Dr. Sanjay Gupta may just have something that helps relieve the growing swell of politicized medical information.
The CNN chief medical correspondent has joined forces with Marc Hodosh, a technology entrepreneur to launch Life Itself, a new three-day conference the duo hope will generate attention for a lot of health and wellness issues they feel could take up more of the national conversation. CNN is a partner with the event and expects to show many of its sessions via its digital platforms, says Allie Kleva, CNN’s vice president of strategic partnerships and marketing. The conference is slated to take place in San Diego from September 28 to October 1.
“There is going to be a lot of real news that comes out of this,” says Gupta, in an interview. “We think there will probably be a lot of findings and revelations that are going to be newsworthy. You have health care...

Apple CEO Tim Cook saw his annual compensation fall 26% to $11.56 million for 2019, the tech giant reported Friday, in a year the company launched its foray into streaming with Apple TV+ and its valuation surpassed $1 trillion.
According to an SEC proxy filing this afternoon, Cook’s salary remained unchanged for a second year in a row at $3 million, with the biggest change year-over-year coming from a $4.3 million dip in Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation. All other major executive officers — Svp and CFO Luca Maestri, Svp and General Counsel and Secretary Kate Adams, and COO Jeff Williams — saw slight year-over-year dips in overall compensation to around $25 million each beyond their $1 million base salaries, mostly via stock awards.
Svp Retail + People Deirdre O’Brien received a total of $19.16M after she replaced the exiting Svp Retail Angela Ahrendts in April. Ahrendts received total compensation of $22.28M most coming from stock awards.

Silicon Valley, California (X17online) - Steve Jobs has resigned as CEO of Apple, the company announced Wednesday. As recommended by Jobs himself, Apple COO Tim Cook will replace the iconic techie as CEO. The news comes as little surprise in the tech world, as Jobs has been battling critical health issues for several years. Though no mention of health is made in his letter of resignation, Jobs hinted: "I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come." According to Apple board member Art Levinson, Jobs will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board and "serve Apple with his unique insights, creativity and inspiration."...

Although this isn’t strictly within the remit of this site (though we will be moving into more technology stuff soon enough) it is news that will affect the entertainments industry.
Steve Jobs, co-founder and CEO of Apple has resigned from the technology giant. Chief operating officer Tim Cook will replace him.
56 year old Jobs, who has survived a liver transplant following pancreatic cancer but health problems were always persistent forcing him to be on medical leave since January 17th this year, says he could no longer live up to his employee’s expectations and he now takes the title of ‘Chairman of Apple’.
Below is a statement that was released to the press late Wednesday the 24th of August:
I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know.

Steve Jobs , in addition to changing the way we see phone and mobile technology and general usability also had a place in the movie industry that some never knew about. He served as chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios and is Disney’s largest individual shareholder. So he’s kind of a big deal at Disney/Pixar.
But he has decided, amid ongoing health issues, to resign from being CEO at Apple. It’s not very surprising, but surely a blow to those of us who admire his work and the way his products have changed the industry (including the film industry).
Jobs recommended that Tim Cook, Apple’s COO, move into the CEO position, which we hear is likely. Here is the actual letter From Steve Jobs: [TechCrunch and /Film]

Steve Jobs has officially stepped down and resign as CEO of Apple. This man has changed the way we see technology, and it's sad to see him go, but we knew it was eventually going to come. I just hope that Apple will continue to thrive with innovation awesomeness now that he's gone.
Here's a letter from Jobs:

I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come.
I hereby resign as CEO of Apple. I would like to serve, if the Board sees fit, as Chairman of the Board, director and Apple employee.

[1] Steve Jobs has announced his resignation as CEO of Apple. This might not necessarily movie or television news per se, but Steve Jobs served as chief executive of Pixar Animation Studios, is Disney's largest individual shareholder (with approximately 7% of the shares) and became a member of the board of directors of The Walt Disney Company in 2006. Jobs also helps to oversee Disney and Pixar's combined animation businesses with a seat on "a special six-man steering committee." The products he has overseen have changed the way movies are made and seen. /Film would not be where it is right now without the products he has helped create, and the business and creative ideologies he has helped design. Reuters [2] is reporting that Jobs has already been named chairman, and that Tim Cook has already been elected CEO. Read Steve's public letter of resignation and the press release after the jump.

Google has abandoned its U.S. map-data provider, Tele-Atlas, in order to begin making its own maps. Earlier this month, Apple traveled a similar avenue, buying a small maps competitor called Placebase. Is all this movement towards in-house mapping because of bad blood, or is it business savvy?
The Google-Apple relationship has been framed as melodrama; some outlets have suggested that growing competition between the companies' smartphones and browsers is leading each to make preparations in case of a corporate breakup. Those rumors were sparked by Steve Jobs' explanation of the departure of Google CEO Eric Schmidt from the Apple board. "Unfortunately, as Google enters more of Apple's core businesses...Eric's effectiveness as an Apple Board member will be significantly diminished," Jobs said. And now Apple director Arthur Levinson just announced he's leaving Google's board.

Two months after Google CEO Eric Schmidt resigned from the Apple board to appease FTC regulators, Genentech chairman Arthur Levinson - who serves on both the Apple and the Google boards - followed suit yesterday and resigned from both boards. FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz praised the companies and Mr Levinson for the decision, as did various advocacy groups. The move highlights just how serious regulators have become in their efforts to prevent collusion and anticompetitive practices among technology giants.

Google said Monday that Arthur Levinson has resigned from its board, averting a potential showdown with government regulators over his overlapping job as a director for Apple.
The Federal Trade Commission had been investigating whether Levinson's double duty on the boards of both Google and Apple would lessen competition between the companies as they increasingly collide in the same markets.

Apple and Google may have more in common than the Federal Trade Commission would like.
The companies share two members of their board of directors, Eric Schmidt and Arthur Levinson. According to antitrust laws, the presence of a director on the boards of two rival companies could reduce competition between them, making for a violation of the rarely-enforced "interlocking directorates" provision of the law.
Google and Apple have only recently been considered competitors; the former produces the Android operating system for smartphones and the latter peddles the iPhone, and the two companies also have competing Web browsers. According to The New York Times, the FTC has notified both Apple and Google of their interest in the potential violation. (Below, the Googleplex.)
While the investigation is still in its incipience, it's the second potential anti-trust examination for Google this spring. That's not surprising, considering the recently-confirmed head of the Justice Department's anti-trust division,...
