Getting your recommended daily servings of fruits and vegetables can seem like a chore, but once you know these facts about what you’re munching, you’ll have something to talk about as you’re passing the kale. <div>

1. Tomatoes are technically a fruit, but they are legally defined as a vegetable in the U.S. The 1893 Supreme Court decision Nix vs. Hedden ruled that since tomatoes were typically used in savory dishes they could be taxed as vegetables rather than fruits, and they’ve been legally recognized as a vegetable ever since. <br /><br /><br />2. In strictly botanical terms, strawberries and raspberries are not actual berries, but bananas and avocados technically are. <br /><br /><br />3. Swiss chard isn’t native to Switzerland—it originally grew near the Mediterranean. It was named by a Swiss botanist in a clever bit of branding. <br /><br /><br />4. The durian, a fruit widely available in Asia, has legions of fans despite being awfully stinky—it smells of rotting meat. The stench is so bad that the fruit has been banned on Singapore’s public train systems. <br /><br /><br />5. There actually was a Granny Smith. Maria Ann Sherwood Smith, an English émigré to Australia, allegedly found the shiny green apples that would eventually bear her name in her orchard beside a creek bed during the 1860s. They were apparently a mutation of a French crab apple. <br /><br /><br />6. Potatoes weren’t grown in Idaho until 1836. They were introduced there by missionaries moving west. <br /><br /><br />7. The ugli fruit, or Jamaican tangelo, is actually a hybrid of a grapefruit, orange, and tangerine. It gained its unseemly name because its creators thought it looked unpalatable when ripe. <br /><br /><br />8. The Black Sapote, a fruit indigenous to Mexico and Central America, tastes like chocolate pudding when ripe. You’ll know when to partake in the faux-chocolatey goodness when the hard green outer skin of the fruit turns black. <br /><br /><br />9. Besides having an acidic taste similar to grapes, the rambutan—which originated in Southeast Asia—is also an ingredient commonly used in soap products. <br /><br /><br />10. The molecular makeup of two sugars in beans, called raffinose and stachyose, are too complex for our bodies to break down entirely. The bacteria found in our large intestines break them down into hydrogen and methane, which explains beans’ infamous reputation. <br /><br /><br />11. Apples, pears, peaches, and plums, among others, are all members of the rose family. <br /><br /><br />12. Fruits and vegetables aren’t always a bargain. A 17-pound black Densuke watermelon—a rare melon grown only on the island of Hokkaido in Japan—sold at auction for roughly $6100. <br /><br /><br />13. Dishes containing spinach are known as “Florentine” because Florence native (and later Queen of France) Catherine de’ Medici famously enjoyed munching the healthy leaves. <br /><br /><br />14. Speaking of spinach, it’s not as loaded with iron as you might think. A German scientist misplaced a decimal point in his research on spinach’s iron content in 1870, and it took 70 years or so for anyone to notice the mistake. Whoops! <br /><br /><br />15. Despite the popularity of perennial favorites like apples and oranges, the most widely consumed fruit in the world is the mango. <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"><img src="https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-sa/4.0/88x31.png" /></a><br /><br />This work by <a href="https://www.blogger.com/factbunny.com">Fact Bunny</a> is licensed under a <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License</a>.<br /><br />Based on a work at <a href="http://goo.gl/aPiFgY">http://goo.gl/aPiFgY</a>.</div>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">

<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em;">
<h3 style="text-align: left;">

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<strong>5. Wear and tear</strong></h3>
FIFA 15 also benefits from persistent damage to the pitch, with the playing surface getting more worn over the 90 minutes. Particularly noticeable in rain, the pitch will start to show boot marks and gouges from slide tackles. The increased detail also extends to shaking corner flags and goal frames - adding an extra later of realism.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em;">
<h3 style="text-align: left;">

Players like Messi seem to dribble with the ball stuck to their feet, and FIFA 15 makes it easier to do. Run Touch Dribbling means it’s easier to control the ball at slow speed, with more precise, accurate control when sprinting.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em;">
<h3 style="text-align: left;">

