It's not an iPhone 5, but so what?


San Francisco: To some people, Apple's new iPhone 4S isn't the complete overhaul they have been hoping for. Its model number, which doesn't include a "5," reeks of the status quo. That's ridiculous.
Sure, the 4S doesn't render the iPhone 4 hopelessly obsolete, and on the surface they're nearly identical. But with a faster processor, new software, a voice-activated personal assistant and a souped-up camera, it's a major improvement over the current iPhone. The 4S will be available Friday in black or white. It will cost $199 to $399, depending on storage space. It requires a two-year service contract with Verizon Wireless, Sprint or AT&T.
If you have an older model such as the 3GS or are thinking of making the move to the iPhone, it's an excellent excuse to buy one. The coolest new feature on the 4S is Siri, a software-based personal assistant who responds to your voice in a somewhat robotic, yet soothing female tone.


Microsoft launches Windows Phone 'Mango' OS in India



Microsoft has launched its new Windows Phone operating system (OS) - codenamed 'Mango' - in India. The new OS has the rich and dynamic user interface - 'Metro' - of Live Tiles and Hubs that enables users to quickly find, connect and consume the content that they care about the most.
In this OS, the conventional application icons have been replaced by Live Tiles on the Windows Phone start screen, thus boldly displaying important information at a glance. The Live Tiles come to life with real-time updates from the Web such as news, appointments or friends' status. New Live Tiles can be easily created for applications, websites and music.
The 'People Hub' allows users to collate and keep their contact details in one place - ranging from SIM card to Outlook, LinkedIn to Facebook to Twitter. Besides, the 'What's New' feature in the 'People Hub' lets users see what others are posting, and also lets them comment in real-time. In additiion, the 'Group' tile, which lets users organise friends, appears on the start screen, thereby making it easy for users to text or email and IM (instant messaging) people easily, with a single tap.

The real reason Steve Jobs wore turtlenecks


I had thought--and perhaps I was not alone in this--that Steve Jobs wore black turtlenecks because they were lucky.
It is not uncommon for human beings--especially men--to have lucky shirts, lucky pants, even lucky underwear.
Yet the story of Jobs' black designer turtlenecks involved not merely the turtlenecks' designer, but Jobs' enthusiasm for Apple employees to all wear uniforms.
