Tag 31: All-in-One Computer Evolution

All-in-One Computer sind eine Stärke von Apple seit dem ersten Macintosh gewesen. Sie sind meistens geschlossene Konzepte ohne viel Erweiterungsmöglichkeit. Ich stelle heute zwei interessante AIO Geräte vor, die man kennen sollte.

Der einunddreißigste Beitrag in meiner Reihe von Beiträgen zur Neugestaltung der Ausstellung in meinem Computermuseum. Heute und an weiteren 2 Tagen stelle ich die Zusammenstellung meiner Ausstellungsstücke vor. Apple war immer ganz vorne mit dabei, wenn es um All-in-One Computer ging. Diese Kategorie sollte die Integration von allen möglichen Komponenten in ein Gehäuse erlauben. Kabelsalat…

人間であること

　公益のために尽力する義務について、フランスの有名な詩人であり作家であり飛行士だったアントワーヌ・ド・サンテグジュペリが、非常にうまく表現している。「人間であることは、すなわち、責任を持つことだ。一個の石を置けば、世界という建物をつくるうえでそれなりに貢献できると信じることだ」

MacAddict September 1997

Marking its first year of publication (and celebrating an award from the Computer Press Association), this issue included a full-blown guide to “Mac advocacy,” including suggestions on how to best make your case in conversation with others and bits and pieces of counterarguments against the dismissal of Apple, but also tweaks to make Windows 95 more “Mac-like” if all your efforts didn’t work and your employer wound up yanking the Mac off your desk. A sidebar in the editorial acknowledged Gil Amelio’s departure from Apple (and how the magazine had started off willing to boost him). In the news section, poll results on which of “the two Steves” respondents would rather be stranded in a desert island with were reported. 58% picked “Woz,” with comments that Steve Wozniak would invent some way to get off the island or at least signal for help. As for those who picked Steve Jobs, one anonymous comment included “Evil, arrogant, beautiful hands, black hair. What more do you want? It’s very sad about the male pattern baldness thing.”

Ironically, all previous CEOs of Apple Inc. have initials that form “MACs,” perhaps symbolizing the runaway success of Mac sales. Fortunately, Tim Cook is anointed as “The Seventh One,” the seventh CEO since 2011 (7-11), a fortuitous association with the lucky number 7.

I hate Apple

New Post has been published on https://www.venturecompany.com/blog/2017/06/i-hate-apple/

I hate Apple

“I hate Apple” was the phrase uttered by a member of my household when a wiped Mac computer reconnected to iCloud could not seem to recall any of the playlists stored in Apple’s cloud, playlists that remained accessible by other devices with the same login. Yet of course, such a failure of trust in technology would never be anything Warren Buffet could detect, for I doubt he even uses a Mac. In the same way Warren Buffet’s investment in Dairy Queen reeks of financial engineering more lucrative and pleasing than actually digesting the chain’s food (save for the excellent soft-serve ice cream). You know exactly what I mean when you are brave, or poor enough, to have to enter a Dairy Queen establishment.

Apple without Steve Jobs is slowly sinking back into the morass of mediocrity the company deflated to before Steve’s return. Even as it continues to capitalize on Steve’s vision and execution, yet clearly lacking his attention to detail in the delivery of a cohesive technology ecosystem. Apple today is like an orchestra without a musical director, composer and conductor. A company where newly minted fashionista inmates are tasked to run the increasingly complex insane-asylum of make-believe “innovation”, and produce discombobulated sounds yielding an irritating technology cacophony.

