In Apple's earnings call, Apple was asked how the process 500 million in cash, Jobs replied: Apple will soon usher in a strategic opportunity, but do not want to do stupid acquisitions. Kafka believes that next year such as Facebook by 35 to 40 billion U.S. dollars initial public offering, Apple will be interested.
Here’s what I heard. “I think we’ve demonstrated a really strong track record of being very disciplined with the use of our cash,” Jobs said. “So I think that we’d like to continue to keep our powder dry because we do feel there are one or more strategic opportunities in the future, that’s the biggest reason.”
That could mean a lot of things, but as Kafka wrote:
I don’t remember Jobs every signaling his desire to go shopping quite as openly as this before (feel free to correct me in comments if I have this one wrong). Two caveats:
* Jobs is famous for saying one thing and doing… something else. So don’t get too riled up about this.
* Just because Jobs is talking about spending money on “opportunities” doesn’t mean he’s talking about buying a company. He could be talking about big, hairy capital expenditures, like the billion-dollar server farm it’s finishing up in North Carolina.
So what will Jobs spend the money on? Kafka’s suggestion: Facebook. If Facebook has the option of going public for between, say, $35 and $40 billion, next year, Apple could cover that.
That would certainly qualify as a “strategic opportunity.” Just as Apple has struggled to compete with Google’s web services, Google has been trumped in social networking by Facebook. Jobs and Zuckerberg have even been seen together, Kafka notes.
Ostensibly that involves finding a way to integrate Apple’s Ping music discovery service with Facebook. But while they’re talking…
What do you think? What would you buy if you were Steve Jobs and had $51 billion to spend? Weigh in below.

Vietnam already have prototype of CDMA version of iPhone
Apple Releases iPhone CDMA version of the message widely circulated in the past few days, it seems that its authenticity is not questioned. Now, there are an unknown site in the exaggeration, claiming that to get a test prototype of CDMA version of iPhone. Although most of these pictures blurred, but the basic is to determine the aircraft's design and not much different from the existing iPhone 4.
In these latest leaked images, the iPhone appears with a designation of N92DVT, a codename that provides some insight into the production status and possible identity of the handset. According to information previously release by John Gruber on his Daring Fireball blog, N92 is the internal codename given to the CDMA iPhone. The DVT portion of the name refers to Design Verification Testing, one of the final stages in product development. This is the stage at which the iPhone 4 was lost and found in a bar earlier this year.
The source post also claims the CDMA smartphone from Apple includes a micro-SIM slot and suggests this rumored handset may have support for global roaming. This claim fits in nicely with an earlier rumor that points to an Apple smartphone with both CDMA and GSM/HSPA capabilities. Unfortunately, the presence of this micro-SIM slot can not be verified by the leaked photos. Higher quality shots are not available as the Vietnamese repair shop no longer has the phone in its possession.
In the end, these leaked images show little more than an iPhone-4 like handset that may or may not be photoshopped to have the appearance of the rumored N92 CDMA variant. While the timing is right for a DVT prototype to surface just prior to its big early 2011 launch, I am not convinced that these images are legitimate. Sound off in the comments and let us know what you think of these leaked photos. Are they real or a really good fake?

Google's Android was generating more revenue than the apple's iPhone
Mobile advertising firm Millennial Media said in the company's advertising network, Android was generating more revenue than the iPhone.According to the company "Mobile Mix" report in September, Android is the second largest mobile network equipment, and has been in this position since July 2010. Since then, Android ads are the monthly growth rate of 2%, and now the share has reached 29%.
The platform didn't overtake iOS for revenue as a whole, since the iPad and iPod touch combined still outweighed what Android could manage. Apple's tablet saw a rapid rise over the summer, growing 63 percent just in raw traffic from month to month but more than tripling revenue with a 316 percent boost.
RIM had five of the top 20 smartphones in the roster, but its combined effort only got it 12.6 percent of share on Millenial's network. Sony Ericsson was notable, as while it was still a bit player with just 1.6 percent had enough share to reach eighth place in device share: the Xperia X10 has been in the top 20 for two months.
The share doesn't represent a recreation of market share but does suggest that Android has been continuing to make gains in share and has become a successful enough app platform that developers can expect significant ad revenue. Android Market has often had a heavy bias towards free apps over paid but has also been a relatively poor ad market due to a lack of exposure. The rise of the platform has led to more significant advertisers and more professional-quality apps.

