Formation Apple

Steve Dzhobs and Steve Voznyak become friends to as far back as school. They more raged the electronics and vision of the world , than training.
Vision of the world was no more than rose daydream: what will change this world, when millions computing device will fall into быт usual people, will undertake control stale operation and will do simple human existence more interesting, seizing and creative. At the beginning initially 70-h Dzhobs, working at Atari, got acquainted and befriended the new senior developer of this company Ronom Veynom. Dzhobs has invited Veyna in company and has offered him 10%. All this was much несерьезно, but Veyn has taken the invitation. 1 April 1976 two Steve and Ron created the company Apple Computer . Voznyak worked at Hewlett-Packard, Dzhobs and Veyn toilled on Atari, but on night they were going to in garage and continued the creation -Apple I - Veyn wrote technical documentation and developed the most first brand of the company.

Dzhobs concerned with searching for of the prospective clients. In Homebrew Computer Club Dzhobs has made the presentation Apple I Field Terrelu. The Floor Terrel was, sooner whole, owner the most first in histories of the computer shop under name Byte Shop, located in Mauntin Viyu, California.
The Presentation заинтриговала Field Terrela, and the following day Terrrel has promised to gain beside Dzhobsa 50 computers on 500 dollars apiece, payment at reception. Terrel has put(deliver)ed only one condition - his(its) interested completely collected computers.

To gain required for production 50 computers радиодетали Dzhobsu happened to to occupy beside friends 5000 dollars, and agree with supplier about credit by period at 30 days on 15 000 dollars. Dzhobs not conceiving залез in debts. Ron Veyn was senior and already had a bitter experience (for several years before this he already tried to create its own engineering company in Las Vegase), he was much скептично is adjusted and powerfully distrusted in that that Terrel will execute its promise and will pay for computers. the April 12 1976 he abandoned to its share in 10% in exchange for lump payment him 800 dollars. Dzhobs - a hurricane to energy and целеустремленности. I was already too disappointed in lifes to race on her on this hurricane - has said later Ron Veyn.

In current 29 days all worked not покладая hands. Terrel has paid. The First profit вселила confidence in Dzhobsa, and for realization his(its) all more амбициозных plan was needed much more money, than managed to earn sale Apple I. Dzhobs addressed to its employer Nolanu Bushnellu - but has not found understanding. Voznyak has offered the idea a production personal computer its employer (Hewlett-Packard) - and here their waited the failure. All considered that personal computer interesting and amusing, but powerfully distrusted in possibility of the commercial success of this project. Nolan Bushnel, president Atari, however, has advised Dzhobsu to address to businessman Don Valentino, which has in turn introduced Dzhobsa with Armasom Kliffom Tanktop Markkuloy, which has left the active business after ingenious operation with block of shares Intel and Fairchild Semiconductor.

Markkula помог Dzhobsu to form the business plan, invested in being born company 92 000 dollars from their own personal savings and has provided the credit line on 250 000 dollars in Bank of America - and January 3 1977 company Apple Computer was is officially registered. In order to avoid legal problems in the future, partnership beside Rona Veyna was ransomed for 5 308 dollars 96 cents, and the one third of this amount was nemedlen74no is issued him in the manner of cheque. Ron did not expect such significant on that timeses of the amount, of own accord abandonning Apple Computer less than for year before this. If... If Ron Veyn remained in companies, his(its) 10% changed in 1991, when share price Apple Computer formed nearly 73 dollars per share, in 875 million dollars; even in most trying times for company these 10% cost not less 150 million dollars.

Apple 2

As it were that nor was, Apple I was not perceived too in earnest. The This success came with model Apple II. This was a first mankind in histories personal computer in plastic body, with colour graphics. Cost this computer 1298 dollars. At the beginning initially 1978 on the market left the inexpensive spindle for diskettes Apple Disk II, which else has more enlarged the volumes of sales.
By means of company Bell & Howard special version Apple II, executed from black plastic arts, became be delivered on educational market.
The Company quickly grew. Soon, to 1980, in her(its) wall toilled already several thousand people, her(its) product became be delivered for limits USA. In company started to come and new investors, serious experienced managers... The Company quickly changed in crock.