<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em;">
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<strong>8. Improved ball physics</strong></h3>
EA Sports has revisited the physics of the ball, making it more reliable and realistic than ever. In FIFA 15, each touch of the ball will affect its trajectory, and the game will even take into account how and where the ball was touched. As a result, the ball features more accurate, spin, curl and movement, so it acts more like you’d expect it to.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em;">
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<strong>9. Clever goalkeepers</strong></h3>
FIFA 15 features the most advanced goalkeepers yet. Better AI means that your number one will assess the situation before coming out of his box, and react intelligently depending on the threat.

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<strong>12. Better set pieces</strong></h3>

<div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em; line-height: 1.48em; padding: 0px 0px 0.7em;">
<h3 style="text-align: left;">

<h3 style="text-align: left;">

We are bring to you how Apple and Steve Jobs invented this totally new product through 2001 to 2007. For this new report we pull out instances and events from the biography of Steve Jobs written by Walter Issacson.</div>

The threat to existing products led to the idea of a New Iphone</h3>

In 1997 Apple went ahead with the big product strategy session, where Steve Jobs thought about consumer and Pro devices- that is desktop and portable devices. He thought of iPods, MacBooks by iPhones were still not conceived.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">

In 2005 there was no threat to sale of iPods, they were expected to  be skyrocketing. But Jobs was worried much before 2005, about the cell phones that could “eat” Apple’s launch.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">

He explained to the Apple board that the digital camera market was being decimating now that phones are equipped with cameras. The same could happen to the iPod, if manufacturers started to built music players into them.</div>

A failed attempt when Apple was asked “You call this the phone of the future?”</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
In 2004/2005 Jobs was talking to the new Motorola CEO Ed Zander about “making a companion to the RAZR” popular phone from Motorola. The idea was to pack a camera and iPod into one device. Thus, ROKR phones were launched in 2005.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">

Wired asked “You call this the phone of the future?” in its November 2005 cover.</div>

Result – Jobs was furious as he said “I’m sick of dealing with these stupid companies like Motorola”. Later at a review meeting he announced “Let’s do it ourselves”. This was the beginning the conception of a newIphone.</div>

Jobs called phones (the then existing phones) ‘Brain-Dead’ and started planning about a phone they (the team at Apple) would themselves want to use.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">

The first thing they did was to modify the iPod. They tried to use the trackwheel of the iPod to dial numbers and perform tasks. But input part was “cumbersome” said Tony Fadell who was in the team.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">

At this time in 2002 to 2005 Apple was also trying to make new and secret device called a tablet, an iPad. The ideas flowed in from the iPad development and helped shape the Iphone.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">

This was the time when Microsoft was also making a tablet PC software for a device with stylus, and Jobs realized that Apple has a competitor in tablet segment. But Jobs was furious as he thought the device with a stylus was all wrong” [Jobs came to know about the device when he met the person making software forMicrosoft in a dinner party in 2002]</div>

Jony Ive (Jonathan Ive) was working with team to make multi-touch touch-sensitive display for Appledevices. He did not discuss the plans of integrating the multi-touch technology for computer screens with Jobs because “Steve is so quick to give an opinion, I don’t show his stuff in front of other people”.</div>

A company called FingerWorks based in Delaware was making touch-sensitive products (tablets) and trackpads at that time. His company has figured out using finger gestures like pinches, swipe on a display and translating them into actions.</div>

“Apple was very interested in it. They wanted to use it for their trackpad on their Macs. Once they accepted they were going to use it, [our technology] got lots of visibility inside of Apple. They realized that was what they wanted for the iPhone. It turned from a licensing deal to an acquisition deal pretty quickly. The whole process took about eight months” a report in Technical.ly said in 2005 January.</div>

When the team was working on the new phone was thinking about how to prevent the phone from making calls or playing songs accidently. Jobs was “averse” to on/off switches and hence the idea of “swipe to open” figured in as an on-screen slider</div>

Apple used plastic sheets on the display in the iPods. But Jobs wanted it to be a glass display as this would look more “elegant and substantive”.</div>

Apple started looking or partners in Asia. He talked about this to his friend John Seeley Brown who was on the board of Corning Glass in Upstate New York and requested to talk to Wendell Weeks, CEO of Corning Glass.