Mark Zuckerburg is not interested in making money
Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerburg said he was not concerned about the current profitability of Facebook when Speaking at incubator Y Combinator's Startup School, Facebook is focused on gaining users and improving the experience for existing users.
Zuckerberg said that any extra cash is just reinvested in the product, so Facebook is currently still run at "around" break-even level. Zuckerberg said: "There's no point right now in having a massive profit," however, Zuckerberg on Facebook's attitude is changing. He said the Building a company is one of the most efficient ways in the world that you can kind of align the incentives of a lot of smart people towards making a change.
Zuckerberg also talked about the movie "social networking." Zuckerberg acknowledged that some details of the film is real. For example, "every shirt and fleece" in the movie is one that he has worn. But he also pointed out, it's revealing to compare what the movie got right and what it got wrong. He said he founded the Facebook is not for chasing girls, he had a girlfriend Priscilla Chan since before starting Facebook.
However, according to David Kirkpatrick's "Facebook effect", since Zuckerberg and Chan broke up, Zuckerberg had another girlfriend during Facebook's early days in Silicon Valley. Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan didn't start dating again until 2006.
Zuckerberg said that some of the misunderstanding of the film proved the difference between Hollywood and Silicon Valley. He said: "Hollywood can not understand, it was created just because they like something."

New patent for apple iphone Stop "sexting"
Apple has received to stop publishing inappropriate text messages or pornography patent applications, which means that iPhone owners will be to stop using their mobile phones to send pornographic text messages or other inappropriate information. The purpose of this application is to stop the mobile phone users send pornographic or other induced SMS.
While "sexting" isn't mentioned once in the patent, the technology appears to enable users to control the content of text-based messages, so that parents -- or employers -- could exclude or replace "forbidden" content. Presumably the administrator could select verboten words or product names, which would be flagged or replaced when they appear on a user's handset.
According to tech blog TechCrunch, the background info for the patent states in part that currently there is "no way to monitor and control text communications to make them user appropriate.
"For example, users such as children may send or receive messages (intentionally or not) with parentally objectionable language."
And of the patent itself: "In one embodiment, the control application includes a parental control application.
"The parental control application evaluates whether or not the communication contains approved text based on, for example, objective ratings criteria or a user's age or grade level, and, if unauthorised, prevents such text from being included in the text-based communication.
"If the control contains unauthorised text, the control application may alert the user, the administrator or other designated individuals of the presence of such text.
Many of the stars can also be used by the program. Many celebrities in trouble because they used mobile phones to send with the restricted information, such as we know Tiger Woods.

New high-tech product Tablet PC made in China
Tablet PC With the rise of mobile Internet has become increasingly hot, which is reflected in this year's CommunicAsia. Terminal manufacturers only show new phones in the past. The addition of telecommunications exhibition this year out of a class of products, it is Tablet PC. I believe that the Tablet PC market will usher in a competition, even though the short term the market will not be as competitive as mobile phones, but this marks a new product, new market start.
ZTE, a publicly-owned, Chinese corporation that designs and manufactures telecommunications equipment and systems, claimed that ZTE Light is more portable, easy-to-use and internet friendly tablet PC, which provides brand new experience to entertainment and internet access. The 3G ready ZTE Light has 3 megapixel camera and memory card slot for the extension upto 32 GB.
ZTE Light offers GPS navigation, music and video player with Mp4 support, and WiFi. It also supports voice calling on dual band UMTS 2100 MHZ/900 MHZ and internet access on HSUPA network with a download speed of up to 7.2 Mbps and an upload speed of up to 5.76 Mbps.
ZTE plans to sell the tablet through retail channels as well as in partnerships with telecom operators. All of the devices will carry the ZTE brand, but some may be co-branded with mobile operators, the company said.
So far the bulk of ZTE’s revenues come from the sale of telecom infrastructure equipment such as routers. But its shipments of handsets and other mobile devices are growing fast, and the company has said it aims to expand this segment to match revenues from the network gear segment.
Industry analysts have said that in the next 3-5 years, China's Tablet PC will be a sustained and rapid development stage. Before 2014, the rapid development of tablet PCs, Tablet PCs are in the Chinese market has a huge user base.

