A few weeks ago, I asked the question:
Combing through Apple’s website and reading their license agreements, the answer seemed straight forward and to the point:
No.
Interestingly enough, one of our fully awesome ChurchMag readers dug a little deeper and contacted Apple over the phone. This is what she found out from an Apple Rep:
First, I’ve got to say that I love the POW!! website.
Now, let me tell you what the heck Pow is:
Pow is a zero-config Rack server for Mac OS X. Have it serving your apps locally in under a minute.
Now, that’s what I’m talkin’ about!
Here’s the sauce:
I confess. I’m an Apple fanboy. I try not to be dogmatic about it. Plenty of other companies make great products too, but there’s something special about Apple products that inspires an almost militant loyalty in their customers.
I’m convinced a big part of that “something special” is the mystical persona that is Steve Jobs.
His resignation from Apple CEO yesterday is the biggest tech story of the year and has inspired countless blog posts almost all of which are more insightful than this one. Reading some of the posts, I found myself continually asking the question:
What was it about Steve Jobs that made him legendary?
The definition of crowdsourcing (via Wiki):
Crowdsourcing is the act of outsourcing tasks, traditionally performed by an employee or contractor, to an undefined, large group of people or community (a “crowd”), through an open call.
Well. That’s boring.
Let’s try this:
If you thought the MailChimp iPhone solutions were great, you’re going to love these two MailChimp apps!
Did you know that you can collect newsletter sign-ups offline with MailChimp?
What an excellent solution! Kiss those paper forms goodbye!
There are two ways to go about it:
Here’s how to do it:
It may sound cliche, but the iPhone has changed the face of point and shoot photography. As a photographer, I made the change from Android to the iPhone largely due to the quality of its camera.
There are dozens of apps for the iPhone related to photography, but not one has taken the iPhone world by storm like Instagram. This free app is very easy to use. You snap a photo (or get one from your library) and upload it as is, or use one of fifteen different filters.
Where Instagram excels however, is that it has become its own community. Like Twitter, you can follow fellow Instagram users, use hashtags and also post images to Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, etc. Some Instagram users have really stood out with their work, producing images that could easily be turned into a book. Instagram has over 2.2 million users and upload 3.6 million new images a week.
Is it because Steve Doesn’t Like His Job?
It’s not like he was forced out, either.
He’s done an amazing job. Jobs Well Done, indeed!
The history of Apple is a curious one. Full of competition, rivalry and beauty.
Apparently, the CEO of Apple is resigning his position and settling for the position of chairmen.
What’s in store for Apple’s future?