Meantime, product to companies have produced in the world the most persisting revolution, having changed placement of power and having pawned foundation for shocking future. From numbed corporative frame computer laboratories computing machinery got free on liberty, and a hundreds of a thousands of the daydreamers and прожектеров has got in their own hands so powerful facility самовыражения that result has not slowed to tell. Deniel Briklin, at free time, has developed the program, which literally has blasted market. The Program was identified VisiCalc, and presented computer realization of the common tables from itself. Deniel not запатентовал its invention. This error cost him not less than 100 million dollars.

The Fruits to revolutions: enormous financial success of the company Microsoft, origin such giant to industry as Oracle, Borland, Symantec... Many thousand companies become second league of enormous industry. Software changed in her(its) the most most important independent branch. Due to system electronic communication, опутавшим world Worldwide Web appeared the thousand removed worker of the places - one more measurement space liberties to personalities.
Strictly, Apple I and Apple II were designed Steve Voznyakom. Can be, all over the world find not one hundred not more talented developments - but exactly Steve Dzhobs has done this development by turning-points in histories of the computing machinery.

The History Apple and computer technology so are powerfully connected with unbelievably inconsistent personality Dzhobsa. Dzhobs - and charm, and деспотизм, and marketing genius, and grandiose failures, cruel errors and creation so heroic and productive creative commands that simply spirit seizes from pride for mankind in general... Formal and informal leader these creative commands each day and each minute was exactly he - speaks of многом.

First failure

To beginning 1980 annual turn of the company has превысил 10 million dollars. Transition from гаражной of the companies to enormous enterprise was made too quickly. Many to was necessary learn. The Lessons of the fate have not forced itself to wait.

Apple 3

19 May 1980 in Anaheyme, California, Apple Computer has presented the public its new development - Apple III.

The New computer cost from 4500 before 7800 dollars, depending on desksides, is equipped in two times more quick processor Synertek 6502А c clockrate 2МГц. Possessing ability to emulate Apple II, this was in principal new computer, the first attempt of the company to leave from ingenious and well selling technologies. On paper all looked splendid. But...

Apple I and Apple II were a development of one person, Steve Voznyaka. Apple III was created by command engineer under direct management Steve Dzhobsa, which energy beat through edge, which at one day required one, on the following straight противополжного - to enormous displeasure engineer. At May 1980 were declared that computer will leave in light at July of the same year. At July issue was remitted before September. At October became clear that on good computer not ready to output on the market - but Dzhobs has literally bent in the computer on the market at November to have time to to december peak of the sale...
The Computer left on the market at November 1980 - and has completely justified the most unpleasant misgivings an engineer. This was a collapse. When at March 1981 finally manage to adjust the mass supplies, 20% machines were faulty on arrival. The Microcircuits вываливались from slot at transportation. That, which were included, died through several business hourses: Dzhobs has persisted on absence of the ventilator and microcircuits fell out from slot because of warm-up expansion.
In current three dramatic years Apple III continued be modified - but this computer as well as has not deserved the confessions of the buyers. To moment of the cessation of his(its) issue at December 1983 in the world was 75 000 users Apple III and more 1 300 000 users Apple II.
At March 1981 Voznyak seriously damaged in авиакатастрофе, and on has long left in furlough. The Problems with sale have brought about that that Dzhobsu happened to to fire 40 employees. In the press дебютировали opuses to subjects of the fast care Apple from business.Became obviously that companies time взрослеть. At the beginning initially 1983 Steve Dzhobs, understanding that will not be able alone to cope with powerfully усложнившимся by business, has invited on job title of the president to companies John S, former president Pepsi Cola. The S finally agreed, and at April 1983 has occupied big easy chair .Dzhobs much painfully outlived the failure. Nearly immediately between S and Dzhobsom began serious friction and discords. At December 1983 Apple III was replaced by more making model Apple III Plus, by means of which user base to manage to increase before 120 000, but finally at April 1984 project Apple III was discontinued.
At January 1983 on change Apple II Plus came most Apple IIe. This model was released and used the enormous demand in current more then 10 years. Enormous amount of these machines is hitherto used in school USA (in 1997 they occupied 17% parka computer in school USA, in 1998 their share grew shorter before 9%