Google's new technology allows automatic driving vehicle
Google announced the company apart in the normal business operations, is also developing the technology allows automatic driving vehicle. The company said in a blog, using this technology can reduce by half the number of deaths due to traffic accidents worldwide each year about 60 million lives saved. At the same time Google also hopes to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Two recent announcements have made self-driving cars seem a lot closer to reality. The first comes from the Army, which is now using self-driving vehicles to guard a large military facility and nuclear waste dump in Nevada. And then there's Google, which recently announced that it has developed self-driving cars that have logged over 100,000 miles on real roads in real traffic.
What is going on inside these cars to make it possible for them to drive themselves? Let's take a look.
You could, in theory, turn any car into a self-driving car. The first thing you would have to do is make it possible for a computer to control the car. This is not quite as easy as it sounds, but it is relatively straightforward. The computer needs to be able to turn the steering wheel, push the accelerator and brake pedals, move the gear shift control and start the engine.
These tasks, at least in experimental self-driving cars, are often accomplished with motors. A motor is mounted so it can turn the existing steering wheel. Another motor is able to put pressure on the accelerator and brake pedals. And so on. It is not a particularly elegant solution, but it gets the job done. As production cars become more advanced, drive-by-wire systems are becoming more common. In cars with drive-by-wire, a computer can hook directly into the existing control systems.
The next thing that a self-driving car needs is sensors, and here things get pretty complicated today. A human being drives a car by using his or her eyes as the sole sensor. The human visual system is amazing in this regard, because it is able to accurately judge the presence of obstacles, their distance, their relative size based on distance, their speed, etc. A human being also recognizes what he is seeing. If a human being sees a fence, she can accurately predict with high certainty that it will not jump into the middle of the road. On the other hand, a child playing with a ball on a sidewalk is a different story.
Computer vision systems are nowhere near this point in their development. So they rely on extra sensors to provide more information. Self-driving cars do have camera-based vision systems that they use to see other cars, unexpected obstacles, road markings and signs. But in addition, self-driving cars almost always have GPS sensors so that they have a better idea of exactly where they are and where they are pointing. They also have LADAR systems — laser scanners that can look for nearby objects and accurately judge their distance. They may have RADAR systems as well. They may also have infrared sensors to improve night vision.
These sensors all feed into a powerful onboard computer (often multiple computers) that process all the data that the sensors are gathering. The internal computer will have access to a database of maps and other relevant information. For example, engineers may pre-drive a route and pre-catalog all signs, road markings, curbs, crosswalks, traffic lights, etc. that the self-driving car will encounter along the road. This way, the car knows what to expect and can plan accordingly. Finally, the onboard computer may also be communicating by radio with bigger computers holding even more data.

Windows Phone 7 is the last hope for Microsoft
Many people say that Windows Phone 7 is the last hope of Microsoft in the smartphone market, indeed, it is vital time for Microsoft. Although the smart phone market is fiercely competitive, but Microsoft is no other choice. Microsoft's main concern is their own economic interests, but also those who like HTC, ihkc that old cell phone manufacturers also want to see other companies compete with each other. So what kind of advantages of Microsoft's new mobile operating system Windows Phone 7 in the end?
The world's largest software company is hoping that the new phones, from handset makers Samsung, LG, HTC and Dell, will propel it back into the mobile market, which many see as the key to the future of computing, reports the Daily Mail.
The new phones, initially available on the T-Mobile network in Britain and on AT&T in the US, are much closer in look and feel to Apple's iPhone , with colourful touch-screens and 'tiles' for easy access to email, the Web, music and other applications.
Ballmer, who has admitted that his company 'missed a generation' with its recent unpopular phone offerings, said the new phones would eventually be available from 60 mobile operators in 30 countries.
Meanwhile, at a simultaneous launch event at London's Institute Of Contemporary Arts (ICA), Microsoft announced that WP7 will be coming on the Dell Venue Pro by Christmas.
Dell's Venue Pro will join five other WP7 handsets - three from HTC and one each from LG and Samsung - in the British market in the coming months.
In the US, the first phone from AT&T, priced at $200, will be available Nov 8.
Six Windows Phone 7 handsets will be released in Britain in the coming months, including three from HTC and the Dell Venue Pro, which is the only model to come with a slide-out keyboard
Microsoft has a market share of only five percent in the global smartphone market, according to research firm Gartner, compared with nine percent a year ago.