Tim Cook is the captain of Apple’s now bigger and messier ship, with in the words of Gil Amelio, widening holes in the ships’ bottom. Holes that do not surface to financiers and “greater-fools” riding the waves of technology just yet, but nevertheless yield compounding problems forcing its engineers to pump proverbial buckets of water from its hull over the railing. Apple products today are a mess (as evidenced below), even in their mindless optimization of Steve’s central ideas, littered with problems Apple’s leader should have detected way before such products are considered for market entry. While technical glitches are common-place in technology, the gravity of the errors reveal the omission of a higher, simpler and better normalization of strategy. An omission not uncommon for a company that has evolved primarily downstream since Steve Jobs’ passing. Apple employs some of the most talented engineers (I know, I have friends working at Apple) in the industry, but their skills die on the vine if they are not guided by a strong top-level strategic intent, compass and mandate. Trust but verify, must become Tim’s modus operandi.

On the design-front Apple is losing its mark too. Jonathan Ive’s influence, as Apple’s master industrial designer, is losing luster by not having a strong counterpart acting as both his adversarial and pushing him to extreme excellence. Major unchecked design mistakes now compound like a cancer spreading downstream to subsequently erode the unique and easy-to-understand user-experience of Apple’s latest and upcoming products, previously worthy of a premium price-point. As a result, Apple is slowly but steadily becoming a dull price-competitor rather than a prized value-leader, even selling old products wherever it can to still make a buck, in the throws of Wall Street’s antediluvian expectations.

And for all this mess, shrouded by the false positivity promulgated by a naive press, we should all be in awe of Tim Cook. Like we are all supposed to be in awe of Marissa Mayer earning $900,000 per week(!) for running Yahoo! into the ground. Evidence of how the definition of a “greater-fool” so saliently applies to the geniuses who let them. I absolutely love the potential of societal impact induced by technology, but I hate how our operating-systems of humanity do not prevent the cunning technology pirates from leading innocent societies down an ominous path, just to make a buck.

Money really does not equal societal merit. A realization the world and our governments must keep in mind.

You see, one aught not hand the reigns of human operating-systems and controls over to a company that demonstrates it cannot be trusted, and uses price-fixing to starve writers, artists and musicians from their livelihood, right under the veil of the company’s purported embrace. We better not be impressed by a company using modern-day slavery to feign a business-model otherwise incapable of persuading discerning buyers. One also better not make the mistake that a rat-race to please an incontinent Wall Street is demonstrably incompatible with a sincere compass of societal justice and evolutionary integrity. A reason why Steve Jobs was justifiably so aloof – if not ignorant – to the Street. But the Street has found a new friend in Tim, who in the slip-stream of Steve’s passing continues to give the Street growth short-term, and tailored his operational excellence to the needs of the Street, while under the surface has sucked the life out of the integrity, quality and longevity of product and societal value.

To wit, below is a list of problems I personally encountered using only Apple products for everything I do, collected over the course of a little over one (1) week. An indication not of the circumference of the proverbial holes in the bottom of Apple’s ship, but an indication of how quick and easy it is to get seriously stuck in one. Productivity and societal impact not helped, but increasingly harmed by technology.

Get it together Apple, stop releasing flash-in-the-pan products until the existing ones work as expected. Future-selling does not cultivate the brand that Apple once was.

  Apple TV

Black screen of death when playing video on library shuffle. Bad implementation.

Hitting enter during play should reveal pre and post play. Not pause to yield both. Bad use case.

Can’t immediately recognize selected item on screen, so no quick indication of where to move to until you move position. Bad design.

A screensaver flyover video of a grey airport? Really? Bad choices.

A search for a certain type of content is still restricted by who provides it. The false promises of Siri.

Apple TV content access is clashing with cable TV content, not integrated. A user should not need to care or know about where content resides. Bad implementation.

Unique logins per cable TV providers to yield overlapping content makes no sense, use case is insufficiently resolved. Bad implementation.

Music doesn’t start up from main menu, black screen. Restart. Functionally incomplete.

Rent movie on Apple TV, says this content can’t be played on Apple TV. But on close observance the rental period has started and we can play the movie, so it has been activated. Bad implementation.

Can’t purchase iTunes music on Apple TV? Wtf? Forced into Apple Music. Technology indoctrination.

