At it Again
So, Apple is at it again.. Another Ipad. The Ipad2 has hit the markets and is already a success. Two months after its launch along with the Iphone4 Apple has accumulated billions. Apple's software is truly a force to be reckoned with. As long as they continue to amaze the markets and consumer demands are beyond expectation, Apple will continue to produce, surprise and satisfy. I am in awe at how one company can dominate an entire technological market. Well, as long as the taste in software is up to date and the software can move without manual work the public will buy. What a way to make the world a better place. :(

Hypo
Hummm, so this is a fun one.
Imagine Apple creating the first car ran by technology. Would you purchase it?
I personally believe the gadget will be amazing. I would purchase it for the fun of it. I believe it would be a master of disguise. It would be a machine that would change the world for the better. Gas would no longer be a need and the US would not have to depend on it. The machine will make the world go round and and round.
Do you believe it would sell? if problems come up how do you believe the company will solve it? Do you think the world would need?
Let me know!!

Apple is a computer filled with programs for everyone.
From the hardworking mother, to the businessman/businesswoman, to the social networking teen, to the 6 year old learner. Apple is indulged with programs that are suitable for every age group.
For example, the core solutions that Apple has are the features of email and high performance print services that allows one to create business paraphernalia authentically.
Apple also offers client management services that allows for robust tools for centralized management of users, groups, and computers, allowing IT staff to provide upgrade, patch, and security services.
Next, Apple has a service called collaboration. Under collaboration an individual will be allowed to online collaboration through group calendaring, instant messaging, wikis, blogs, RSS feeds, and other features.
Apple then gives users the ability to create a deliver media. The media is used on a high-scale production and it allows for the media to be produced authentically. Apple provides a comprehensive set of services and a ubiquitous streaming media platform.
Apple is also compatible with other personal computers, allowing people to use and exchange files with ease.
The last two features Apple allows one to have are security and storage back-up.
Here one can secure their documents and even their privacy with the use of pin. moreover the security feature allows one to be protected from online spyware.
The storage back-up plan is used when an accident or a virus sneaks in and corrupts the system. When that happens instead of the user's information being lost the company backs up the information and transfers it to another computer or recover the data once the computer is fixed.
Love Apple!! They Make Life Easier. :)

Battery Life
Apple decided to test the battery life on their ne IPhone 4. The had broken the areas of study into four different categories of study.
-Talk Time
-Standby Time
-Internet Time over 3G
-Internet Use over Wi-Fi
Studies conducted by Apple revealed that the talk time would depend on network or cell phone company prvider, signal strength, and if one uses additional features while using the handset as a phone. In addition, Apple representatives stated that the location of the individual when using the phone could play a hugh part in how long one can talk.
Standby Time also depended of location, however interestingly enough, the standby time could have been delayed if one's signal in an given area was not strong enough.
The internet time over 3G and the internet time over Wi-Fi is determined by Auto-Brightness and the settings. For example if one leaves the wi-fi search on because they are seeking wireless connection, everytime one moves from any location the phone will pick up every signal and search for more. Therefore, when one is no looking t connect wirelessly it is recommended the feature is turned off.

FROM BRAIN TO EAR: How Does The Public Hear?
So, ever wonder how Apple's creative attributes reach the public sphere? Well, Advertising of course. But the unique way that Apple advertises separates them from all the rest. Primero, Apple appeals to ones' ethos and pathos. In addition, they create a sense of necessity amongst their customers. Their first infamous commercial was of Apple people dancing around with the product. This unique approach to have individual shadows against a solid black background allows consumers to connect with the "apple people." They were able to relate to the figures and think, no individual is the same. despite having ownership over the same product. Although all individuals were in the same "white" color against the monotonous black background their shadows reflected different personal style. They made a single product fit them and their lifestyle. They also make room for their ads to be graced with an Apple silhouette to remind consumers of the quality of the product; to allow consumers know that Apple is the face of music mobility.

ITunes: Easy Access or Too much Access?
Apple Itunes is a program that allows individuals to download media to a single device. Itunes allows Apple customers to download and organize media into a single program without searching and changing different forms of media to meet a certain need. The program also allows for the management if Apple's contents from certain Apple products. It manages what the consumer likes, and their preferred taste. The infamous Apple applications are able to be downloaded and the consumer can have fast, easy access to the applications they love without having to consult the internet, or type in a different URL every time. Quicktime is the software used to play the media on the Apple devices. Interestingly enough Itunes can be shared amongst individuals who have Apple products; their information is able to be transferred to others who have Itunes. My information is now your information. Hummm! I would not like having someone able to have access to my media that I have purchased, What about you? Although I love the genius in the development of Itunes I still find it hard to accept some of its aspects.

