This Week in Apple History... - 14 - 20 Nov

MacOS — Wen, 14 Nov 2007 10:11:35 GMT

1982: Steve Jobs writes a letter requesting McIntosh Laboratory (www.mcintoshlabs.com) provide Apple a worldwide release for the name Macintosh for use in the computer industry. Jef Raskin's project had been code-named Macintosh since its inception in 1979, but when Apple attempted to trademark the name in 1982, the request was denied because it phonetically infringed on the trademark already owned by the high-end audio equipment manufacturer of Binghamton, New York. In his letter to Gordon Gow, president of McIntosh Labs, Mr. Jobs writes, "We have become very attached to the name Macintosh. Much like one's own child, our product has developed a very definite personality."

Most Amazing Amateur Mac Museum Ever

MacOS — Sat, 27 Jan 2007 14:14:23 GMT

"Soyburger" is an anonymous Mac nut who lives in O'Fallon, Illinois, and here's what he nonchalantly describes as his "basement Mac collection." Except it's more like the Official Museum of Every Mac Ever that you might see at Apple's own HQ. Outfitted with museum-quality furnishings in iPod-white, Soyburger's collection of about 75 Macs includes the original Macintosh 128, the highly-collectible Color Classic, and the clunky 20th Anniversary Mac. He has Newtons, Apple IIs, and just about every version of the fruity iMac ever shipped. It's really quite something -- I've never seen the like.

Happy Birthday Macintosh ! - The Making of "1984"

MacOS — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 23:01:12 GMT

I am proud to present: the "Making Of" of the legendary "Macintosh 1984" advertisement. The ad, the brainchild of the Chiat/Day advertising agency, played well when shown to an sales conference in 1983. But the company's board of directors balked and ordered the ad withdrawn from its Super Bowl slot. Only the intervention of Steve Wozniak, who said he'd pay for the spot personally if the board refused to air it, saved the day. Read more about the making of this advertisement.

"Mac" trademark belonged to another company...

MacOS — Fri, 19 Jan 2007 23:34:23 GMT

Steve Jobs' trademark spat with Cisco over "iPhone" isn't the first time Jobs has brought a product to market with another company's trademark -- he did it with the Mac. According to the biography of former Apple CEO John Sculley, Odyssey: Pepsi to Apple, Jobs launched the Mac in 1984 even though the "Mac" trademark belonged to another company. "Knowing we would face trademark challenges over Steve's decision to launch Macintosh under its original codename, Al (Eisenstat, Apple's general counsel) had argued at full volume that Steve should pick another name for the computer," Sculley writes on page 208. Sculley doesn't name the other company, but says: "Steve prevailed, but it ultimately cost us nearly $2 million in out-of-court settlements."

How Apple Kept the iPhone Secret

There's a pretty good analysis of Apple's miraculous ability to keep the iPhone secret right up until its release by Peter Lewis from Fortune. How did Apple do it? Keeping secrets from spouses and children, threats of dismissal and prosecution and, my favorite, showing fake prototypes to employees and, yes, even strategic partners.

Apple Computer changes its name

MacOS — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 00:15:32 GMT

Although not relevant to the Macintosh 68k series these days, I caught something interested in the news tonight. Apparently, as of today, Apple Computer is no longer known as "Apple Computer Inc.". Steve Jobs has renamed the company to simply: "Apple Inc.". Removing "Computers" from the name is to reflect the fact they now make other consumer products, but still, it seems kind of weird. No more weird, I suppose, than the disappearance of the rainbow colored Apple logo or the Apple II series that started the company.

We love Apple. Apple knows more about "clean" design than anybody, right? So why do Macs, iPods, iBooks and the rest of their product range contain hazardous substances that other companies have abandoned? A cutting edge company shouldn't be cutting lives short by exposing children in China and India to dangerous chemicals. That's why we Apple fans need to demand a new, cool product: a greener Apple.
