Apple loses popularity among youth while Microsoft's Win

If 3 years ago, someone had said that Apple would not be a popular company among youth, probably would not have believed, and the same would have happened if we were told that Microsoft would become a company's most popular and recognized again by youth . Yet this is the reality as revealed by a recent survey.

The survey in this case was not done by any small firm, but by Reuters, one of the largest news agencies in the world. 50% of Americans between 18 and 29 believe that Microsoft is more popular and great compared to last year. Still, the software giant has a long way to become the company's most popular technology industry, since 70% of respondents who are in that age frame believe that Google's Android operating system has greatly improved over 2012, which led him to be recognized. 60% believe that Apple has become more popular over the last year, but the expected percentage was higher for sure.

Reuters believes that the reason why young people consider Microsoft a company more popular compared to 2012 is due to their new marketing campaigns for Surface tablet and also thanks to the Xbox 360 and Kinect, because since both came to market have always been very well regarded.

3 Ways Apple Actually Innovates

“Think Different”
So the first way Apple sets itself apart from the crowd is to “think different” and not let what others do impact the products or services Apple creates and brings to market. This has to be a very freeing feeling for Apple executives as they continue to put themselves in the driver’s seat by creating new products — and new categories of products — that have driven innovation in MP3 players, smartphones, tablets and computers over the years.

If something has prevented Apple sell all units of iPad Mini would have liked, were the shortages that their suppliers have had in recent months, even though the device was released a little over 4 months ago .

Apple is the new target for hackers

On Tuesday, Apple announced that some Macintosh computers used by its employees had been infected by hackers recently. There is no evidence that hackers have done with some data and Apple has reportedly been working on a software tool whose function is to identify and repair infected Macintosh computers, which would be completed at this time. Infected systems within Apple have been isolated and removed from the company's internal network.

An unknown group of hackers managed to exploit a bug in the Java plugin used in web browsers. A similar malware was used to attack Facebook earlier, and the recent attack he suffered Apple also suffered other companies.

For a long time it was thought that Apple computers were the safest in the industry, but not the operating system was impenetrable, but there was a lack of attention from hackers to the platform, as most teams have always made use of Windows, the operating system in the world with more vulnerabilities. Maybe now that Apple is achieving greater market share hackers have decided to change their objectives.

What do you think? Did difficult time ahead for Apple?

Apple should take care of future Windows PCs

The beginning of Windows 8 has not been good, and in fact did not even meet all the expectations of Microsoft. To make matters worse, the Apple iPad is virtually cannibalizing PCs and laptops, especially because most buyers are only interested in surfing the Internet and update your Facebook status. If you count tablets as PCs, Apple becomes the No.1 provider of PCs in the world, surpassing even big companies like HP and Lenovo, among others.

Even so, and seeing how the numbers are, it is obvious that the PCs are far from dead, and probably will not for the next 20 or 30 years. In fact, you may soon recover all his honor, as a Citibank analyst suggested that Apple should take care of future computers with Windows 8, which will bring innovation and new technology to industry.

While few innovations expected level tablets during the second half of 2013, will itself many innovations in computers and laptops. We're talking about teams with touch screens, ultrathin and ultraportable at very low prices that would be able to compete (and probably end) with the 10-inch tablet on the block, which is not prepared for such a challenge. Remember also that Intel wants ultrabooks future touch Haswell use their processors can be purchased from $ 600.

Do you think Apple should really give importance to this fact or simply should continue as it has done so far? Are the PCs and laptops a real threat to the company on the block?

It is believed that the future iPad will have a design very similar to adopting the iPad Mini, which by the way would be receiving the new Retina display near the end of the year, mainly due to problems of Apple's suppliers.

Beyond that, Munster believes that Apple TV platform will receive a software update that will make any model that integrates on TV that all like to have.

Apple could have 100 designers working on iWatch

iWatch is the temporary name that gives Apple the clock until the company officially announce it, if it ever does, of course.

Not only newspapers like the New York Times and Wall Street Journal have published articles on this little clock, but even the Bloomberg financial news portal also mentioned something about it. According to the site, Apple currently has 100 designers working to create the iWatch, a device that will be able to perform some of the tasks performed on the iPhone and the iPad.

For many, mobile phones have replaced the need for a watch. Still, many people still wear a watch on your wrist, either by style, by habit, or simply because they have a mobile (yes, there are people who have no phone, and not because they can not afford one).

Several companies have tried to create watches of high ability, but the fact is that so far none of these have been successful.

Do you think if Apple launched its iWatch would be a very successful device or just stay in oblivion?

Apple may be creating a new watch

Rumors that Apple is developing a watch is nothing new. This device, which is expected to be practically a smartphone that can wear on your wrist, has been the topic of many conversations, but it seems that finally there is real evidence of the existence of the watch as discussed in The New York Times.

The famous newspaper talked to different sources Apple campus, who apparently confirmed that the company is working on a very powerful clock made ​​of curved glass. This technology is not new, but striking for that matter since it is likely that few would think that Apple could put it to good use.

From now on, the rest is speculation. As we know, Apple always tries to keep their devices in the highest secrecy (which ultimately never achieved), so we can not wait for official news from you yet. Many believe this type of technology or glasses Glass of Google have come to change the market, and may even do so, but to see ourselves still several months.

Apple could launch a "iPhablet" this year

 

Okay, I'll be frank: this is something that definitely did not expect to come. Who could imagine that Apple, which has a single mobile device in the range of 4 inches to 6 inches, would be interested in creating a phablet? According to one analyst, before long we could see a large iPhone will probably be called "iPhablet" or something like that.

Ben Reitzes, an analyst at Barclays Capital, says that we should expect the launch of the new 5-inch device this year. As has been seen, the phablets are gaining popularity, and this suggests that Apple might want to have your own model.

Is it possible Reitzes says? Well probably not. The company is already working on a low-cost iPhone and surely also in an improved version of iPhone 5 (5S) and both devices would be launched this year. Also there are rumors about an iPad 5 and a new version of the iPad Mini, which complicates matters further.

If Apple really going to throw a iPhablet, it should do so in late 2013 or early 2014.

Do you think this is even developing device? What technology do you think that would have?

The new iPad was announced quietly on Tuesday morning through the company website. The WiFi version will cost $ 800, while the version with WiFi + cellular connectivity will cost $ 930 dollars. These new prices almost put the iPad to match the MacBook Air, which costs $ 1000. Because of this, many will think twice before buying a Mac and vice versa, although I personally think it would go for Apple's handheld. What you choose you: iOS + touch screen or physical keyboard + OS X?

Phil Schiller, vice president of marketing at Apple, said that with double the storage memory and more than 300,000 applications, a larger number of entrepreneurs and artists have reason to buy the iPad and start giving business level use and personal interests.
