Apple is building a car

The Guardian revealed last week that Apple is looking for a secure vehicle test track facility near SiliconValley. Therefore confirming the rumours that Apple is working on building a self-driving car. However, an article in The Verge warns Apple fans not to hold their breath. The development cycl e time from concept to production, for established car manufacturers, is in excess of 5 years. Apple has no experience in this market and consequently may be expected to take longer. Of course this may be like Apple Maps where Apple belatedly realised they strategically couldnt gift location support to Google and their established mapping product. Google, of course, has been developing driverless cars for ages. Apple has perhaps realised it cant leave this market segment to Google or risk just partnering with one car manufacturer.

Alan Turing infographic

Steve Ollington and the Manchester Jurys Inn,  have created an online infographic thats a mini-tutorial on Turings life and work. Steve write, the Jurys Inn: "...recognise his [Alan Turings] importance as key figure in British History and a national treasure, and they liked the thought of providing a memorial that would engage, teach and honour a great figure, especially one who is such a local hero."
   Their infographic succinctly (and attractively) sums up many of the key points of Turings story and is a great point of access for those who are just learning about the man and his place in history. Its reproduced below, and you can visit it on the Jurys Inn site here. [This was brought to my attention by the Turing Centenary blog]
