You just have to wait a few more days, until the 25th, to get the game on the App Store. I’ve played this game on the arcades, Sega Dreamcast and PlayStation 3, and now it’s coming to a portable device. I just wish this game would be graphically optimized for the new iPad. I hope Capcom gets to do this on a future release. And if Apple gets to do an official game controller, that would be sweet.

MBAOnline.com: “A Day in the Internet”

By El Mundo Tech 1 Comment

[EN]: I received an interesting email from Jenica Rhee with a link to a great infographic about the current state of the Internet. The infograph explains the power and influence of the Internet for people and businesses. It is worth taking a real look at this graphic. Read the following paragraphs for more info.

As more and more business is conducted online, more and more business opportunities are created due to the massive size of the internet. Companies like Amazon, Apple, and even Walmart are giants in e-commerce and their online revenues are continuing to soar. Last year, e-commerce raked in $680 billion worldwide. And on Black Friday alone, Amazon sold 32 items per second.

With the help of services like Facebook, Twitter, and email, companies are able to reach practically anybody on the internet – all 6.8 billion of them. Those pursuing an MBA will definitely need to consider the shear size of the internet when making their future business decisions. And the numbers behind the size of the internet are staggering. In fact, they’re almost unbelievable.

[ES]: Recibí un correo electrónico interesante de Jenica Rhee con un enlace a una gran infografía sobre el estado actual de la Internet. La infografía explica el poder y la influencia de la Internet para personas y empresas. Vale la pena echarle un verdadero vistazo a este gráfico. Lean los siguientes párrafos para más información.

[Traducción]: A medida que más y más negocios se realizan en línea, más y más oportunidades de negocios se crean debido a la cantidad masiva de la Internet. Compañías como Amazon, Apple, e incluso Wal-Mart son gigantes en el comercio electrónico y sus ingresos en línea continúan aumentando. El año pasado, el comercio electrónico recaudó $ 680 millones a nivel mundial. Y solo el Viernes Negro, Amazon vendió 32 artículos por segundo.

Con la ayuda de servicios como Facebook, Twitter y correo electrónico, las empresas son capaces de alcanzar prácticamente a cualquiera en el Internet – a todos 6,800 millones de ellos. Aquellos que deseen seguir un MBA (Master en Administración de Empresas) sin duda tendrán que considerar el enorme tamaño de la internet a la hora de tomar sus futuras decisiones empresariales. Y los números detrás del tamaño de la Internet son asombrosos. De hecho, son casi increíbles.

Apple Launches iPhone 4S, iOS 5 & iCloud

iPhone 4S Features Dual-Core A5 Chip, All New Camera, Full 1080p HD Video Recording & Introduces Siri

CUPERTINO, California—October 4, 2011—Apple® today announced iPhone® 4S, the most amazing iPhone yet, packed with incredible new features including Apple’s dual-core A5 chip for blazing fast performance and stunning graphics; an all new camera with advanced optics; full 1080p HD resolution video recording; and Siri™, an intelligent assistant that helps you get things done just by asking. With the launch of iPhone 4S also comes the launch of iOS 5, the world’s most advanced mobile operating system with over 200 new features; and iCloud®, a breakthrough set of free cloud services that work with your iPhone, iPad®, iPod touch®, Mac® or PC to automatically and wirelessly store your content in iCloud and push it to all your devices.

“iPhone 4S plus iOS 5 plus iCloud is a breakthrough combination that makes the iPhone 4S the best iPhone ever,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “While our competitors try to imitate iPhone with a checklist of features, only iPhone can deliver these breakthrough innovations that work seamlessly together.”

iPhone 4S comes with iOS 5, the world’s most advanced mobile operating system, which includes over 200 new features including Notification Center, an innovative way to easily view and manage notifications in one place without interruption and iMessage™, a new messaging service that lets you easily send text messages, photos and videos between all iOS 5 users. iOS 5 will also be available as a free software update for iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS customers allowing them to experience these amazing new features.*

iPhone 4S also introduces Siri, an intelligent assistant that helps you get things done just by asking. Siri understands context allowing you to speak naturally when you ask it questions, for example, if you ask “Will I need an umbrella this weekend?” it understands you are looking for a weather forecast. Siri is also smart about using the personal information you allow it to access, for example, if you tell Siri “Remind me to call Mom when I get home” it can find “Mom” in your address book, or ask Siri “What’s the traffic like around here?” and it can figure out where “here” is based on your current location. Siri helps you make calls, send text messages or email, schedule meetings and reminders, make notes, search the Internet, find local businesses, get directions and more. You can also get answers, find facts and even perform complex calculations just by asking.

iCloud is a breakthrough set of free cloud services, including iTunes® in the Cloud, Photo Stream and Documents in the Cloud, that work seamlessly with your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac or PC to automatically and wirelessly store your content in iCloud and push it to all your devices. When content changes on one device, all your other devices are updated automatically and wirelessly.

iPhone 4S includes an all new camera with the most advanced optics of any phone. The 8 megapixel sensor has 60 percent more pixels so you can take amazing high quality photos with more detail than ever. iPhone 4S includes a new custom lens, a larger f/2.4 aperture and an advanced hybrid IR filter that produce sharper, brighter and more accurate images. The Apple-designed image signal processor in the A5 dual-core chip is built for performance, and coupled with the features built into iOS 5, makes the camera one of the fastest on any phone. With iPhone 4S, the Camera app launches much faster and the shot to shot capability is twice as fast, so you’ll never miss another shot.

