What would Steve Jobs think of current Apple Inc.?

So, ever since 2011, when Tim Cook became Apple’s CEO, every decision he’s made has been challenged by the inevitable question of, “What would Steve Jobs do?” And the answer to that by many people online is usually “not what Tim Cook just did.” Which sparks an entire thread about how Steve Job’s legacy is dead, how Tim Cook cares more about profit than products, or how, quote,“Steve Jobs would probably be spinning in his grave because of what Tim Cook did to the company.” Comments like these have become so common, and I take issue with every last one of them. Now I want to start by addressing the idea that Tim Cook has raised the price of Apple products higher than ever before, whereas Steve Jobs was always trying to release the most affordable products possible. And people online frequently cite the $200 iPhone 3G or $100 5c as proof that Steve Jobs really cared about making a low cost iPhone accessible to as many people as possible. Then, they’ll contrast those devices with the ...

Why Did Apple Buy Beats?

Back in May 2014 Apple announced they would be buying a company called Beats Electronics for three billion dollars. Making it the most expensive acquisition Apple has ever made. Let's consider three reasons why Apple bought Beats, and whether or not the three billion dollar purchase has paid off. So why did Apple acquired Beats? Well, the answer is something we don’t even need to speculate about, since Eddy Cue, an Apple executive, provided three reasons himself. The first being talent. Beats Electronics was founded by two of the most powerful and influential figures in the music industry: Jimmy Iovine who co-founded Interscope records back in the nineties, which has since become one of the most successful labels in the world. And Dr. Dre, one of the most iconic rappers in history that’s also achieved success as a record producer and audio engineer. So when these two forces joined together to create Beats Electronics in 2006, it wasn’t too surprising that the company quickly b...

What is Robotics? How It Can Replace Humans?

Robotics, as the name suggests, is the science and study of robots. The term robot comes from the Czech word ‘Robota’ meaning ‘forced labour’ which was coined by Karel Capek in 1921. Robots, as by what comes first to the mind, are man-made computerised machines which performs tasks on human commands or by themselves and seek to make work easier for human beings. A robot is an integrated system made up of sensors, manipulators, control systems, power supplies and a software, which work co-dependently in order to perform a task. The study of robot therefore requires a multidisplinary approach which includes subjects like science, physics, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, structural engineering,mathematics, computing as well as biology, chemistry and medicine may also be involved.  Making of robots has never been an easy task and not all machines can be classified as robots. There are certain characteristics that makes a machine to be called as a robot. Those cha...

We're living in the future,one we thought was lifetimes away. It's part of a new revolution. The internet of thing. IOT is any physical object that you connect to the Internet.

Our fridges can remind us what to pick up at the store. Doctors can check on patient's status from the other side of the world. Cities can monitor everything from trash cans to buses. The potential is seemingly endless. The advantages of the IOT and the data that it produces are going to be enormous, from a personal health issue, to the physical reliability o...

What! An AI Made All These Faces

Let's talk about glorious tale of AI-based human face generation and showcase an absolutely unbelievable new paper in this area. You may be surprised, but this thing is not recent at all. This is 4 year old news! Insanity. Later, researchers turned this whole problem around, and performed something that was previously thought to be impossible. They started using these networks to generate photorealistic images from a written text description. We could create new bird species by specifying that it should have orange legs and a short yellow bill. Then, researchers at NVIDIA recognized and addressed two shortcomings: one was that the images were not that detailed, and two, even though we could input text, we couldn’t exert too much artistic control over the results. In came StyleGAN to the rescue, which was then able to perform both of these difficult tasks really well. Furthermore, there are some features that are highly localized as we exert control over these images, you can see...
