Name Jonathan "Jony" Ive included in the list of the most creative people in the world of technology. He was the brains behind the cool designs on a variety of Apple devices.
In the company founded by Steve Jobs, Ive finished the Senior Vice President of Industrial Design. He is responsible for the appearance of Apple's flagship products, such as the iMac, MacBook, iPod, iPhone, and iPad.
Ive was born in Chingford, London, England, on February 27, 1967. Since childhood, he has been a hobby of drawing. In
an interview conducted by Designmuseum.org, Ive said it had no desire
to draw and make product design since he was 13-14 years old.
"I
knew I wanted to create a design, but I do not know what I wanted to
design. Past I interested in anything: cars, products, furniture,
jewelry, and vessels," he said.
After
discussions with several design consultants, Ive finally decided to
concentrate on the science of the most common design, the design of the
product. Eventually
he focused on the study of art and design at school, then studying
industrial design at Newcastle Polytechnic (now Northumbria University
was named).
In college, Ive already feel comfortable using Apple Mac. According to him, there is no compelling computer at that time, except for the Apple Mac. Only Apple Macs that support design work. Maybe that's one of the turning points in the life of a Jony Ive.
In 1997, Ive been working as a designer at Apple intends to resign. At that time Apple was losing direction. The leaders in the company's business focus more on improving profits than creating great products. That makes Apple's business slumped and the company almost went bankrupt.
However, 1997 seems to be a historic year for Apple and Ive. Apple bought Next, a computer company owned by Steve Jobs. The acquisition brought Jobs back into the old company he founded, after he was fired in 1985.
Knowing that Jobs would return to Apple, Ive thought better to resign. Long story short, Apple began to transform itself under the leadership of Jobs. In addition to Jobs, Ive become one of the heroes in the history of the rise of Apple. Ive was promoted to chief designer of Apple hardware.
While still alive, Jobs had a very good relationship with Ive. They both often dubbed "jives", a combination of their names, Jobs and Ive. In the biography of Steve Jobs written by Walter Isaacson, Jobs even called Ive as his spiritual partner at Apple.
In the book, Jobs' wife, Laurene Powell, also admitted that her late husband's closeness with Ive. Ive often played into Jobs' home, and their family have a close relationship. Many people come and go in the life of Steve Jobs. They are easily replaced by others, according to Powell. "But not so with Jony," he said.
Jobs with proximity Ive started when Jobs returned to Apple. Their meeting occurred when Jobs visited the Apple design lab. At the time, Jobs was looking for designers from outside of Apple to rejuvenate the company. But then he met with Ive. Jobs noticed how Ive worked and loved the young designers. Since then, they are compact work together and spawned a variety of sophisticated products that become iconic Apple.
The first product they made was the iMac that comes with bright colors are transparent. This attractive design distinguishes the iMac computers in the 1990s, who appeared with a dull beige color.
Product designs made Steve Jobs Ive gained recognition. As
reported by BusinessInsider.com, during his lifetime, Jobs once said,
"The difference is made by Jony very large, not only felt at Apple, but
also around the world. He is a very intelligent man. He understands
business concepts and marketing. He also understands what we do at Apple is better than anyone. "
After the death of Steve Jobs, Tim Cook Apple's control of the company as CEO. But
if Cook should be compared with Ive, Cook is now the most powerful in
the Apple employees, temporary employees Ive is the most important. Ive role in providing guidance to Cook for all decisions related to Apple products.
In
October 2012, Cook promotes Ive to rise to a more important position,
the Senior Vice President of Industrial Design or head of unit at the
Apple Human Interface. With
that position, Ive is responsible for leading the hadware and software
designer at Apple, one of the most innovative companies in the world.

apple effect
Related to the death of Steve Jobs on Wednesday yesterday (5 Oct) and eyes of the world were fixed immediately on Apple Inc.. Yes, it looks like a scene release of the iPhone 4S a day before the death of Jobs became a little forgotten. Instead, the media and gadget sites write about Steve Jobs and what he has wrought so as to make Apple Inc.. size now.
One of the things the media write is CSmonitor. Through its correspondent, Alan Webber, CSmonitor tells how Apple as a company and as a leader, Steve Jobs has changed the perspective of the world through technology and innovation.
