Austin, TX. (PRWEB) March 05, 2012

James R. Gorrie talks about Apple in the recent ?Apples and Dinosaurs? article published in the Absolute Wealth newsletter. The iPad/iPhone maker had just surpassed ExxonMobil for that title and was, the newsletter adds, a terrific example of outside the box thinking in American business.

Now that Apple has achieved another milestone of becoming worth $ 500 billion, which the newsletter reveals, is more than the net worth of Poland, another look at the garage borne company is in order. The Absolute Wealth newsletter explains, that it is enlightening to compare Apple with ExxonMobil in terms of what effects the two giant firms have upon people collectively and as individuals.

The comparison between the two firms is startling, the newsletter explains, because first of all, examine the motivations that drive each company to do what they do. That is, the newsletter says, identify the why at Apple, why didn?t Apple simply make good computers? They would still make money, for a while the newsletter reports, at least, but money for its own sake wasn?t it.

For Apple Absolute Wealth reveals in their newsletter, innovation is the key motivation, innovation is what allows the Apple guys to become zillionaires. Innovation isn?t just deciding to make something different; it?s also a decision to be something different, the newsletter explains.

The newsletter asks what?s the ?why? behind Apple?s innovation? Possible, the newsletter says, it is to more efficiently process information and communication, or more simply put, personal liberty. The Absolute Wealth newsletter explains, that Apple?s innovations have led to greater personal liberty and freedom of movement than any other invention since, the automobile.

Which brings up ExxonMobil, the newsletter reveals, who also has a huge impact upon each and every person. Oil is what fuels cars, heats homes, and powers power plants the newsletter adds, truth is, today, people cannot function as a society without it. The Absolute Wealth newsletter reports the irony is, what once set people free, now has people over a barrel. The cost of individual freedom is counted in the price of a barrel of oil, explains the newsletter.

The ?why? of oil companies like ExxonMobil, the newsletter reveals, is clearly not innovation, because the internal combustion engine technology is over 100 years old. The basic concept of burning a fossil fuel to power society is archaic at best, the newsletter says, so oil technology, as its essence, has become a suppressive force in society.

Unlike Apple the newsletter reveals, which embraces innovation, the oil industry fears innovation, because if it were to be rendered obsolete, it would fail to meet its primary goal. Which, the newsletter explains, is to make money and to keep making money, ExxonMobil, and all other oil companies, must stifle innovation and suppress new ideas in order to protect their business.

Sunnyvale, CA (PRWEB) November 15, 2011

IPEVO, Inc., a designer and maker of products for emerging Internet-driven behaviors, has announced the release of Perch, a stand for Apple’s iPad tablet computer. The IPEVO Store (http://www.ipevo.com) will serve as the exclusive retailer for the product, which will be available for purchase starting immediately.

Perch is available in three different sizes according to height ? Small, Medium, and Large. For each size, users can choose from either iPad or iPad 2, and black or white. Products range in price ? $ 49.95 for the Small stand, $ 79.95 for the Medium stand, and $ 129.00 for the Large stand.

Stands are named after the different intended behaviors and environments for which they are designed. The Small (S), or Desktop model, is compact enough to fit on tabletops, kitchen countertops, bar counters, reception desks, and similar. The Desktop model can also be used along with a wireless keyboard for a laptop-style setup. The Medium (M), or Sofa model, is intended for sitting users, whether on a sofa, chair, or bed. The Large (L), or Podium model, is tall enough for standing users, and can be used as an “iPodium” for presentations and speeches.

Perch is created with a simple, modern style intended to visually complement the iPad. The base is made from steel to provide a sturdy foundation and is designed with flat, V-shaped feet. These feet can be slipped under sofa and beds or positioned at the corners of furniture to bring the iPad closer to the user. The pole (or leg) of the stand is constructed with a forged aluminum alloy which lends both lightweight portability and durability. And the iPad holder is made from a double-injected, heavy-duty plastic and soft silicon for device protection and stability. The iPad is installed via a gentle push into the ribbed lip of the holder, and may be easily removed with a special grip tab. A triangular cutout on the back of the holder further facilitates removal, such that the user may grasp the back of the iPad. Perch’s design mounts the iPad in an ideal position for a wide range of user interactions.

Royce Hong, CEO and big head of design of IPEVO, commented on the thinking behind Perch: ?We knew that a ‘one size fits all’ approach would not work with Perch. The iPad has freed the user to take their computing most anywhere, and that’s reflected with the three models of Perch. The S model is designed for tabletops, whether that means a business meeting, a one-on-one e-learning session, following a recipe in the kitchen, or watching a video on the coffee table. The M model is ideal for seated users in the living room, and the L model, in addition to its podium function, is great for interacting with iPads while standing up ? whether it is showrooms, museums, art galleries, or anyplace else a multimedia signboard is desired.”

For all three sizes, a special dual-axis hinge allows the user to customize the viewing experience by changing tilt (for viewing angle) and rotation (for orientation). This is done with a twist of the hands, and no knobs or levers are required.

The Perch family of stands for iPad and iPad 2 will be available through IPEVO’s online store at http://www.ipevo.com.
