ourselves they start with the product. That’s why most of the advertisement stinks. In Apple … if a good banner does not occur to us, probably let’s not throw the product.