New features in the Camera and Photos apps give you instant access to the camera right from the lock screen, and you can also use the volume-up button to quickly snap a photo. Optional grid lines help line up your shot and a simple tap locks focus and exposure on one subject; and the new Photos app lets you crop, rotate, enhance and remove red-eye, and organize your photos into albums right on your device to share them on the go. New iOS 5 features include built-in Twitter integration and iMessage, so you can instantly share your photos via Twitter directly from the Photos app and send photos via iMessage to individuals or groups. And with iCloud’s innovative new Photo Stream service, a photo you take on your iPhone is sent to iCloud and automatically pushed to your iPad, iPod touch, Mac or PC. You can even view your Photo Stream album on your Apple TV®.

iPhone 4S can also now record video in full 1080p HD resolution and with the new video image stabilization feature, you can take richer, smoother videos. Other iPhone 4S video camera improvements include increased sensitivity, sharpness and an increased ability to capture video in low light conditions. With the new iMessage service in iOS 5, you can now instantly share videos with family and friends.

iPhone 4S has the same beautifully thin glass and stainless steel design that millions of customers around the world love, while being completely redesigned on the inside. Apple’s dual-core A5 chip delivers up to twice the processing power and up to seven times faster graphics than iPhone 4, all while maintaining incredible battery life—now up to 8 hours of 3G talk time.

Improving on the innovative stainless steel external, dual-antenna design of iPhone 4, iPhone 4S is the first phone to intelligently switch between two antennas to send and receive. iPhone 4S now supports twice the download speed with HSDPA of up to 14.4 Mbps and iPhone 4S is a world phone, so both CDMA and GSM customers can now roam internationally on GSM networks.**

[Español-Publicado en Impre.com-Piensa Digital-http://blogs.impre.com/piensa-digital/2011/08/24/apple-steve-jobs-renuncia-a-su-posicion-de-jefe-ejecutivo/]

Uno de los co-fundadores de la empresa Apple acaba de anunciar la renuncia de su posición como jefe ejecutivo principal.

Steve Jobs, cuya compañía es sinónima con reproductores de música (iPod), una marca popular de teléfonos móviles (iPhone), tabletas (iPad) y computadoras iMac en el mundo de dispositivos electrónicos, anunció su renuncia el día de hoy.

De parte de la junta de la empresa, Art Levinson dijo: “la extraordinaria visión y el liderazgo de Steve salvó a Apple y la guió hacia su posición como compañía mundial de tecnología más innovadora y valiosa. Steve ha realizado innumerables contribuciones para el éxito de Apple, y que ha atraído e inspirado a los empleados inmensamente creativos de Apple y al equipo ejecutivo de primera clase. En su nuevo papel como presidente de la junta, Steve continuará sirviendo a Apple con su visión única, creatividad e inspiración”.

Tim Cook ha sido nombradocomo el nuevo jefe ejecutivo y formará parte de la misma junta con Steve Jobs.

Actualización 2: Se piensa que la renuncia de Steve Jobs como jefe ejecutivo es debido a su salud. Desde comienzos de este año, Jobs había recibido una baja médica, mientras que Cook desempeñaba todas las operaciones diarias de él. Continuaba Jobs con su participación en las decisiones más primordiales de la empresa. En junio de 2009, Jobs había tenido un transplante de higado.

Con la renuncia de Jobs, parece que hoy ha llegado el final de una era para Apple.

I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.

I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.

As far as my successor goes, I strongly recommend that we execute our succession plan and name Tim Cook as CEO of Apple.

I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.

I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.

Steve

A la Junta de Directores y la Comunidad de Apple:

Siempre dije que cuando llegara el día en que no pudiera cumplir con mis tareas y las expectativas que de mi se tienen como CEO de Apple, yo sería el primero en dejarles saber. Desafortunadamente, ese día llegó.

A través de este medio presento mi renuncia como jefe ejecutivo de Apple. Me gustaría seguir, si la Junta de Directores lo permite, como presidente de la Junta, director y empleado de Apple.

Mientras entra en funciones mi sucesor, recomiendo que Tim Cook sea el jefe ejecutivo de Apple.

Creo que los días más prometedores y brillantes Apple están por venir. Y me veo, en un futuro, contribuyendo al éxito de la empresa desde mi nueva función.
