Laurene Powell Jobs invests in studio behind ‘Mr. Robot’ and ‘Spotlight’

Mr. Robot (USA Network)

Philanthropist and Silicon Valley investor Laurene Powell Jobs is entering into Hollywood with an investment into Anonymous Content, the studio behind movies such as Spotlight and TV shows like Mr. Robot. The widow of Steve Jobs is investing via her Emerson Collective fund. The two sides won’t disclose the size of the deal but it is said to be a “substantial minority investment.” Powell Jobs said in a press release that she’s interested in “expanding the firm’s efforts in producing socially relevant content aimed at inspiring change.” She is considered one of the wealthiest women in the world with her net worth pegged by Forbes at US$17.6 billion, which is derived from large stakes in Apple and Disney.

Apple launches OS X 10.10 Yosemite

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

San Francisco, CA: The latest version of the Mac OS X desktop and notebook operating system was revealed today at WWDC 2014. Codemaned Yosemite, the newest os features a revamped look and feel as well as various new features including an improved Spotlight Search, Notification Center with a day-view as well as the introduction of iCloud Drive which is a better integration of Applr's cloud backup and sharing platform. Mail has also received an upgrade by using a new technology called Mail Drop for large files and attachments of up to 5GB in size. Yosemite also improves on Safari, Apple's native browser, by making it more streamlined and less obtrusive. Safari is also faster and better for rendering HD video from sources such as Netflix

The AirDrop feature is now cross platform between iOS and Macs. A new continuity feature allows users to start a project on a Mac and then seamlessly continue this on the OS X machines. Phone integration on Mac OS X is even more seamless, text messages and phone calls can be routed to the desktop even if the user's iPhone isn't tethered to the Macs.

Yosemite is available to developers starting today but it will be released to the public in the Fall and it will be a free upgrade for current Mavericks users.
