garage where Jobs and
his friends design their first
computer kit : the Apple I

released the Apple I (for
$666) and started Apple
Computers.

application" : a

16. In 1979 Jobs and some other Apple
employees visited the Xerox PARC( Palo Alto
Research Centre). There they saw Xerox Alto.
“The environment of the screen was
graphically based” with icons, with a mouse
for pointing at them, windows and pull-down
menus. Thus the user could ”interact easily
with the computer without ever typing a single
letter”

 Could only run one application at a time
Mac System 5, 6, 7 (1987 – mid 1990’s)
Could run multiple applications
Mac OS 8 (8.0 – 8.6) (1997) – better file management
Mac OS 9 (9.0 – 9.2.2) (1999) – improved support for
wireless
Mac OS X (1999 – today) – UNIX based OS

33. iPod- THE BLOCKBUSTER
On October 23, 2001-
the iPod
CPU: Samsung ARM and
Apple A4
5 GB hard drive that put
"1,000 songs in pocket”
New technology: spintronics
Initially , iPod software only
worked with Mac OS;
from 2nd generation
onwards works with Microsoft
Windows also
Apple's iTunes Store was
introduced, offering
online music downloads for
$0.99 a song and integration
with the iPod.

34. Albert Fert and Peter Gruenberg won the
2007 Nobel Prize for physics for work that has
allowed hard disks to be made much smaller for
everything from laptops to iPods
The prize was awarded for work on
magnetoelectronics, also known as spintronics.
It uses the spin of the electron to store and
transport information instead of the electrical
charge, meaning much more information could be
kept in a smaller space than before.

35. on January 9, 2007, Jobs announced that
Apple Computer, Inc. would from that point
on be known as Apple Inc., because
computers were no longer the main focus of
