Facebook Launches unmanned aircraft (Free Internet)

As part of our Internet.org effort to connect the world, we've designed unmanned aircraft that can beam internet access down to people from the sky.

Today, I'm excited to share that we've successfully completed our first test flight of these aircraft in the UK.

The final design will have a wingspan greater than a Boeing 737 but will weigh less than a car. It will be powered by solar panels on its wings and it will be able to stay at altitudes of more than 60,000 feet for months at a time.

Aircraft like these will help connect the whole world because they can affordably serve the 10% of the world's population that live in remote communities without existing internet infrastructure.

We'll talk about this more in a keynote at F8 that starts at 10am Pacific. You can watch at fbf8.com. #f8

What happened to Steve Jobs' office at Apple?

Steve Jobs' old office at Apple has remained almost completely untouched since his death on October 5, 2011. Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed in an interview with Fast Company published on March 18, 2015 that he and his team have left it "exactly like it was" before he died.

 

 

Q: I noticed you still have Steve’s nameplate up next to his old office.

Tim Cook: Yeah.

Q: Why? And will you have anything like that over at the new place?

Tim Cook: I haven’t decided about what we’ll do there. But I wanted to keep his office exactly like it was. I was in there with Laurene [Powell Jobs, Steve’s wife] the other day because there are still drawings on the board from the kids. I took Eve [Steve’s daughter] in there over the summer and she saw some things that she had drawn on his white board years earlier.

In the beginning I really didn’t personally want to go in there. It was just too much. Now I get a lot more appreciation out of going in there, even though I don’t go in very often.

What we’ll do over time, I don’t know. I didn’t want to move in there. I think he’s an irreplaceable person and so it didn’t feel right . . . for anything to go on in that office. So his computer is still in there as it was, his desk is still in there as it was, he’s got a bunch of books in there. Laurene took some things to the house.

I don’t know. His name should still be on the door. That’s just the way it should be. That’s what felt right to me.