Why can’t a folder stored in Photos be selected as screensaver folder? Ie. Have own selection of photos appear on rotation? Who is paying attention here?

Apple Music can’t have disparate login from iCloud on family atv? Dumb use case

——————

MacBook

Trackpad too close to edge, gets touched by clothing etc. Dumb design.

No edge on keyboard, hard to pick up laptop in opened mode. Dumb design.

Charging cable turns yellow. Shoddy quality.

Out of memory warnings, really? Ever heard of disk-swapping innate to Unix? With 128Gb disk space available. Bad core implementation.

Frozen OS at times in dashboard, reboot only remedy. Recurring in many versions. Bad implementation.

Keyboard letters break apart after one year of use. Backlight shiny through. Sloppy implementation

——————

iPhone 6

Selling old models of iPhone is eroding the brand of Apple, a post-Jobs era in which market penetration at all cost dilutes the top quality of (and price-point) the brand Apple used to stand for.

Back and forward in the top menu bar, not designed for it. Shoving pertinent information aside. Afterthoughts of “innovation”?

iPhone7 Red released 8 months after first model, definition of new?

Horrible looking Apple cases, including ugly one with battery. Erosion of design brand.

Battery drains quickly and reboots at less than 15% at times, fix is a fakeout with wrong battery levels reporting. Dirty fix erodes Apple’s brand

Dumb use cases for name recognition in texts, 5,000 contacts make you have to correct the auto correct every word you spell. Bad decisions on usability

Autorotate while typing, really? Define me the use case.

Rotation of image after picture taken incorrect. Define me the use case.

Dumb position of on/off button, counter pressure changes volume. Bad design

Dumb placement of audio jack, unusable in docking situations. Bad design.

SMTP setup too cumbersome. Fails periodically requiring reconfiguration. Bad implementation.

Bad use of the cloud, internet accounts is a mess. Bad implementation

ICloud status should be in status bar, not hidden in file system somewhere. Bad design.

Weird updates happen when you clear notifications on a per day basis, new notifications flying in from who knows where? Bad implementation.

Keyboard shows up on home screen without search. No way to clear it, except to go into text edit app. Bad implementation

Preview image doesn’t show up after taking photo. For the longest time. Bad attention to detail.

Connection unsuccessful, please pair this device again. Which device is being referred to? Clicking doesn’t allude, only close notification works. And now what? Bad attention to detail.

Lots of hiccups on audio playback, time slicing of OS messed up. Bad implementation of core functionality.

Silencing alarm in notifications goes to wrong place in alarms, not where alarm is established. Hollow call to action. Bad implementation.

Music still does not sync playlists across all devices correctly, some folders empty. Bad implementation.

——————

Apple Watch

Sideway sliding works sometimes, most time not. Bad implementation.

Inconsistent delivery of notifications, takes a PhD to figure out why. Yet another device to manage notifications. Bad use case.

App strategy for Watch is wrong one, purpose-driven device would’ve been better. Bad strategic choices.

Custom apps are generally mediocre, little compliance in terms of consistency and accuracy. They mostly seem to be asleep. Bad use cases.

Automatically opening MacBook with Watch very inconsistent. Bad implementation.

Watch disconnects from phone for no apparent reason, reboot didn’t fix. Unpairing. Bad implementation.

Repairing watch makes no sense. No option to repair on watch? Or recognize watch from iPhone. Bluetooth option on watch offers no resolve. You can’t repair an Apple Watch without deleting contents? Idiotic. Bad implementation.

Not activating Activity on new watch leads to disaster, as there is no apparent way to reinstate its setup. Bad implementation.

Open goal walk shows the milli-seconds jumping and updating in spurts. WTF. Cumulative time appears accurate. Bad implementation.

——————

OSX

Use case of full screen without proper app switching. Bad use case.

Gesture recognition inconsistent, too many false positives and false negatives. Bad use case.

