Motorola smartphone to pieces - Computer Point

Into Among open hardware and extreme customization: Motorola working on mobile modular and, in the footsteps of the project Phonebloks

Rome – Motorola has announced that it will launch a project dedicated to the development of a smartphone and modular Customizable in each component by users.

Project Ara


Led by Motorola’s Advanced Technology Group, the project named “Ara” intends to develop a hardware platform open and free : the idea is to offer a customizable product in the minimum functions by the users, as well as overcome the problem of rapid obsolescence (with a consequent impact on e-waste) of smartphones currently in circulation.
Indeed, the latter often being replaced by updated models only in battery life or quality of some components, such as camera, support for certain applications or screen quality: providing the ability to simply and easily replace just the individual components , Motorola thinks he can greatly extend the overall life of a device.

This solution came in the wake of MAKEwithMOTO , an initiative that has seen her organize, with a truck full of smartphones and their various components, a series of workshops that only by the images appear very challenging: you see students and enthusiasts who, adapting programs and technologies available, they try to invent and develop ideas and suggestions very interesting (for example, applications to support the conversations of deaf users). The story that Motorola makes this experience appeals to the spirit of geeks passionate about technology, they speak of open hardware hacking philosophy (the original meaning of the term to hack , put the hand to things, of trying to go it alone for pure spirit of challenge) and then again of “equipment for printing high-end 3D” and open innovation.


It is this enthusiasm seems to have pushed Motorola to ignore the failure of the attempt of customizable laptop Intel (Whitebook initiative) and difficulties you might encounter from the regulatory point of view : To be placed on the market the individual models of smartphones in the U.S. must be approved by the FCC, but you may find difficulties in front of a model without a definite shape.

Moreover, the idea that Motorola has finally learned from this experience is nothing other than its own version of the proposal brought forth by Dave and Hakkens, the creator of Phonebloks: Motorola has just announced that it will collaborate with him and the community that has already gathered around his proposed modular mobile.

Phonebloks is based on a concept as simple as eye-catching: a motherboard, which Motorola calls “endoskeleton”, on which you can decide which components (called “modules”) fit from time to time through simple pins.

Every single module components can be removed and replaced with a function more welcome or a better version of the same component , depending on your needs: they can go to the WiFi module to the gyro, through an extra battery, a camera more performance or processor for a new application.

Even in the case of the project from Motorola, as in that of Phonebloks, the stated objective is to create an ecosystem is a dynamic level of users (picking up the base of smartphone users) and developers: while not talking about standard technologies (speech which is rather a legal recognition of a form shared by all manufacturers) that talk about free and open hardware seems to encourage debate and the blossoming of proposals.

From 1 January 2014 the division of Nokia Device & Services will become a division of the Redmond company, to guide we will take that Stephen Elop says that you can inherit from CEO Steve Ballmer’s chair. But this is not the most important aspect. It is instead the technological component, the strategy of product development. As will be digested, for example, the new tablet (in some ways a clone better conceived of Surface Rt) in the belly of Microsoft, Microsoft than that everything seems to be able to do except play as hardware vendor? Survive, and how, in offering consumer Redmond, in the light of the sales flop of Surface and expectations mini versions of the latter and the fact that the choice of battle with Apple and Google with a mobile PC to its brand has disappointed not just the producers partner?

Into The doubts about the fate of the technologies with Nokia copyright (hardware, design, interfaces, services) in essence are not lacking. And it is also evident from the secrecy with which managers deal with the possible evolution of Nokia and Windows Phone.
In mobile phones, Microsoft must first build an ecosystem (platform, terminals, app) can compete, in the eyes of users and developers with those rivals. The tablet Lumia, we discovered that he was born with Windows Rt at the express wish of Microsoft, paradoxically opens the horizon of uncertainty that also affects 32 thousand employees who leave the company. Speaking with some of them you have the impression that the imminent transition from Nokia to the great big family car company Microsoft is a source of some disturbance.

Into More clear, at least on paper, is the future instead of the “new” Nokia, that strong of $ 7.2 billion from the sale of mobile phones is a candidate for a leading role in the B2B field, even at the level of innovation . A company whose armed wing will be Here (maps and geolocation services) and Networks (network infrastructure) and whose soul will be the division of research and development Technology. From 2016, a detail that maybe this has escaped most people, Nokia will be able to go back to selling phones under its own brand. Microsoft will be able to use up to 31 December 2015, then will have to settle for just the brands Lumia and Asha.

