Steve Jobs 1955 – 2011

Rest in Peace Steve. We will miss you.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. – Steve Jobs

With the release of iPhone 3.0 OS only a 2 days away Apple has started updating apps in the iTunes Apps Store with the new ratings for apps. I was looking around in the games section and I found QL Bikini Beach Edition and it is Rated 12+ for “Infrequent/Mild Sexual Content or Nudity”. Is Apple going to open up the iPhone Apps section and allow Adult type content?

Free Stanford course downloaded 1 million times

Stanford University announced on Monday said its Free iPhone Application Programming course has been downloaded more than 1 million times since it was uploaded to iTunes U.

Free videos of Stanford’s wildly popular course on creating applications for the iPhone and iPod touch have now been downloaded a remarkable million times from Stanford’s site on iTunes U in the iTunes Store.

“This is the fastest any course on iTunes U has reached one million downloads,” said Jason Ediger, Apple’s director of iTunes U and Mobile Learning. “iTunes U has proven to be a very effective and popular way to share this course with anyone interested in creating iPhone apps.”

And all of the million downloads have come in just seven weeks, since the course began on April 1.

Reaching 1 million downloads only took 7 weeks, and that is the fastest that any iTunes U course has reach that milestone.

The course has Apple engineers teaching the course, CS193P, to Stanford students in a small auditorium in Stanford’s Quad. The rest of the world, me included, downloaded the course from iTunes. You can also download PDF of the stills they show durning the lecture. You can also download the source code, syllabus, and course overview from the CS193P course website.
