8 Big Changes Geeks Expect from Apple in June Conference

Some people are hard to please. Such is the case with these new age techies who want Apple to bring in changes in their already existing line of awesome products. Ranging from retina display to better application development tools, their list is long. Here is a list compiled by Business Insider of the 8 changes that developers want Apple to announce in its big WWDC conference in June.

 
1. Next line of Mac should have High Resolution Retina Displays:

 
The geeks want their screens to come to life. "We're really hoping Apple begins introducing Macs with high resolution retina displays," said Dustin MacDonald, a designer and engineer for Acrylic Software.

 
There are rumors afloat in the market that Mac will have high resolution displays similar to the ones iPhone and iPad. There have been reports which quote sources who claim to have seen a prototype of the new MacBook Pro, which has 'jaw-dropping' Retina display.

 
The high resolution displays will make the iMacs much more expensive but we don’t hear anyone complaining.

2. A simpler way to coordinate and share information between apps:

 
Android and Windows platforms provide users a simple method to integrate information between apps. Developers want apple to come up with something similar. "I'd love to see Apple give us a better way to coordinate and share between apps," said Josh Abernathy, a developer at GitHub and founder of Maybe Apps to Business Insider.

 
They want something similar to the Charms Bar on Windows 8 which allows users to perform a same action with several applications at once. A change on these lines will surely end up saving a lot of time and hassle for coders worldwide.

3. Siri should be integrated with other apps:

 
Siri has been a disappointment so far. But that can change if Apple makes changes to integrate Siri with other iOS applications. It would be very interesting if other applications could develop their own verb set for Siri.

 
Wouldn’t it be cool if you could ask Siri to read the latest status updates on Facebook for you? If Apple does this, it would let "other apps get to extend themselves with Siri in whatever way they choose.” says Kevin Fox, a former designer with Google and Mozilla. Apple should really try to make siri a better application or be ready to face the backlash.

4. Data sharing should be made easier on iCloud:

 
It is much more difficult for users to share data with friends and family on iCloud as compared to DropBox. Developers expect apple to make data sharing easier on their cloud platform.

 
"While having the ability to sync all your data across a variety of devices is essential, one of the biggest missing features is the ability to seamlessly share iCloud data (not just publish a URL)," said Milen Dzhumerov, co-founder of The Cosmic Machine and one of the developers behind EventBox.

5. Update the existing application development tools so they don't crash every single day:

 
Developers complain that every new version of Xcode has bugs that make it crash every day. "The current development tools which exist, Xcode and Instruments, have been rapidly changing over the past two years. However, every release of Xcode is very buggy.” Ash Furrow, the lead iOS developer for 500px says. "It crashes on me more than once a day and, after speaking with other developers, this is pretty typical.”

 
The simple request to Apple is to develop coding tools that do not crash several times a day.

6. Deeper integration between Facebook and most iPhone apps:

 
Techies are getting hooked on to networking sites, making them a common activity throughout the day. It would do them good if apple brought about a deeper integration between Facebook and other apps.

 
Apple had introduced a deeper integration of iOS 5 with Twitter last year. Geeks want Apple to develop something similar for iOS6 and Facebook. "Facebook sign-on is still a pain on all mobile platforms - having Facebook be integrated with iOS6 would be a huge win!" says Akshay Kothari co-founder of the Pulse news reader app.

7. Open up the API to enable push notifications for more apps:

 
Apple is very strict about protecting its API. Developers are not open to some APIs which makes it impossible to integrate features like push notifications for more applications. "We would love to see Apple open the background API also known as the VOIP privilege for more selected apps," said Dominique Leca, co-founder of Sparrow.

 
Sparrow is an email client which is available to users of Mac and iOS. They had to charge users to get push notifications which highlight new emails because Apple refused Sparrow access to their server.

 
Apple refused to change their attitude even after users signed a petition to bring about the change.Let’s hope that Apple relaxes its policies in the future.

8. An OS X update that would enable multi-screen support when applications are in full screen mode:

 
Mac users cannot have multiple applications running on the full screen mode. The problem is not huge but it makes multitasking difficult for developers most of whom use multi-screens.

 
It would make working much better if apple could develop an update which will allow multi-screen support even if applications are in full screen mode.

Guilty or Not? The 10 Most Ridiculous Things Blamed On Google

“Search-” the first thing comes to our mind when we think Google. But, the Universal search giant has always been dragged into many cases, which are not even related to any of its business and was forced to serve as a scapegoat for a number of bad incidents happened across the globe.
Even the situations have gone to an extend which made Eric Schimdt ,former GoogleCEO, admit that, “Google had become accustomed to taking blame for almost everything- Terrorist attacks, Child pornography, market share drops, stolen property and a lot more.”

6 New Multibillion Dollar Businesses Facebook Can Bank on

The Facebook IPO was valued at a whopping $ 104 billion. It comes as a surprise for most of us when a company that generates a revenue of $5.8 billion is valued so high. The sole reason for this could be the market’s undying faith in Zuckerberg and company to come up with new ways to monetize the site that has over 900 million users. With Facebook having the attention of an average user for about 8 hours a month they have a deep insight in the psyche of the user which can serve as valuable information for advertisers. Here is a list of six multimillion dollar businesses compiled by VentureBeat, which Facebook can look at to justify its sky high valuation.

 
1. Search:

 
Search is one sector dominated by Google. Google’s primary business is search advertising and the company has a mighty good control over this sector. It would be a little stupid to expect Facebook to compete with Google head-on. But as we know Facebook has an upper hand in user information and preferences. A recent survey by comScore found out that an average American Facebook user spends eight hours on the site per month as compared to two hours spent on Google.