Into Another “new entry” announced in Abu Dhabi, the smartphone Lumia 1320 6-inch screen and a list price of $ 339, confirms that it can also be considered a “dangerous” trend. Making smart device accessible to a mass market, contenendone costs and functionality, affect the forward stroke of innovation? Or at least reduce it to a single dimension-level incremental hardware? The phenomenon of BYOD, the “bring your own device” is real and brings with it obvious benefits. But it is to deal with the user’s tastes, tastes that (he says Gartner) are moving more and more towards low-cost device, see the 7-inch tablet, and demonstrate a degree of disaffection end smartphones high. The consumerization, remember, has already cornered several eminent actors of the universe Mobile. BlackBerry on everyone.

Renewables: eco-festival of the Roman Forum, an event organized by Legambiente

Yesterday’s (26 October 2013) was a day of respect for the environment in Rome, namely the Roman Forum, where 40 Legambiente and other environmental groups have promoted eco-festival for renewables, event focused on self-energy. Legambiente considers that through the clean sources bills you can get up to 50% less heavy and less polluted air.

“The coal lobby and want to stop an oil change for the benefit of citizens, environmental and enterprise” said Legambiente, taking the example of Prato allo Stelvio, a town in the province of Bolzano, where a consortium of citizens engaged in the production and sale to the shareholders of the energy created by the combination of renewable energy sources.

iPhone 5C and 5S in Italy: prices and features - Italiaglobale.it

iPhone 5C and 5S

“This is our best iPhone launch ever, more than nine million new iPhones sold, a new record for the first weekend of sales. The demand for the new iPhone has been incredible, and while we exhausted our initial supply of iPhone 5s, the stores continue to receive shipments of new iPhone regularly. We appreciate everyone’s patience and we are working hard to build enough new iPhone for everyone. ” So Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, commented on September 25 another sales record pulverized by Apple: the first weekend of availability and put on the market were in fact sold as many as 9 million iPhone 5S and 5C. The two models also landed in Italy and is the same Apple to announce it with a small box in his official suto. As of yesterday, 25 October, in fact, are also on sale in the Bel Paese and their cost varies from model to model, in the best tradition of Cupertino. iPhone 5S: € 729 (16GB), € 839 (32GB) and € 949 (64GB) – iPhone 5C: € 629 (16GB) and € 729 (32GB).

Let us read through the description given by Apple itself on its website, all the features and design of the notes. “With iPhone 5s, use your phone is faster, easier and even a little ‘futuristic. Because now there’s Touch ID, the new sensor of identity fingerprints. Put your finger on the home button, and the iPhone is unlocked: Do not need anything else. It’s an extremely convenient and secure way to access to your phone. With your footprint also authorizes purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store and iBooks Store, without having to enter the password. And the Touch ID is capable of reading at 360 °, so it does not matter if you hold the iPhone horizontally, vertically, or as it happens: still recognizes your fingerprint, and understands who you are. And as with Touch ID can register more fingerprints will also acknowledge those people you trust. “” There’s speed. And then there’s the speed of the new chip A7, which makes CPUs and graphics up to two times more reactive than the A6 chip. Even more astonishing is that the chip A7 transforms iPhone 5s in the first 64-bit smartphone in the world: namely an architecture-level desktop phone in a super-thin. In addition, iOS 7 is designed specifically for 64-bit, then maximizes the performance of the chip A7. “

“The A7 chip supports OpenGL ES v3.0 to give you the superdettagliata graphics and visual effects that evolved until today You found only on Macs, PCs and game consoles. The difference is staggering. Think for example of the imaginary worlds of certain games. Shading and textures true. The rays of the sun reflected on the water. You will live gaming experience more real. 7 and iOS app are included in the iPhone are optimized for the chip A7. The Camera app is a perfect example: taking advantage of the new processor on the chip ISP A7, comes to offer an autofocus 2 times faster, faster shots, and videos with higher frame rates. 1 E do not think that the battery are affected, because the chip is designed to A7 incredible energy efficiency. “

Into “The new M7 is the ideal shoulder coprocessor chip A7. It is designed specifically to measure the movement data collected from accelerometer, gyroscope and compass. A task that would be for the A7 chip, but the M7 is much more efficient. So the app for fitness that record physical activity accessing data from the coprocessor M7 without constantly engage the A7 chip. So much less impact on battery consumption. The coprocessor M7 know if you’re walking, running or even driving. Maps is a good example when parking, the navigation system automatically switches from driving directions to those trails. And since the M7 know when you’re traveling in a vehicle, your iPhone 5s does not ask you if you want to connect to Wi-Fi networks along the way. Then, if the phone is still a bit ‘like when you sleep, the M7 reduces the frequency of connections to the network to conserve battery power. “

“iPhone 5s contains advanced technology designed especially for the hardware and software of the iSight camera: now everyone can do wonderful shots, anywhere and at any time. Because it is much more logical to teach iPhone to make great photos, which in turn all professional photographers. Here are some of the many things that the new iSight camera can do. “” IPhone 5s supports up to 13 LTE bands: more than any other smartphone. It means that you’ll upload speed and download amazing in even more countries. And 4G LTE operators around the world are becoming more numerous, so you can whiz online even when you’re abroad. “