Trackpad shouldn’t detect motion during click, for un-click inaccuracy. Bad use case

Apple Streaming to Apple TV works inconsistently after video ends, no persistent state kept. Bad implementation.

Large address book slows down imessage to a grinding pace. Basically making the computer unusable during a week-long process with 100% CPU utilization. Bad implementation.

Can’t change volume in FaceTime occurrences, not over headphones, not on MacBook. Status bar greyed out, after screen sharing. Bad implementation.

FaceTime and iMessage startup takes forever, indexing 5000 contact names? Bad implementation.

Autocorrect keeps correcting plain English with any name it can find in address book, annoying corrections needed to spell simple words. Bad use case.

Autocorrect is a disaster, not understanding very common words or context. Stale implementation.

FaceTime doesn’t startup on call receive from linked iphone. Bad implementation.

Cope and paste in Pages inconsistent, works sometimes, sometimes not. Paste yields paste before sometimes paste after in some cases. Bad implementation of core functionality.

iTunes is a gargantuan mess, full of inconsistencies, bugs, usability errors, first 30 second errors massive: Delete from library should not equate to delete from store, where is my media? Download limit on your own media, download every song manually? iTunes ratings demoted, how about 5000 ratings? Bad overly complex implementation, redo from scratch.

Sign in through App Store doesn’t confirm I am logged in. Shows same Signon screen as if I did nothing. Shoddy implementation.

Autocorrect is flimsy, if not incorrect, outdated linguistically and unadjusted to fluency of languages (hire Noam Chomsky for direction). Bad implementation.

Application switcher Command Tab works sometimes, sometimes not. Bad implementation.

Alerts about adding internet accounts, requiring password via notifications goes nowhere. Bad implementation

Other mysterious behavior of Internet Accounts, adding and deleting mess-ups. Bad implementation, strategically flawed.

Use case for new accounts and passwords badly thought out, accounts should be added in cloud then disseminated across devices. Wrong implementation decisions.

Search in finder window works incorrectly, file not found when files are there. Inconsistent implementation, dependent on how search is performed.

Renaming bluetooth mouse does not work. Bad implementation

Magic Mouse on/off button slides on too easily in a soft bag, running out of power. Bad Design

Slide mouse on its side to charge? Bad design

Why does it take half an hour to check for application updates? Bad implementation

Sidebar in Safari, Impossible to figure out how to close. bad usability controls. Incompatible with youtube playback.

AirPlay stops transferring to Apple TV while video continues playing on Macbook. Bad implementation.

LinkedIn doesn’t connect to address book to sync all 4600 contacts, CoreDAVErrorDomain error 1. Bad implementation

Signatures in Mail unlinked from accounts upon reinstall. Not saved in cloud, while signatures themselves are. Half ass implementation.

38 seconds to startup FaceTime, really? Bad implementation

Autocorrect does not understand linguistics, dumb technology.

iCloud Drive resync to old device takes forever, no automatic sync (like Dropbox) is activated. How will that affect backups from this device. Data integrity alert. Need to manually re-activate top-level folder download. Unreliable implementation.

[forgottenfuturist]

From the April 1997 issue of MacAddict, shortly after the Apple-NeXT merger: Apple's strategy for Rhapsody, the new OS that would eventually morph into Mac OS X. Let's look at Apple's promises for the new OS would shake out:

Run classic Mac OS apps: yes. The first several version of OS X did allow compatibility for older Mac OS apps.

Run on currently shipping Power Macs and clones: no. None of the Macs shipping at the time this magazine was published could run Mac OS X when it was finally released almost 4 years later. And after initially expressing approval for the Mac clones when he first returned to Apple, Steve Jobs killed them off after he ran off Gil Amelio and took over the company. The clones couldn't even run OS 8 or 9.

Ship within a year: big no. A Rhapsody developer release did come out on August 31, 1997. But the first release that was actually sold was Mac OS X Server, released in March 1999. The consumer version of Mac OS X was released in March 2001, 3 years and 11 months after this magazine's cover date.

