Apple TV 4K television set

Posted on by techgripnews

the Apple TV — is ready for the future. By adding support for 4K content, offering super-high definition quality for shows and films.

It’s a 4K-ready version of the existing Apple TV, a hockey puck-sized box that plugs in-to your TV, allowing you to access any movie/shows you have bought through iTunes or through other streaming apps like Netflix etc. Apple is also adding Amazon Video.

4K content looks great, on a 4K television set. The picture is detailed, with notable added depth and clarity thanks to the HDR (high-dynamic range) technology Apple has also put into 4K.

The Apple TV app, one of the default apps included on iPhones & iPads, also syncs with the Apple TV 4K so that you can pick up a show on your mobile device at the same point where you stopped watching it on your television.

A Mexican Janitor Accidentally Invented Flamin’ Hot Cheetos And This Is His Life

Posted on by techgripnews

Behind every bag of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos is the rags to riches story of an immigrant manwho worked as a factory janitor and became a top-level executive after coming up with an incredibly genius idea.

 
 

Richard Montanez, a Mexican native, began working at the Frito-Lay Rancho Cucamonga plant in California as a janitor in 1976. Today, he is the executive leading multicultural sales and community promotions across PepsiCo’s North American divisions.flamin-hot-cheetos

Montanez grew up in the small town of Gausti near Ontario, California, where he helped support his family by picking grapes in vineyards and ate meals at a communal table that was shared among six or seven other families. He lived modestly and didn’t want for much as a child. Many of the kids he knew hoped to land a job at the town’s factory. Montanez recalled to Fox News:

 
“No one ever taught me what was on the other side of the tracks. No disrespect to anyone, but my dream was to drive the trash truck.”
 
 As a student, Montanez struggled with learning English and dropped out of high school as he couldn’t understand his teachers. Soon after, he got a job as a janitor at the Frito-Lay factory in Rancho Cucamonga, California. His life changed after Montanez heard a video message sent out by the president of the company. In the message, the president told his employees to act like an owner 

“I looked around and didn’t see a lot of reaction from my co-workers, but for me it was the opportunity to do something different.”

As fate would have it, one of the assembly line machines broke one day leaving some Cheetos without their iconic bright orange cheese dust. Richard brought some home with him and had the idea to coat them with chili powder. His recipe for spicy Cheetos was inspired by a popular Mexican street food called elote. He recalled:

 
 “I see the corn man adding butter, cheese and chili to the corn and thought, what if I add chili to a Cheeto?”
 

His friends and family loved his hot Cheetos and urged Montanez to share his creation with the plant supervisors. After talking the secretary into putting his call through, the president agreed to give him a shot at pitching his new product idea

“I had two weeks to prepare a presentation for the company executives. 

“I’m a little bit of an artist so I even designed the bags and put the Cheetos in it.”
  

He and his wife made a trip to the public library and borrowed a book on business strategies. Montanez purchased his first-ever tie for $3 and went in to sell his hot Cheetos to the company executives. His idea of Flamin’ Hot Cheetos became Frito-Lay’s top-selling product.

Today he is an executive of the company he once worked as a janitor for and spearheads the Frito-Lay Hispanic marketing team. His work has influenced other Hispanic products and marketing promotions for giants including Taco Bell and KFC. Montanez believes his courage to seize opportunities stems from his humble beginnings.