“iOS 7 is designed with you in mind iPhone 5s. Everything is designed to take advantage of the advanced technologies of the iPhone 5s: the A7 chip 64-bit, Touch the fingerprint sensor ID and the new, even more astonishing iSight camera. It also has a 7 iOS multitasking smarter, Airdrop and Control Center, innovations that make it easy, fast and fun to your everyday things. No matter what you’re doing or what app you’re using: iOS understand how it takes a moment. It is the most advanced mobile operating system in the world, in its most developed form. And the best part is that you already know how to use it. “

DESIGN:

“iPhone 5s is extreme precision down to a single micron. And it shows in everything. The beautiful aluminum shell. The elegant luster of metal and glass. The sapphire crystal in the home key, and another crystal to protect the iSight camera. Attention to the design and construction processes that has no equal. It could not nascerne an iPhone 5s incredibly thin and light. In three elegant versions: gold, silver and gray sidereal. “

Day dedicated to renewable energy in Rome - Gaianews.it

Yesterday October 26 Rome has hosted a fair amount of public in Via dei Fori Imperiali the event “Italian renewable – for a clean future, environmental innovation, the building renovation and research.” The event was promoted by Legambiente, WWF, Greenpeace, Kyoto Club, and it was a day of celebration dedicated to the different production technologies of renewable energy, such as sun and wind, but also energy efficiency.

Into Italian-renewable

Into The stands were allowed to associations and companies of the Italian renewable exhibit their products, along with organic and sustainable produce stand, workshops of all kinds for children and teens, Ciclofficina, tracks for go-carts and so more.

Into “In the square for a future Italian energy focused on renewables and efficiency. Because the energy revolution begun in recent years, with more than 600 thousand plants distributed in our country and more than 30% of the electricity needs met, should not be stopped. Because today it is possible to greatly reduce the dependence on fossil fuels, which are bad for people’s health, damage the environment and aggravate the economic crisis. And because this is where the interest of Italy and of all citizens, and the unique perspective of development that allows you to stop climate change, reduce poverty and ensure peace, “reads the press release.

Into According to the organizers, the day is required, as a sort of outcry peaceful, to “react to an attack on renewable sources by those who would stop them to keep alive polluting coal and fuel oil, yet another injustice, benefiting even billions of euros taken in the bill or by general taxation. “

Into No one could miss the Greenpeace activists who demonstrated against the exploitation of the Arctic and reminded activists still in Russian prisons.

"I will tell you the secrets of Bezos and Amazon" - The Press

Businessweek Into A journalist tells the story of the giant trade information and its founder
between success and gray areas

Into It has not yet passed the mark of fifty years – will make them in January – but Jeff Bezos, the founder and CEO of Amazon, is already one of those characters that will remain in the history of the Internet. Not only for having created from scratch one of the largest, most innovative and versatile companies that exist in the digital economy, capable of successfully introducing products such as the Kindle, revolutionizing the reading habits of an entire generation of consumers, but for ‘ approach to the business world. Bezos, unlike so many soldiers of fortune of the new economy has always believed in long-term projects, and it is perhaps for this reason that while many rivals have broken out with the bubble of the millennium, Amazon is still there: more powerful, aggressive and formidable than ever. And after all little known, without the bulk of hagiographic literature or dystopian that has accompanied the rise of companies like Google, Apple or Microsoft. For this reason, the book of American journalist Brad Stone, “Sell everything – Jeff Bezos and Amazon was” out Monday (Hoepli, 18 €), is a very interesting read. Stone is a veteran among the reporters who deal with Silicon Valley and his story comes out radiographed Amazon and naked, with all its strengths and weaknesses. Here is an interview that the author has granted The Stampa.it.

Why did you write a book on Amazon?

Into the past few years there have been many deep and well-written books on Google, Apple and Facebook. These technology companies, along with Amazon, are changing the world. I thought there was finally an opportunity to tell the story of the Amazon – one of the first companies of the Internet, which has changed the way we shop and read. I have dealt with Amazon since the late 90s for Newsweek, the New York Times, and now for Bloomberg Businessweek. I have relied on all these years of journalistic work, and on many interviews with senior executives from Amazon, including Jeff Bezos, in the two years it took to research and then write the book.

From her story reveals a mixed picture of an extremely aggressive, which is not always made many qualms about dealing with partners and rivals, and whose employees, at all levels, are subjected at a rate of grueling work. We have to be afraid of Amazon, and the business model that is?