Apple-Infancy to Maturity
Born April 1, 1976 to father, Steve Jobs, and unknown mother, Apple was destined to be a child of many talents. Introduced into the world as a personal computer kit and later growing into the advanced toddler Apple Lisa. Mocking and copying from its childhood friend, Macintosh, Apple Lisa, probably named after its unknown mother, Apple became the first personal computer to sell and take America by storm. [Sorry Mac]
In Apple's teenage years, as all teenagers do, hit puberty and became a bit of a rebel, lost a family member, and entered a slight downfall. Apple's twin, series two, was too much to produce and in 1993; Apple, sadly lost its other half it was only 17. During this unexpected family loss, Apple went into a depression and his "friend" Mac stepped in and took over the market and its shares.
A year after Apple's twin death, at 18, Apple recovers and determines to regain market shares. In an attempt, Apple confides in IBM and they merge their software with one another allowing systems to be compatible with one another.
Four years later, at the age of 21, despite a soiled friendship, Apple launches with Mac at its father's request. That same year Apple launches its first store "The Apple Store."
At the age of 22, Apple returns to establishing its name and regained it profits it once lost. New designs and catchy names like "imini" was introduced and the banks bellies were full.
In 2007, at the tender age of 31, Apple has managed to become a global brand and legally changed its name from Apple, to Apple Inc. to uphold the company's persona and redirect the attention from Apple as a computer based name to a name that is diverse and offer a variety of products.
Currently, Apple is still running strong, in great health, and its mind is functioning better than before. Apple will celebrate its 35th birthday on April, 1, 2011 and will be the forerunner in toady's technological world at the tender age of 35. Apple has been creating and dominating for years. Apple has enough money to retire, than senior citizens have years. If Apple continues to function and move in this progressive direction of success, it will live for generations to come. Can you say IMMORTAL? I can!!

Apple: Ipods
Okay so do you all recall the very first ipod Apple introduced? Huh! It was definately a break-out of the norm. We were finally able to listen to music without huge cassette players, dangling cords from ear phones and the hassle of changing media when we simply got tired of listening to a certain tape or cd. Although, this new device was funky, new, and hassel free [so we thought] why was the world both amazed and dissatisfied at the same time? Well, to begin the Ipod was new, YES! new so we would expect problems considering the product was not in production prior to its release, BUT, minor is what America wanted to see, similar to today with the President and the demand society has to see change quicker than the time it took the damage to be done but that's ANOTHER story. Back to Apple, the first Ipod created a path that would eventually keep evolving, the dissatification came when consumers felt it was small but too big at the same time. Essentially consumers were complaining about the weight and size of the Ipod. {American's always complain about something]. Consumers also did not like the fact thst it had to be synced using firewire rather than a USB cord and at times the music would not sync properly or operate effectively. Needless ti say, Apple eventualy used USB cables received superb feedback and from that point on the Ipod was able to generate funds and evolve. [line extension]. Today there are five models of Ipods with four to six generations in each category. Ipod is the product that changed the way music is brought, sold, and listened to. Apple, as a consumer I am satisfied--BUT remember, loyalty is what the consumer seeks over any new beneficial product. Keep of the good work with Ipods.

Ipad: After the Launch
Another Funky Gadget from Apple? Am I the only one confused and irritated by this constant trend? How beneficial is this technology to society? If at all? Is the newly thrived 9.7' inch, Apple Ipad currently a decade breaker? Well we can definately say it has defined the new face of technology and it has changed the way technology will operate as a mobile force since the creation of cell phones. The Phenomena is a revolutionary break through that will allow consumers of the product full access to everything from applications that aid in music, videos, photos, reading, etc. The ipad is know to allow consumers to have over 150,000 applications at their fingertips at one time. However, despite the break through and the fast speed of the ipad, as all new technology it has potential problems. The IPad has flaws, just as any other new gadget introduced today. It is known to be unresponsive, short battery life, and the built in battery causes problems for it can not be replace if something goes wrong. [only in store service]. Another flaw that consumers have seen in the ipad is that the company Apple is the sole decison maker over the product's data service and its internet connections. [privacy? Freedom to choose?]
Despite the flaws and its attributes thew question presented to America is: Is the Apple IPad beneficial to today's society? Or is it just be another fancy eye-catching product created by Apple? Or even another "cool" gadget added to Apple's inventory? America you be the judge!