Webber said first met Steve Jobs in 1991. Webber is currently the managing editor of the Harvard Business Review (HBR). Webber made the trip from Boston to Silicon Valley to see what happens at the headquarters of Apple. Webber recently gave a presentation to a class at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, when Jobs appeared and started a conversation with him.
"The article is good," said Jobs. "One of the best articles I have ever read. You are right to mention not a computer, but computing. "
Jobs then talked about an article recently published in the July 1991 edition of HBR, written by Andy Rappaport and Shmuel Halevi titled "Industrial Computer Not Have a Computer". Actually the provocative article comes at a time the United States saw a nervous Japanese companies control more than 40 percent of U.S. laptop market. Japanese company also leads in the production of memory chips and be the dominant U.S. competitors in the production supercomputers.
The article asks U.S. to not worry. It's because the future is in the computer but not in the computation. "Defining how computers are used, not how they are produced, will create real value - and thus the strength of markets, jobs, and wealth - in the next 10 years," so the contents of the article. "A computer is the main source of enterprise computing to customers."
Computer is a 'thing', while what people want is not a 'thing' but to do 'many things'.
With a strategic vision that they have, Jobs has led Apple to be the most admired company in the world. According to Fortune magazine it has been running for four years. Jobs has made Apple become the world's favorite entertainment center, listening gadgets, gadgets read, watch gadgets, things previously impossible to do with gadgets.
Of course be important to have the hardware to the application have the right platform. And in view of Jobs, the hardware should be unusual and different from the others. Hardware should be designed properly and different. If seen and felt, touched and heard his voice, then all user interface on the hardware then digodok by Apple and in the business sphere. At least, that Apple products exist in the eyes of Webber.
And now Apple has become a world-class company. There are many things that make the public was amazed at the leadership of Apple and Steve Jobs but Webber noted that he told 3 news worthy of scrutiny:
1. Although Apple's 45,000 employees still seem to be too little, but Apple have surpassed ExxonMobil as the richest companies in the world. It is very surprising achievement.
2. When the U.S. economy is mired in recession and unrelenting U.S. government can not solve its debt, Apple actually has cash reserves of $ 76 billion, which recognized more than what the federal government dimilik.
3. Jobs announced his resignation last August from his position as CEO of Apple. Announcements should be normal for a CEO that just begs the question, speculation, and enormous outpouring of concern for Jobs and Apple.
How seriously ill Jobs? What is the impact of the resignation of Jobs to Apple products? How strong Tim Cook and the rest of the team without Jobs? Can they continue to create innovations like Jobs?
But there is also another question, which is considered more relevant Webber: When Jobs no longer be CEO, marking a milestone in the long journey of Apple, what can be taken by American businessmen? If we use the transition of leadership at Apple is as an opportunity for self-reflection, what valuable lessons can be learned by the U.S. (and other countries) about the management, philosophy and business practices?
Well, now after 20 years since Jobs praised the HBR article, the U.S. economy and large U.S. companies have even become a force intact. If it was Rappaport and Halevi writes in his article about concerns over the challenges of today's Japan, China has been soaring as economic rivals that dominate the world market.
In 1991, manufacturing jobs moved overseas and fears haunt American industry. Today, with 9.2% unemployment, largely due to losses in the U.S. manufacturing base, such fears have become a reality.
Instead, through Apple, Steve Jobs has made it become unnecessary worries. When he returned to Apple in 1997, Steve Jobs immediately solve all existing problems. Jobs improve and streamline the organization, get rid of the competing teams, told employees that they have to fight for the company, not against each other.
But the most important lesson from Apple, according to Regis McKenna, Head of Marketing and Public Relations in Silicon Valley, "Look at all the case with an unusual perspective. Perspective that includes product design and user experience as a whole. Apple always tried to do it differently and do it better than other companies. Innovation allows you to get the attention of the market and no matter how good you are, you can always do it better. Apple shows exemplary values are always striving for perfection. "
And it all becomes possible for Apple under the leadership of Steve Jobs. Now after Jobs went on forever, Jobs will be remembered for world heritage including his philosophy of life both as businessmen, scientists and human beings.

