Steve Jobs was a brilliant personality. He got almost all parameters right – Spirituality, Work and Family. He was a perfect man. You’ve got to go through his sister, Mona Simpson’s Eulogy for her brother Steve Jobs. Damn, finally he did get everything right.

Whats up with the New Background on Etiole?
If you’re wondering why is Etiole’s background what it is, you have come to the right place.
The picture at the back is from CERN’s Large Hadron Collider experiment. Technology is a lot more than just your gadgets and electronic devices. It is a vehicle of innovation. It revolutionized every aspect of our life. It is the outcome of the hard work many great men put in. Technology is what makes good things great. At Etiole, all of us know this fact very well.
The Hadron Collider is a brainchild of technology and a daring effort to find the mysteries of the universe. It is trying to fill the gap left by many unanswered questions. If you reflect on life philosophically, you would exactly know what I’m talking about. The image is a symbol of this effort and the ongoing evolution of technology. It’s inspiring and amazing. And that’s why, we put it here.
If you’re interested in Technical Details, here’s an excerpt about the image from the Official CERN page after the break.
First collisions of lead ions seen by the ALICE experiment on 07.11.2010 recorded by its innermost detector, the Inner Tracking System. The shaded structures represent a perspective view of the detector elements. The lines are the reconstructed particle trajectories and the colour scale indicates the energy of the particles.Such collisions produce an unprecedented number of particles, reaching thousands per collision.
Twisting and Bending Mobile Phones are the new Mobile Gestures : Nokia
At today’s Nokia event, in the shadow of the Lumia 800 there was another “great” piece of technology. Nokia had put a prototype of a mobile device which is nothing like you see everyday.
When iPhone and other smartphones poured in, they brought in the pinch and zoom, swipe and tons of other gestures. Now, Nokia (Surprisingly, Nokia => WHAT?) is pointing directly at the future of these devices with this prototype they’ve got.

If I go by my intuition, I think this is what Mobile Phones are going to become in the coming decade. The prototype responds to various gestures and actions which are performed by the user on the phone. They include holding the screen and twisting it to move up-down the menu. The Screen is made flexible to withstand and comprehend such gestures. Technically, I guess they are using some specifically engineered OLED screen. Its called Nokia Kinetic Device.
You can zoom in by bending the the phone outwards or zoom out by pushing in. I feel that these gestures are quite natural and it won’t take us much time to get used to them. Nice move Nokia. Lumia 800 was good and this is better. Nokia’s time is fast approaching!

A world where everything is done using iPhone Apps [Video]
After the Software and DotCom explosion, the next one is undoubtedly the App explosion. The best part? Apple’s iPhone is already leading the trail with Billions of App downloads and hundreds of thousands of Apps in the store. If you recollect, there had been few commercials, “There’s an App for that” from Apple for iPhone 3G.
Future isn’t far where there will be an App for almost everything 30 years down the line. Whatever be it, it’s cool to imagine it. Check the video down to see it in-video.
Thanks TNW.
The new Facetime hits Mac : Also poses threat to security
If someone said chatting was not enough, we’ve got video conferencing. To complement that Apple released Facetime for Mac. It’s already hit the devices running iOS ie. iPod Touch and iPhones and now it finally comes to the Macs.
This could be the beginning of a revolution. It could alter they way people communicate with each other on a massive scale. Obviously, Apple has a large user base with iPods and iPhones and now when it comes the the Macs, all can connect with each other for free.
Video conferencing is not something new which Jobs invented and it has been around for a few years, but Apple has leveraged it and organized around it (clearly visible in its products) with Facetime cameras in devices and perfect software to support it. The latest Mac OS 10.7, as we said is being developed on the lines of iOS and a facetime software just adds to its perfection.
Steve Jobs army of developers have made a perfect blend of all products. In short, Jobs is lucidly explaining to us that we must buy the whole Apple family and not just a device. If you get an iPod, you’ve got to have an iPhone to Facetime with and if you’ve got a iPhone you’ve got to have a Mac to Facetime with. Its all interconnected and this gives an impetus to the sale bringing in more profits.
The Threat
The beta version of the software is out on Apple’s website and in few hours, devs have found out a way to exploit the software and how to reset the password of a innocent user.
The information of the apple id including birth date, security question and answer is displayed in plain text and the password can easily be reseted using the forgot password option and the details obtained before. Long way to go, Jobs.