More responsive and stable than Mac OS 7x: Stable, definitely. But OS X 10.0's performance issues are infamous, and it didn't really feel speedy until subsequent releases.

Include QuickTime and OpenDoc. Yes/no. QuickTime survives to this day. But OpenDoc joined the Newton and HyperCard in the graveyard of things Steve Jobs killed when he took over.

In final form, have the Mac look and feel. OS X ended up introducing a completely new UI that replaced the classic Mac interface.

Provide new capabilities. Easily, yes.

MacAddict July 1998

The iMac on this issue’s cover isn’t quite right; the door that covered the clustered ports is on the wrong side. Regardless of that, the odd-looking lettering on its front, and even the ultimately unpopular mouse being on the left side of the keyboard, the keyboard itself, the IR port on one speaker, and the power button haven’t been reversed. While this may have been a product of clip art sent to the magazine rather than the magazine’s own staff, the computer was positively received, with David Reynolds’s editorial bringing up the “Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh” to argue Apple had improved in the bumpy transition from Gil Amelio to Steve Jobs. So far as other portentous announcements went, a news item declared Apple’s plans for “Rhapsody” had transformed into Mac OS X, which would be more compatible with what had been programmed before.

Best Apple Arcade Games

Apple Inc. is an American international modern technology firm that focuses on consumer electronics, computer software program, as well as on-line services. Apple is the world's biggest modern technology business by revenue (amounting to $274.5 billion in 2020) and, considering that January 2021, the world's most valuable company. As of 2021, Apple is the world's fourth-largest PC vendor by system sales, as well as fourth-largest smart device maker. It is one of the Huge Five American details technology firms, in addition to Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and also Facebook.Apple was started by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, as well as Ronald Wayne in 1976 to develop and offer Wozniak's Apple I computer. It was incorporated by Jobs as well as Wozniak as Apple Computer, Inc. in 1977, and sales of its computers, including the Apple II, grew promptly. They went public in 1980 to instant economic success. Over the next few years, Apple delivered new computer systems including ingenious graphical user interfaces, such as the initial Macintosh, revealed with the seriously well-known advert 1984. Nonetheless, the high rate of its products as well as restricted application library created problems, as did power battles between execs. In 1985, Wozniak departed Apple amicably, while Jobs resigned to discovered NeXT, taking some Apple colleagues with him.As the market for individual computers increased and developed through the 1990s, Apple lost considerable market share to the lower-priced duopoly of Microsoft Windows on Intel PC duplicates. The board recruited CEO Gil Amelio, that prepared the battling company for ultimate success with considerable reforms, product focus and also discharges in his 500 day period. In 1997, Gil purchased NeXT, to resolve Apple's not successful OS strategy as well as revive Steve Jobs, who changed Amelio as CEO later that year. Apple returned to profitability under the rejuvenating Assume various campaign, introducing the iMac and also iPod, opening a retail chain of Apple Shops in 2001, and also getting countless companies to widen their software portfolio. In 2007, the business released the apple iphone to crucial honor and financial success. In 2011, Jobs surrendered as CEO because of health and wellness problems, and also died two months later on. He was been successful by Tim Cook. In August 2018, Apple became the initial openly traded U.S. company to be valued at over $1 trillion and also the first valued over $2 trillion 2 years later on. It has a high level of brand name commitment and also is placed as the world's most important brand; as of January 2021, there are 1.65 billion Apple products in use worldwide. However, the company gets substantial objection regarding the labor practices of its service providers, its ecological techniques, as well as business values, including anti-competitive actions, and also products sourcing.

Apple Arcade has finally started growing to meet the expectations of users. The service offers more than 100 premium games at the choice of players for a monthly fee. All arcade games are worth playing, but if you do not have the time or ambition to overcome them, the ten should be sufficient. Here are the top ten Apple Arcade games according to their popularity and notes. All these games have a high replayability value and will entertain you, you and your friends and family for a long time. Most of these games are also available on other platforms such as Steam and Epic Games Store.

