I love the ideas that people are having making stickers for apple products. I love the interaction. My favorite is Snow White (but only because I am allergic to apples so I can relate!). Here are just a few. You should check out the site! Click on any of the images to go to the original article!
Epicenter, part of Wired.com, recently posted an article titled “5 Reasons the Media Cover Apple So Much”.
The five reasons are as follows:
I personally am a fan of Apple. I’m using a Mac right now, my laptop is a Mac. Although I grew up using a PC, I have loved my Mac since I first got one. I personally believe that Apple has done amazing things in its lifespan to grow as a company and to push technology. They are innovative and they know how to sell. I completely agree with this article, especially when it touches on Apple’s design and Steve Jobs’ presentation style.
Mashable posted an article this afternoon about how Apple has supposedly acquired a Swedish company that specializes in Facial Recognition software. Rumor has it that Apple plans to use this software to create a program that allows you to point your iphone camera at someone, and automatically see links to their social networking sites. It would allow people to see your latest tweets and blog posts, etc.
I have mixed feelings about this software.
My first reaction is “Sweet! That sounds awesome, and I want one right now!”
My second reaction is “Wow… I really don’t know if I want to be that accessible to people.”
I am the type of person who has everything set to private! If you go to my Facebook page, all you will see is my profile picture and a nice little message telling you that you must be my friend to view my profile. Secondly, I don’t friend people that I haven’t met in person. Although, I do need to go back and weed through all the people that I met once at a party, I know basically everyone that comes up on my news feed pretty well. Additionally, I even censor most of my content and status updates from some people (mostly my grandparents and young cousins… because I have a potty mouth).
I’m intrigued to see what Apple does with this software. On the new iphone 4, there is a feature (called Face to Face I think) where you can video chat over your phone. Maybe this is the next step. I hope it comes with some wicked privacy options.
