Apple’s loss last week was enormous. I wrote all that I felt I could in theblog farewell on my website to a man I was lucky enough to know a little and admire a great deal. Most are probably now profoundly sick of hearing either how much he was under or overestimated as a man and as a figure of his times. I never knew of any human beings whose achievements were exactly estimated.
The word "estimate" is the clue here. I only know that if I had grandchildren and they heard me tell of my meetings with him they would feel as I might if my grandfather had told me about meeting Henry Ford, Rockefeller or Irving Thalberg. It might be, after all, that Aldous Huxley overestimated Henry Ford by making the dystopian future in his Brave New World name its calendar after him.
Some people become synecdoches, symbols or metonyms. Whether you think he was overpraised by some, underappreciated by others or whether you don't give a hoot doesn't really mean much to me. He mattered to me enormously. The standards he set, the passionate belief he had in the way that technology, the arts, design, fun, elegance and delight could all co-exist, the eternal pushing for higher standards, the refusal to accept standard paradigms in anything, either the conventional modus operandi of corporate affairs, technological matters or market practices was an example from which the world will continue to learn.
Believe me, there will be more than 500 books published in the next year which will claim to be able to teach you how to improve your business/profits/image/career by using the "Jobs example". How he would have loathed that. I have sat on judging panels that have wanted to give him extremely prestigious awards. He only ever accepted awards on behalf of the company, not on his own. Whatever your view of him, huckster, snake-oil salesman, evangelist or hero, the whole point is that copying someone who disdained copying anything would be the dumbest joke of all. The wider legacy will be determined by that bastard son of a mongrel bitch, history, but there is a short-term one. I had put into my hand a newiPhone 4S just eight or so hours before Steve Jobs left the world. You can imagine, I hope, the ambivalence I felt as I tested and trialled this phone in the knowledge that it was the last fully operational Apple device he would ever see.
Apple has always come up with new iPhone models at regular intervals. The very first appeared in June 2007, the following year saw the Apple 3G which allowed, as the name suggested, 3G data transmission speeds and introduced the idea of the App Store with the resultant explosion of third-party apps, whose imagination, range, variation and ingenuity still continue to astonish.
In 2009 came the iPhone 3GS. "Oh," said the world, in a rather hurt, disappointed voice, "that's rather odd. Why, it looks just like the 3G. It's hardly different at all."
The "S" stood for speed and some felt that a souped-up 3G barely qualified as a new phone at all. Why the need for the already tiresome cliche photographs of queues outside the 5th Avenue store in New York and the unhealthy sight of chubby, bearded geeks brandishing their new boxes? Surely Apple was exploiting this whole hype launch cycle without any real innovation to back it up?
In fact the release of the 3GS coincided with a new operating system, 3.0, which gave us the much-needed cut and paste facility whose embarrassing absence had been a distressing nuisance, it added MMS, and a whole new suite of extras, Voice Control and tethering, for example, all of which were also possible on an "old" 3G or even original iPhone 1 if they upgraded their firmware, but which really proved themselves on the 3GS's faster Cortex A8 processor.
Despite the initial disappointment, the success of the 3GS was instantaneous, Apple sold a million
units in the first weekend, and the model's continued triumph created the conditions that allowed for the Apple iOS product line that followed: the iPhone 4 and the iPad. To put it crudely, the 3GS was such an outstanding win that it made Apple cash-rich enough to be able to move forward in all kinds of ways.
The iPad, aside from its other original features, was powered by Apple's own proprietary chip, the A4. The iPad 2 by the A5. Apple was able to take more and more control over the implementation of every detail, integrating their own chips, radios and antennae in new ways that allowed for increased reliability, fluency, speed and – crucially – battery life. Indeed, the energy efficiency of the iPad remains one of its most astonishing features.
This week history repeats itself: a "new" iPhone which has the same form-factor as its predecessor but with an "S" added, again, for speed. Many might express similar disappointment, but as was the case with the 3GS – there also arrives a new operating system, iOS 5.0, which will work on previous models (but not the 3G or iPhone 1 I believe).
iOS 5.0 allows Over The Air updating and iTunes syncing, gives (AT LAST!!) a glossary so that we can make up our own text abbreviations and correct bad auto-correct habits (if ever I type "tou" it now automatically becomes "you"), offers a vast, customisable range of notification options, including a draw-down curtain familiar to Android users. iOS 5 also integrates Twitter globally so that I can go to a website, for example, and see that "Tweet" has been added to the list of sharing options available.
You will see from my screenshot that one can create a reading list too from Safari. There's tabbed browsing also. And iMessaging, which means you can "text" from an iPod touch or iPad.
