<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><b>SP's: </b>“He might also be remembered for his negative personality”, says Steve Wozniak in the video “Woz On Jobs”. The clip includes snippets from the movie and featuring Steve Wozniak.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Steve Jobs, a man who was always praised for what he made out of a company which rules on the list of world’s most valuable companies. People stand for days outside the apple stores just to be the first buyers of the magnificent iPhone. They don’t know why they like it, but they just do, and it is the “One last thing” Steve wanted from his customers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Apart from Jobs, there is another unsung hero who has contributed to the success of Apple. Steve Wozniak, always been away from the limelight, although Apple wasn’t possible without his engineering skills.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Woz still remembers those before Apple days with Jobs, calls him “Steve Jobs Zero”, for what he was a completely different person. He recollects memories of all those pranks, their initial efforts for making Apple into existence and much more.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>"He might also be remembered for his negative personality. I think that’s going to go with his legacy forever. But he led the world in the future and everybody else then would follow once they saw it."</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Woz said in the video, and he has been quite busy regarding the promotion of the new flick on Jobs. The movie focuses on what most of us don’t know or I must say don’t want to know, the dark side of Steve Jobs, what was he as a person.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Jobs wasn’t well-versed with engineering skills but he had the audacity to do things without a second thought. What we call, he had the ability to package his product in such a way that it looked so compelling, people couldn’t wait to get their hands-on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Although, numerous movies have been done on Jobs, but this one change the way we admire him as a person. Steve Jobs, the movie is all set for a worldwide release on October 23, 2015, with Michael Fassbender as Jobs and Seth Rogen as Woz.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Rage room – admit it, you need this in your life more than anything. The ever increasing pressure of work, and its imbalance with your personal life, demands a secret place where you can vent all the anger.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Along the similar lines, in the Lodz town of Poland, a new “Rage Room” has opened, where you can pay to break household gadgets and items like computer monitors, TV sets, glass cups and more.</span></div>

The movie has been receiving tons of love since then and inspiring many gadgets including Hoverboard.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Back to the Future movie was based on the concept of time travel that was made possible with Doc’s flux capacitor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Preparing for the Back to the Future fiesta between Oct. 21 and 26, automobile company Ford has decided to put a flux capacitor right in your car.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Doc’s flux capacitor is what made the time travel possible and Ford’s device is going to cost you $1.2 million. In the movies, flux capacitor converted the classic Delorean into a flying time machine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Ever irritated your best friends by mimicking their facial expressions and experienced an immense amount of pleasure? Along the similar lines, the genius minds from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, and the Stanford University have developed a software that puts your expressions on someone else’s face.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Microsoft’s Lumia 520 is company’s most successful Windows Phone in the market and it is best-seller in multiple countries across the world. This 4-inch mid-range phone from the company costs around $120-$140 on various online websites.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">But, mistakes happen and blunders are unavoidable. After forcing the Windows 7 users to download Windows 10 (and apologizing), Microsoft accidentally listed the Lumia 520 smartphone for $7,989,112.50 i.e. almost $8 million.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This price is ten thousand the price of a brand new iPhone 6S. With features of a modest 5-megapixel camera, 512MB RAM and a 1,430mAh battery, this $8 million deal doesn’t sound much enthusiastic.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">When you read about a new vulnerability found in a WiFi router every alternate day, it’s obvious to think that something is seriously wrong with your most used gadget in your home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Along with 260 other leading internet experts, Vint Cerf – the co-inventor of the Internet – has drafted a letter to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). In the letter, they have rejected the new FCC proposals as it could lead to buggy and insecure software.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The new FCC regulations are written to make sure that any radio-emitting device only broadcasts the frequencies that they are supposed to. As a result, the people who like to play with their routers and load third-party firmware – or other security-minded people will be in trouble.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Elon Musk has gone full throttle to make the Tesla Models as the complete car of the future. After getting famous for pioneering the EVs globally to reduce carbon emissions and procrastinate the climate change, Tesla is achieving other engineering feats as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Tesla Motors has just released its latest software update that will allow the Model S owners to lay back and enjoy while the car gets automatically driven. The <a href="http://www.teslamotors.com/presskit/autopilot" target="_blank">Autopilot version 7.0</a> boasts of a unique camera combinations, radar, ultrasonic sensors and data which enable the Model S to automatically steer and change lanes. The updated car would also scan for the parking space for you and alert in case of an impending collision in real time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Tesla software system is different from its rivals as it forms a network with other cars. So, if anything happens to say Model S1 car, the Model S2 and all the other cars with the Autopilot software would learn from the incident and watch out for the similar incident then on. The data is uploaded to the central server, analyzed and sent back to other cars.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">These self-learning features distinct Tesla Autopilot version 7.0 from other major autopilot car manufacturers like Audi, BMW and Google.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The new update also has high precision GPS navigation and the details are several times finer than the current standards. This eventually leads to better driving and a pleasant trip for the Tesla costumers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">For the owners who had already purchased the Autopilot update option at the time of buying the Model S, the software is free while it will cost $2,500 to the buyers who didn’t purchase their car with this option.</span></div>