Into I do not think that consumers should be afraid to Amazon. The company is structured to please consumers and has created many best options in the traditional shopping experience. But the rivals should be afraid. Amazon is an extraordinarily disciplined company with a business model very efficiently, led by a CEO in the leg that is infinitely loved by shareholders and which is therefore allowed to expand without being too much to look at quarterly profits. The rivals have to protect their business from Amazon, for example, making sure you have a single “customer proposition” that can not be easily copied. And the partners have to be very careful to protect their interests when dealing with Amazon, because Amazon will continue to seek to redefine the agreements to please their customers and pursue its interests.

Bezos seems to have built the company in his image and likeness, as Jobs did with Apple. What do you believe would happen if it were to leave the company?

Into Jeff Bezos is about to turn 50 years old and everything suggests that still remain many years at the helm. But the possibility that leave will always be a basic concern for any investor to Amazon. The company is incredibly complex and varied and it is difficult to imagine that someone else is as versatile as Bezos, who is able to drive it. That said, there are senior executives of Amazon as Jeff Wilke, Andy Jassy and Diego Piacentini who have worked for the company for many years and have a mindset very similar to that of Bezos.

the Bezos has been helpful in gathering material for the book? There are details that he found it difficult to know and who are considered “secret” society?

Into Although Bezos has told me personally that thinks it is “too early” to tell the story of Amazon, he also said “I’m rooting for you,” and endorsed many interviews with family, friends and leaders from Amazon. At the same time, there are many secrets of Amazon that I have tried and failed in revealing. For example, the company is notoriously private when it comes to its internal metrics. I know nothing more than anyone else, for example, on how many Amazon Prime members there are, in spite of all my efforts to find out. Overall, Amazon is very disciplined in managing its internal communications and its metrics. It made me so very happy to get hold of a very revealing memorandum, written by Bezos in person, which I have reproduced in Chapter 11. The memo “Amazon.Love” written by Bezos for his executive staff reveals his thoughts on how he would like the company to be loved rather than feared, when they will be even bigger than it is today.

seem to be no limits to what Bezos aspires to do and what it is capable of doing. What are the next steps of Amazon, according to the information collected?

Into Amazon is expanding in almost every direction imaginable. It is amazing to observe. The company is expanding internationally – has recently introduced new sites in Mexico and India. Is building new hardware, we could see a set-top box (a kind of decoder to view the channels via the Internet or cable, ed) Amazon TV at the end of this year or in early 2014, and perhaps even the new Amazon phones. It is also adding new types of product to its “universal store.” He recently unveiled the category “Amazon Art” and is expanding the sale of food in the United States. There are simply no limits to the type of products that Bezos believed to be sold online, and the areas of the world where he hopes to excel.

What are the strongest competitors of Amazon, those who fear the most?

Into The Amazon executives say that their focus on customers, not on competitors. But I do not think this is entirely true. I think Bezos and the Kindle team are working hard to create an ecosystem of products and services that can compete with the Kindle platforms from Apple and Google. This is critical. As consumers are increasingly buying, watching movies and reading e-books on their tablets and smartphones, Amazon needs to improve its business relating to devices or risk losing customers to these rivals. Amazon probably also closely observes what they do retail giants such as Walmart and Tesco.

What is your opinion on both the human and the professional, on Jeff Bezos and Amazon in general?

I have enormous respect and admiration for someone who has created so much in so little time. In less than two decades Bezos has made it immeasurably easier to shop and gave readers instant access to almost every book published in the last hundred years. While I wonder if some of its business strategies are not unnecessarily cruel, on the other employs more than one hundred thousand people and has supported many families and many careers. There are certainly aspects of Amazon that should be put under observation – such as the treatment of workers in its “fulfillment centers” (distribution centers, at the center of some controversy for the working conditions “inhumane” ed) but in Overall, it is a great story of how a man and his colleagues have placed a huge bet on the Internet and they won.

Datagate, NSA violated site: Anonymous claims but the agency denies ... - The Messenger

Since out of the shadows and ended up in the eye following the revelations of the ‘mole’ Edward Snoweden, there is no peace for the largest U.S. intelligence agency, the National Security Agency. His official website has gone black-out, and immediately hackers Anonymous were quick to say it was their work, but the same Nsa then stated that it was “a technical error.”

Into After that for a few hours the site was inaccessible, a spokesman Vanee Vines, confirmed that there were problems and that they were going verifications. “We’re working,” he merely stated. At the same time, other sources have indicated that there was no indication of an intrusion by hackers, nor a subtraction of data. However, even less than an hour after the site went Breakdown, on Twitter have begun to come out tweets from accounts linked to Anonymous, more or less reliable than that suggested that it was a retaliation for their action the activity of global electronic surveillance conducted by the NSA. An action set-sign with the technique of ‘disributed denial of service’ (DDoS) attacks, or an overload of traffic, contacts conveyed by hackers to send haywire sites targeted.

