STEVE JOBS

Rumors are rife that Apple is planning to launch a miniature, 7-inch Apple tablet at this year?s Worldwide Developers Conference that will kick off on June 11. The same event is expected to see the launch of some great devices like MacBook Pro (2012), iTV and some software like iOS 6 and iTunes 11.

Steve Jobs is remembered not merely for the company he co-founded, but also for his mannerism, determination and marketing skills that helped Apple reach the zenith of success.

Scott Forstall, The Apple senior vice president of iOS software, just scored a $38.7 million payday, according to an SEC filing cited by Fortune Magazine. Forstall, 42, recently cashed in over 64,000 company shares, which netted him close to $40 million.

Apple is ready to announce its second quarter results today, April 24, 2012, at approximately 5 p.m. ET. Bolstered mostly by the release of the company's third-generation iPad, Apple is expected to announce a great quarter, although not quite as record-breaking as its last one.

The latest rumors indicate that Apple's MacBook Pro series laptop will receive liquidmetal chassis, improved battery and 4G Lter support. Ivy chips and Thunderbolt features are confirmed to be coming in the next Mac device and at the same time reports say that the 17-inch model can be dropped this time to keep Apple's production streamlined.

Dropbox has announced a new function that allows people to share files and folders using links to designated URLs.