When Jobs met Weeks he explained what he wanted for the Iphone. Weeks explained that Corning developed the chemical exchange process for such a glass called “Gorilla Glass” in 1960, which never came into the market as there were no takers.</div>

After a detailed lecture in chemistry Jobs told Weeks that he wanted as much Gorilla Glass as Corning could produce in 6 months. Since Corning was not producing Gorilla Glass, Weeks informed they “Don’t have the capacity”.</div>

Jobs motivated him and said “Get your mind around it, you can do it.” Weeks came back and he diverterd all the best resources for this Apple project. In six months time Corning actually started manufacturing and supplying Gorilla Glass.</div>

After a major part of the iPhone making (with a glass screen set into an aluminium case) was done, one day Jobs went to Jony Ive and said “I realized that I just don’t love it”. Ive agreed.</div>

The new design had thin bezel that extended the Gorilla Glass for an edge-to-edge look in full glory. For this they re-did the antenna, circuit board and all other parts.</div>

This design matched Jobs idea of perfectionism and control, that is the back case will not open, making the battery replaceable by Apple only. Not having a replaceable battery made the New Iphone thinner.</div>

Jobs, as he always did was ready to grant a sneek preview of the new Iphone to a magazine. He called John Huey and told him that he wanted to give the preview of iPhone to TIME Inc. But “there’s nobody smart enough at Time to write it, so I’m going to give it to someone else,” Jobs said to Huey.</div>

“Today we are introducing three revolutionary products in this class. The first one is a widescreen iPod with touch controls. The second is a revolutionary mobile phone. And the third one is a breakthrough Internet communications device”.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">

He said “these are not three separate device, this is one device and we are calling it iPhone.”</div>

The phone went on sale on June 29 that year. This was included in the best inventions of the year by Time that year. It was dubbed “the Jesus phone” by many bloggers.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">

Jobs announced that all full-time Apple employees and those part-time employees that have been with the company at least one year would receive a free iPhone. Employees received their phones in July after the initial demand subsided</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">

<b style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">What the “i” in the Apple products like iPhone stands for?</b></div>

According to Jobs, the “i” was used to emphasize that the devices would be seamlessly integrated with the Internet.</div>

Fact #13</span></h2>

<br /></div>
<div style="border: 0px none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
And then there was Android</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">

In January 2010 in a townhall meeting (meeting where all the employees of a company meet) instead of talking about new products Jobs talked about Android operating system.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
</div>

He was furious that Google wanted to enter the phone business. “We did not enter search business,” Jobs said. “Make no mistake. They want to kill Iphone”, he announced at he meeting as he predicted that Android would go forward and dominate the world Smartphone business.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">

His fear was genuine as Google CEO Eric Schmidt was on Apple boar when iPhone and iPad was being developed and Larry Page and Sergey Brin treated him as mentor. Jobs felt betrayed and in 2008 he went to Palo Alto campus of Google to meet Google’s team. He asked them not to use Apple iPhone like feature in Android phone and threatened to sue.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">

In 2010 HTC launched an Android phone that showed off iPhone like features. Apple sued HTC for infringing on 20 patents. The week the lawsuit was filed Jobs declared a thermonuclear war against Android and said “I’m going to destroy Android, because it’s a stolen product.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Trebuchet MS'; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">

The fight continues even today. At the launch of the iOS 8 this year, 2014  Tim Cook, Apple CEO mocked Android saying it dominates ‘mobile malware market’, Apple’. It is easy to understand that the Cupertino company will aim to de-rail the hold of Android in the Smartphone market.</div>