Most noticeable is the all-new iCloud, which replaces the never wildly successful MobileMe. iCloud is free and allows users to store their data, photos, apps, music and whole iPhone identity, look, feel and functionality "up there" in that happy space we call the cloud. In fact this cloud is, I believe, a mountainside in North Carolina. MobileMe users can transfer their identities seamlessly and easily, others simply create a new account for free by following simple instructions. There is an option to enable Photostream, which keeps every picture you take for ever. Be warned. You cannot delete a picture once it is in Photostream. There may well be blushes within families who share devices and discover that a photo they would rather not be seen is permanently on view, but they'll have to learn the hard way. iOS 5 will make your existing iPhone so like a new one that you might even forget the iPhone 4S …
4S is the first iPhone with a proprietary dual core A5 chip, Apple is claiming it can process graphics up to seven times faster. Other increases in performance will strengthen the iPhone's position in the handheld gaming market. For users like me it is apparent that the new 8MP front-facing camera, with its five-element lens, facial recognition and image stabilisation is fabulously impressive, as are increased speeds in data browsing and general app loading in everyday use.
Apple's new cash richness also allowed them to buy a little third-party app called Siri, which billed itself as a personal assistant. I remember writing a joshing note to Jo, my PA, in February last year when Siri came out. "Hm … Jo, Siri? Siri, Jo? … Hard to tell ..." And then Siri seemed to disappear. Little did we know that Apple had bought this (originally DARPA developed) technology and was due to bake it into its new phone.
Siri is the USP of the 4S, it is essentially Voice Control that really works. You talk to it, it talks back. You can ask it questions in natural English: "what is 436 times 734?" and you get an answer neatly displayed on what looks like old-fashioned punched computer paper. Wolfram Alpha is used as the database, and its elegance suits the experience perfectly.
Here are three pictures that show my experience when I asked Siri "What is the capital of Finland?" You can scroll down the final one and see a map and other details. It's fast and very very impressive. Even better, it senses when you bring your device to your ear so you can talk to it as if you're on the phone to someone, rather than having to endure the embarrassment of yelling at it at arms length. So good is the voice recognition that it is now built into all apps that use a keyboard. For the first time I've found that I can happily and accurately dictate texts and emails. Dragon Dictate are going to be very sore about it, but I have no doubt they will collude with others to bring a similar service to Android and Windows 7 phones as soon as they can. For this really works. For the moment local searches are only available for the US, but that will soon change, one assumes.
Siri, the high quality and ultra-fast camera, 30 fps 1080p HD video, globally available voice recognition and the introduction of two antennae (the phone seamlessly switches between whichever is getting the strongest signal) are features that make the 4S irresistible; what is more, the unchanged form means that a whole new range of covers and accessories won't be required.
Stephen Fry's iPhone 4S: result Photograph: Stephen Fry
If you are tired of the upgrade race or feel you can't justify the expense, you at least have the knowledge that iOS 5 will transform your existing iPhone enthrallingly.
In a sad, sad week for Apple, come a new phone and a new operating system that between them show the company still at the top of its game, still innovating, still implementing new technologies at a level of perfection and fluency that is only possible when you make, design and control it all: device, chip architecture and operating system.
Once again Apple is taking a lead and asking a lot of its competitors. I wish those competitors luck, for the better all smartphones are, the happier I am. If Steve Jobs's true legacy is that the devices every other company makes are so, so much better than they otherwise would have been, I don't think he would mind one bit.

Filed for The Guardian, 05 August 1991 Eileen McKay sits on her sofa and talks about the plight of her fellow villagers in a matter-of-fact tone of voice. “The very first house, the lady there died of cancer. The third house in the next block, Hamish Campbell, he died of cancer. Three houses up from that, Marybell Gibson died of cancer. Two houses from that Mrs Smith died of cancer.” She is staring out of the window, checking them off in her mind. “The lady that used to live in the house on the corner there, Jean Hale, she died of cancer. Another lady in the village is being treated for breast cancer. And a girl I know who used to live here has breast cancer.” She pauses to think. She lists another three people from the vicinity who have died from the rare muscle-wasting Motor Neurone Disease. Then she remembers two other cases which had been mentioned to her: a throat cancer and a brain tumour. All the cancers, she says, came from the same two streets in the last five years. All the victims were in their forties or fifties. Altogether there seem to have been up to nine cancers from 36 houses - a rate that Eileen McKay regards as “astounding”. The estate where she has lived for the last 12 years - Glenview - sits on the edge of the Western Highland village of Dalmally in Scotland. It is quiet, well-kept and attractive apart from its one outstanding feature: a towering, crackling 275,000-volt electricity pylon planted plumb in the middle of the houses. What villagers once regarded as merely an ugly visual intrusion is now the source of growing fears about their health. Some of them are worried that the power lines which stretch and spark over their shop, their police station, their pottery, their primary school and their homes could be causing their cancers. Eileen McKay, who first became aware of the high rate of cancers when her husband started working for the ambulance service, is joining with other residents to press for an independent investigation to be carried out. She wants the pylon, around which Argyll and Bute District Council crammed Glenview in the 1970s, to be moved. A mother of two, she says: “It‟s not for me. It‟s the children I worry about.” No-one can say for sure whether she has anything real to worry about. But her voice is just one in a mounting chorus of concern, particularly in the United States, about the health implications of what are known as “electromagnetic fields”. This is the non-ionising radiation (as opposed to the ionising variety emitted by nuclear materials) which is emitted by a huge range of modern technology, including radar stations, satellites, television masts, microwave ovens, mobile telephones, visual display terminals, electric blankets and power lines. In a draft report last year the US government‟s Environmental Protection Agency concluded that the electromagnetic fields from power lines were “a possible, but not proven, cause of cancer in people.” An earlier text prepared by EPA staff had gone further, classifying the type of extremely low frequency field that emanates from power lines, VDUs and electric blankets as a “probable human
