These included updates to EtherTalk and TokenTalk, AppleTalk software and LocalTalk hardware for the IBM PC, EtherTalk for Apple's A / UX operating system allowing it to use LaserPrinters and other network resources, and the Mac X. 25 and MacX products.

One common replacement for LocalTalk was PhoneNet, a 3rd party solution ( from a company called Farallon, now called Netopia ) that also used the RS-422 port and was indistinguishable from LocalTalk as far as Apple's LocalTalk port drivers were concerned, but ran over the two unused wires in standard four-wire phone cabling.

It utilized Apple's built-in networking scheme LocalTalk which made it more affordable shared among several users.

Instead of using expensive shielded twisted pair wiring as in Apple's LocalTalk implementation, PhoneNet uses standard four-conductor telephone patch cords and modular connectors.

In Mac OS X v10. 4, Apple's X11 implemented X11 protocol release 6. 6 ( X11R6. 6 ).

Much of the Toolbox was restructured and implemented as part of Apple's Carbon programming API, allowing programmers familiar with the Toolbox to port their program code more easily to OS X.

Samba runs on most Unix and Unix-like systems, such as GNU / Linux, Solaris, AIX and the BSD variants, including Apple's Mac OS X Server ( which was added to the Mac OS X client in version 10. 2 ).

For example, Apple's iPhone 4 contains a quadband chipset operating on 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 MHz, allowing usage in the majority of countries where UMTS-FDD is deployed.

The decreasing cost of display equipment and processors made it practical to provide graphical user interfaces for many operating systems, such as the generic X Window System that is provided with many Unix systems, or other graphical systems such as Microsoft Windows, the RadioShack Color Computer's OS-9 Level II / MultiVue, Commodore's AmigaOS, Apple's Mac OS, or even IBM's OS / 2.

Apple's Safari 4 browser was released one day later and has been officially credited as being the first official release browser to pass the Acid3 test with a score of 100 / 100.

Siri ( software ) ( pronounced / ˈsɪri /) is an intelligent personal assistant and knowledge navigator which works as an application for Apple's iOS.

It was available both as a standalone CRT terminal ( very similar in design to Apple's eMac ) with 1200-bit / s modem, and as software-only for MS DOS computers.

Maiden is also known for being home to Apple's " Cloud " Data Center, covering, that stores information that can be sent / received through iCloud.

Handheld computer platforms supported include Palm OS / Tapwave Zodiac, Symbian OS ( UIQ platform, Nokia 60, 80 and Nokia 7710 / 90 phone series ), Nokia's Internet Tablet OS ( used by the Nokia 770, N800 and N810 ), Apple's iPhone, MotoMAGX, MotoEZX phones and Windows Mobile.

In keeping with Apple's practice from the Apple II + until the Power Macintosh G3 was announced, a logic board upgrade was available to convert a regular SE to a SE / 30.

Additionally, the SE / 30 can run A / UX, Apple's older version of a Unix that was able to run Macintosh programs.

Unlike Apple's A / UX, Amiga Unix contained no compatibility layer to allow AmigaOS applications to run under Unix.

A / UX ran only on 68K-based Macintoshes with a floating point unit ( FPU ) and a paged memory management unit ( PMMU ), and even then only on selected models ( for example, the Quadra 840AV, Apple's fastest 68K Macintosh, cannot run A / UX ).

Apple's portion of the computer industry at this time was transitioning from the 8-bit 6502 CPU technology that started it, to the newer 16 / 32 bit Motorola 68000 used by computers such as the Commodore Amiga and Atari ST and the Apple Macintosh.

It was introduced as a replacement for the earlier parallel-based Apple Dot Matrix Printer / DMP ( also a C. Itoh model ) and, while primarily intended for the Apple II, worked across Apple's entire computer product line.

