Dec 29th, 2011 Discuss [0]

What’s great about Apple is its products are designed to fulfill the needs of the future. This is largely what makes new Apple products so revolutionary when they are finally revealed. In order to deter copycat products from being released shortly after, or even before, an Apple launch, Apple understandably must keep its new developments tightly under wraps. And, it’s no secret that this is Apple’s primary defensive strategy.

So, when a rumor of future Apple products makes its way across the internet, many get excited and gossip about what the products will be like. A new rumor speculates that Apple is secretly developing wearable technology, some of which would utilize Apple’s new successful, voice-controlled assistant Siri, and some would interact with other existing Apple devices.

Apple has already explored wearable technology somewhat with its clip-on iPod Shuffle and the clip-on 6th generation, touch-enabled iPod Nano. Additionally, with third-party cases, the touchscreen Nano could be transformed into a multi-functional watch. → Read More

Alaska Air Cargo is a company that consists of both Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air. It was founded in 1985 and has its headquarters in SeaTac, Washington State. The company has been known for its transportation services, but has technologically redefined its purpose by creating detection technology.

On November 16, 2011, Alaska Air Cargo created the mobile phone application Alaska Mobile Track, which allows its customers to monitor package shipments as they come to Alaska or head elsewhere. Like other cargo tracking applications, Alaska Mobile Track users receive text messages when a package has shipped, or a package shipment’s status has changed.

Alaska Mobile Track, however clever, is only available for mobile phone users whose cell phones call for unlimited texting capabilities. For those who pay unlimited texting fees to their cell phone companies, Alaska Mobile Track is cost-free. There are two ways that customers can use Alaska Mobile Track:

• Send the letters “AWB” and provide an airway bill number (eight digits) to the Alaska Air Cargo headquarters [206-801-0607] to receive detailed information about their package and when it will ship.
• Text “AWBALL” and the eight-digit airway bill number to receive the complete history of the shipped package: when it was first scanned for security, placed on the ship, and sent to the recipient (whether you or someone else). → Read More