You could, in theory, turn any car into a self-driving car. The first thing you would have to do is make it possible for a computer to control the car. This is not quite as easy as it sounds, but it is relatively straightforward. The computer needs to be able to turn the steering wheel, push the accelerator and brake pedals, move the gear shift control and start the engine.
These tasks, at least in experimental self-driving cars, are often accomplished with motors. A motor is mounted so it can turn the existing steering wheel. Another motor is able to put pressure on the accelerator and brake pedals. And so on. It is not a particularly elegant solution, but it gets the job done. As production cars become more advanced, drive-by-wire systems are becoming more common. In cars with drive-by-wire, a computer can hook directly into the existing control systems.
The next thing that a self-driving car needs is sensors, and here things get pretty complicated today. A human being drives a car by using his or her eyes as the sole sensor. The human visual system is amazing in this regard, because it is able to accurately judge the presence of obstacles, their distance, their relative size based on distance, their speed, etc. A human being also recognizes what he is seeing. If a human being sees a fence, she can accurately predict with high certainty that it will not jump into the middle of the road. On the other hand, a child playing with a ball on a sidewalk is a different story.
Computer vision systems are nowhere near this point in their development. So they rely on extra sensors to provide more information. Self-driving cars do have camera-based vision systems that they use to see other cars, unexpected obstacles, road markings and signs. But in addition, self-driving cars almost always have GPS sensors so that they have a better idea of exactly where they are and where they are pointing. They also have LADAR systems — laser scanners that can look for nearby objects and accurately judge their distance. They may have RADAR systems as well. They may also have infrared sensors to improve night vision.
These sensors all feed into a powerful onboard computer (often multiple computers) that process all the data that the sensors are gathering. The internal computer will have access to a database of maps and other relevant information. For example, engineers may pre-drive a route and pre-catalog all signs, road markings, curbs, crosswalks, traffic lights, etc. that the self-driving car will encounter along the road. This way, the car knows what to expect and can plan accordingly. Finally, the onboard computer may also be communicating by radio with bigger computers holding even more data.
Two recent announcements have made self-driving cars seem a lot closer to reality. The first comes from the Army, which is now using self-driving vehicles to guard a large military facility and nuclear waste dump in Nevada. And then there's Google, which recently announced that it has developed self-driving cars that have logged over 100,000 miles on real roads in real traffic.

Samsung Tablet PC Galaxy Tab technical details have been revealed
Samsung Tablet PC Galaxy Tab technical details have been revealed, but its pricing and release time is still not resolved the two key issues. U.S. network operator T-Mobile's unofficial blog Tmonews on Sunday revealed the details of this release tablet.
The Galaxy Tab, with its 7-inch display, but a smaller surface than the competition from Apple, but the memory SD card up to 64GB of expandable by.
This offers the Samsung all-rounder a 3.2-megapixel camera – the iPad users are still waiting in vain for this extra. Highlight: The video call feature with an additional 1.3-megapixel camera! Again, the iPad) do not keep up (.
About the Android smartphone operating system are all the apps as well as in normal available.
Great advantage of the Galaxy Tab also: the handy design. The Samsung Galaxy Tab is not much bigger than an outstretched hand, fits in any pocket. And with 380 grams almost half as light as the U.S. bestseller.
Even e-books look good on the tab from right, Bluetooth, music can be transferred. Important for users to the Internet and share the Samsung supports Flash – Apple’s archenemy.
O2 Galaxy tab from the end of October depending on the tariff rates from 99 EURO to 759 EURO one-time payment or for the offer.
These then are still costs for data volume and any flat rates. Early reports is Tablet PC on the market cost of at least 640 EURO.
Wal-Mart will selling Apple iPad tablet PC
Wal-Mart will sell Apple iPad tablet PC in hundreds of stores on October 15, and to expand sales outlets to over 2,300 stores in mid-November, the cheaper models start at 499 dollars. Integrated media reported on Oct. 13, Wal-Mart Stores Inc will begin selling Apple's iPad tablet on Oct. 15. Wal-Mart said the first time sale iPad tablet pcs in hundreds of stores, and then will be expanded to more than 2,300 sales outlets stores in mid-November.
A distribution deal with Walmart adds significantly to the iPad’s retail availability over the holidays: the device is now on sale via Amazon.com, and recently appeared at discount retailer target. The iPad has been on sale at electronics retailer Best Buy since its launch earlier this year.
Walmart is known for bringing products to customers at discounted prices, but it looks like its pricing on the iPad is going to match pricing available from Apple and it’s other retail partners: the Wi-Fi, 16 GB model will be available for $499. So far, only Target has been able to set up a discount, with owners of Target credit cards being able to get a 5 percent discount on an iPad. Walmart will be offering the iPad through its site-to-store service, however, which offers free shipping of online orders sent to a local Walmart store for pickup.
Apple’s ability to move the iPad into major retail channels this holiday season may be key to the device maintaining its lead current in the tablet computing arena. A slew of Android tablets—debatably led by the Samsung Galaxy Tab —are getting ready to land at retailers.
google automatic car
Google announced the company apart in the normal business operations, is also developing the technology allows automatic driving vehicle. The company said in a blog, using this technology can reduce by half the number of deaths due to traffic accidents worldwide each year about 60 million lives saved. At the same time Google also hopes to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