This was made possible as the SuperDrive now utilitized the same MFM ( Modified Frequency Modulation ) encoding scheme used by the IBM PC, yet still retained backward compatibility with Apple's variable-speed zoned CAV scheme and Group Code Recording encoding format, so it could continue to read Macintosh MFS, HFS and Apple II ProDOS formats on 400 / 800K disks.

While the external drive worked on both Apple's product lines, it was mainly intended for use on the Apple II series, for which Apple introduced in 1991 a slot-based interface called the Apple II 3. 5 Disk Controller Card for Apple IIe and II computers so they too could use 1. 4 MB storage and read / write MS-DOS.

*** Pressing Home / End keys ( Microsoft's Windows OS ) or Command-left arrow / Command-right arrow ( Apple's Mac OS ) moves the caret to the beginning / end of the line ;

Apple has supported this protocol from Mac OS X 10. 4 onwards, and a Windows driver based on Apple's implementation exists for Windows XP and newer versions.

The Power Mac went on to become the mainstay of Apple's top-end offerings for twelve years, through a succession of case designs, four major generations of PowerPC chips, and a great deal of press coverage, design accolades, and technical controversy.

Apple's Cocoa Touch framework, used on its iOS devices, also uses manual reference counting, and does not support automatic garbage collection, though Automatic Reference Counting was added in iOS 5 and Mac OS X 10. 7.

* Browsers based on WebKit ( such as Apple's Safari, Google Chrome, and The Omni Group's OmniWeb ) have had incomplete support for the SVG 1. 1 Full specification since 2006.

Apple's rendering approach on Mac OS X ignores almost all the hints in a TrueType font, while Microsoft's ClearType ignores many hints, and according to Microsoft, works best with " lightly hinted " fonts.

Apple's iPod does not natively support Vorbis but through the use of Rockbox, an open-source firmware project, is capable of decoding Vorbis files on certain models.

Their main downfall would be Sony's stubborn resistance to supporting the ubiquitous MP3 codec in their early players and many users found it frustrating to convert their MP3 music collection to ATRAC3 for use on the Network Walkman, while Apple's iPod supported MP3 out of the box and came with the iTunes software.

Apple's Mac OS X v10. 3 ( Panther ) and v10. 4 ( Tiger ) include X11. app, based on XFree86 4. 3 and X11R6. 6, with better Mac OS X integration.

* The mouse was not invented at PARC, but by Douglas Engelbart in 1963, Apple's mouse was an improvement on PARC's version.

This was several years prior to successful GUIs on the 16-bit IBM PC class machines, and many years prior to properly working multi-tasking, multi-user, access-controlled operating systems on IBM PC type machines or on any of Apple's machines.

On July 7, 2011, Marathon fan Daniel Blezek released a free version of Marathon 1 for Apple's iPad on the App Store, running off an iOS port of the Aleph One engine.

The LaserWriter was announced at Apple's annual shareholder meeting on January 23, 1985, the same day Aldus announced PageMaker.

However, well past the move to Ethernet, the connector's design continued to be used on all of Apple's peripherals and cable connectors as well as influencing the connectors used throughout the industry as a whole.

HFS drew heavily upon Apple's first hierarchical SOS operating system for the failed Apple III, which also served as the basis for hierarchical filing systems on the Apple IIe and Apple Lisa.

The Classic Environment provides a way to run " Classic " applications on Apple's G5 systems as well as on most G4 based computers sold after September 2002.

Since text-to-speech occurs on Apple's servers, the Speex codec is used to minimize network bandwidth.

Through this slot it also includes built-in support for an 80-column text display on monitors ( with the addition of a plug-in 1 K memory card, via bank-switching of 40 columns ) and could be easily doubled to 128 KB RAM by alternatively plugging in an Apple's Extended 80 Columns Card.

After some uncertainty about the future of AppleScript on Apple's next generation OS, the move to Mac OS X ( around 2002 ) and its Cocoa frameworks greatly increased the usefulness and flexibility of AppleScript.

The first screensaver that allowed users to change the activating time was released on Apple's Lisa, in 1983.