C ‘was a reference to the DDoS from a Twitter account called annoymousAsia, considered affiliated with the Anonymous group, and also by others, as well as from other accounts always referable to the same group, they arrived ironic, such as AnonyOps: “Aww, do not fear for the interruption of nsa.gov. They have a backup copy of the internet. ” Not long after, the NSA has stated, however, indicated that it was a technical problem and not an intrusion by hackers. “Nsa.gov remained inaccessible for several hours this evening due to an internal error occurred during a scheduled update operation,” the agency said in an e-mail cited by ABC News. “The issue will be resolved” in the next few hours, you can still read the text, which also states that “allegations that the interruption was caused by an attack ‘disributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are not true.”

The Director of the Agency. “We do not just spy on anyone, and certainly not the Americans: we are following the terrorists. And so we also help our allies. We found 54 key events related to terrorism plots, financial transactions and so on. We discovered we have 13 in the U.S., and another 41 abroad, including 25 in Europe. ” This was stated by the director of the National Security Agency (NSA), Keith Alexander, in an interview with the website “Armed with science ‘in Republic shows some excerpts. “We have two missions: to work with foreign services and protect our networks,” says Alexander. “The whole of America works with cybernetics, and we guarantee the security.” “My concern is that reveal the means available to inform the terrorists and we will cause irreversible damage. Now our ability to stop them is reduced. Therefore, when people die, who has revealed that data must be held accountable, “said Alexander, referring to Edward Snowden. “Right now, journalists have in their possession something like 50 thousand documents and they are selling and distributing. We must find a way to stop them, do not know what is up to the courts and politicians but from my point of view you can not allow this to continue. “

Google and the mystery hangar no. 3 data center will float in the ... - The Messenger

There is a mysterious hangar in the San Francisco Bay Area that could revolutionize the history of the web. There is talk of server , the enormous energy they consume and the need to cool them.

Google is planning where to keep barges their data centers in the ocean? A is Cnet wondering. To understand the magnitude of the news (not yet confirmed) you can think of that 2% of the total consumption of electricity in the United States in recent years has been “eaten” by the Data Center, the data centers of the giants of the web , Google Yahoo, Facebook, those centers that collect billions in training and have raised much attention NSA, the National Security Agency at the center of the scandal Date Gate.

Or you can think of in like a ship in international waters containing billions of data can not be subject to the law on security of the United States, those rules that have led the NSA to obtain information from web giants. There is talk of a patent for a period of five years to build bases offshore where contain the data center.

CNET speculates that Big G is in some way connected with the mysterious building number 3 in Treasure Island San Francisco Bay. A building that appears to be the basis for a barge to house a data center float. Two weeks ago, in the meantime, a building very similar was towed on a barge in the harbor of Portland, Maine. On Wednesday, the Portland Herald speculated that the barge may have something to do with the patent for a floating data center.

The Google Patent filed in 2008 describes a data center on a ship perpetually powered by ocean currents: it uses sea water to cool the servers. According Daniel Terdiman of CNET “Google’s fingerprints are everywhere.” The area was placed under a high level of surveillance, but it is the satellite imagery offered by Google to unveil something.

Jonathan Koomey, Stanford researcher and expert in data center says anything is possible: the problem of salt water as a source of cooling would easily surmountable. The hangar is placed under a strict surveillance. As told the reporter Cnet intimate entrance a sign: “You are entering a secure building. Please leave smart phone, camera phone, video camera, and or other audio / video devices. “

"The Secrets of Amazon? They are the same Jeff Bezos.'ll Tell you the ... - The Republic


How Amazon has changed our conception of the object book?
“Twenty years ago, one of the most common was to try a specific volume in a library. Without finding it. Amazon has changed this situation by making available every book in the mail. As a result, the so-called publishers’ catalogs came back to life. Then in 2007, starting in the U.S., Amazon has made another up with the Kindle, making every book that is instantly downloadable. Along the way, the company has continued to create new opportunities for authors, for example by giving them the opportunity to self-publish if the big publishers are not interested in their work. There was obviously a cost: many bookstores have closed or are over the edge, as the chain Borders here in the U.S.. But every observer must consider this cost than the price of stagnation in the publishing business. In other words, what would have been the world’s Book today if e-books were not available for many young readers, now tied to their smartphones and tablets? Bezos and Amazon, has steered the books in the twenty-first century. “ That idea is made of Jeff Bezos?
“It’s one of the greatest entrepreneurs, on par with Steve Jobs and Sam Walton of Walmart. businessman Very few have managed to be both founders, ie people who had the winning idea , that “concretizzatori”, capable of making the CEO, leading a great company. Bezos does both, while continuing to invent new things.’s also one very hard and ruthless, characteristics that maybe are a prerequisite for success in the world of the giants of the Internet and distribution. “

