“The iPad’s been dumbed down so far it’s distressing. And Microsoft of course followed suit with its interface.”

Kay claims the iPad is an anti-personal computer and not only is difficult, but doesn’t allow for symmetric creation. Instead of personal computers being designed “as a place where people are going to spend a lot of time and different people can exist there”, their design is based on marketing and the most number of devices being sold to the largest number of people.

Kay has a vast experience working with mobile computing devices dating back to the 1970s when he worked at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) which developed the first graphical user interface and personal computer. It was from there that Steve Jobs and Bill Gates got their ideas for what would become the two largest operating systems on the planet, Windows and Mac OS.

Samsung Knox security will now become even better, thanks to a partnership between Samsung and Absolute Software, aimed at including the Absolute firmware persistence technology into devices using Samsung Knox. It is the first time the technology is used in a smartphone, and it will allow users and/or IT admins to keep in touch with the device, track, manage and secure it, no matter where said device is or who might be using it.

What’s even more important is that the software reinstalls itself even if the device is reset to factory settings, allowing data wiping, recovery, as well as a variety of other remote tasks.
