Apple is well known for its unique and effective technology insight. With over 1.21 million apps Apple ended the year 2014, and with each of those apps, developers knew well about how Apple is stickler for rules.

The anatomy turned out pretty true, especially on coffee spending, at least from personal experience. I could easily relate to it and I knew I had to write about it for the many start-up founders reading our blog.

Today's post was written by Howard Kourik, Director, Information Systems, San Diego County Regional Airport Authority The San Diego County Regional Airport Authority manages operations at one of Southern California's busiest regional airports, San Diego International. We were created to serve the public and have a mandate from the state of California to address the local area's long-term transportation needs. While we are a public entity, we function very much like any other business. In fact, we don't accept any tax dollars to support our operations. Instead, we rely on landing fees, the rent we receive from tenants, and a percentage of the profits from concessions-the restaurants, newsstands, and other shops located in the airport-to fund our growth. And like every business, we're constantly looking for ways to bring down our costs by operating more efficiently. We evaluated a lot of technologies to help us trim costs, but we selected Office 365 because it not only saves money, it gives us what we need to meet future IT demands. With our eyes on current and future needs, we did some modeling to gauge regional demand for our airport services over the next decade. It quickly became clear that we needed to add runways, terminals, and other "bricks and mortar" facilities, and upgrade our network infrastructure. Still, the only way we could budget for that expansion was to reduce or eliminate some of our fixed capital costs. I knew that one important way we could trim expenses was by taking a closer look at the technology we use and how we manage it. Our email system offered a prime example of how, by rethinking the way we deliver core IT services, we could cut down on operational "drag" and potentially save our IT team lots of time. Historically, we've managed our email in a clustered environment across four physical servers. So, we were not only worrying about the cost of the servers; we had to invest in mirroring software and an antivirus so

I wrote a content. It was a news. It needed to be published ASAP but since the graphic designer was not free, it got delayed. I could not publish it without the attention-grabbing images, so it almost felt like helplessness. I was sitting and wondering, what if the content writers knew the basics of designing too?

When Apple released the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus , they showcased one of the biggest features; 3D Touch. But even though the feature has taken the world by storm, no one actually knew the application on which it could be used.

The internet and it's unique ability to rapidly share information across the planet has created a sort of 'hot-bed' for the evolution of language. New phrases, words, acronyms and slangs have been given the ability to virally evolve and disseminate to new populations within a matter of days. Definitions are born, morph, and die based on the evolving collective consciousness of humanity.

Can you remember the last time your car had its MOT done? You probably cannot because this test is done annually, and all three-year or older cars must have an MOT VT20 certificate after passing an MOT test. Simply keeping track of when your MOT is due is insufficient. For your car to legally continue driving, it must also pass the test. Just imagine the difference it could have in your MOT test result if you knew what could fail an MOT.