Windows Phone 7 is the last hope of Microsoft in the smartphone market
Many people say that Windows Phone 7 is the last hope of Microsoft in the smartphone market, indeed, it is vital time for Microsoft. Although the smart phone market is fiercely competitive, but Microsoft is no other choice. Microsoft's main concern is their own economic interests, but also those who like HTC, ihkc that old cell phone manufacturers also want to see other companies compete with each other. So what kind of advantages of Microsoft's new mobile operating system Windows Phone 7 in the end?
The world's largest software company is hoping that the new phones, from handset makers Samsung, LG, HTC and Dell, will propel it back into the mobile market, which many see as the key to the future of computing, reports the Daily Mail.
The new phones, initially available on the T-Mobile network in Britain and on AT&T in the US, are much closer in look and feel to Apple's iPhone , with colourful touch-screens and 'tiles' for easy access to email, the Web, music and other applications.
Ballmer, who has admitted that his company 'missed a generation' with its recent unpopular phone offerings, said the new phones would eventually be available from 60 mobile operators in 30 countries.
Meanwhile, at a simultaneous launch event at London's Institute Of Contemporary Arts (ICA), Microsoft announced that WP7 will be coming on the Dell Venue Pro by Christmas.
Dell's Venue Pro will join five other WP7 handsets - three from HTC and one each from LG and Samsung - in the British market in the coming months.
In the US, the first phone from AT&T, priced at $200, will be available Nov 8.
Six Windows Phone 7 handsets will be released in Britain in the coming months, including three from HTC and the Dell Venue Pro, which is the only model to come with a slide-out keyboard
Microsoft has a market share of only five percent in the global smartphone market, according to research firm Gartner, compared with nine percent a year ago.

$35 laptop with touchscreens of 5 inches, 7 inches, and 9 inches
India's Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal said the Linux based computing device was expected to be introduced to higher education institutions from 2011 but the aim was to drop the price further to $20 and ultimately to $10.
Three models are planned, with touchscreens of 5 inches, 7 inches, and 9 inches. They will have full WiFi, a USB port, and 2GB of onboard storage, which is pretty reasonable for the price. Full internet browsing, with the ability to play Youtube videos, is also promised.
While Indian university students—particularly ones in engineering—have access to advanced computers in campus tech labs, few students have their own personal computers. The Indian government’s initiative hopes to change this with a tablet that impresses with its price—and its feature list. Some are logical choices—like —and others are actually somewhat surprising.
"The solutions for tomorrow will emerge from India.
Sibal said the government may subsidise 50 per cent of the price for students.
Mr. Sibal expressed that about over one-third of the 25,000 colleges and universities across the country are now connected to the broadband connection and various online and video-streaming courses are now available for students with many more are being developed.
At the time of the initial announcement the Indian government had not yet found a manufacturer, leading some to fear that the estimated price was idle fancy. Now, however, it has teamed up with HCL Technologies, a date is set and the price is as it was first advertised, with the possibility of it being lowered to as little as $10 if competition allows.

Microsoft sued Motorola's Android mobile phone violated nine patents
Is intensifying competition in the mobile phone industry, all kinds of patent cross-use and increasingly fierce market competition, so that all companies are tightening the string. Microsoft sued Motorola's Android mobile phone violated nine patents.
Horacio Gutierrez, Corporate Vice President and Deputy General Counsel for Microsoft, explains in a blog post, "The Microsoft innovations at issue in this case help make smartphones "smart." Indeed, our patents relate to key features that users have come to expect from every smartphone."
Motorola's Android smartphones are at the heart of a patent battle with Microsoft.Gutierrez continues, "That Microsoft has important patents in this area should not surprise anyone - we've spent over 30 years developing cutting-edge computer software," concluding with, "Our action today merely seeks to ensure respect for our intellectual property rights infringed by Android devices; and judging by the recent actions by Apple and Oracle, we are not alone in this respect."
Al Hilwa, Program Director of Applications Development Software for IDC said, "Patents are the way of tech today, whether we like it or not. Companies regularly engage in licensing discussions and deals with their partners and competitors, who are often the same. These lawsuits come up when there is a breakdown in the discussions."
The question is "What does Microsoft really want?"
Hilwa offers up one theory. "Android was a great gift to the industry, but lawsuits like this are beginning to throw doubts on its provenance. Microsoft is of course launching Windows Phone 7 for which it charges handset makers some dollars. The lawsuits around Android make the point that device licenses for the technology stack may be viewed as inexpensive when measured against the legal fees that might be incurred."
Admittedly, organizations have a right to defend intellectual property, and competitors should either engineer solutions on their own, or at least negotiate a licensing arrangement for patented concepts. That said, there doesn't seem to be a winner in these cases. Most of them fade to obscurity before the two parties eventually reach some sort of cross-licensing settlement. The time and money tied up in legal wrangling eventually trickles down to the cost of technology. The money has to be recovered somehow.

