Gassée long argued that Apple should not market their computers towards the low end of the market, where profits were thin, but instead concentrate on the high end and higher profit margins.

Gassée long argued that Apple should not market their computers towards the low end of the market, where profits were thin, but instead concentrate on the high end and higher profit margins.

Apple argued that recordable CDs, the Internet, and office networks were quickly making diskettes obsolete.

Slade Gorton, Attorney General of Washington, argued the cause for the Washington State Apple Advertising Commission.

The Apple I went on sale in July 1976 at a price of, because Wozniak " liked repeating digits " and because they originally sold it to a local shop for $ 500 plus a one-third markup.

At the time, they announced that " Apple realized that it's not in the business to create a networking system.

Apple had considered the problem, and AppleTalk included the possibility for a low-cost LocalTalk-to-Ethernet bridge, but they felt it would be a low-volume product and left it to 3rd parties.

This FriendlyNet system was based on the industry-standard Attachment Unit Interface, but deliberately chose a non-standard connector that was smaller and easier to use, which they called " Apple AUI ", or AAUI.

So they decided to designed a TRS-80 and CP / M software compatible computer system, which ( following the lead of Apple Computer ) they decided to name after a " typical Dutch flower ".

Some years later it was learned that they had licensed it to Apple for something like $ 40, 000.

Apple ended their Dylan development effort in 1995, though they made a " technology release " version available (" Apple Dylan TR1 ") that included an advanced IDE.

The Golden Apple appears as a gift from Aphrodite with the ability to make any mortal woman fall in love with the man holding it and to make a mortal man and woman soul mates if they simultaneously touch it.

Apple also made changes to applications: they resume in the same state as they were before they were closed ( similar to iOS ).

Special nibble-copy programs such as Locksmith and Copy II Plus could sometimes duplicate these disks by using a reference library of known protection methods ; when protected programs were cracked they would be completely stripped of the copy protection system, and transferred onto a standard format disk that any normal Apple II copy program could read.

Finally released from Virgin, they formed their own label, Idea Records, and embarked on the recording of the ambitious " Apple Venus " project, a collection of the best material written during the band's dispute with Virgin.

When Apple Inc. bought NeXT, and used NeXTSTEP to construct Mac OS X, they replaced Display PostScript with Quartz.

However, the search pattern specified as an argument is case sensitive by default, so this example's output does not include lines containing Apple ( with a capital A ) unless they also contain apple.

In that regard it and its successors stood out among all of Apple ’ s Macintosh product offerings until 1987, when Apple adopted a unifying warm gray color they called Platinum across its entire product line, which was to last for over a decade.

Apple Computer had somewhat more success, even though they entered the SIMD market later than the rest.

Apple was the dominant purchaser of PowerPC chips from IBM and Freescale Semiconductor and even though they abandoned the platform, further development of AltiVec is continued in several Power Architecture designs from Freescale and IBM.

While many 8-bit home computers of the 1980s, such as the Commodore 64, Apple II series, the Atari 8-bit, the Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum series and others could load a third-party disk-loading operating system, such as CP / M or GEOS, they were generally used without one.

However, they became most well known as the processors powering desktop computers such as the Apple Macintosh, the Commodore Amiga, the Sinclair QL, the Atari ST, and several others.

Although SCSI interfaces soon became available for PCs, they were comparatively expensive and tended to be limited by the speed of the PC's ISA peripheral bus ( although SCSI did become standard on the Apple Macintosh ).

Apple used a proprietary system with seven 50-pin-slots for Apple II peripheral cards, then later used the NuBus for its Macintosh series until 1995, at which time they switched to a standard PCI Bus.

It seems likely that memory constraints were at the root of these differences, as the Apple II ROM had only 10 kilobytes available for the interpreter, and the improved hi-res graphics support was clearly a higher priority.

By this point Apple had a wide variety of communications products under development, and many of these were announced along with AppleTalk Phase II.

In 1988 Apple had released MacTCP, a system that allowed the Mac to support TCP / IP on machines with suitable Ethernet hardware.

When the Apple II, PET 2001 and TRS-80 were all released in 1977, all three had BASIC as their primary programming language and operating environment.

The Apple II and TRS-80 each had two versions of BASIC, a smaller introductory version introduced with the initial releases of the machines and a more advanced version developed as interest in the platforms increased.

Tucker had earlier used " Big Apple " as a reference to a different city, Los Angeles.

By the late 1980s, the personal computer market had become dominated by the IBM PC and Apple Macintosh platforms.

By this point, both the IBM PC and Apple Macintosh had a much larger market share than the Amiga platform.

The two price wars resulting from Compaq's actions ultimately drove numerous competitors from the market, such as Packard Bell, and by 1994 Compaq had overtaken Apple Computer and even surpassed I. B. M.

By the mid-1990s, Compaq's price war had enabled it to overtake IBM and Apple, while other IBM PC Compatible manufacturers such as Packard Bell and AST were driven from the market.

However, in an in-person interview held at the Apple Store Soho on August 16, 2012, Cronenberg commented that the financing for the " Eastern Promises " sequel had fallen through about two weeks earlier.

Microsoft had worked with Apple Computer to develop Desk Accessories and other minor pieces of software that were included with early Macintosh system software.

As part of the related business negotiations, Microsoft had licensed certain aspects of the Macintosh user interface from Apple ; in later litigation, a district court summarized these aspects as " screen displays ".

The Amstrad PCW's bundled word processing software, LocoScript, used the term " in limbo " to refer to files which had been deleted but which could still be restored, a concept similar to that later implemented by the Trash in the Apple Macintosh and the Recycle Bin in Microsoft Windows 95.

The time period is 1993 – 1995, at a time when Microsoft has reached dominance in the software industry and emerged victorious from the " Look & Feel " lawsuit by Apple Inc., a company that had at times seemed in danger of falling apart.

The most popular computers such as the Apple II and IBM PC had published schematic diagrams and other documentation which permitted rapid reverse-engineering and third-party replacement motherboards.

The original Macintosh system software was partially based on the Lisa OS, previously released by Apple for the Lisa computer in 1983 and, as part of an agreement allowing Xerox to buy shares in Apple at a favorable rate, it also used concepts from the Xerox PARC Xerox Alto, which Steve Jobs and several other Macintosh team members had previewed.

Many different jobs and a number of Apple engineers visited Xerox PARC in December 1979, three months after the Lisa and Macintosh projects had begun.

Apple was so successful in its marketing for the Macintosh, that it quickly outshone its more sophisticated predecessor, the Lisa, in sales — so much so that Apple quickly developed a product called MacWorks which allowed the Lisa to emulate Macintosh system software through System 3, by which time it had been discontinued as the re-branded Macintosh XL.

It saw use in some late-model Amiga machines and Amiga accelerator cards as well as some Atari ST clones and a Falcon accelerator board ( CT060 ), and very late models of the Alpha Microsystems multiuser computers before their migration to x86, but Apple Inc. and the Unix world had moved onto various RISC platforms by the time the ' 060 was available.

The Macintosh had been successful on university campuses in considerable part because of the Apple University Consortium, which allowed students and institutions to buy the computers at a discount.