 
Facebook can focus on search terms that can have commercial value, such as clothing or travel. Facebook is uniquely positioned to serve taste-based search terms based on the data it already has on its users. So it is evident that even though the ‘search’ sector is ruled by Google, Facebook still has a huge potential in the sector.

2. Person to Merchant Payments:

 
Facebook can venture in the person to merchant payment sector in Countries such as India; Indonesia etc which are largely cash based economies. It would be easier to set up camp in such nations as compared to United States where going up against Visa, MasterCard, AmEx, and Discover will be incredibly difficult. And Facebook is more likely to rule the market since the basis of commerce is trust and Facebook as a brand is trusted by over 1/7th of the world’s population.

3. Person-to-Person Payments:

 
The most important thing a company needs to venture into the person to person payment sector is its presence everywhere. There are a lot of companies in the US such as PayPal, Amazon, Chase, Citibank, and American Express that are trying to get a hold of this sector but they all lack in ubiquity. Facebook is probably the only site with its unique position where it is present everywhere. This makes person to person payment sector a win-win situation for Facebook.

4. Social Commerce:

 
When one has to plan an event the biggest challenge is to co ordinate with a large group of people at a time. Sites such as groupon and eventbrite have ventured in this sector but none of them possess the unique user insight that Facebook possesses. With its large user base Facebook can help in planning event. Facebook has the data and the network to effectively suggest things that you might want to do with your friends. It could also help organizations in every step of event planning ranging from marketing to inviting people and receiving conformations. Facebook has all the solutions you are looking for.

5. Local Businesses:

 
Local small businesses in smaller parts of the world do not necessarily have the infrastructure or time to maintain websites to cater to their customers. Facebook allows users to create profiles and pages for businesses and organizations. This provides such users a strong positioning on the web. Facebook can bank on such businesses that use Facebook to interact with existing or potential customers. Here too Facebook will benefit from its humungous user base and insightful user information.

6. Television:

 
Facebook can successfully influence what people watch on television. The big bucks in advertising still focuses more on television and Facebook can easily divert traffic to content providers. A lot of the content on Facebook can actually displace some TV viewing time if presented correctly on the big screen.

Meet The Secret Weapon Facebook Poached From Microsoft

 Facebook is going through rough times. But the company’s recent moves indicate that the social networking giant is all set to resurrect itself in the near future all thanks to Carolyn Everson, Facebook’s vice president of global marketing solutions. A firebrand business woman she was with Microsoft when Facebook got a whiff of her talent in marketing. In an interview with The Huffington Post she talks about her responsibilities at Facebook and why the social networking site is a success. Read on to know her better.

 
1. Carolyn- Facebook’s Latest Weapon

 
Carolyn is the VP Global Marketing so she is directly responsible for the revenues that come in through ads. Her job requires her to make friends with the top 1500 marketing companies in the world. She handles over 20 teams all across the world.

 
Another crucial part of her role at Facebook is to negotiate between two power camps that don’t normally see eye to eye. Madison Avenue suites and Fortune 500 CEO’S are not yet convinced about social media being the next big thing. Her job is to keep these biggies convinced with Facebook’s growing presence on the web.

2. Carolyn- A Strong Employee

 
Carolyn has a very impressive employment history which led her to work for one of the biggest companies the tech world has seen. Armed with an MBA from Harvard Business School she has worked as an analyst at Accenture, a manager, Business Development at Walt Disney Imagineering.

 
She was the VP at Primedia and then served as the COO, EVP MTVN ad sales as Viacom. She catapulted mtvU into Viacom’s fastest growing business and its ad business tripled. She was then hired by Microsoft Corporation as the CVP, Global Ad Sales & Strategy.

 
Less than a year at the job she received a call from Sheryl Sandberg to come on board with Facebook. “My heart jumped when the phone call came,” Everson said. “I feel like this kind of opportunity comes along once in a lifetime.” Shortly after that she joined Facebook.

3. Carolyn- The Believer In Facebook

 
Carolyn believes that the online version of people is really the offline version of them. She also is surprised that human behavior has not changed at all. People are passionate about causes and Facebook gives them a platform to show that they care.

 
She says that people share things on Facebook for ‘basic human truth’. Facebook helps make lives easier for users. According to her the social networking site works because “it's taking your offline self and putting it in an online environment. It's the first time we've had that on the Internet. It's the only place that has your true, authentic identity.”

4. Carolyn- The Yummy Mommy

 
Carolyn is mother to 9 year old twins, Taylor and Kenned. Her life revolves around her kids and she never misses any ‘firsts’ with her kids. Be it first play or the first hockey games she is always there. Her family also accompanies her on business trips because she thinks it’s important for them to know that they are a part of her work life.

 
Everson the powerhouse says, “Don't sweat the small stuff. My twins were born at 27 weeks and had a 30% chance of survival. When you go through something like that, you try to have a healthy perspective on life." At 40 she looks amazing and she surely is a ‘yummy mommy’.
5. Carolyn- The Woman At Work

 
She does not believe in a gender divide. According to her people at work are a team and not just men and women working together. Everyone has just as much right as everyone else to have a voice, to think about career progression, to go home and be there for their family, including men.

 
Her advice for women at work is to decide what is important. “If being at a doctor’s appointment is important to you, then go. If seeing your kids in the morning is critical, then just come in late. Don’t be intimated about making decisions.”

 
It is this confidence and strong headed attitude that keeps her on top. Carolyn is a miracle worker so let us wait and watch how she steers Facebook around.
