Apple always has something up its sleeve…

Amazon’s Kindle 2 has more of an Apple iPod feel to it. Found on MobileRead.com

Women In Marketing Jan 15, 2009 from Dave Allen on Vimeo.

Having watched the comments swing to and fro on the PETA Sex Ads post I thought it might be timely to post this video from NemoHQ’s Trevor Graves. Interviews and talks with women who have made their way in action sports – and they didn’t have to get half naked and lick vegetables PETA….

“Girls are sluts and boys are studs” a comment from industry icon, Circe Wallace at The Women in Marketing event held at Red Bull USA in Santa Monica. The event was designed to honor, highlight and make accessible the women who have made an impact on youth culture and the action sports community. Carolyn Deighan of Tadpole Marketing hosted the event. Amy Stettler, from Apple, Amy Taylor of Red Bull, Caralene Robinson from Boost Mobile, Circe Wallace from WMG, Dyana Kass from Interscope, Kenna Bertell Florie of Roxy, Renee Lawter from Eyerus, Shanti Sosienski of SOS, and Staci Levine from SNL comunications all spoke to the group of 230 people.

Team,

I am sure all of you saw my letter last week sharing something very personal with the Apple community. Unfortunately, the curiosity over my personal health continues to be a distraction not only for me and my family, but everyone else at Apple as well. In addition, during the past week I have learned that my health-related issues are more complex than I originally thought.

In order to take myself out of the limelight and focus on my health, and to allow everyone at Apple to focus on delivering extraordinary products, I have decided to take a medical leave of absence until the end of June.

I have asked Tim Cook to be responsible for Apple’s day to day operations, and I know he and the rest of the executive management team will do a great job. As CEO, I plan to remain involved in major strategic decisions while I am out. Our board of directors fully supports this plan.

I look forward to seeing all of you this summer.

Steve

[Update] – New York Times story.

Sports, technology, iconic brands and social networking all wrapped up in one package – Nike+ there are only winners here. The Nike+ Sports Kit has allowed athletes to share their data with friends and others who then compete online. This coming together of computer and running shoe technology between Apple, who’s iPod is a way to gather and upload the runner’s data (speed, distance, steps etc) and Nike who’s shoes include the Piezoelectric accelerometer for measuring the data.

And now a campaign to register runners globally to run a 10k and have every mile tracked whether they run, walk or jog and Nike will count those miles towards a charity of its choice. Time to get away from the monitor.
