An interesting post about the origin of the Apple logo. Those looking for deep meaning within the famous brand should follow the links to find out the true story.
The logo of Apple Inc. is among the best-known and best-designed in the world. It has lasted thirty-four years, and we have little reason to think it’ll be replaced any time soon.
It wasn’t designed by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Paul Rand, or Jonathan Ive. It was designed by an advertising…
Apple Grows Up
Well it’s all over the news. Steve Jobs has resigned as CEO of Apple.
“I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come,”
No doubt Steve’s health has played a huge role in the decision, but I think also that this is an indication that he now feels he can let go. Stories from the early years of Apple clearly show his control freak personality. It is a big deal for him to let go of his baby.
And that’s the point. Apple is now “grown up”. And just like a child leaving home, the father of Apple hasn’t completely ended the relationship. He’s still around to give advice and direction. He’s just not making the day to day decisions.
Sounds a lot like successful parenting to me.
Why software is eating the world
I was sure I’d read this story only a couple of years ago, and I was right. After appeal, Micro$oft has been found guilty again, but it’s not over yet. Having already appealed the 2009 result and lost again, they are are going to drag it all back through the courts again.
The army of lawyers getting rich off this must be cheaper than the (revised) damages that have been ordered against them. Of course no one should be surprised. Micro$oft have significant form. The long list of convictions against them for software piracy, patent infringement and of course anti-trust, shows the true character of the corporation.
Multiuser Lion with virtual screen sharing
I discovered last week that Apple have updated their screen sharing in Lion. Now when going to share a screen, it asks for permission.
Even more interesting, you can opt for a virtual display and log in to your account while another user is on the machine. I haven’t checked to see how many virtual displays are supported at one time, but it’s great to see this finally available.
We always knew it. Of course by extension, since IE only ships on Windows…
Lamenting is Worship - Michael Card
A great exegesis and exposition of the lament literature in the Bible, particularly the Psalms. Anyone truly interested in the nature of Worship should watch this. This is part one of seven, about an hour of video all up, but well worth it.
Now to ponder the application.
