When Steve Jobs visited Moscow as he was 'looking for something to do', making a trip that made it to FBI files
Apple founder Steve Jobs reportedly made a trip to Moscow. When? In 1985, when Moscow was part of Soviet Union and shortly after reformist leader Mikhail Gorbachev's rise to power. According to a report in Cult of Mac, in a trip to the Soviet Union in 1985, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs aimed to bring Macintosh computers to Russia. The two-day visit saw Jobs lecturing computer science students, attending a Fourth of July party at the American embassy, and discussing the possibility of establishing a Mac factory in Russia. The trip came at a tumultuous time for Steve Jobs, who had been sidelined at Apple after a power struggle with CEO John Sculley. Seeking purpose, Jobs embarked on an overseas journey that included stops in Paris, Italy, and Moscow. In Paris, he met future U.S. President George H.W. Bush, discussing how Macs could spark a 'revolution from below' in the Soviet Union, where the less-powerful Apple II had recently launched. However, Jobs' visit wasn't without controversy. According to Walter Isaacson's 2011 biography, Jobs nearly clashed with the KGB by praising exiled Bolshevik leader Leon Trotsky, deemed an 'enemy of the people' by the Soviet regime. Cult of Mac cites Isaacson, noting that a KGB agent warned Jobs against discussing Trotsky, saying, 'Our historians have studied the situation, and we don't believe he's a great man anymore.' Undeterred, Jobs reportedly began a speech to Moscow computer students by lauding Trotsky, though a partial transcript of the speech omits this detail. Intriguingly, Jobs suspected the attorney organizing his trip might have ties to the CIA or KGB, a detail noted in his FBI file, which also mentioned his meeting with a Russian Academy of Sciences professor to explore marketing Apple products. Despite these, the trip reportedly yielded no Russian Apple division, aligning with what Cult of Mac describes as 'busy work' to keep Jobs away from Apple's management. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Glicemia acima de 130?

Apple VP Al Eisenstat, staying at the same Moscow hotel, received a floppy disk from a nervous programmer containing advanced handwriting-recognition software. The report adds that members of the Apple Newton team later confirmed this code became the foundation for the Newton MessagePad's handwriting recognition feature. Though Jobs' Soviet venture didn't revolutionize Russia's tech landscape, it remains a fascinating chapter in his storied career, blending ambition, intrigue and unexpected technological gains.

Policy thrust to grow manufacturing futile sans enhanced skills
As Apple Chief Tim Cook noted earlier, more than the cost advantage, the skill and expertise of Chinese assembly workers is something that cannot be found elsewhere. It means, in the absence of skilled talent that is found in abundance in the services sector, India woefully falls short in manufacturing. So it can only offer a cost advantage, which can also be found in, say, Vietnam or Indonesia. If China clamps down on the outflow of talent, technology and materials, India's manufacturing growth story will slow down. While building production lines is one aspect, the availability of talent is equally crucial. There is an urgent need for India to train workforces and develop the skill sets needed for high-end manufacturing. Besides, it is important to build supply chains and encourage domestic component makers for manufacturing to flourish. Though the government made some humble attempts through the Make in India initiative and Production-Linked Incentive scheme, they are evidently not enough to catch up with China. Manufacturing is integral to growth and has the potential to not only create jobs, but also boost exports beyond $1 trillion by 2030, according to some estimates. But despite efforts such as Make in India and PLI, the manufacturing sector's share of the GDP has been stagnant at about 14-17 percent for a decade now. We need coordinated efforts by both the government and industry to raise the share closer to the government's stated target of 25 percent. That's when India can truly shift away from being an import-dependent economy to a global production hub.

Chinese Sales Of Foreign Phone Makers, Including Apple, Drop 9.7% In May
Beijing: Sales of foreign-branded mobile phones in China, including those of Apple Inc, fell 9.7% year-on-year in May, according to data released by a government-affiliated research company on Friday. Calculations based on the data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) showed that May shipments of foreign-branded phones in China fell to 4.54 million handsets from the same month last year. As the largest foreign mobile phone maker in China's smartphone-dominated market, Apple's performance plays a significant role in the overall data on foreign-branded phone sales in the country. Apple has faced increased competition from domestic rivals and has cut prices to stay competitive. Chinese e-commerce platforms offered discounts of up to 2,530 yuan ($351) on Apple's latest iPhone 16 models in May. The CAICT data did not give specific figures for Apple. Shipments of phones within China were down 21.8% year-on-year to 23.72 million handsets for the month, the data showed.
