Apple is running a seemingly never-ending hot streak of success for the past two to three years. Despite attracting opprobrium from technology experts on the release of its devices and some of the decision it made in the past couple of years, Apple’s profits keep soaring up like crazy. The iPhone 4S, successor in the […]
As expected, the iPhone was the star of Apple’s quarter, with the company having sold 37.04 million units. That’s well above the 30 million analysts were expecting. This is the first quarter to include sales of the iPhone 4S, which hit shelves in mid-October and had stronger launch sales numbers than any previous iPhone model. […]
During its conference call with investors following the release of its financials, Apple fielded questions about its rivals, including Amazon and its Kindle Fire tablet, as well as how it stacks up against competitors in the smartphone field.

The latest in a line of broadcast and media resolutions, 4K is due to replace 1080i/p (1,920×1,080 pixels) as the highest-resolution signal available for movies and, perhaps, television. Though there are several different standards, “4K” in general refers to a resolution of roughly 4,000 pixels wide and about 2,000 pixels high. That makes it the […]
The industry needed a standard that works on the proposition that you’ll be sitting one-and-a-half times the screen height from the screen, and this required a higher resolution than 1080p.

James Cameron’s movie, Avatar (2011), about “the giant blue dudes” helped drive high-resolution 4K Sony projectors into theaters around the world, and made a lot of money in the process. Movie studios keen to maintain that momentum have released a slew of 3D films–mostly converted from 2D–and continued the expansion of 3D cinemas. However, this […]
In the absence of 4K content, players and displays will need to upscale 1080p or even standard-definition content. To this end, Sony announced a new Blu-ray player at CES 2012, the BDP 5790, which will upscale to 4K. Looking to the future, Sony is reportedly keen to have the forthcoming “Spider-Man” reboot become one of […]
Apple release its iPad 2 in the summers and iPhone 4S at the start of the winter. The couple of gadgets are Apple’s flagship products make most of the bread and butter these days. The holiday season including Black Friday, Thanksgiving, Cyber Monday and Christmas, is famous and optimal for huge sales of electronic products […]
I’m not sure what Apple will actually do here, but you can bet that Apple’s fairly brief comments on the matter on the call are going to trigger a whole new round of speculation on what to do with the money. AAPL in late trading is up $33.15, or 7.9%, to $453.56. Many experts expect […]
Ever since leaving the position of Chief Executive Officer at Microsoft, the co-founder of company, Bill Gates has devoted his full strengths to making the world a better place.

He mentioned some of the aspects in his letter. Following are some of the excerpts. “The world faces a clear choice,” he writes. “If we invest relatively modest amounts, many more poor farmers will be able to feed their families. If we don’t, one in seven people will continue living needlessly on the edge of […]
Apple, Inc. brought a new device, iPad, in 2010 that changed the culture of tablets as we know it. The sleek and simple design was first considered as an upsize iPod and for that matter it attracted huge criticism. However, last year we saw a new tablet culture spring from the very roots of iPad.