 

 

 

Lisa: second lesson of the fate

That mad, who considers that they can change the world, finally him(it) and change (From promotional trailer Think Different).
The Autumn 1978 Steve Dzhobs and manager on marketing planning William Houkins have proceed with project specification production of the following generation, which has got the code name Lisa. Project Lisa not had nothing general with computer Lisa, which has seen the light at January 1983. In 1978 project taked aim on creationthe computer for business-exhibits, the price in 2000 dollars, with built-in monitor with зеленоватым by low tide, period to realization - an end 1981. That has forced Apple Computer so sharply change their own plans? The Answer one - Xerox.

In 1970 company Xerox created Palo Alto Research Center in Singed Alito, California, where has collected the best heads in information technology of that time under one roof, and has put(deliver)ed before them problem of the creation technology future not taking care of practical applicability and satisfiability project. In 1973 in this most centre was created system Xerox Alto, the first realization most different computer technology, which we use today. This was a personal computer (to the extent that that to use him could only one person), which by means of Ethernet (one more invention PARC) could be changed by information with other Alto. The Overlaying window, manipulator of the type mouse...
In 1979 Dzhobs together with Bilom Atkinsonom (in consequence author graphic library QuickDraw, base of the interface computer Lisa and Macintosh) in the first has once visitted Xerox and... Immediately проникся the idea Xerox Alto. The Specifications of the new computer have suffered serious change.

Exists (and broadly wide-spread) version, according to which Apple умыкнула beside Xerox graphic interface - indeed, possible say that specialists Apple have plagerized several общитх principle, inspiration and confidence in that it possible do. Apple did not get from Xerox no source text or drawings. Seen that their futile ideas by the most active image are realized on company Apple, 15 employees PARC have alterred by sawing on Apple, and with fascination were comprised of tense work on making the user interface, wafted seen and designed in perspective laboratory Xerox.

In 1981 Markkula has discharged Dzhobsa from managament project Lisa. The Reason this has served the failure with Apple III, - and possible visualize, as this was perceived амбициозным and eager Dzhobsom. see, Work on mistake was done serious. Dzhobs concerned with the малозначительным by side project Macintosh , which замышлялся as younger братик lick with the price in 500 dollars...
The First public presentation of this computer took place on annual dealer conference in Acapulco, Meksika. According to Chris Espinoza (one of the the most old employee Apple, at present leader of the command developer AppleScript), during undertaking the conferences in Mexico was much anxiously. That demonstration machines have not fell into the hands to junta, on event of the military upheaval was planned remove all Layzy in ocean and sink them there. Probably, this was better with all sides - speaks Chris.

the January 19 began selling the new computer. 1М operative memory, 32 битный processor Motorola 68000 with clockrate 5МГц, 2 дискетных of the entering, built-in hard disk by capacity in 5М... And the price in 9 995 dollars. Set was put Together with computer from 7 programs, included graphic редкаторы, spreadsheets, word processor, emulator of the terminal... Instead of traditional, the known company market, computer became practically rival DEC, Xerox and the other giant big market .

At September 1983 price was снижена before 6995 dollars, but January 24 1984, simultaneously with start Mackintosh, began sale Lisa 2, modified and perfected versions of this computer, on the price whole in 3495 dollars, - has enlarged sale, however, for the first three months of the sale Poppy was sold in 3 times more, than Licked for more then year. In 1985 production computer Lisa was stopped. In 1983 S has fixed Dzhobsa leader of the branch 32-битных of the developments - that is to say, project Lisa and Macintosh. Exactly Dzhobs has enclosed the hand to liquidations of the project Lisa. The Last model Lisa was on sale under name Macintosh XL.

Macintosh

Notwithstanding attitude board of directors to companies hereto small project, work on he were winnowed selfless, 24 hours a day 7 days at week. The First months of the work on new, запретным project became to be storied for all, who was anyway connected with him.

