No wonder the IT is defining new standards by splitting the world impossible into “I’m possible”. Concepts worth exploring because the creativity behind concepts are beyond limitations. The concept of Lifebook 2013 is the true reflection of creativity by Prashant Chandra, its all in one that everyone wonders. An idea that integrates a tablet, camera, phone and music player to collectively form the hardware for a laptop! They all work independently to support their unique identity and yet unify to create a magical device.

Everybody owns digital camera, smartphone, tablet, notebook and struggles to keep them all synchronized with data which does not only requires hardware space but demands time also. But Prashant Chandra envisioned a future that merges all of these gadgets into a single laptop that has all the relevant slots for different devices to bring all it’s functions to the computer on attaching the gadget to the Lifebook slot , using all the shared computing power simultaneously to boot reducing the hassle of maintaining all separately.

The Lifebook 2013 is more like a jacket that have all the slots for attaching the mentioned gadgets, it does not include a keyboard, you can always slide in a tablet, and the tablet’s surface would end up as a keyboard.

Adventure Of Crime Carriage | Feedbook

Talha Masood Khan — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 04:35:12 -0600

Don’t know exactly from where to start but can’t stop myself from sharing with you all, the story of “Crime Partners”. It all started with an unplanned hangout where the five crime partners met for the first time. Well let me brief the scenario first, we all were internees in Human Resource Department at PSO registered for winter program 2010. Only me and my best friend “Avinash Rajput” knew each other. As usual one day, a girl had to go shopping for which “Avinash Rajput” called me to accompany him and the adventure begins. The five colleagues were caught by the Department Head while shopping, obviously we had to run then as we were suppose to be present at head office, a moment which made us all the “Good Friends” or the “Crime Partners”, that’s up to you to decide. Since then we used to plan hangouts from internship, play games, enjoy lunches and most importantly clicking pictures. Among all stupid things we love to do, there was one common craze i.e. clicking infinite photos for which we request every other person to click the group photo (to make sure not to miss any out of 5). We still remember the words “Can you please take our pic?” in order to have group pictures of five peoples, namely, Talha Masood Khan, Avinash Rajput, Aisha Abrar, Amber Nisar and Farah Iqbal and not to forget my car, the crime carriage. I never knew this car means a lot to all of us but again, my friends made me realize its importance on my last birthday. They called me out for a hangout and rest of the details were all hidden to surprise me instead I was a fool not to guess it as an idiot “ Aisha Abrar ” from our group were constantly giving me clues (unintentionally off course) like telling me the plan to take the cake first, asking for the car registration number and so on. What excited me the most among all those activities was my birthday cake, it was nothing new but the thought behind it reminded us all of those terrific hangouts we had. It made us all realized about our 6th crime partner, my car in which we had all those hangouts. The birthday is over, it came once every year but what made it phenomenal were my friends, I would like to thank them all for the ultimate fun and hope we all keep doing hilarious crimes every now and than. I’m sure that will not put a full stop to the story of my car though we all eaten it up (the cake) as it was luscious.

Does A Big Brand Needs You | Feedbook

Faiza Masood Khan — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:10:19 -0600

Indeed a good question but seems difficult to answer. Being a marketer, a big brand makes sure not to forget its customer because that’s the key to its revenue generation. In fact, it is the only way how brands survive. To understand the logic, ask it to yourself why brands keep on innovating? You’ll find the answer.

As I always try to make things simpler, let me give you a food for thought. A big brand is one which must be at its maturity level in PLC, right? A smarter brand would be the one which never forgets that the next stage is “Decline”. These are the big brands, they know they have to keep up with the hopes of its customer, once the hopes dry up; the brand is out of the consideration set. In fact,

“A true big brand is the one which has become the desire of people but excel on the grounds of becoming the habit of its customer”

Because habit brings in the revenue and desire caters to the potential customers. A Big brand has to cater both simultaneously.

Yesterday, at New York City’s Guggenheim Museum, Apple has revived the text books by introducing a new way of managing studies through an app named “iBooks 2”. The technology will alter the meaning of traditional textbooks by updating the paper textbooks to the interactive digital textbooks that are easily accessible on the iPads.

As per press release, Apple stated “With support for great new features including gorgeous, full screen books, interactive 3D objects, diagrams, videos and photos, the iBooks 2 app will let students learn about the solar system or the physics of a skyscraper with amazing new interactive textbooks that come to life with just a tap or swipe of the finger. With its fast, fluid navigation, easy highlighting and note-taking, searching and definitions, plus lesson reviews and study cards, the new iBooks 2 app lets students study and learn in more efficient and effective ways than ever before”.

iBooks Author users will be able to choose from a variety of page layouts, then drag and drop text and images (including video and 3D objects) into them. They can then publish those texts to iBookstore whereas educational publishers including Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, McGraw-Hill and Pearson will supply content on the iBookstore. This amazing education manager app is priced at US $14.99. Mac users will also be able to create their own digital textbooks, using the authoring tool, iBooks Author.

As written by Girouard in his blog “Since launch, hundreds of businesses have signed up for the service, but it's clear many more are interested in Google Apps, going forward, we've decided to focus our efforts on Google Apps and end support for GMC.” The “Google Message Continuity” provided for Microsoft Exchange emails.

Urchin a client-hosted software, acquired in 2005 by Google. Girouard addressed the issue as “Urchin,whose online web analytics product became the foundation for Google Analytics, helping businesses of all sizes measure their websites and online marketing. We’re fully committed to building an industry-leading online analytics product, so we’re saying goodbye to the client-hosted version, known as Urchin Software. New Urchin Software licenses will no longer be available after March 2012.”

The Needlebase, a data management platform to be closed on June 1, the Social Graph API will be closed due to lesser use on April 20 whereas Girouard proclaimed about Sky Map as “This app was created by half a dozen Googlers at the Pittsburgh office in their 20 percent time to show off the amazing capabilities of the sensors in the first-generation Android phones and offer a window into the sky. Since we launched the tool in 2009, we have managed to share our passion with more than 20 million Android users. We will be open-sourcing Sky Map and are collaborating with Carnegie Mellon University in a partnership that will see further development of Sky Map as a series of student projects.”