Why Bezos is so attracted to other projects such as aerospace, Blue Origin, or from traditional media, as evidenced by the recent acquisition of the Washington Post?
“Bezos puts into practice what he calls” minimizing the possibility of regret “over the decisions he makes, when you are old, you think you will regret having neglected some possibility? Under these business activities outside the Amazon often does in fact nothing more than chase the dreams of when he was young. Grew up watching Star Trek and the Apollo moon landing. has always wanted to visit the area and to make it affordable for anyone. And it also grew up reading voraciously: today’s managers Amazon devour many books, not to mention that his wife is a writer. So back to the question, do you really believe they can resurrect the Washington Post and make it again a major newspaper. “

Bezos internet is just a year zero: what are the next steps for Amazon?
“Amazon is expanding in almost every direction possible. Will grow internationally, introducing new categories of products, such as kinds food, and develop other types of hardware and devices, such as phones and set-top box.’s not just a store where you sell everything but true “everything company.”

In what Amazon passages reminiscent of another great success story hi-tech products such as Apple?
“Both groups were created by visionary founders who demanded excellence from everyone who worked with them. But Amazon’s business is vastly more complex. Apple can churn out a large device and have it to the customers. Amazon is the distribution market that brings a product from point A to point B, and every ten million customers in more the challenge is infinitely more complicated. Amazon is also a company by low profit margins and often serve their own challenges like to earn. Apple is instead a company with high profit margins. A luxury. “

We therefore landed, the Global Village of Marshall McLuhan who were destined to” global store “by Jeff Bezos?
” Even Amazon connects people in many ways. Think for example the reviews of the products on the website or in the discussions between readers on the social purchased months ago, Goodreads. Customers on Amazon have more power to communicate one another and learn from their purchases as never before. “

Cloud computing, now the HDX Kindle Fire: what remains of the initial vision of Jeff Bezos?
“I think the vision of Bezos was precisely to create a store that sells everything. He just put this idea into practice early in an interesting way as it rained opportunities. Now the shelves of the store are filled with physical products such as books, furniture and industrial, but also as a digital e-book and movie streaming. And even intangible services. “

Apple: iPhone 5s and 5c 'land' in Italian, "white night" and DJ sets - AGI - Journalistic Agency Italy

Apple iPhone 5s 5c and landed in Italy and dj set white night 22:23 October 25, 2013 Into (AGI) – Rome, October 25 – The new iPhone 5s 5c and landed in Italy. As with any launch of a new ‘melafonino’, the major telephone and some electronics chains have organized a “white night”, with the opening of the extraordinary outlets. Tim opened the doors of its stores in 18 cities’ Italian, starting at 23:30 and midnight and one minute customers were able to buy the highly anticipated Apple products. Vodafone has organized two special events in Rome and Milan, with DJ sets and open bar.

Incoming Air and mini Retina iPad, the new tablet in detail

In Milan Into the appointment ‘was at the Vodafone Store S. Babila, with DJ Andrea Ratti, while in Rome, fans of the ‘apple’ gathered at the Vodafone store in Via del Corso 417, with DJ Feliz.

iPhone 5S and 5C now also in Italy The ritual of waiting infects ... - The Messenger

That Apple is a religion. And like all religions, it’s got its rituals. must start from this, indispensable prerequisite if you want to try to understand what happens inside and outside of Apple stores to the onset of each new, expensive device, although not very different from the previous, perhaps only a few months left before .

Do not be surprised if the cult of the Cupertino company has been exported here in Italy: the file kilometers outside the store are not “un’americanata” or something that you see only in Japan or Korea. This morning, in the capital, outside the Apple store to Port of Rome before the opening there were about 150 people, mostly boys between 18 and 26 years. Many of them have stayed there, waiting for the doors would open and transparent the store to buy them to be allowed to enter, the modest sum of 729 euro, their new iPhone 5S, in the basic version. Only a few have opted for the cheapest iPhone 5C, the colorful but less innovative, which costs 629 euro.

It does not matter if the concept of “new”, for the company founded by Steve Jobs and technological devices in general, is actually a very relative concept and extremely transient. At the end of Porta di Roma the first was Luke, a twenty year old, followed by Antony, 23 year old photographer who can not wait to come out to buy the new iPad as well. But the same scenes we saw in Bologna, Milan, or Marcianise in Campania. Just to say that the cult of Apple succeeds well to unite Italy.

The rite of so-called “Mac Evangelist” is the same everywhere: the tail, the wait along with rivals but they are also companions, because in the end they all share the same faith. And then chants, some pushing and finally the curtain that opens before the eyes of the pilgrims, the divine light that shines the Apple logo, the staff in blue t-shirt dancing, clapping, laughing, runs and jumps everywhere, with lots of music. The store becomes the scene, consumerism becomes a spectacle.

