How Steve Jobs could go at the "Mercedes" no-nos

Few people know that Steve Jobs was the owner of the car Mercedes Benz SL55 AMG, which he constantly moved. At the time this car was one of the fastest on the road. The machine is equipped with 8-cylinder engine with a volume of 5.5 liters and output of 510 horsepower.

However, the car of Steve Jobs is a remarkable feature: it has no license plates. As he would say Jobs, he is tired of going to the police about the theft of his numbers. On this account various rumors were afloat. Some believed that the founder of Apple simply not "steamed" and, in case the police stop, pay fines and quietly went on. Others believed that Jobs has a special permit: do not use license plates, stickers and replace them with bar codes that are encoded vin-code car. Both of these options are far from the truth, everything was much simpler and more brilliant.

ITWire publication interviewed Entrust Technical Director John Kallas, who at one time ago was a top manager of Apple. John revealed the secret of the car Jobs, which has no markings.

It turns out that Steve (and his family) have found a loophole in the law on transportation in California. Any person after buying a new car, must within 6 months, attach a number issued to the vehicle. Jobs with the leasing company has agreed that it would change his Mercedes SL55 AMG every 6 months for absolutely the same model, but a new one.

Thus, Jobs has always traveled by car no older than 6 months and, therefore, could easily do without numbers.

Not just a phone, but a new philosophy and a new target to attack the market of young people between 20 and 30 years. Lumia 800 is not surprising the experts who know the system and does not bring anything new WP7 to the aesthetic and the tiles software, but added "only" some custom software that make the experience even better every day.

In fact, Nokia seems to have found the key to correct interpretation of why Windows Phone 7 creating a mix of colors, graphics, accessories and tools that can capture your attention. We tried many devices from other manufacturers with this system, but Lumia 800, although not bring significant changes, seems to be "different" most pleasant and nice.

The manufacturer then has done the most to "personalize" the experience of WP7 with the means available and with reduced operating margins, currently offered by MS.

Not being able to work deeply on the operating system, Nokia has chosen to concentrate on what's around the OS, or smartphone, beauty, accessories and services. This work was undoubtedly great, and Lumia, his whole world, and it seems like convincing.

Lumia 800 is still the phase 1.0 WP7 experience and with the next update there will be major changes and also in software implementations.
