There's a reason that people prefer using Google Maps over other mapping applications: It's just a flat-out terrific service. That said, there is one downside to having Google Maps serve as the de facto online mapping service: It's a major target for hackers who can use it to effectively ruin small businesses.
Primary responsibility is to define both the hardware and firmware architectures for Nike Digital Sport products. Additionally, I managed the development of product firmware through partner companies. Responsible for delivering firmware to validate the design in a manufacturing environment, define and implementation of custom protocols to interact with other components of the Nike ecosystem, and translate high-level product requirements into actionable, testable definitions. I personally owned the delivery of firmware for the Nike FuelBand product line.
Let the discussion begin
- The new iTunes U makes it simple for students participating in private courses to pose questions on the course or any post or assignment
- Other students in the class can jump into the discussion and ask more questions or provide answers
- Teachers and students can keep up with the conversation when they receive push notifications as the discussion progresses
Create courses on iPad
- Teachers can now create and update their courses using the iTunes U app on their iPad--getting started is fast, simple, and completely free
- Provide every student a course outline, write posts, distribute assignments, upload class materials, easily track participating students, and much more
- Take advantage of the built in camera on iPad to easily capture photos or videos and upload them for course assignments
- Create materials using Pages, Numbers, and Keynote--or other apps from the App Store--and add them to your course by using "Open in iTunes U" from within each app
- Teachers affiliated with qualified institutions have the option to publish their courses to the iTunes U Catalog--making them available to everyone for free
"I'm just thrilled about iOS 8 -- It's like moving into a bigger, nicer house. And I get to turn the lights on and off."
"Impressive, but... you'd think they could have talked about me for more than thirty seconds. Sniff."
A group of approximately 20 armed men stormed one of Samsung's key manufacturing plants in Brazil on Monday, reportedly making off with roughly $36 million worth of computers, tablets and smartphones.
It's not exactly a mystery at this point: Apple's next-generation iPhone 6 and "iPhone Air" phablet will feature a huge redesign that represents a big departure from its current iPhone 5s and 5c models. According to countless leaks, the devices will sport a unibody aluminum housing and a new glass display cover that curves downward at its edges. The phones will also be much more rounded than the iPhone 5s. In fact, they appear to be similar in shape to the first-generation iPhone.
We have seen dozens of iPhone 6 mockups leak that are reportedly based on legitimate leaked schematics, and now new internal components have seemingly leaked, further supporting the notion that Apple's next iPhones will feature a big design overhaul.
The typical device upgrade cycle at wireless carriers in the United States is two years, but Apple's iPhones tend to remain quite usable for even longer than that. As is the case with any computer, tablet or smartphone though, things tend to slow down over time. There are plenty of factors that contribute to this slowdown, and some of them are beyond our control. For example, as new software updates are applied, older processors and other aging components might not be able to handle the new load as well as they used to.
While hardware limitations are insurmountable, there are some things that can be done to speed up a slowing iPhone.
