Based on some of the latest rumors regarding the phone and what we can expect, one artist, Jon Fawcett, created some concept pictures of what he thinks Apple's newest iPhone will look like when it hits store shelves.

With Its New Google+ iPhone App, Google Finally Gets It Right Some people just love Google+ and others just hate the company’s efforts to create a social network and a social layer across all of its services. Google itself seems to be pretty happy with the results it is getting from Google+ so far – or at least that’s what the company is saying publicly. No matter your overall feelings about Googl

「突然ひらめいた」。多くの発明家や起業家は、自身の発明品や新事業を振り返ってこう言います。ブランク氏は、そのひらめき（エピファニー）は偶然起こるものではなく、その人に十分なデータの蓄積があり、そのデータの背景にあるパターンが見えたときに起こる現象だと分析しています。エピファニーを意図的に起こすことは難しいですが、それが起こりやすくなるような環境は作れるというのは氏の主張です。（ITpro） 私たちがアントレプレナーにどのように教えるか。すなわち、ビジネスモデルをどのように考え、顧客開発を使って仮説を現実のものにするかという方法を、今では理解しています。しかし、どのように「エピファニー」（一瞬のひらめき、啓示、洞察の訪れ）を起こさせるかを、教えるプロセスはありません。私たちができるのは、そのような現象が起こり得る条件を整えることです。 すべてが一瞬でひらめいた NFS（全米科学財団）との共同
