A Moving Eulogy Written By Mona Simpson
The NY Times has published a eulogy written by Steve Jobs sister, Mona Simpson. It’s a rare and moving look at Steve Jobs. You can read it
Apple Airs Three More iPhone 4S Ads
Just launching today, Apple aired three new iPhone 4S advertisements on top of the already existent one that was originally aired last week. All three of these show off the iPhone 4S, of course, with Apple’s unique marketing technique. Watch them below.
All three of the ads appeal to the major features the iPhone 4S has to boast over the iPhone 4 (except for the first!): iCloud, the improved camera and Siri, respectively below.
I’ve had an in depth look at everything above, and can surely say Apple has effectively showcased them. That brings the total to what now? 4? Yes, two Siri ads, one iCloud and one camera. We’ll keep your posted on any future videos. Of course, the best way to do that would probably be to keep a tab on Apple’s YouTube channel. But I doubt you won’t want to refresh madly for anything Apple except the new iPhones, right?
OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW.
The New York Times has published Mona Simpson’s eulogy for her brother, Steve Jobs.
None of us knows for certain how long we’ll be here. On Steve’s better days, even in the last year, he embarked upon projects and elicited promises from his friends at Apple to finish them. Some boat builders in the Netherlands have a gorgeous stainless steel hull ready to be covered with the finishing wood. His three daughters remain unmarried, his two youngest still girls, and he’d wanted to walk them down the aisle as he’d walked me the day of my wedding.
We all — in the end — die in medias res. In the middle of a story. Of many stories.
Heart rending and hopeful, all of it.

Apple airs new iPhone 4S commercials: Siri, Camera, iCloud
Apple has released 3 more [iPhone 4S commercials](http://www.tipb.com/tag/iphone-4s-commercial], a second on Siri along with one focusing on the new 8mp, 1080p camera, and one on iCloud.
iCloud highlights automatic iTunes Music downloads across devices, Documents in the Cloud propagating updates, iBooks bookmarks copying themselves from iPhone to iPad, and Photo Stream taking the pictures from iPhone and popping them into iPhoto.
Camera shows the fast camera access from the Home screen, pinch-to-digitally-zoom, on-device cropping and red-eye removal, and Twitter integration.
Siri focuses on “what does may day look like”, pulling up the day’s appointments, “can I walk to the Belvedere Hotel from here”, pulling up Maps and directions, “read me that text”, reading the last last SMS message, and “do you think it will snow today”, bringing up the Weather app.
All of this, of course, “on the most amazing iPhone yet”. Check them out below.
