The promised Windows version of eWorld was not launched following a decision by Apple's senior management to position eWorld as a unique service for Macintosh owners.

XBMC can however offload most of the video decoding process onto graphics hardware controller that supports one of the following types of hardware-accelerated video decoding: Intel's VAAPI, Nvidia's VDPAU, AMD's XvBA, Microsoft's DXVA, Apple's VDADecoder / VideoToolBox, OpenMAX, and Broadcom Crystal HD Enhanced Media Accelerator.

Originally to have been completed in 2004, it was finally released to stores on October 18, 2005, following an exclusive electronic release on Apple's iTunes Music Store on September 27.

They were usually equipped with Apple's newest technologies, and commanded the highest prices among Apple desktop models.

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.

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 ).

The Power Mac G5 was Apple's marketing name for models of the Power Macintosh that contained the IBM PowerPC G5 CPU.

Improving upon the PowerBook 100's portability ( its immediate predecessor and Apple's third smallest laptop ), the Duo came in seven different models.

The Performa series was not a new line of computers, but simply renamed models from Apple's regular line of computers — such as Quadra, Centris, LC, and Power Macintosh — sold by authorized Apple resellers.

Software bundles usually included ClarisWorks, Quicken, a calendar / contact manager such as Touchbase and Datebook Pro, America Online, Apple's At Ease child-safe interface, educational software such as American Heritage Dictionary, The New Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia, Microsoft Bookshelf ( on models equipped with a CD-Rom ), Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing, or Mario Teaches Typing, and games such as Spectre Challenger, Super Munchers, and Monopoly, all pre-installed over a slightly customized version of the Macintosh System software, denoted by a P in the version number ( e. g., System 7. 1P5 ).

Apple's marketing name for all these early AGP models is Power Mac AGP Graphics.

These models also introduced Apple's proprietary Apple Display Connector video port.

This was Apple's first attempt at a " low-cost " Mac, and it was such a success that, when subsequent models replaced the CPU with a 68030, a 68040, and later a PowerPC processor, ways were found to keep the PDS slot compatible with the original LC, so that the same expansion cards would continue to work.

The new models had an anodized aluminum enclosure that matched Apple's high-end lines of professional products.

The original iMac had a 233 MHz PowerPC G3 ( PowerPC 750 ) chip, with 512 KB L2 cache running at 116. 6 MHz, which also ran in Apple's high-end Power Macintosh line at the time, though at higher speeds, with more expensive models shipping with 1 MB L2 cache.

* Kanga, the internal development codename for Apple's PowerBook G3 computer, now used to differentiate between the original and later models

Newer ones include Free Lossless Audio Codec ( FLAC ), Apple's Apple Lossless, MPEG-4 ALS, Microsoft's Windows Media Audio 9 Lossless ( WMA Lossless ), Monkey's Audio, and TTA.

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.

In 1984, Apple founder Steve Jobs was the head of Apple's SuperMicro division, which was responsible for the development of the Macintosh and Lisa personal computers.

Apple's Chief Executive Officer ( CEO ) John Sculley ousted Jobs from his day-to-day role at Apple, replacing him with Jean-Louis Gassée in 1985.

Meanwhile, in exchange for Truetype, Apple got a license for TrueImage, a PostScript-compatible page description language owned by Microsoft that Apple could use in their laser printers. This was never actually included in any Apple products when a later deal was struck between Apple and Adobe, where Adobe promised to put a TrueType interpreter in their PostScript printer boards, Apple renewed its agreements with Adobe for the use of PostScript in its printers ; resulting in lower royalty payments to Adobe who was beginning to license printer controllers capable of competing directly with Apple's LaserWriter printers.

Apple's Apple Remote Desktop client management system can be used to send Wake-on-LAN packets, but there are also freeware and shareware Mac OS X applications available.

HFS was introduced by Apple in September 1985, specifically to support Apple's first hard disk drive for the Macintosh, replacing the Macintosh File System ( MFS ), the original file system which had been introduced over a year and a half earlier with the first Macintosh computer.