carcinogen” alongside dioxin, DDT and PCBs. The different type of radiofrequency and microwave fields that come from mobile telephones, radio and TV masts, police and military radars were described as a “possible human carcinogen” alongside saccharin. But the staff recommendations were deleted by senior EPA staff a few days after they had met with officials from the Office of Policy Development at the White House. Since then the EPA report has been subjected to a series of reviews and rewrites which have resulted in its conclusions being further watered down. The current draft says that there is insufficient evidence to conclude that electromagnetic fields are carcinogenic. If that is its final verdict, it will accord with the position currently adopted by Britain‟s regulatory agency, the National Radiological Protection Board. Its latest formal guidance on the subject, published in 1989, concludes that there is not enough data “either to make a health risk assessment (in any quantified sense) or even to determine whether there is a potential hazard to health.” Nevertheless it warns that there may be concealed hazards for particularly vulnerable groups of people and stresses the importance of further research. Last year it set up a special advisory group on electromagnetic fields under Oxford professor, Sir Richard Doll, to examine the EPA‟s draft report. Aided by four new literature reviews being produced by the NRPB, it is expected to report before the end of the year. One of the reviews published last week <6 August> acknowledges “several areas of biological interaction which have health implications and about which our knowledge is limited.” It draws attention to the impact of electromagnetic fields on a cancer-suppressing hormone known as melatonin produced by the pineal gland in the brain. It talks about alterations in the biological rhythms of animals and “possible effects” on the spread of cancer in the body. A £1 million a year investigation launched by the UK electricity industry in 1988 has run into delays because of problems with measuring equipment. One of the most important parts of the study - comprehensive research into the causes of childhood cancer - is not due to start until next year. In the meantime the National Grid Company (which runs the power lines in England and Wales) and Scottish Power (responsible for the pylons that stride across Dalmally) both maintain that there is no established connection between health problems and electromagnetic fields. “If the villagers of Dalmally have any fears they wish to discuss with us we will be most happy to talk to them directly. The suggestion that people working or living near transmission lines may carry an increased risk of cancer has not been substantiated despite intensive research worldwide,” said a statement from Scottish Power. “Bullshit” says Louis Slesin, the editor of a New York-based specialist newsletter, Microwave News. “There have been over 40 different epidemiological studies linking the kind of electromagnetic field from power lines with cancer. There have been studies showing effects on animals and studies showing effects on cells. What more do you want?”
“The trouble is that the UK is as always light years behind on these things. Here there is essential agreement that something is going on and it cannot be dismissed. And we have to do a lot of work to find out exactly what is happening.” He points to one recent US study showing that the rate of brain cancer in young children has increased 30% over the last 15 years. “We don‟t know what is causing it but we do know that there are 14 individual studies linking exposure to electromagnetic fields to brain cancer in adults and children.” At least three law suits are pending in the US following evidence that police officers who used radar guns to trap speeding motorists can contract rare forms of cancer on the neck, leg or groin - near where the guns are stored. There have also been high rates of cancer discovered amongst telephone workers, electricians, radio hams and US personnel subjected to microwave radiation in the Moscow embassy. Cancer clusters have been identified around TV stations and a naval communications base in Hawaii as well as a short-wave „Voice of America‟ transmitter in southern California. There has been heated controversy over whether the very low frequency transmissions from the US naval communications base at Forss, next to the Dounreay nuclear plant in Caithness, could contribute to the locally high rate of childhood leukaemia. Concern amongst farmers in the Netherlands about the effects of electromagnetic fields on their livestock is so great that over 800 are reported to have buried a six foot length of tubing known as a Broncorrector on their farms. The device, which is about to be marketed in Britain, has been claimed to protect the health of animals. There is no doubt that electromagnetic fields can interfere with the sophisticated electronic systems increasingly used in vehicles and high technology devices. The Ministry of Defence protects its aircraft from HERO - Hazards of Electromagnetic Radiation to Ordnance - and the Atomic Energy Authority has developed an electromagnetic “torture chamber” at Culham in Oxfordshire to assess the vulnerability of electrical equipment. A report for the nuclear-free local authorities published last month <July> highlighted a threat to modern car safety systems from the early warning radar station at Fylingdales on the North Yorkshire moors. But despite all the studies no-one can say precisely how electromagnetic fields might induce cancer. It is not clear what aspect of the radiation might be dangerous, what the relative risk of different frequencies might be, or whether there are any safe limits below which exposure is harmless. There has been much speculation about the possibility of complex interactions with chemicals and radioactivity. All that those who live under the power lines in Dalmally know for sure is that their radio and television reception is abysmal. They talk about the mild shocks they experience while working on roofs or carrying umbrellas. They say the lines hiss when it is wet. The primary school headmaster, George Kay, used to live in the school house immediately under the wires. He says that a hole had to be specially dug for the
building to make sure that there was adequate clearance. He was worried enough about the health implications to persuade the education authority to move him and his family to another home two miles away. “I would rather my family were not the guinea pig”, he explains. “I made a personal decision and moved out. I was fortunate that I had the opportunity to do so. I know there are other folk who haven‟t got the same opportunity.”
