Steve Jobs dons a pair of Groucho glasses and sits in front of a replica of the rosetta stone.

This photograph, titled Nose Jobs, was taken by Tom Zimberoff back in 1989 during an assignment for a magazine. Zimberoff, according to Cult of Mac, made a living during the 80s and 90s taking photographs of “the upcoming tecno-elite” at Silicon Valley. And at the end of each photo shoot, he’d ask his subjects to put on a pair of Groucho glasses for a shot “just for him,” which he’d send to everyone as Christmas cards. Interestingly, Jobs was said to have hated wearing those. The story behind this photo is definitely one for the books, one which Zimberoff himself tells in this article!

This is one of those wars that are win with patent regulators. This is one of those wars that are won with regulators patents. Apple has once again impose its views on a system that will greatly benefit the quality of future cameras iPhones and iPads. The title given to this pantente makes us understand the intentions and what will be the benefits that bring. 

The patent is titled as "MEMS Autofocus actuator". The acronym MEMS means "micro-electrical mechanical systems". The system has been used so far Apple is the VCM (Voice Coil Motor), which in the same patent at hand is represented as a slow system when focus and energy intensive.

The patent indicates that this new system will consume less power, be able to focus faster and also allows the fabrication of smaller devices. But against that item is not exactly simple to manufacture. The patent dates from 2012, its inventor is Richard J. Topliss and even allow us to focus images after shooting. 

Only in Cupertino know if this is a technology that we will see in the next iPhone 6 or later. But such a technology would be well received.

iDrive allows us to save backups of your contacts, photos, videos and calendars, mimicking Apple's cloud to restore a phone from these prints. The key: we have 100 GB in the cloud for less than a euro annually.

No need to seek the plan of a euro price on their website: it is only available as in-app purchase inside the app for iOS. There is also a free plan of 5GB only, but for the price of the 100 GB certainly more than one would pose for backup or even cleaning your data. Remember: a reel of pictures that fills our storage devices always ends up giving more problems than we imagine.
