Analog and Digital.

Since Monday October 24th, 2011 I’ve been trying to read the Walter Isaacson-penned biography of Steve Jobs which simply titled “Steve Jobs”. After I finished the “Introduction” I put the hardcover book down and took a break from it. I asked myself why I’m having such a hard time reading the book. Is it because the book about Steve Jobs? Is it because of what could be written in the biography? No.

The answer is simpler than I wanted to believe. It is one thick book to hold. I prefer reading the book in digital format. So I downloaded the book on iBooks. On retrospect, I should have downloaded the book on Amazon Kindle. I can read it on more devices.

One analog is replaced by its digital counterpart.

Tech Pundits are out to prove 1 Million People to be wrong.

very — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 05:31:52 +0000

Let’s travel back 6 days and a lot of tech pundits were ragging on the newly announced iPhone 4S.

Same design with iPhone 4?
No 4-inch screen?
No LTE?
No NFC?
No Red iPhone 4S?

OK, I made up that last one, but I’m pretty sure some pundits are thinking it.

Despite of the mixed reviews, iPhone 4S tops 1 million pre-orders in the first 24 hours.

CUPERTINO, California—October 10, 2011—Apple® today announced pre-orders of its iPhone® 4S have topped one million in a single day, surpassing the previous single day pre-order record of 600,000 held by iPhone 4.

I bet the 1 million pre-orders still a disappointment to Apple haters.

Some publications even dared to link the 1 million iPhone 4S pre-orders to Steve Jobs’ death; what a classless move. I found out about it through a tweet from Tom Reestman of The Small Wave. Shame on International Business Time this headline: “iPhone 4S Fortunes Linked to Steve Jobs’ Untimely Death?”. Just admit that there are a lot of people want to get their hands on iPhone 4S.

UPDATE:
John Gruber’s take on International Business Times idiotic explanations.

iPhone 4S is scheduled for release on Friday October 14th, 2011.

President Obama’s statement on the passing of Steve Jobs.

very — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 01:43:42 +0000

The White House has released statement from President Obama on the passing of Steve Jobs.

Michelle and I are saddened to learn of the passing of Steve Jobs. Steve was among the greatest of American innovators – brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it.

…….

The world has lost a visionary. And there may be no greater tribute to Steve’s success than the fact that much of the world learned of his passing on a device he invented. Michelle and I send our thoughts and prayers to Steve’s wife Laurene, his family, and all those who loved him.

Steve Jobs
1955-2011

Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.

If you would like to share your thoughts, memories, and condolences, please email rememberingsteve@apple.com

Thank You and Good Bye, Steve.
