He would have turned 64 today – CONNECTING THE DOTS…

Well, an inspiration for millions of millions of people, including me – Steve Jobs, would have turned 64 today.

This video is… no words

The practical quotes given by him, reading them, today, makes our whole day amazing.

Above link contains all his quotes. Some of them I have mentioned here…


Let’s go invent tomorrow rather than worrying about what happened yesterday.

I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out ok.

I do not adopt softness towards others because I want to make them better.

The doers are the major thinkers. The people that really create the things that change this industry are both the thinker and doer in one person.

You can build your own things that other people can use. And once you learn that, you’ll never be the same again.

Once you discover one simple fact, and that is everything around you that you call life, was made up by people that were no smarter than you.

I always advise people – Don’t wait! Do something when you are young, when you have nothing to lose, and keep that in mind.

That’s why we started Apple, we said you know, we have absolutely nothing to lose. I was 20 years old at the time, Woz was 24-25, so we have nothing to lose. We have no families, no children, no houses. Woz had an old car. I had a Volkswagen van, I mean, all we were going to lose is our cars and the shirts off our back

There are other great ones…i have mentioned some

HE WILL ALWAYS BE AN INSPIRATION

Fast encryption to cheap smartphones by Google’s Adiantum

Encryption helps keep personal data, files, accounts, and pretty much everything inside the phone safe and sound, away from the hands of thieves and cybercriminals.

One can’t crack into someone else’s phone without knowing their pattern/PIN/password, and can’t extract information or files out of it either. But the problem with encryption is slower performance.

Adiantum is a new encryption algorithm developed by Google that serves as a lighter, more efficient alternative to AES encryption.

It’s made specifically to run without any added dedicated hardware, which means that cheaper devices and older devices, like Android Go phones, will be able to take advantage of this new encryption algorithm to have privacy and security.

Adiantum also aims to secure sensitive information and encrypt other devices such as smartwatches and Internet-connected medical devices, according to Google’s blog post.

Please check out this Google’s post this blog post for more information:

https://security.googleblog.com/2019/02/introducing-adiantum-encryption-for.html

Source:The Verge : Google has a new form of encryption called Adiantum that’s designed to bring storage encryption to cheaper Android devices without impacting performance. Currently, devices such as low-powered Android Go smartphones, smart watches, and TVs fall below Google’s performance requirements for encryption. With Adiantum, Google says that every Android device can be encrypted, meaning privacy won’t just be for those who can afford it.
