    Unix: Discussion Questions

    Two of the individuals working on the MULTICS project, Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie, had written a computer game (Space Travel) on the MULTICS system and were able to transfer it to a PDP-7 computer. By 1969, the file system and a set of basic utilities was created and because the operating system could only support one user, the name Uniplexed Information and computing System (UNICS) was given to it as a joke for the MULTICS system. When multiprocessing functionality was added a short time later in 1970, the UNICS name was changed to UNIX. So, to answer the question, UNIX is over 40 years old.…

    Apple Inc

    Apple Inc. is one of the most successful companies in the United States and in the world. Apple Inc. is a multinational company that specializes in the manufacturing of electronic equipment like smartphones, software and computers. The company is well known to everyone for products like iPhone, Macintosh, iPad and iPod. Apple came into existence as the joint effort of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. Wozniak was the mind behind the technology while Jobs was mind behind the marketing strategies. Apple Inc. was founded by Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs, and Ron Wayne on April 1, 1976 then was incorporated in 1977. The company was first established as Apple Computer Inc. Later on, the company founders decided to remove the world computer from its original name in order to show a future growth in different electronic products. The first product manufactured by this company was Apple I. “Apple used TV as the display medium, which was revolutionizing in its own self. Before that, no personal computers offered any sort of display. It worked much faster than other machines and provided an easy start up RAM and bootstrap code.” (Apple Inc., 2012) Building these machines was a problem because of the financial status of the company and because the location wasn’t appropriate. They managed to get a loan for US$250,000 through Mike Markkula who co-signed the bank loan. With money and new hope, the Apple II was created and it was specifically directed to households. ”Millions were sold well into the 1980s. A number of different models of the Apple II series were built, including the Apple IIe and Apple IIGS, which could still be found in many schools as late as 2005.” (Apple inc., 2012).…

    Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak founded Apple in California in 1976. Their mission was to introduce an easy to use computer to market, which led to a computing revolution and quickly became the industry leader by selling more than 100,000 Apple IIs in 1980. After IBM entered PC market, IBM PCs, which used Microsoft’s DOS (OS), gained more market share and became the new standard for the PC industry. At the same time, Apple introduced the Macintosh in 1984. However, Apple’s net income fell 62% due to the Mac’s slow processor speed and lack of software limited sales. In 1985, Steve Jobs was forced out and John Sculley took charge of the Mac. Under the direction of Sculley, Apple found its new market in desktop publishing. Despite Sculley’s efforts, Apple’s gross margin dropped to 34% and Sculley was replaced by Micheal Spindler. Over 2,500 jobs were cut, almost 16% of Apple’s workforce and the company was totally reconstructed. After losing a $69 million for developing a revolutionary OS, Gilbert Amelio was appointed as another new CEO. Amelio announced that Apple should develop a new OS based on NeXT, however the company was still in chaos. Finally, Steve Jobs got the title of CEO in 1997 to save Apple. Unlike previous CEOs, Jobs focused on Apple’s strength, ‘closed door policy’. In addition, he wanted Apple to have a culture influence in a way of innovative, new thinking, and creative. In 1998, he introduced the iMac and the line became a sales smash. Steve Jobs brought iTunes, iPod, MacBook and iPhone to the public and change the way people download music and use laptop computers.