The transparent doors of the church open, the faithful enter, greeted by the ushers-priests, who receive them lovingly and with little regard accompany them to take the Eucharist the sacrament par excellence: the purchase. In the Apple Store is not passed to the cashier, because it is the case that passes by you: the clerk hands you directly to the ATM machine, and you’re done. Free to go and spread the word. At least until the next novelty.

European record price of iPhone 5s and 5c, an Italian story - Macity

In Italy Into iPad costs as in other European countries, the iPhone is costing more. In an indiscretion old of more than two years, the possible explanations for what seems an inexplicable fact that all behavior has its roots in Italian.

No penalty for the prices of iPad Air in Italy. This comes from the collection of costs at European level for the new model of tablet.Into As you can see from the diagram that we put on this page, the new device presented last Wednesday and arriving Nov. 1, will be available in Apple stores, the APR and online at the same price that this has in the main EU markets. Not affected by the VAT, one point higher than in Spain and three points more than in Germany or France. In the transalpine country, indeed, the iPad costs 10 euro more, probably due to the taxes levied on storage devices (something similar to our fee for the right to copy). In the U.S. alone the iPad is less expensive, but this is a practice that Apple has always followed and which provides a mark for the location and the different logistics infrastructure and labor costs outside the USA. In practical terms this means that it is not befitting to go abroad to buy an iPad, as, instead, it might be interesting to do for the iPhone and as is clear from the second table.

Into The comparison between the two products clearly an aspect discussed and debated, even ardently, in a thousand different items: the mark-up to the iPhone in our country compared to other nations. In this controversial case, many have launched accusations to Apple, accused of dealing from Italy stepdaughter and to encourage other nations, such as Germany or France, or maybe Switzerland. In fact we would wonder why this happens only for iPad or iPhone, and not for other products such as computers and accessories. Why Apple punishes Italy only for iPhone?
Possible answer hatching in our mailbox by two and a half years, in the form of anonymous email, delivered by a self-styled former manager Tim, in a presumed position of having had access useful information to understand why in Italy iPhone costs more than anything else.

price price ipad iPhone 5s

Into In that message, sent in the days when the iPad was going to go to the stores of the partners who already had the iPhone, but not in those of Tim described a very tense situation between Apple and the mobile arm of Telecom Italy where the ‘ operator claimed to be applied for the tablet the same conditions that had been agreed for iPhone “mean by this – told us the person who had sent the mail – list prices higher so as to assign to those sold without a contract, as had been agreed iPhone. “

Into The reference was to a previous episode, dating back to the launch of the iPhone 4 and that would explain a lot, if not all, of the Italian record price in Europe and the world for the iPhone without a contract.

Into In that context, Apple would have been forced to accept the fact on the basis of intense negotiations, the conditions demanded by Tim, whose towing then put Vodafone, for our country: ie a price “facial” highest version unlocked; goal: make more attractive offers with subscription. In short, according to mobile operators, Apple should not have done what he had done with iPhone 3GS, sold unlocked on its website at a price lower than that of the operators, so as to make the purchase in a subscription offering unattractiveness, as well as laughable compared to economic benefits (in fact in Italy the phone you pay for everything when you buy with a contract, even if you pay in installments), despite the habit of Italians to pay in full the phones to switch providers when they see fit.

Into That this was a necessary step on the part of the operators, because of the very low margins and binding conditions to which their iPhones are sold by Apple, or a simple desire to make cash in the mail is not specified. What we do know is that if Apple had not accepted the conditions of Tim and Vodafone, the two main Italian mobile operators (60 million numbers in two), they were ready to give up iPhone, something that Apple prestige and visibility could not afford. Hence the decision to sell and increase the price of the iPhone 4, a tradition kept until today, which makes Italy the country in the world, some countries in the developing world apart, where the iPhone is more expensive.

Into That reconstruction is true is open to question, but certainly it is highly likely and to prove it there are a long series of clues. From the fact that, for example, Three (which was not part of the duo that would sit around a table and threatened to cancel the offer iPhone in stores) has repeatedly offered iPhone without a contract at a price lower than that offered by Apple formally , the switch from delays in the timing of the launch of Apple iPhone 4 announced agreements for iiphone, ending with the news that Macitynet picked up during that time and that gave Tim out of the game for iPhone 4. At that time we attributed the event to historically always turbulent relationship between Tim and Apple, when it actually would have been debates about the price of the phone and the economic opportunities offered in terms of promotions contract with holding court in the discussions.

Into So if in Italy there is a difference in price of iPhone 5s and 5c compared to other countries blame, to give heed to this reconstruction is not Apple, but mobile operators, Tim first and second Vodafone who took advantage of the occasion was made by Intavolata by the competitor to slip into the same rope. The fault, of course, indirectly, if we could be of Italian as well, have always been used to buy phones without contract and pay handsomely for the privilege that costs a lot but gives full freedom to switch providers if you prefer.