Exactly Dzhobs was an engine very literate and intensive marketing campaign, due to which else for several years before leaving the Poppy about shocking младшем the brother Layzy spoke in all mass media. 60-second promotional trailer 1984 , which according to legend was shown whole once, fell into majority textbook on advertising deal.

Considering that for success of the new machine vitally necessary software, Dzhobs held intensive talks with ensemble of the companies, including with Microsoft, - practically at moment of the appearance on light Mackintosh could boast the unique programme product. Exactly thence begins its history Microsoft Office, the most selling office system of our days.

The First Mackintosh cost in five once cherish, than required the specification of the project - 2 495 dollars instead of 500. But - a sale were very successful, but straightedge Poppy continues to advance before present-day day itself... In 1985 discords between Dzhobsom and S reached the limit, and Dzhobs has abandoned to company.

Apple fourth generation

Power Mac copes with digital video and 3D project quicker, than his(its) rivals on the base of the processor Pentium.

Apple fifth generation

Apple first releases 64-bit processor available ordinary user. Certainly appeared in the same way AMD opteron which impossible find in sale and Intel itanium2 which cost(stand)s too dearly (hardly they reckoned for usual users) having Developed Power Mac G5 , company Apple has done the stride a development computer since this it is enough powerful system, possessing acceptable price.

In composition Power Mac G5 enters RISC-processor IBM PowerPC 970 , which clockrate forms before 2 GGC. The Kernel of the processor is 64-class and allows to work with any exhibits, including with available 32-class. Such characteristic allows to use the new computers with страрым by software. Follows to note that processor works at frequency of the system bus 800 MHZ, volume cache-memories second level forms 512 Kbytes, but for improvement of the work with multimedia exhibits is used not MMX or SSE, but own technology Altivec. Of course that for making the processor is required 0.13-мкм техпроцесс with use the copper join.

Except PowerPc 970 , in composition Power Mac G5 enters operative DDR SDRAM PC2700 or PC3200 (depending on models), hard disk Serial ATA !!! the volume 80 or 160 Gbayt and speediest видеокарты NVIDIA GeForce FX5200 , ATI Radeon 9600 Pro , 9800 Pro.

The Producer has not forgotten and about network possibility : here предлогаются aside from usual modem else two network controllers, Gigabit Ethernet and Airport. Except this fifth Apple is equiped with else and controller FireWare (working at the speed of as 400, so and 800 Mbit/with) and USB 2.0 six slots PCI are present In computer, three from which 64-class (33 MHZ), two 64-class (100 MHZ) and one PCI-X (133 MHZ)

FireWire 800

New Power Mac G4 is supplied the most best possibility FireWire join in branches two 400Мбит/with port and one 800Мбит/with port. Being standard technology of the consequent entering/conclusion for speediest data communication, FireWire this one of the most quick from ever designed standard for peripherals and now, on velocities 800Мбит/with, he became else quicker. Practically, FireWire 800 redoubles reception capacity to first version FireWire, vastly enlarges the maximum distance FireWire join before 100 metres and supports the different types of the cables that does his(its) irreplaceable for sending the greater files with data and for work with некомпрессированными High-Definition (HD) video and several Standard-Definition (SD) video flow. Besides, he much quicker, than USB 2.0.

Synchronizing with Bluetooth device

The Computer Power Mac G4 supports technology Bluetooth that is one more big advantage. Either as AirPort Extreme, Bluetooth allows the digital device to unite without wire. Working at much smaller distance, than AirPort Extreme, Bluetooth allows quickly to send given between different product, supporting Bluetooth, list which quickly enlarges. For instance, by means of iSync possible to use Bluetooth for synchronizing of your personal information between computer Power Mac G4, and computer PowerBook G4, but in the same way mobile telephone and pocket computer PDA.

Break record graphics

The Computer Power Mac G4 uses 4x AGP graphic slot, possible choose one of 4 unbelievably quick graphic cards. ATI Radeon 9000 (1.42ГГц and 1.25ГГц 2-processor desksides) and NVIDIA GeForce4 MX (1ГГц model) For plays of the type Quake, use графическае cards NVIDIA GeForce 4 Ti or ATI Radeon 9700. Both cards are provided with (128Мб) DDR SDRAM memories.