Exit Gungeon

The rest of the independent favorite Enter The Gungeon may not be quite what the players were waiting. But it's still an exciting adventure. In this one, players embark on a lateral scroll adventure, rather than up and down, eliminating enemies using a variety of creative weapons. Despite the change of perspective, Gungeon is always a game that raises the challenge. And it looks just as charming as the original title. Just make sure you have a controller for this - these contraction skills will be needed to survive the subsequent steps. Consider this as a warning.

grinding wheel

It is difficult to describe the last effort of the studio that has released the episode below and Swords and Sworcery. It contains role play elements and the kind of classic game puzzle game, similar to Puzzle Quest. However, he has several monsters and a hero who is not afraid to decide and cut them into dice. It also has a hand drawn style that stands out from other Apple Arcade offers. It's really a unique effort and it's worth trying.

Sayonara Wild Hearts

In Sayonara Wild Hearts, players will guide a virtual heroine through several scenarios, fighting dangerous enemies while capturing all the hearts she can find.

No Better Time To Be In Blockchain

The Cirus Foundation has named former Apple CEO Gil Amelio as its senior adviser, the company announced Monday.

The blockchain-powered data-ownership project said the veteran technology executive would also serve as chairman of its commercial division, helping Cirus reach an untapped market for its technology.

Cirus’ plug-and-play router gives users control over their data, allowing them to earn cryptocurrency from this information in way that’s similar to Helium’s approach to low-power Wi-Fi systems.

Cirus said in an announcement that it was seeking “a seasoned executive” who understood internet connectivity.

“It signals there is no better time to be in blockchain,” Cirus co-founder and CEO Daniel Bland said in a statement. “We’re more confident than ever that together we will be taking steps in the right direction in terms of building this Ownership Economy.”

Evening welcome back everyone Ive just finished for the day went out with family on a little trip to collect an electronic device plumbed in the toilet and have built the boxing to hide the pipes so its now ready for the tiles. Its trivia time so D.Y.K what happened on 6th October?. . Im starting in the early 40's when was Photocopying first Patented, It was October 6th 1942 when Chester Carlson was issued a patent on a process called electrophotography, now commonly known as photocopying. It was not until 1946 that a company had any interest in pursuing photocopying commercially. The Haloid Company finally licensed Carlson’s patent and created the word xerography to differentiate the process from traditional photography. Eventually, photocopying became such a large part of the company’s revenue that Haloid changed their name to Xerox. . In 1983 Lotus Development Went Public, Lotus Development Corp. went public after recording revenues of $12.8 million for the previous 12 months. The company, founded by Mitch Kapor and Jonathan Sachs in 1982, found its success with Kapor’s spreadsheet program, Lotus 1-2-3. Lotus 1-2-3 bypassed the operating system of the IBM PC, making it much faster than its competitors. In addition, its combination of spreadsheet capabilities with graphics and data retrieval made the program popular. IBM acquired Lotus in 1995. . Do you remember when in 1997 Michael Dell Said I’d Shut Apple Down?, Gil Amelio just was just removed as CEO of Apple. People were calling for Steve Jobs to return, but others thought that would be a bad investment. At a Garner Symposium, Michael Dell was asked what he would do with Apple. He came back in saying: “I’d shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders.” – Michael Dell, Had Apple done that, we might see a completely different market out there. . . . #TerrierByteIT #Wifeidge #computerhistory #computer #technology #history #computerscience #tech #computerhistorymuseum #computers #retro #vintage #retrotech #trivia #oldtechnology #techhistory #technologyhistory #computinghistory #oldcomputer #oldschool #informationtechnology #thisdayinhistory #internethistory #historyoftechnology #retrocomputer https://www.instagram.com/p/Bom-V8KlTE-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k3nzscusw7q7
