The New York Time explains who was responsible for the '@' , which is seen in all Email Addresses

....... in 1971 when an engineer named Ray Tomlinson decided to use it in the first e-mail address to send the first e-mail. As Mr. Tomlinson himself has explained in a description of that first e-mail:

I chose to append an at sign and the host name to the user’s (login) name. I am frequently asked why I chose the at sign, but the at sign just makes sense. The purpose of the at sign (in English) was to indicate a unit price (for example, 10 items @ $1.95). I used the at sign to indicate that the user was “at” some other host rather than being local.

In case you’re wondering, Mr. Tomlinson says that he has no idea what the first few successfully transmitted e-mail messages said:

I sent a number of test messages to myself from one machine to the other. The test messages were entirely forgettable and I have, therefore, forgotten them.

iPhone Camcorder - Coming Soon!

According to an article in BusinessWeek today, which strings together a number of events to make the bold prediction that we are "about six weeks away from the next big thing." It argues that Apple is on the cusp of turning the iPhone into a powerful camcorder that would get rid of cumbersome cables and complicated video-editing software."My gut tells me Apple will make the iPhone a one-stop studio for recording, editing, viewing and sharing your own videos. Actually, more than my gut. I've spoken with a source that is familiar with Apple's plans for the next iPhone, which may well be announced at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in early June."

Glory To Free Markets

"The App is a work of Art and included a 'secret mantra' -- that's all."
---- Heinrich




Apple took down a 'Ridiculous' app from the iPhone app store that costed $1000 and did Nothing, except display a graphic and a label 'I am Rich'

I say to Heinrich (who is from Germany) : Great idea and kudos for jumping on it and taking the risk to publish it. Your victory was short lived, but it was sweet!

Apparently this was purchased by 8 customers !

A lot of thoughtfully written apps cost about 99 cents in the app store. These guys would have had to sell 8000 copies to hit that same revenue target.

iPhone Security

I love my iPhone.  You gotta give it to Apple for the fantastic job!

It is a synthesis of ART+SCIENCE+ENGINEERING.

I want to give you a few tips on keeping your iPhone information SECURE.

1. Set a Password for you Screen. You can do that under iPhone Settings.
   
2. Use a Application such as 1Password (iPhone App & Mac Desktop) to secure your sensitive Data  
3. Use MS Exchange 2007 for your email & PDA functionality;   Reason:- Exchange 2007 Supports REMOTE WIPE for the iPhone. If you lose your iPhone you can go online and WIPE-OUT the data so you wont have to worry about Identity theft.  Your Outlook Exchange Email, Calendar, Address-book synchronizes beautifully with iPhone (2.0 software).  You DONT have to be a corporate user.  Any individual can sign up with a MS Exchange 2007 provider.  1and1  gives you a free copy of Outlook 2007 or Entourage.  There is also a free  provider of MS Exchange email, but I am not able to recall the name at this moment.