The cheapest laptop for only $ 35
July 23 Indian researchers have demonstrated a price of only $ 35 of the "world's cheapest laptop." It is reported that this touch screen computer with potential customers for the students, the computer system built Linux-based word processor, Web browser, PDF reader and video conferencing capabilities, and can continue to expand as needed.

John Doerr was an early supporter of Google and Amazon
Just ask brothers Doerr - John Doerr, a famous venture capitalist who was an early supporter of Google and Amazon, and Dr. Tom Doerr, a physician and software developer.
Mr. Doerr founded a software company in 1999, starting with the product of electronic destination, and then add the electronic medical record allows. His brother is the largest investor. After more than ten years, the company has fewer than 500 doctors to use their software.
Experience, Mr. Doerr said, "Long, Slow March." Mr. Doerr and admitted: "It was much harder, a company that is autonomous, as I imagine."
But all of Obama's stimulus package includes an extensive program to promote the market for electronic medical records to buy billions of dollars in bonuses and use of digital health records - and, possibly, penalties for failure to make.
The company's software Doerr is one of many used in the hope that the national objective for the digital medical data. The company giants like General Electric, to professionals such as athenahealth practices that meet the doctors enough.
They, like Doerr betting that law will contribute to a turning point for the digital economy, medical records, paving the way for rapid adoption of doctors and a thriving business at the end.
Brothers and rates that can Internet technologies and Apple IPad use of electronic documents much easier and cheaper. Last week they showed a new product, a flexible, allowing doctors to patient information, by managing their data centers iPads software company Derr, clear management practices.
Doerr has launched aging is unusual because it is designed to achieve on health care go beyond technology. The lessons he learned along the way are a microcosm of the problem of this technology in health care.
The abuse of financial incentives, the organization bought a Medicare Advantage health maintenance Derr, Health gasoline in 2007 and moved to pay doctors to help patients make healthy. It currently covers 50.000 people in six states.
They also built a medical software company for analysis, the following procedures and consequences for the taxpayer, so that the results, not just to control costs. The software mines data of hospitals and doctors make more informed decisions about treatment.
Your target market of physicians in small businesses with 10 or fewer doctors - where digital files are used less. More than 70 percent of doctors in the country in such practices is not enough.
Derr "All three companies are at the essence, a suburb of St. Louis, grew up not far from his brothers. Mr. Doerr, 53, is a founding member and director of clinical strategy essence, and Mr. Doerr, 59, is a major shareholder.
Even if a small private company, took fuel attention to some experts. Intrigued, Dr. Denis A. Cortese, the former CEO of Mayo Clinic and a professor at Arizona State University, the Executive Council two months ago, gasoline. He tries, a small physician practice, "he said, such as health care defended Mayo.
"These guys may or may not succeed, but they have good ideas," said Cortez.
Goal, Mr. Doerr said, is to provide better care and reduce costs by several large groups of health care has made, not being one. Gasoline, he said, trying to combine technology and cooperative relationship between doctors and insurers, and financial incentives for creating virtual equivalent of "an integrated system.
The goal, of course, to make money. Gasoline, but do not look like a winner in the near future. It has 330 employees and annual sales of more than $ 450 million, but the vast majority of revenue comes from health insurance, as regulated by the modest results.
When Doerr company will be a vein, one day it will come from software, the company can grow quickly and profitably, if they are successful. For its new proposal, working closely with Apple clearly flexible practices, service specifically for IPAD.
Using the slick, doctors could not more computers in the office, as most of the software and information for patients on remote computers in data centers is clear in practice. IPad doctor connects patients, data and software, wireless Internet, as a computer "cloud", as this model is rapidly increasing knowledge.
Doctors pay a membership fee for not more than $ 499 a month if they choose to clear all offers practice - electronic destination, electronic patient records and billing.
"With the right software, cloud computing to include IPAD health," said Doerr.
