Steve Jobs's old office at Apple has remained almost completely untouched since his death three years ago. Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed in an interview with Fast Company published on Wednesday that he and his team have left it "exactly like it was" before he died.The Apple co-founder passed away from cancer in October 2011, and his successor decided to keep his office as a form of memorial. According to Cook, there are even drawings on the whiteboard that Jobs's children drew.Jobs remains a huge cult figure in the tech world. When he died, Samsung and Google postponed their big announcements out of respect.Cook explains to Fast Company that at first he didn't want to go into the office at all and says it "was all too much." Now, he still doesn't go in very much, he adds, but gets "appreciation" when he does. The pair had a great friendship, and Cook even offered his mentor part of his own liver to try and save Jobs's life.Ultimately, what happens to the room is down to Cook and Jobs's wife. Cook tells Fast Company that "I still haven't decided about what we'll do there," and adds that he feels his predecessor is an "irreplaceable person" so it wouldn't be right to move into the space himself.It doesn't look like it's going to change any time soon. Cook sums it all up pretty well: "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."
New bionic eye to help visually impaired
A new bionic eye being developed at Monash University will help thousand of blind people to see light and shapes for the first time.
World-first wireless technology and a computer processor, implanted in the brain, helps the blind to determine shapes through a series of mapping dots after they wear a pair of sunglasses, News.com.au reported.
The gadget takes information from a glasses-mounted camera and sends it, via a wireless transmitter, to the brain.
This vision takes the form of basic shapes made of light - similar to looking at a line of stars.
Bluesky Design Group director Professor Mark Armstrong, who was earlier involved in the designing the Nexus 5 Cochlear Implant for the deaf, said that they hoped to do first human trial by mid next year.
Armstrong asserted that the new technique will allow the blind to see edges of tables and footpath in a coarse, dot-type matrix, which will be enough to give them mobility.
The implant - about the size of a fingernail - has a similar processing power to a smartphone
