Anyone who owns an Apple product, or in the case of many of us: many products, may be familiar with Adobe graphic design and creative suites. The Mac in the 80s and early 90s became synonymous with publishing and later graphic design, which in many ways is tied with Adobe’s dominance in this field. This is one facet that separates it from Microsoft up to this very day, even though most apps or software are available cross-platform.
I am also a fan of the Amiga even though I never experienced it when it was at its heigth or when it originally debuted as a I was just a child in the 1980s. However, the Amiga in a way, or at least it seems to me, paved the way for 90s-and-up Apple. The original Mac was monochrome and could not compete with it in multitasking or graphics. It was also behind in creative software as Amiga had EA’s DeluxePaint. However, over time, or at least when Amiga failed as a computing concept, Apple became the creative system to use. …

This will allow you to overcome barriers to AAA console developer focus and hardware limitations of your favorite iOS devices when compared to dedicated gaming consoles or PCs that cost up to $2k per machine. …

Rich push notification are a new method of sending push notifications to customers or clients. They replace the standard and traditional push notification full of a line of text with multimedia content, such as images — and in the case of the iOS platform, video and sound as well.

At one time the Windows Phone seemed like a promising smartphone worth keeping an eye out for, while it was developing its app ecosystem, as a potential competitor to Android and iOS. It had interesting integrations with Microsoft’s Office software suites among many other benefits. However, time has not been kind on Microsoft’s ambitions for the handset.
Microsoft officially ended support for Windows Phone 8 in 2017, and Windows Mobile 10 was the successor to that ill-fated effort to bring Windows to small form factors. It ran on devices with screen sizes below 7” or what most phones, phablets and mini tablets come with. …
Last winter, I went on a trip to Marrakech, Morocco – winter by North and East European where I am from as Morocco tends to stay warm year round. The inexpensive flight to Marrakech felt like a nice excursion. There were many bazaars and street peddlers around Marrakech and you can get anything from exotic spices to carpets and even electronics.
However, on this trip I ran into an unpleasant surprised when it comes to one particular purchase: a new iPhone 7 Plus, or so I thought. While walking around Ja mal square (official name: Jemaa el-Fnaa) a seemingly friendly Senegalese man approached me and offered me a wide range of iPhones he had for sale. He claimed they were genuine and gave me huge discounts from the retail price. …

However, it is still just a concept that many of us don’t believe is anywhere close to reality. The advancements in this regard, however, are closer to reality than you may think.

The Watson has already proven itself by winning a game of Jeopardy. …
Why You Should Consider Software Created Using R Instead of Excel for Your Business Needs
Both R and Excel are excellent choices for a data management strategy and business intelligence. The former is a development language specializing in data science programming while the latter is an application, part of the Microsoft Office suite, used for data management, creating spreadsheets in cells consisting of rows and columns as well as even complex calculations and statistical analysis. It allows for automation as businesses can use it to calculate various metrics as they occur.
These two concepts, one a language and the other an application, often go hand in hand and can both be leveraged within a business for different things. However, consider replacing Excel tasks you rely on for automation and data tracking with software that your programmers can built from the ground up using R and machine learning algorithms. …