Anna AW 5 Miss Keyzer 03/15/10 My Review of The Guardian
The Guardian, a rare and commendable action and drama movie, was directed by Andrew Davis in 2006. It was reorganized on the basis of a true story. In 2005, a fierce flood broke out in New Orleans, then the trapped people saw the rescue swimmers jump from the helicopters one by one like angels. These men fight against the flood and pulled the people back from death, so they are called “the protectors of lives”. Director Andrew Davis was deeply moved by this; therefore he produced the movie The Guardian to uncover the mysterious veil of the coast guardian. This movie is filled with action, suspense, and a little cruelness, and is well worth watching.
Ben Randall, the main character of this movie, is a legendary rescue swimmer. In an unfortunately accident, Ben loses five of his teammates and only he survived. This tragedy makes Ben depressed, and strong guilty nearly makes him break down. Ben’s superior sees this in his eyes, so he send Ben to A-school, an elite training base, to be a coach in order to help be recover. In A-school, Ben does not teach predetermined courses but chooses a unique method according to his own experience. While in A-school, Ben meets a swim champion, Jake Fisher, who is young but conceited and trying to be the best rescue swimmer.
The audience would eager to know something more that happened to Jake Fisher. What will happen between Jake and Ben during training? What the unique teaching method is? Will Jake be a true rescue swimmer or be dismissed from school? If one wants to know the
answers, he only needs to watch it until the end.
The advantage of this movie is obvious. It strongly advocates the spirit of heroism and sacrifice, just as the motto of rescue swimmers “So others may live”. In my opinion, this movie does not bring forth new ideas. At the same time visual effects is not as splendid as other action movies. Despite that, it is still a good movie well worth watching not only because the excellent performance of the actors, but because it delivers firm believe to many people and urges them to be brave, to pursue their dreams and to make contributions. I am sure that whoever watches the movie will never regret.

No one who knew Polly Bide well was surprised by the way she faced her illness. She brought to it her characteristic and unusual combination of organisational zeal and sweetness of temper.
Being brave at the end, as Philip Larkin observed, is mostly about not scaring others. Polly knew the art of sending her bedside visitors away in a better frame of mind. She was a beautiful, strong-boned woman, with a resplendent smile and an endearing nervous laugh. Finally, both the smile and the laugh became ghostly, and effortful, but they never deserted her.
Most deaths seem premature, but in Polly's case this was particularly so. Since the death of her first husband, her life had devolved around the care of her children and her career in television. In recent years, all her work came to fruition: her children became gifted and affectionate adults, her achievements in television were being widely acknowledged, and she had met Bill Cran.
Together, they made the kind of large and generous household she had always longed for. To me at least, their house by the river in Chiswick had echoes of the rambling vicarages she grew up in, and where I spent some of my holidays as an undergraduate.
We met at Sussex University in 1967. She was an intellectual star and, against the trend of the times, extremely hard-working. When we were hitch-hiking to the Amalfi coast one summer, she patiently explained to me Merlau-Ponty's phenomenology of mind. But she was also sensual and carefree, and loved Mediterranean Europe. She taught me how to make risotto and dress salads, and find good but cheap red wine - all exotic and liberating elements to me in those days.
During one of my last visits to her recently, her husband phoned in from work to check up on her. I was about to leave the room to give her privacy, but she waved me back into my chair beside the various life support machines. The exchange of tender endearments that I was bound to overhear was the clear expression of the supreme achievement of love. That she was snatched away from it is tragic; that she and Bill found it, however late, remains a cause for joy.