Into Apple may just be a victim of these conditions imposed by our market or, if nothing else, a kind of Pontius Pilate who preferred to wash their hands of the situation to attack the wagon where he applied for his master, also making good face game. After all, if someone asked to raise prices of iPhone, increasing not only for himself but also for the benefit of Apple, profit margins, giving her the opportunity to earn fiourescent 50 euro more than you would have hoped, at the same time taking charge hundreds of thousands of iPhone, instead of lasciarela to fight alone to sell iPhones with lower margins, why say no?

iPhone 5S and 5C for sale in Italy, here are the rates of the operators: it ... - Il Sole 24 Ore

Into

Into The good news is that the rates for the iPhone 5S have become more expensive than last year (while of course the iPhone 5C has no comparison possible, since this is the first time that Apple proposes a model lower-end-though not much cheaper-than-peak). Now the starting bid is the Top 400 of 3 Italy, to 24,50 € per month plus € 70 in advance (for the 5S 16 GB) or 19.50 (for 5C, without advance) with 400 minutes, 100 sms and 2 GB of internet. For comparison: last year the Top 400 with iPhone 5 was at 29 Euros per month, with no down payment.

  • iPhone, the new offers of Tim and Vodafone
  • Into This year 3 Italy confirms the cheapest rates, given monthly fees, any advances, and traffic included. However, the difference in fee with other operators in some cases is quite small, about 5 euro a month, and then those who prefer the services of competitors may not be groped by the price. Keep in mind that 3 has weekly thresholds for the calculation of traffic, so it is easier to stay within monthly from the thresholds adopted by its competitors (that question does not arise, of course, for the rates unlimited sms and calls). 3 also requires, to those who take the iPhone, an initial contribution of 90 € which is returned in the form of discount in any twelve month (they are not lost money, therefore, it may dry out having to anticipate). Last, the Internet network 3 has a cover substantially lower than that of competitors. While it is the operator with 3G network 42 Megabit (HSPA) more extensive, does not support the navigation GPRS / EDGE and LTE coverage very worst of Tim and Vodafone (although it intends to close the gap by December). However, Vodafone and Tim do pay a surcharge of 10 € per month for the LTE (additional fees on normal), while only 3 Italian one euro more. Tim with this premium is canceled with the lowest expensive (Unlimited Premium).

    Into All in all, 3 Italy is very strong on offers of admission, as the competitors start at 30 (Tim) or 39 (Vodafone) EUR per month (plus advance € 99, ??in both cases), for the 5S. For the initial 5C rates are 30 € per month (without advance) for Tim and 34 Euros per month with 99 Euros for initial Vodafone.
    In fact, the tariff comparisons have now a margin of arbitrariness because the operators have differentiated rates by introducing elements not directly comparable. Tim’s special for example have indeed a higher fee than those of Italy 3 but include unlimited minutes to Tim. Who has a lot of friends with this operator will be able to find them cheaper than those that have a fee of 3 cheaper but still a limited number of calls.

    Into On the rates of calls and unlimited text messages, the cheapest offer in the strict sense is still 3 Italy, which on this front has become more competitive than last year: EUR 39,50 per month for iPhone and 5C 44,50 € per month for iPhone 5S. With up to 20 GB included: competing offers more generous stop just 5 GB. Telecom is not far: 50 € per month for All Inclusive Unlimited (2 GB of internet) with the iPhone 5S.Per 5C are 50 euro per month plus 10 € per month for 24 months, the first six months of the contract (for 30 canons) does not have an additional charge for the phone. With Vodafone Relax with 5S instead of the cost is 59 € per month (2 GB of internet), more than 99 initials. Five euro per month less for 5C.

    Into Going up in price, you open up some interesting differences for Tim and Vodafone, with the All-Inclusive Premium Unlimited and Vodafone Complete Relaxation, respectively. In fact include traffic to / from Europe and the U.S. (3 aspect that Italy does not compete). With Tim the fee inclusive of 5S is 60 euro per month, compared to the 79 euro per month (plus 5 euro initial) Complete Relaxation. This offer is not the only not to provide any extra monthly for the 5S.
    Obviously we have shown, in all cases, the price for the 16 GB model. You go up to 32 and 64 GB.

    Into All things considered, if we remember that the iPhone 5S costs from € 739 per month free from the contract, thanks to an operator would save over 400 € (about 30 months); less with the 5C, according to our calculations. With the additional benefit of not having to anticipate money or only a small part.
    Do not forget though that it is a move to ponder well. First, let’s do it for phones with which we are willing to stay for 30 months at least. We must ask ourselves whether it may be better to wait for the iPhone 6. The choice of the operator is delicate, too. Better not bind us to one that we have never experienced before in our area we may find that the reception is not that good.
