Apple vs The World
In past years, Apple was on a downward spiral, but now the Mac is back on the right track. The interim CEO Steve Jobs has brought them from expected quarterly loses to now, first quarter net income of some 150 millions dollars. The question still remains, is Apple back to stay? With the Windows driven world of today, can Apple assert them self to claim market share? Apple’s stunning new hardware, user-friendly operating system, and drive for incredible new technology, will not only compare Apple to traditional PC and software maker but will stun the rest of the computer world along the way. On July 21, 1999, PC Data released a report stating the iMac, Apple’s entry level personal computer, was the best selling retail and mail order computer in the month of June. There are a number of different reasons why this computer beat out all other PC’s on the market. One reason is the new and exciting colors the iMac is being offered in. Instead of the traditional color, beige, being offered by Dell or Gateway, the iMac comes in strawberry, blueberry, grape, tangerine and lime. Another feature for the iMac is the speed of the computer compared to the computers in its class. According to th
It is much faster and easier to use than the serial port. Finally the new MacOS is equipped with one feature that no other operating system has, and that is speech recognition. Windows is just starting to support future uses of Java. Another push for the advancement of PC technology, by Apple, is the newly adopted USB port. No installing drivers like the Window-based computers are made to do. An addition to the great new technologies being introduced and supported is the continued excellence for the graphics in the industry. These computers are the fastest personal computers on the market today, beating other computers such as the Gateway 550-MHz Pentium III PC. Finally, the new Macintosh operating systems are showing great support for the futurist programming language of Java. This is a wireless networking system that lets you travel up to 150 feet away from the base station. There are several reasons attributing to the Apple come back but no more than the new dedication by Apple to drive technology further than anyone personal computer company has. Apple’s ad campaign is based on the two words of “Think Different”, and I believe they are even taking these words home to Apple. Apple has always supported graphical software and hardware but the continued vision of where the industry is going with software titles like Adobe PhotoShop and Apple’s new FinalCut Pro surpasses anything the rest of the other computer and software makers have to offer. With this Apple, is likely to become a major player, again, in the industry of personal computing. The iMac is not the only computer offered by Apple.
