Bangalore: Apple CEO Steve Jobs authorized biography written by Walter Isaacson is reportedly all set to release before time on Nov.21, 2011, The original date of its release was 2012 reveals Apple Insider.

Bookseller Barnes & Noble has preponed the publication date for the title to November and unfolded the new cover, which portrays an icoconic black-and-white photograph of Steve Jobs.

However, Apple's iBooks and the hardcover version from Amazon still list the book's release date as March 6, 2012.

According to publisher Simon & Schuster's description of the book, Jobs has not restricted over what was written nor did he permit the right to read it before it was published. He has put nothing out of bounds and instead inspired the people he knew to speak honestly even foes, former girlfriends, and colleagues he had once fired or infuriated.

Steve Jobs personality and products were interrelated, just as Apple's hardware and software tended to be, part of an integrated system. Jobs story is informative and exemplary, modified with lessons about innovation, character, leadership, and values.

"iSteve: The Book of Jobs," was the books original title but after Isaacson's wife and daughter said it was "too cutesy." the title was converted into a "simpler and more elegant" title. Isaacson has written biographies on Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein.

Reports from The New York Times revealed the project last year, Steve Jobs may have "more of an interest in regulating his inheritance" after recent health struggles. Recently, he has survived pancreatic cancer, undergone a liver transplant and tried hard to maintain his weight. The CEO is currently on a medical leave, though he continues to involve in strategic decisions for the company.

The residences allotted to the Ministers and MLAs, Government quarters and secretariat buildings are lit up with solar power street lights. Solar photovoltaic panels are fixed on the CM’s residence’s roof top which is now regularly generating 80 units of electricity every day. The rooftop has two plants of capacity 10 Kilowatts. Counting at Rs. 15 per unit, it produces 4.38 lacs rupees of electricity with 29.200 units per year.

Hon’ble CM conveyed a statement while inaugurating 1 Megawatt solar plant project near PDPU last January that Gandhinagar, Surat, Vadodara and other cities can soon produce electricity and earn by selling it to the Government


Sources from JEDA confirmed that, if any household, businessman or industrial firm produces more than 10 kilowatts of electricity within their premises then government would purchase it and convert it into main grid. The State has fixed 15 Rs per unit according to ‘JERK’. JEDA has issued a tender for 10, 15, 20 and 25 Kilowatt projects. Aid standards and subsidies for rooftop system will be declared soon.

6 Reasons To Switch From Facebook To Google+

Ask Y B4 Migrate

If you are comparing the Google+ with Facebook, you are making a mistake as the Google+ was launched by the Google to give the company a whole new identity and the comparison should therefore be between the Facebook and the Google on the whole.
Although its true that Facebook has build up a huge reputation for itself over the years but considering the newest in-line features of the Google+, people may get more attracted to Google than the Facebook.

(1) The Google services IntegrationThe integration is one of the biggest cards that the Google has in its hands to win over the audience. Now, you might be wondering what the “integration” is? Its nothing but that all the Google’s existing online services like Gmail, Docs, Search features will be combined onto a single platform in the Google+ and you can do everything on the same site. Earlier people faced the inconvenience of having to switch from one site to another while going from mailing or surfing the net to social networking. Now that problem has been solved by the Google+

(2) You can manage your friends more efficiently
The “Circles” concept of the Google is far more comparable to our real life friend circles than the “ad hoc” group concept of the Facebook. Everyday, we interact with hundreds of people but not always in the same way. The Google+ lets you create different circles to which you can add different people you want. For example, you can create one circle for your family, one circle for your work people, one for your old classmates and as many as you want. The biggest touted perk is that you can share the things with the circle that you want and the other circles won’t ever know of it.

(3) You have better mobile apps
The Google+ has a lot better apps for the Android users, rather than Facebook. You will find that it’s a lot easier to get stuff on you Google+ profile than it ever was on Facebook. The huge Android user database that the Google has, is likely to be used by the company in the battle against Facebook.

(4) You can find the things you want to share more easily on Google+
This time the Google has done something that the Facebook will not be able to do, with the Google+ Spark. When you are networking on the Facebook, you often have to leave the site for finding the shareable information with your friends. Google+’ Spark is an instant solution to that problem. Google has optimized its search engine to provide instant search for finding stuff you wanna share. Since the Facebook doesn’t have a search engine, it is obvious that this feature can’t be provided by the Facebook.

(5) Data can be reclaimed
Facebook is seen as a poor steward of personal data but the Google+ has a better hand in this area. While on Facebook, you are made to make all your personal data go public and also its very hard to permanently delete a Facebook profile. The Google+, on the other hand, allows you to pick up all the data you have put on the profile and just walk away. This is done by a tool called “Data Liberation”, another clever trick from the Google+ to hook up customers.

(6) Better hangouts
Google+ provides better hangout than the Facebook with its group video chat. You can chat with up to ten people in the group video chat option. Forming ad hoc groups to have a little chat with people you know seems a little too fun.
