Photos: 30 Years Of The Apple Mac

The Macintosh TV – released in 1993 – was an ill-fated attempt to combine the increasingly popular home computer market with a traditional television. It came with a CD-drive and a TV tuner card, and was one of the only Macs ever produced in black. Ultimately, however, it did not prove popular, largely because users couldn’t switch easily between watching television and other programmes. Only 10,000 were made.

In 1984, on January 24th, Apple released the first Macintosh home computer.

It was a revelation – mainly for its incorporation of a graphical display when its rivals could only display text.

The following year, founder Steve Jobs left the company.

Apple continued to make progress with innovative machines, but only after his return in 1996, that Apple’s computers began to achieve the popularity and recognition with new, design-led strategy – Yahoo News.

The first iMac of the modern generation, this saw Apple revert to an all-in-one configuration – the difference this time being that, unusually and impressively, the entire computer was housed within the flatscreen unit just two inches thick.

The Mac II was, as the name suggests, the next generation computer from Apple (although several iterations of the Mac I had been released). New out in 1987, it was the first Mac to come as a separate screen and desktop unit, and was the first to display colour, at a resolution of 640×480. The CPU speed was just 16Mhz, and the maximum RAM had risen to 20MB.

In 1989, Apple released the Mac Portable, its first ‘laptop’ computer. It weighed 7.16kg, measured 38cm by 37cm by 10cm, had a 40MB hard drive and a floppy disk drive. It also included a mono speaker. The active matrix screen made it hugely expensive: $6,500.

The current flagship iMac – released in 2009 and updated last year. It is a whopping 27 inches across, comes with 8GB of RAM and a 3 terabyte hard drive. It’s also only 5mm thin at the edges – a long way from its ancestor the iMac G5, let alone the original Macs.

Following the success of the G3, Steve Jobs revitalised the company’s laptops, calling this 1999 offering the “iBook” – a naming trend we’re now quite familiar with. While modern – it was one of the first laptops to have WiFi – it didn’t enjoy the same praise as the iMac G3. AP Photo/Bebeto Matthews)

The first Apple Mac – called simply the Macintosh – was released on January 24th, 1984. It had 128 kilobytes of RAM – a modern day iMac has 65536 times as much. It was the first computer in the world to feature a Graphical User Interface – displaying anything other than lines of text on a screen. It cost $2495, and was replaced within eight months by a version with 512Kb of RAM.

The Mac Plus fixed a lot of the early glitches with the Macintosh – upping the RAM to 1MB and included a SCSI port, which would allow users to connect other devices such as a printer. It originally came in beige – pictured – but later was the first Mac to switch to the smarter ‘platinum’ grey.

Steve Jobs was very smart and a master innovator.

He invented great technology gadgets like personal computer, iPod, iPhone and iPad.

On Wednesday Steve Jobs resigned as the Apple CEO.

The news made the company’s share went down.

Tim Cook is now the new Apple CEO.

Steve Jobs started Apple Computer with a high school friend in a Silicon Valley garage in 1976.

He invented many interesting technology gadgets like personal computer, iPod, iPhone and iPad >>>please click here<<<.

Steve Jobs is not only a good inventor but he is also a good businessman.

Apple Inc. faced bad business without him years ago.

He came back to Apple Inc. and invented new technology gadgets that helped the company to be successful again.

I think that Steve Jobs is a very,very,very smart man.

It must be a sad news for Apple.

Steve Jobs must be very sad too…

I hope that he’ll get well soon and be able to invent more interesting gadgets.

 

Apple Introduced New iPhone 4

Apple CEO Steve Jobs introduced the latest iPhone 4 at the Moscone Center, San Francisco.

Steve Jobs said that it is the thinnest smart phone on the planet.

It is 24% thinner than iPhone 3GS.

The phone will come in two colours; black and white.

The sale of iPhone 4 will start on June 24 in the United States and four other countries.

The price for the 16GB phone is USD 199 and USD 299 for 32GB.

The iPhone 4 will have a camera for video conferencing on the front and a 5 mega pixel camera with LED flash and 5X digital zoom at the back.

I wish I can have an iPhone 4 because I think that the camera is great and I would love to have an iPad too 🙂

Steve Jobs is a real great man.

Why I Want An i Pad :)

My father showed me a You Tube by Steve Jobs about the i Pad by Apple.

It looks interesting and looks like a toy.

We can read a book, watch movie, surf the internet, look at photo album and much more.

We don’t need a mouse but use our fingers to scroll.

We can turn it around and around 🙄

That looks really fun.

We can also write new posts for our blogs using i Pad.

It is light, so it is easy to be carried everywhere 😉

It is easy to carry an i Pad when we travel 😯

i Pad is good for a blogger 🙂

I wish somebody can give me an i Pad 🙂

I think Steve Jobs is a great man.
