Fortune ranks Indra Nooyi 3rd most powerful woman in business world.
IBM Chairman and CEO Ginni Rometty is on TOP of the list. :)

Making a huge jump in the rankings is General Motors CEO Mary Barra, who is ranked second this year up from the 29th position last year.

Topping the list for the third time is Rometty, whose strategy of investing in new technologies is showing results.

Rometty has also signed strategic partnerships, such as a deal with Apple to provide IBM's services on the iOS platform.

Rometty has also pledged to invest USD 1 billion in the development and commercialization of the cognitive computing system, another future growth area for the company. 

Interestingly, the newly released Apple's watch is named as "Apple Watch" rather than the using its usual  "i" as used in its previous tech products.

As mentioned in one of the articles of entrepreneur.com , the "i" sub-brand naming convention has been around for almost 20 years and includes countless extensions, including: iMac, iLife (includes iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, and iWeb), iTunes, iPod, iPhone, iPad, iCloud, iOS, iWork and iBooks.

It’s possible that Apple wanted to call its payment system iWallet instead of Apple Pay, but as it turns out there’s already another company out there called iWallet – a biometric locking wallet that “protects your cash, credit cards, and personal information with cutting edge technology.”

If Apple had gone with iWatch, it probably wouldn’t have had any problems with search engine suggestions, but then again, it’s entirely possible that Google’s search algorithm might have asked “Did you mean iSwatch?” when people went searching for their new, beloved iWatch.

These are just the possibilities that the Apple Officials might have gone through.
As by looking on the products of Google, we can see the word of "Google" in almost all its products like Google Ad-words, Google Maps, Google Images... etc. This might have inspired Apple to include the company's word in its next tech products.

Well, these all are our thinking. Now, let us have a look over this recently launched Apple Watch:






 Look and screen:
The screen is bright and crisp, and looked at from the kind of glancing angles you’d expect to look at a watch screen from – edge-on while riding a bike or balancing in a crowded train – words and pictures remained nicely readable.

Revolutionary advancements:
As with the iPhone, the Apple Watch has a hulking great advantage in the apps department, something that was obvious from its unveling: where Google tends to talk about the amazing potential of Android Wear, Apple talks about big brands that are already signed up and making apps for its platform – apps to find your car, let you into your hotel room, control your smart heating or track and share your exercise, not to mention shopping with Apple Pay.

IBM has built a computer chip called the Neurosynaptic System. It contains 5.4 billion transistors and uses just 70 milliwatts of power (1/10,000th the power of most microprocessors)

- With a total of 5.4 billion transistors the computer chip, named TrueNorth, is one of the largest CMOS chips ever built.

- IBM envisions its new chips working together with traditional computing devices as hybrid machine providing an added dose of brain-like intelligence for smart car sensors, cloud computing applications or mobile devices such as smartphones.



- Yet the chip uses just 70 milliwatts while running and has a power density of 20 milliwatts per square centimeter— almost 1/10,000th the power of most modern microprocessors. That brings the new chip's efficiency much closer to the human brain’s astounding power consumption of just 20 watts, or less than the average incandescent light bulb.