HOW TO EDUCATE A SUCCESS CHILD
How to successfully educate a child isn’t just for the parent who
wants to follow the recent trend and provide an education at home. If
you take advantage of the tips listed in this article, you can help
augment the education that your child is receiving whether in a public
school or a private school. In order to successfully engage a child, the
teacher will have to have knowledge of the subject matter, be creative,
and have empathy for the child. Presenting topics in an interesting and
relevant way, teaching energetically in order to capture and hold the
student’s interest, and instilling a love of learning are all ways to
promote learning.
A teacher who is effective will encourage understanding of the subject matter and the student will go on a quest for knowledge. The successful teacher will manage her classroom and consistently present the topics in relation to the student’s life experiences. The teacher in command will continue her own education in order to stay abreast of current teaching methods and subject material. Networking with other teachers will allow the teacher to broaden her knowledge to include the suggestions of her peers. A continuum of changing assignments and methods of presentation will ensure the student remains engaged and learning.
Elementary aged students will require the most work from an educator. The classroom size will range from 20 to 30 students who are dependent on the educator for more than just learning subject matter. An elementary teacher, who learns how to gauge the level of her students both individually and as a group, will familiarize herself with each student’s interests and will learn the answer to the question, ‘What do you want to do when you grow up?’
Let’s look at an example for how to successfully educate a child who is having trouble learning vocabulary. This is more common with the child in elementary school. A child who is struggling will not understand the context of the words when used in the different subject areas. An astute teacher will recognize this and will cover a definition of the new terms that will be discussed in the planned lesson. The words will need to connect with the student’s academic level and life experiences before the student can comprehend the new vocabulary words. A lot of times the use of storytelling will promote understanding as the child can hear the new word in a fun context.
Finally, the classroom population should be analyzed to identify different cultural, physical, and perhaps even religious backgrounds, to help foster an understanding of the student’s goals in learning. The classroom of today is very diverse when compared to the classroom of just a few decades past. This diverse mix can be positive when it helps the student to learn about other cultures and not to just focus on the differences in each student. The decorations in the room should capture the interest of the demographic mix and the student should readily identify the classroom as an area where learning will take place. The classroom itself can be as big a motivator as the educator when thoughtful preparation has gone into its setup.
The effective educator will establish goals for the classroom and encourage each student to set and reach learning goals. The teacher will have goals that help achieve the objectives and help to organize teaching. This will outline what the student should know after instruction, quizzes, and other learning activities. Students who are behind will still have positive outcomes and students who are ahead will also show progress toward the goals when the above tips for how to successfully educate a child are followed.

Nikon Is A Leader In The Market For High Quality Cameras
Have you any need of a new camera? Are you ready to invest in a
powerful device that will allow you to more than satisfactorily save
your memories for years to come? Well, there has never been more
opportunity than now for finding your perfect camera. And whether you
are new or very seasoned in photography, one of the most irrefutably
leading camera companies is Nikon. They have been for a long time and
will likely continue to be one of the most influential developers of
this technology, so it’s worth getting to know them. Here are some ideas
to consider.
Nikon has for decades without a doubt remained a dominant player in the market for sophisticated optics. This Japanese company has maintained an impressively growing record of delivering image technology to government and citizen consumers alike. The promise of their cameras in particular is to provide anyone a fantastic user experience.
Another of Nikon’s strong points is the life of their batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are going to last you quite a while relative to other varieties, and such are the products of Nikon. Nobody likes to lose unnecessary batter power at critical moments when memories ought to be quickly captured, so this is a very important consideration.
The typical capacity for a Nikon camera’s zoom is very good. It’s normally good to have at least a zoom of 5X, but there are certainly models that can outpace this. The more advanced zooming ability can yield strikingly wonderful photos in the right hands. The auto-focus zoom feature of some models is a very effective means to vibration reduction.

So what specific things tend to set Nikon’s cameras apart from others
in the industry? Well unmistakably their picture quality is very
consistently high. That’s because there are at least 5 megapixels in
each device of their camera line up. Of course the more expensive
cameras can have even above a dozen megapixels. This allows even novices
in photography to obtain world class images.
The demand for high-end cameras such as SLR and DSLR will likely
continue as these products become more affordable. This of course is due
to the continued innovation in the efficient development and production
of cameras by Nikon. It’s increasingly possible to secure super high
quality cameras at more affordable prices. Of course the best cameras
are still expensive, but the prices will likely become even more
favorable with the passing of time.Another of Nikon’s strong points is the life of their batteries.
