“Apple 1” the first prototype computer, is worth more than 500 000$

An old computer, probably the first ‘Apple’ computer , now is in sale, and it could be worth more than half a million dollars, just for the fact that it was designed by two college dropouts named Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.

An ‘apple 1’ dates since 1976, and is the basic pc ever built, not even close of today’s modern technology products, but still is maybe the most expensive ‘apple’ product, with a pre-same estimated value of up to 500 000$.

Vintage Apple products have become especially hot items since Jobs’ death in October 2011, surrounding the mystique attached to this entrepreneur who joined forces with Wozniak to build computer prototypes in a California garage. Another Apple 1 was sold last month for a record $671,400 by a German auction house, breaking a previous record of $640,000 set in November. Sotheby’s sold one last year for $374,500.
 

“This is the seed from which the entire orchard grew, and without this, there would be no Apple,” said Stephen A. Edwards, professor of computer science at Columbia University. “I’ve been shocked auction prices got into the six digits. The market has just gone crazy.” The latest auction at Christie’s, “First Bytes: Iconic Technology from the Twentieth Century,” is being conducted online only from June 24 to July 9. The Apple 1 is to be displayed starting Monday at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, west of San Francisco.

Ps4 is ready to be launched!

November 13^th. This is the date when Sony’s PS4 is going to be launched for all video games lovers all over the world. The Sony’s staff promised to have it in gamers hands by for this ‘holiday season’.

After the release of successful video games such as:Battlefield4, Call of Duty: Ghosts and Assassin’s Creed etc, in the new version of PS are going to be included new games as well. 

Other news from Sony has included a video trailer detailing its new interface system. The advert shows how pressing the PlayStation logo in the centre of the console will allow players to switch in and out of live games to share clips, chat with friends, or download new titles.

What is also new in PS4 is that when downloading new games, players can pick between starting as a single player or multiplayer portion. And you can like and share via facebook your high scores.

This could put the PS4 launch date quite close to its closest competition, the Xbox One. The gaming guys over at IGN say the new Xbox will launch on or before November 5th, that’s just a week away for the PS4′s. That means most gamers will either have to spring for both or choose just one console to love on the opening week.

For all you that can’t wait till November 13^th , Sony company will publish more news closer to launch date.
